We absolutely DO recognize that fact. Do you recognize the fact that where there is more than one meaning to a word that context, not selecting which meaning fits your preconceived notions, is what determines WHICH definition applies? And context encompasses not only a verse, but, well, this...

Sooooo . . . we've identified that this person is preaching a false gospel and we've refuted it. We're pretty sure he's a troll. So the only thing left to do is to let the thread die a natural death by ignoring it from this point forward until this guy gets himself banned.

John Burton? Enough said. He claims that there are 'unsaved Christians'. His theology is twisted and evil. BigGuy, please don't be taken in by this man. An accurate presentation of the Gospel of Grace can be found in the following book: The Hyper-Grace Gospel: A Response to Michael Brown...

Hi guys - just peeking at a few posts today. A quick note: I haven't been around much, as one of our children (age 11) was diagnosed with brain and spine cancer in August. It was quite a miracle that they caught it - he had injured his wrist in a fall and was at our local children's hospital for...

Ugh. No. Not sinning is NOT what is in view here, but ministering to the sinner and pointing them to Christ. "Integrated message system?" Where are you getting this stuff? Integrate Christ and His Work into your interpretive lens and experience freedom FROM sin/sinning/focusing on sin...

Agreed! I think the exploration of God's creation will bring Him great joy and WILL be an act of worship of Him \o/. I look forward to spending Eternity exploring all of the wonderful places in His Creation as well as being with Him/Christ/Holy Spirit and all of His sweet Saints! Also, if...

Um, no. Textual Criticism is the examination and evaluation of original texts to see what is and is not authentic and consistent content of ancient texts. From those conclusions translation commences. In Biblical translation there are two basic philosophies (for lack of a better word)...

Jesus’ Gospel? Paul’s Gospel? Are they different? Or are they complementary? Is Paul’s Gospel ‘his’, or is it God’s Gospel embraced by Paul? Are Paul’s writings (and the other apostolic writings in the New Covenant Scriptures) what Jesus alluded to in John 16? I was asked this question in...

Oh, Canada! I spent many summers in Southern Ontario growing up. I'm a Yankee with Canadian roots :). And yes, it can get really hot in Canada in the summer! Thankfully there are some really wonderful, pristine lakes to jump into :cool:! -JGIG

The thing that distinguishes these types of threads is how much focus is on us and what they say WE must do, be, perform. The focus is on US, not on CHRIST. The focus is also on sin - sinning, not sinning, avoiding sinning, thinking about not sinning, identifying sin, categorizing sin, rating...

AMEN! The Gospel in Twenty Questions: Paul Ellis: 9781927230107: Amazon.com: Books

Here's a good picture of how big God's Grace is compared to us and our failings. Keep in mind that the blue pictured is but a tiny, tiny fraction depicting of the vastness of the oceans of God's Grace. Then note how big 'you' are:

Have You Confessed Your Sins? There’s an App for That. Only $1.99 and available for Apple and Android! (I checked - Google Play offers it, too.) So for you Law-keepers and Conditional Security types who believe you must confess your sins continually to receive forgiveness (something you...

. Christ's Gospel? Paul's Gospel? Are they different? Or are they complementary? Is Paul's Gospel 'his', or is it God's Gospel embraced by him? Are Paul's (and the other apostolic writings in the New Covenant Scriptures) what Jesus alluded to in John 16? I was asked this question...

6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since...

If you believe that, then you don't believe that the Blood of Christ forgave all sins as the Scriptures say (1 Jn 2:2). The only sin that is unforgivable is the sin of unbelief. Is it okay for a believer to continue on in habitual sin? No, sinning is destructive to the believer and to those...
