Featured Regenerated/saved "through faith"

You can't deal with the Biblical evidence so you attack the person presenting the evidence! Another cultic MO!

 

Your argument is stupid! First, I never claimed to be equal to any apostle - that is your straw man imagination at work. Second, Do you think God saved Paul one way and others another way when Paul Himself placed an accurse on anyone preaching any other gospel than he preached and under which he was saved - Just look at the context (Gal. 1:6-14) before you make such an ignorant comment!

Again, look at the context of Galatians 1:6-15! Paul has placed a curse on ANYONE preaching another gospel or salvation different than the one THEY RECEIVED FROM HIM and you think he is going to turn around and claim he was saved under a DIFFERENT gospel or DIFFERENT salvation than them???? Thus place himself under the curse he makes???????????????

 

Get yourself a good commentary and study that verse. He is simply saying that his salvation and apostleship did not occur during the time when the rest were saved and made apostles but his occurred AT A DIFFERENT TIME distinct and separate from the other apostles - that is the abnomality. Not that his salvation was by another gospel or another kind of salvation. Look at the context again! Look at verses 3-4 and ask yourself what "scriptures" can Paul possibly have in reference since the New Testament Scriptures had not even been written at this time!!!! The same gospel preached before the coming of Christ is the same gospel preached after the coming of Christ as the New Testament gospel is "according to the Scriptures" - the Old Testament Scriptures:

1 Cor. 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Heb. 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Luk. 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Lk. 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

 

You wouldn't know the truth if it starred you in the face!

 

Like SBM you cannot deal with the evidence so you either practice RJP or make personal attacks upon the one presenting the evidence. For one who claims to love the scriptures you treat them dispicably, ignore them, pervert them and refuse to deal with them.

Your text jerked out of context does not mean what you forced upon it to mean. It only means that Paul was not called to apostleship when the others were during the earthly ministry of Christ and thus ABNORMAL to the other 12. It does not mean he was saved any differently by any other gospel, by any other salvation. That is pure imagination on your part with not one single scriptural text to stand on.

The amusing thing is that you make that false presumptive statement in regard to Galatians 1:15-16 when the very preceding context places a curse upon anyone from heaven or earth that preaches another gospel or any other gospel than what Paul preached and RECEIVED from Christ.

 

This text simply means WHEN AT THE POINT OF FAITH we were enemies or as Paul calls them in Romans 4:5 "the ungodly" we were reconciled by faith, then how much more now being reconciled by faith in Christ shall we be saved by His life.

 

First, to simply point out the correct grammar is not a boast but a fact.

Second, the words "were enemies" representes the present tense not a past tense - look at your Greek New Testament.

Third, "were reconciled" and "being reconciled" are both Aorist tense.

Finally, the grammatical truth is that at the point of reconciliation we were presently enemies, which refers to our LIFE on earth at the point of reconciliation rather than at the cross or in eternity past. So you are wrong again!

This is like saying we were lost when we were saved! Dah!!! Who else can be saved but the lost?

This is like saying we were ungodly when were imputed righteousness! Dah! Who else needs imputed righteousness but the "ungodly"??

This is like saying we were "enemies" WHEN we were reconciled! Dah! Who esle can be reconciled but enemies???

He is not talking about what happened before the world began but when were were PRESENT TENSE enemies, alive and at enmity toward God during our life time when we were reconciled by faith in the gospel.

He is not talking about what happened on the cross before we were born but when were PRESENT TENSE enemies, alive and at enmity toward God at the point in our life when were reconciled by faith in the gospel.
