Is it possible to lose salvation?

[GodsGrace]

@GodsGrace,

Fighting people on here is just stupid.

I ignore people who just wanna fight makes my life a lot easier especially on websites like this.

Just cause "christianity" is in the title one has to remember it just a forum site with all kinds of different people and some that wish to be malicious.

So I'm stupid for trying to spread the word of God?

Please read posts 998, 1005 and 1013 again.

Apparently you don't understand Christianity OR Forums.

No one here is being malicious.
We're posting what we believe the NT teaches.

No need to insult members you don't even know.

 

[GodsGrace]

interpretation

Your right, I just do not want people to know it.

for example

You post

2 Tim 1: 9 who HAS SAVED US (A COMPLETED ACTION) and called us with a holy calling, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS , but ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE which was GIVEN TO US in Christ Jesus BEFORE TIME BEGAN

But you do not understand, there are works required. don;t read the words no works. you are misrepresenting what Paul said, because you do not knopw what the word belief means

or you post.

Rom 11: 6 And IF BY GRACE, THAN IT IS NO LONGER OF WORKS, ; otherwise GRACE IS NO LONGER GRACE.But IF IT IS OF WORKS, THEN IT IS NO LONGER OF GRACE. OTHERWISE WORK IS NO LONGER WORK

Again, your reading this wrong. there are works involved. You can not (whatever excuse you would use to deny your belief that works are required)

or going further

Titus 3: 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOOD DEEDS) WHICH WE HAVE DONE , but ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED USthrough the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE we should become HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE

Whats your response?? I can assume you would say something like, well yes, it appears he is saying not even our good deeds can save us, but thats not true. Because you do not know what the word believe means. works are not only essential, they are required. your reading this wrong.

I mean come on @GodsGrace you make it to easy

Happy to make it easy for ya EG!

We're having such beautiful weather here.
God is so good to us.
Even in hardship He's always at our side.

I just can't argue this anymore.

(for now anyway!)

I hate to be in that state of mind, where everything I do is dependent on me having to defend myself, but I don't really have to defend myself.

I am not here to judge others, nor condemn them, but there are people out there who love to judge and condemn people just to feel good about themselves, or have power over others.

That stuff isn't even of the spirit, it's of the flesh...

It's like children in the playground in the sandbox. I am not saying I am not guilty of fighting but the Spirit doesn't lead us to fighting, but to self-control.

I call people who can quote scriptures typicallly scriptural lawyers, they are no different than the Pharisees in the days of Jesus.

I never called you stupid. But you are being very frisky.

There are people on this board that desire to be malicious. Just because the word "Christianity" is on the website, doesn't mean everyone really is truly living by the Spirit. There some people who actually love to try to cause harm to others, either ignorantly or on purpose.

Matthew 7:21
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.


No comment necessary.

Your right no comment necessary

who are those saved. those who does the will of the father in heaven

what is the will of the father in heaven?

John 6: 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

I can do this all day. keep bringing them, I will keep exposing your false interpretation of them

so your calling @GodsGrace a scripture lawyer because she keeps posting these verses?

 

[MatthewG]

@GodsGrace,

would you not say your currently being malicious to me, saying things like I don't know anything about Christianity or forums?

Well MatthewG....
I think that by now I kinda know who's doing what.

You DO seem to worry about malicious persons.
I thought you didn't worry?

yeah. Stop worrying about what persons do on Forums and start worrying about persons
knowing the word of God.

That would be better.

No, What you did was judge people

now when people called you out for judging them, your trying to defend yourself. while saying your not trying to defend yourself.

I love ya bro. but sometimes it is better to just not get in the middle of a discussion

 

[GodsGrace]

@GodsGrace,

would you not say your currently being malicious to me, saying things like I don't know anything about Christianity or forums?

I said that you apparently do not know how Forums work.
It's obvious from your statement.

If you think that's being malicious...
well, you don't know what malicious is either.

Now you'll scold me for saying that?

I don't have time for this.

Do as you will.

The truth of that matter is they can read for themselves.

If you want to teach the bible I think that is great! I love the bible and its helpful resources, and I encourage people to continue to read that but make sure it doesn't get in the way of worshiping in spirit and in truth the Father whom seeks for people to do so according to Jesus.

I was just being truthful, asking a question and seeing what you thought.


Im being calm cool and collective as I possibly can be.

who is trying to cause harm to others?

is disgreeing with someone causing harm to them?

if this is true. then they do not need to be on any Christian chatroom. because people will always disgree with us

I have you on ignore. You have to live your life without me in it. All the best.

 

[MatthewG]

People will cause harm to others...

And they think they are doing a great thing for God.

And especially if they disagree with someone.

They desire to slam their head in the lockers.

It's all fleshly, it's nothing of the spirit.

its probably for the best

when you attack someone. then they come back at you.. It is better you put them on ignore. to show who is the real malicious one here.

Setting boundaries online isn’t about being cold or distant—it’s about protecting your well-being while staying connected. Here’s why those digital lines matter:

Benefits of Online Boundaries​

• Emotional Safety: You control what kind of energy enters your digital space. Boundaries help you avoid negativity, manipulation, or emotional overwhelm.
• Time Management: Without limits, people can message you around the clock. Boundaries protect your time and help prevent burnout.
• Privacy Protection: You get to choose what personal info you share—and with whom. That’s powerful in a world where oversharing is common.
• Mental Clarity: Cutting out chaotic interactions or constant notifications lets you stay focused and feel more at peace.
• Respect & Empowerment: Communicating boundaries teaches others how to treat you—and shows you value yourself.

Whether it’s saying no to late-night DMs, muting toxic accounts, or being selective about who sees your stories—it’s all about cultivating a healthier experience online.

 

[MatthewG]

Key Benefits of Personal Boundaries​

• Self-Respect: You affirm your needs and values, which boosts confidence and self-worth.
• Emotional Balance: Boundaries help prevent resentment, guilt, or emotional exhaustion from constantly overextending yourself.
• Better Relationships: When both sides know each other’s limits, relationships tend to be more respectful, honest, and healthy.
• Freedom & Control: You get to choose how you spend your time and energy, and with whom.
• Reduced Stress: Saying “no” when you need to—without apology—can protect your mental health and prevent burnout.
• Growth & Independence: Boundaries let you nurture your goals and personal space without being overly influenced by others.

Think of boundaries not as walls, but as guardrails—they guide your interactions and keep you from swerving off your own path.
