Christ's Witness of Himself is Not True.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (John 5 : 31.)
It was Lawful for the Jews to Put Jesus to Death.
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to
die. (John 19 : 7.)
It was Not Lawful for the Jews to Put him to Death.
The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any
man to death. (John 18 : 31.)
Children are Punished for the Sins of their Parents.
I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of
the fathers upon the children. (Ex. 20 : 5.)
Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies
of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall
surely die. (2 Sam. 12 : 14.)
Children are Not Punished for the Sins of their Parents.
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father. (Ezek. 18 : 20.)
Neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. (Deut.
24 : 16.)
Man is Justified by Faith Alone.
By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified. (Rom.
3 : 20.)
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by
the faith of Jesus Christ. (Gal. 2 : 16.)
The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith. (Gal. 3 :
11, 12.)
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to
glory. (Rom. 4 : 2.)
Man is Not Justified by Faith Alone.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works?... Ye see then how that
by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. (James 2 : 21, 24.)
The doers of the law shall be justified. (Rom. 2 : 13.)
It is Impossible to Fall from Grace.
And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish,
neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. (John 10 : 28.)
Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor
any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 8 : 38, 39.)
It is Possible to Fall from Grace.
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that
the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath
done shall not be mentioned; in his trespass that he hath trespassed,
and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. (Ezek.
18 : 24.)
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy
Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto
repentance. (Heb. 6 : 4, 5, 6.)
