Sorry I missed this for a while wish new posts were up top! Your position is well stated, though I would disagree with much of what you are saying. We can certainly know the mind of God by both his word, and by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Scripture says we need no other teacher other than the Holy Spirit and he teaches us all things. Rather than getting caught up into kjv vs. other translations, none which are perfect on thier own aside from the original Greek and Hebrew, I would simply say go back to the original for the pure stuff if that's your hang up. There are numerous examples of those who continue in sin after they learn the truth and are lost. Only those who continue in the faith are saved it's not rocket science. Also there ar numerous scriptures that speak of those who will lose thier faith in the end times. Since you believe we are saved by "faith alone" which is stated no where in the bible, it goes without saying, those who lose thier faith lose thier salvation. A 12 year old understands this, but not doctors of theology who contort, twist, and add to and take away from scripture. I rest my case and stand on ALL the gospel not some of it. |
