We all make mistakes from time to time. Sometimes the issue isn't comparing scripture with scripture, but rather comparing our interpretation of one passage with our interpretation of another, assuming incorrectly that we have the correct understanding of both.
Nope. We've been through this. You failed to prove your case, and we saw, in addition, that no one else (no teachers, no commentaries) agree with your view.
LOL! Really? No, 2+ 2 = 4. It's really that plain.
Nah, it's plain: the word is "waver", and it is plain that it speaks of the one who is not fully convinced of the rightness of his deeds when he's doing them.
You can't imagine it, but Paul does. Oh, well. You're not on Paul's level, so your opinion is not worth noting.
Interesting. We'll leave it at that then.
You are of no assistance, because your interpretations and assumptions are manifestly incoherent.
Yes, but being accounted "dikaios" doesn't mean "being accounted righteous" as you supposed. Being accounted "dikaios", as it pertains to Abraham and all of those who share the faith of Abraham, being declared "dikaios" means "being declared "right with God" i.e. God will not punish. These aren't the same thing.
Jesus warns his disciples, and us through them, that if we are unwilling to forgive someone, then God will not forgive us. However, this passage and warning does not relate to the current question because Paul suggests that those "in Christ" have been given the Spirit of Christ. Therefore, since Jesus is willing to forgive others, and since those in Christ have the spirit of Christ, then they also are willing to forgive others.
You are making assumptions about me that aren't true. I forgive you.
Do the work. Show how they are coherent. It's easy to make an unfounded accusation. It's another thing to prove it.
Irrelevant: my God forgets righteousness, yours doesn't, so you think God changes. Your God isn't "the same yesterday today and forever".
No, "they also are willing to forgive others" is not Christ's teaching. Don't lie about Christ. Christ said you must make a choice--and if you make the wrong one, the forgiveness given you will be rescinded. If I taught anything like this, you'd say, "No, that's not possible. You're inventing a teaching based on a lie!" But since Christ says it, it cannot be denied, so you try to find another way to worm your way out of it.
No, observations, based on my interactions with you, are being made.
I have shown they are incoherent endlessly--and all teachers and commentaries (including your OSAS brothers) agree with me, and disagree with you, because the reality of the matter really is that self-evident.
Sinning gets us into trouble. For instance, if you rob a bank, you'll probably go to prison.
It's not that bad unless my diet is really bad. The better my diet is the better dialysis goes. It's mostly annoying. It breaks my days apart.
Half of the manuscripts don't have who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. in Romans 8:1. It is however, in verse 4.
Yes,
He doesn't believe your half baked ignorance, guy, he knows what Scripture says.
LOL You literally just admitted, several times, that Christians don't always walk after the spirit.
I did do the work. Your reply was, "I know that no one else agrees with my view of the Scriptures on this issue, but the reason all the teachers and commentaries (even those written by people who agree with OSAS, the view I'm trying to preserve) disagree must be because the bookstores, who sell those teachers' books and commentaries that make them money, love money, and not God--they're all conspiring to suppress my view!"
You did not do the work to prove your accusation that my view was "manifestly" incoherent.
I did, actually. LOL
