SIN TO DEATH
Sin To Death
“These things I have written to you who believe in the Name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who... -

How can you be honestly a KJVONLYIST?
Since 1968 I have been a pro KJV advocate. Also since 1968 I could honestly never be a KJVonlyist. -
Romans 9 Isn't What You Think It Is
So many people think that Romans 9 is about predestination and that it has a lot to say about how or why or whether someone is saved. The fact is, it doesn't have anything to do with either. Romans 9 is about Israel - the nation of Israel.
Before I get started, let me say first that I think that the Bible interprets itself and must be taken as a whole but that I also believe that individual passages of Scripture must stand on their own without being logically incoherent. In other words, we... -
There is No Natural Goodness in Me
"The transgressions of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes."—Psalms 36:1.
How striking is this scripture, and how true! Yes, my soul; thou needest not to look abroad into another's heart to see iniquity; for at home, in thine own, a voice may be heard continually proclaiming it. Renewed as thou art by grace, still thou feelest the workings of corrupt nature: and though, as the apostle said, "with thy mind thou thyself servest the law of God, yet... -
Historical usage of Words reveals the Contextual Meaning
False teachers attack truth by redefining the meaning of words. Many times in scripture the statement is made that salvation is "through faith." Often the Greek preposition "dia" which means "by means of" or "by reason of" when used to indicate instrumentality, is nullified by a non-literal corruption rather than literal interpretation.
If individuals were chosen for salvation unconditionally, then salvation would not be "through faith."
Thus when you see "through faith" (or by faith) some... -

Baptism Doth Also Now Save Us
I'd like to give my understanding of these verses and will be open to other possible interpretations.
1 Peter 3:15-22 - But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye... -
The Word prior to His incarnation.
John 1:1-2, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
It can be understood that the Word was always both with God and was God prior to His incarnation.
In His incarnation His being God did not change, but how He was with God did change.
