Well, see how that helps with Hebrew or Greek words, or historical context.  For THOSE things, God has given us teachers and wise men who have expounded the Scriptures.  It seems to me that you are ungrateful to God for His gift, and would rather have just you and your Bible.  The Scriptures alone are the way to truth, but unless they be explained, who can understand them?  Unless they are translated, how can the common man know what they are saying? Yes, the Scriptures are wonderful in perspicuity, but that does not mean that they are without complexity or confusion in some areas.

It is hard to explain things to you because of how you believe.
I must apologize I have been hard on you but the facts are you dont have much understanding.

Let me explain something to you that might be a shock to you.

I have studdied for thousands of hours fasted for a total of months and asked God for Knowledge wisdom and understanding.

By being obedient and only by being obedient God gave me many Revelations.
Many he spoke to me.
Many he gave me visions.
Once a Cherubim came to me in Nigeria.
I do not get my understanding from man but from God.
I do get help with the Greek from a friend of mine who is known as one of the best Greek Theologians today.He as well helps me with the Hebrew and is good friends with Alehazer Ben Yahuda the great grand son of the father of Hebrew in the modern age .
Who brought the Hebrew language back to the Jewish people in the late 1800's

Now I would like to say this again .If God didnt tell you to teach then dont because you have not been chosen as is the case with probably 95% of preachers and teachers today.
God knows all things and belive me he can talk to someone who can hear.

"God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get."

 

Name that resemblance!

Actually, that would be the Pharisee in Luke 18:12.

If you are speaking of yourself I guess that would be the case they as well believed once saved always saved unconditionaly.
 Matthew 3:9 (KJV) 
    And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

...Wow.  When I think it couldn't get any worse, it just does. Let me help you.  You said:

Then I posted the quote from the Pharisee, which bore striking resemblance to what you said.  And yet, I was speaking of myself.  Yep.  That's it.  You hit the nail right on the head.  [/sarcasm]

You sir dont get it you are a Pharisee.
Look at what you teach "the same thing". They thought they could live like they pleased and still be a part of the Kingdom as do you. They couldnt and neither can you.
Please go to the New Once saved always saved unconditionaly link in the Bible study forum and debate. Dont just blow smoke give scripture and I will refute it just as I did before when you posted scripture BUT then you just started blowing smoke and ran off.

No.  The problem with the Pharisees was pride.  Jesus never once confronted them on their "eternal security."  Never once in the Scriptures do you see that they talk about eternal security.  From where you seem to be getting your views, I know not.  

The Pharisaical problem was, as I said, self-righteousness, pride, legalism, and an over-critical spirit; all of which you have shown in my short time on these boards.  For that, sir, YOU need to repent.

First we must look at John
Matthew 3:7-10 (KJV) 
    But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? [8] Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: "Truely repent from the Heart " [9] And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
" same as once saved always saved because Abraham was there Father"  for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. [10] And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Then Jesus Speaking to the Pharisees knowing how they believed "then and even now"

Matthew 5:20 (KJV) 
    For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 21:42-46 (KJV) 
    Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [43] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, "Is this not eternal security"and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."I guess we had bear some fruit because we know what happens to a branch that dont"  [44] And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. [45] And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. [46] But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

Once again, this is eisogesis.  Please don't use eisogesis, as it causes serious scholars and exegetes to not take you seriously.

Look, how about this:  Get into the Word with some good commentaries (Schreiner, Calvin, Leon Morris, Gordon Fee [Who is a Charismatic, so you'll like him], Douglas Moo, DA Carson, John Piper, even John MacArthur) and some good Lexicons or Dictionaries (Kittel's New Testament Dictionary, Waltke's OT dictionary, etc.).  Study hard, and come back.  I'm not trying to put you down, but all I see is eisogesis and faulty reasoning.  That's not becoming of a servant of God.
