Can someone tell me with complete confidence what ἐλέγξει means in John 16:8?
The word can be translated to have multiple meanings and it’s sorta breaking my brain as to what John 16:9-11 means then.

Reader,
There is no 2nd Chance to go to heaven, found in Hell.
And its the Devil's lie to teach that Hell can be escaped, or that its temporary.
Being found in Hell after you die, is proof that you are eternally separated from God, which is why you are there.
Let me show you why you will...
Reader,
In this world, there is religion.
Religion is a man made process whereby you try to reform your behavior so that it reflects some idea you have of what it means to be good or even righteous.
Religions reflect what some carnal self righteous man decided, and wrote down for you to...

In Romans 12:2 Paul tells us that we are to renew our mind.
This means.... the BORN AGAIN.....are to come into the right understanding, regarding revelation knowledge, of who we have become, (Born again) as = the "righteousness of God in Christ".
Paul teaches that when we have this right...

Reader,
An unbeliever is "under the law" := shows you that you are a sinner, with no Righteousness.
The Law and the Commandments can't give you any righteousness. They can only demand from you what you don't possess of yourself.
That is the "curse of the Law".
You need Christ as your...

1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become : "the new creation in Christ".
This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there.
However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different.
Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation on you...

Paul teaches us that the born again are """dead to sin and alive to God.""""
IF you are just water baptized, or similar, and were lied to about "water washes your sin away"... then reader, go to the Cross, and receive Jesus as your Savior, by Faith....today.
Now, How did that happen?.... How...

Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6.
So. reader....who's armor is it?
A.) ITs Gods.
So this means its Spiritual, and you can't see it or provide it for yourself.
What does that mean?
It means :
1.) you don't work for it,
2.) and you don't strive to have it,
3.)...

On "Christian" Forums ... you alway find an army of people who want to tell you about their confessing sin and trying to keep the law.
So, If you pay attention to Threads and posts, over time, you'll discover that the people who "sin and confess and repeat", also try to bring the Law to...

What is the difference between a Christian, and an unbeliever?
There are a few.
You, if you are born again, and not just water baptized (sprinkled) and religious) are going to heaven, and they are not.
You are born again, and they are not.
They have their sin, and Christ has all of yours...
שלום, Ειρήνη, Pax!
Dear brethren & sistren,
One of my longtime heroes, Dave Armstrong, a Catholic apologist & evangelist of many years & voluminous work, has recently published a new book: The Word Set in Stone: How Archaeology, Science and History Back Up the Bible. I've yet to read it...
What does it mean to be born again..
1.) Your sins are on Christ because "God made JESUS to be sin for us, who knew no sin"..... And God's Righteousness has become yours, as you have become "the Righteousness of God in Christ"....."made Righteous".
This is : "Salvation". This is "Redemption"...
1.) We know that we can't please God by works, law, or commandment keeping. So, all of that is not discipleship.
Paul said. "as many as be PERFECT",.. "the fullness of the Stature of Christ".
See that? That is referring to "the mind of Christ", and "walking in the Spirit". IN other words, that...

Paul teaches that : "Christ always gives (us, him) the Victory".
What Victory? What is Paul's context?
Listen..
"Victory", is deliverance from and over .... the world, your flesh, and the devil....at all times.
At all times....
So, Why dont most believers exist in that Victory that Christ...
I’m writing this to comfort those who struggle with this affliction myself included, This is not who you are, neither did God intend for you to have these feelings in the first place.
Everybody is born with a sin nature, this causes to be spiritually separated from God and to do evil things...

Before Paul was born again, he said that he had been "" blameless in the law.""
He had kept it, and later found that Christianity is not based on that,..... and discovered that in his inner man there is a tremendous conflict that occurs if he tried to strive to be holy in his flesh, (self...
How smart is the Devil?
He was not smart enough to realize that he could not sit on a Throne of Rulership above God, in Heaven, so, he was sent down here.
He is however, so very clever that he was able to deceive Eve into broken fellowship from God.
He is also so clever that he can...

Reader...
How do you get the victory over your flesh, the world and the devil?
How?
How do you end up here......."i can do ALL things Through Christ, which Strengthens me", and. "Christ ALWAYS gives me the Victory"... over the the flesh, the world and the devil.
How do you go...

Jesus is our Sanctification.
Reader....are you born again, or just water baptized and religious?
Jesus said..>"You must be born again"......and water can't do that for you.
So, when we are "In Christ", we are sanctified..... as Christ is our Sanctification.
1 Corinthians 1:30
And here...

1.) To be reconciled to God, has to be based on God.
Why?
Because its God who requires it, and so, its God who sent Christ The Lord to The Cross to provide to the world what GOD REQUIRES, so that anyone and everyone can become reconciled to Him....= ""The Gift of Salvation"".
This is the...
