Bible study will help.

Yes. . . Unbelief in the promise (Ge 3:15, 15:5, Seed, Jesus Christ, Gal 3:16) is the cause of condemnation. Yes, Adam disobeyed God's law (command), which caused his physical death. Sin is transgression of the law (1Jn 3:4). Prior to the law, what sin was in the world when there was no...

In the light of the NT (Jn 1:12-13), neighbor and brethren are not the same thing. All brethren are neighbors, but not all neighbors are brethren.

The brethren of Christ being the children of God, born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, nor of a husband's will, but born of God (Jn 1:12-13).

And which faith is not a work of man, but only the gift of the Holy Spirit (Php 1:29, Ac1348, 18;27, 2 Pe 1:1, Ro 12:3), for we cannot even see the kingdom of God (much less believe in it) apart from the new birth by the Holy Spirit (Jn 3:3-5), which itself is as sovereign (unaccountable) as...

I think he is saying they are vessels of wrath who have prepared themselves (reflexive) for destruction.

I think that means peace between God and man on earth because of the atoning sacrifice, rather than peace between men.

Actually, we have to believe what the NT presents. And it presents the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of the inheritance of the born again.

All the ear-marks of humanistic reasoning, and none of Biblical revelation.

Actually, Heb is treating of apostasy (Heb 3:12, etc.)

Was Abraham at risk of losing the righteousness credited to him by faith? Does Ro 4:1-4 give any indication of such? Nowhere is that even suggested in Scripture. Contraire. . .you don't really understand the nature of the new birth, nor the deposit/earnest money of the Holy Spirit from God...

So that makes me amil?
