We agree on the doctrinal teaching of Romans 6, 7 and 8. Our point of contention seems to be around how much of a role our personal efforts in resisting the temptation to sin, compared to how much the Holy Spirit contributes to our daily "victory over sin tally". We agree that we can't...

Sunday became the Lords Day, when the Lord Jesus Christ fully accepted, authorized, and ordained the transition from the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday (the Lord's Day). This change was not an arbitrary or independent human decision made by the Apostles. Rather, it was a divinely appointed change...

I don't even know how to respond to someone who is so deluded that they claim that a wicked sinner sat at Gods table in heaven and enjoyed fellowship with the heavenly Father. You didn't present any facts about the parable, your interpretation of the parable is nonsense. You're right about...

Romans 8:1 declares there is "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". This means believers are completely delivered from the guilt of sin and the wrath of God. God accomplished this by sending His Son to condemn sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3), satisfying divine justice through...

I have shown you plenty of evidence, but you ignored it all because it exposed your private unbiblical opinions.

That's not even funny, it just shows that your childish and clueless.

That's a bunch of nonsense. It doesn't matter what family you were born into, every single person in the history was born dead in sin. Our hearts are wicked above all things, so it's ridiculous to suggest that such evil people can be in the presence of God. The prodigal son was never near the...

Galatians 5:16 does not teach that believers are sanctified by choosing to obey the command to walk in the Spirit. Believers lack any inherent spiritual power to produce holiness or conquer sin. Believers stand in constant need of the actual aid of the Holy Spirit for every act of obedience...

Romans 8 does not teach that believers are set free from sin and death. Verse 1 ("there is therefore now no condemnation") is a legal declaration of justification. God does not overlook sin, but executes the legal sentence of the Law upon Christ as the substitute. God achieved what human...

There is plenty of Biblical evidence showing that the Lords Day is the 1st day of the week.

While regeneration (the new birth) breaks the absolute tyranny and supreme rule of the old sin nature over a person. The legal and moral hold of the "old man" was crucified with Christ (Romans 6:6), meaning believers are no longer slaves legally bound to obey sin. Believers remain...

The Apostles' presence in the synagogue on the Sabbath, (Acts 13:42-44) does not imply that Saturday remained the holy day for the Christian church. Instead, this passage reveals that the Apostles were preaching the gospel to the unconverted Jews and Gentiles. So it was by no means a Lords Day...

You haven't identified any of my supposed errors and you haven't given any reason for rejecting the Bible doctrine of "eternal security", nor have you justified your rejection of Gods Word regarding "election and predestination onto salvation". You claim that the "Prodigal Son was a saved...

Even with a renewed heart, believers retain a remaining sin nature (the "flesh") until physical death or glorification. Holiness is a lifelong process of mortifying sin and relying on grace, not a one-time achievement of complete sinlessness. In Galatians 5:17, Paul states that the flesh and...

Sunday did not merely "replace" Saturday as a rigid calendar swap; rather, the weekly Sabbath principle was fulfilled and transitioned to the Lords Day (Sunday) in honor of Christ's resurrection. There are two parts to the Fourth Commandment, there's a moral element and a ceremonial/shadow...

I was encouraged to read your reply, I'm glad you explained your position clearly. I was somewhat confused earlier, as I got the sense that you believe human efforts contribute something to the work of salvation. As I read through some of our posts, I realize I may have been to rigid with my...

Hebrews 6:6 has to be teaching that Christ's atonement was a once and for all event. And if someone claims to believe in Him and then falls away, it means they never truly believed and they will never find any other way of salvation, apart from the one they rejected. If someone rejects the...

The gospel verses you mention above, were speaking about the time before the resurrection. And Sunday had not yet replaced Saturday as the Christian Sabbath. I can't think of any scriptures that would support Sabbath keeping after the resurrection. The book of Acts shows the disciples meeting...

Glad to hear that most of your prayers weren't answered, whilst you were disobedient to God. We don't know what's best for us, but God does so we should thank Him for not giving us everything we ask for. Thank God, the Holy Spirit was still working in you, otherwise you would have fallen away...

How is it that you claim to believe all the above verses, yet you don't believe this principal applies to Hebrews 6:4-6 According to your interpretation of Heb 6:4-6 true believers (Gods elect) can lose their salvation. That contradicts everything those verses you listed teach.
