GOD SAIDS; You are all sinners. None of you are any good. When he died we were forgiven for all sins. Except the taking of the Mark of the Beast. 666 on our head or hand. He also freed us of guilt and shame. No other man has an Eternal Living God to forgive them of their sins except the "sons of God."Only one can repent . Born again Christians. Brothers to the first Son of God. Yahshua! "None of you are good. All are sinners." Yet. No others can be forgiven with Satan, of the "liars, thieves and murderers", John 8:44, jews=1750 frauds=Pharisees of Phariseeism, Edomites, Canaanites, Ishmaelites,- Arabs who murdered Christ. None of the 12 sins of Jacob, 12 Tribes of Israel. God's, only, Chosen. Matt 15;24 "I come only for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel". These were those god promised Abraham."Where ever your "seed" go into the world the world will be blessed." Why did Jesus say this then? He had 12 Israelites of several of the Tribes who would have to be replaced "to take the Good News into "the world of the devil". Missionaries!Neither of the other 2 races, Oreintal, S African were chosen to take the god News=Christianity into the to teach and redeem, by the Redeemer, the Lost Sheep of the House of Isreal who would teach allthe "mixed seed", none white "sons of the devil" beginning with the "liars, thieves and murderers", Pharisees=jews=1750 frauds=jews put in bible, the 1787 Rheim NT=fraud by the Popery of Catholicism=fraud. an 350 AD invention of the "liars"=jews=Pharisees. "Sons of the devil." There is only One Truth and Law. Yah. He is the Promise Keeper. Only Christians have nothing to fear from the "world of the devil." John 14:14 "If ye ask anything "in My name" I shall, must, do it. jim

Amen, and those who stop in their tracks and say, "Thus far and no further, Lord" cease to be such.

Amen. Our walk with Jesus is eternal. The realities we have here now today are the same as the realities
in heaven, and the rebellion is the same. To walk away from Him, is an eternal rebellion and reality.
People imagine that there is some other reality where in this dream world up is down and down is up, and
things will just be sweetness and light. But in Christ it is as it is. Jesus calls us to love the weak, the needy,
the ones we come across and give them space. For it is Him loving, Him meeting these folk and His love
flowing out from us.

But somehow there will be an other reality, which will take over. Unfortunately if you hate Gods people
here, you will hate Jesus when He appears. And the hatred will not be fake or something one can hide,
but clear as day. And that is the shock, that we live the testimony of our hearts and how they are resolved
here and now or not as the case maybe.

For the hard hearted, such words as these will bounce off and their view is I am a pharisee full of self
righteousness, and glorying in my status. Does not occur to them when they see Jesus they will feel
the exact same thoughts. God bless you

Good gravy, WHERE do you find a text that says "premature death" is used to as a measure to save anyone who has turned from following God? The moment they turn from God they have stepped outside from His umbrella of grace and only by MERCY does God allow them time to hear His pleadings to return to Him before they drift beyond the reach of His voice!

Only Gods Chosen Sons, Born again Christians, "in Jesus' image" have a Living God capable of saving or forgiving the sinful one who choses not to Trust and Obey. But" whosoever His Word is his love of God perfect' When he is not sinning, not needing God's sons to repent, thereby never having to experience Guilt and Shame. He is the Promise Keeper! All Christians, only, are sinners blessed with the Gift of repentance and forgiveness.

Security is part of knowing love. As a kid you snuggle your parents because in them is safety.

When safety becomes slander, evil behaviour, abuse, it is no longer love but wolves desiring destruction. And these wolves have no hiding their anger and false claims of following Jesus. They disown His words and His commands as impossible because their hearts do not know repentance and love.
They will defame any who listen to them like a sheep, justifying sin and compromise like it is life. They are nice people, so their sins are everyday annoyance, while hiding hate, anger and vengeance that burns in them.

Stand up to their lifestyle and it flows like a bucket of slop suddenly pouring out. No Holy Spirit grace, or peace, or love, just accusation and provocation.

Once you know them, you will not forget them, they intend destruction.

As Jesus says thorns and thistles are not figs and grapes. False prophets are they. And we have no compromise with such as these, their end is written.

The ten virgins are not the Bride of Christ. They are likened to the Kingdom, not the Bride. (Matt. 25:1)

I never said the ten virgins were the bride of Christ. The bride of Christ is shown in Revelation 21, which is another subject.

See (Ps. 45) which is a Psalm of a royal wedding. And concerning the Bride it says:

(Ps. 45:14-15) "She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the kings palace."

No need to get into Psalms 45 and Jewish wedding traditions. Jesus gave plenty enough symbols there in Matthew 25 with the parable so that a little child can understand it. I see some folks trying to use the ten virgins parable as an excuse to teach Jewish tradition and thus confuse the simplicity of the parable itself.

Luke 13
[22] And he [Jesus] went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
[23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
[25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
[26] Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
[27] But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
[28] There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
[29] And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

'I' said the ten virgins were not the bride of Christ. It is this misunderstanding, seeing everything pertaining to the Church, that causes much of the confusion of not only this parable, but others also.

(Ps. 45) sheds great light upon the subject. It draws a distinction between the Bride and the 10 virgins.

The parable is many things, but it is not easy to be understood.

So someone shared these verses with me today and I realize this is true. I believe in eternal security, but repentance is necessary for salvation and this is why:

The scripture teaches that repentance is a gracious free gift of God, and not works.

Acts 5:31 "...for to GIVE repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."

2 Timothy 2:25 "...if God peradventure will GIVE them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;"

Acts 11:18 "...Then hath God also to the Gentiles GRANTED repentance unto life."

Notice that the scripture says that the repentance God gives from sin is a repentance unto life, all life is in Christ so the repentance God gives turns from sin to Christ.

I always thought repentance was a work, so that we repent out of a grateful heart for Christ's sacrifice on the cross. And this is true, but repentance is also the grace. Not the work like I have believed. And it isnt as scarey as I thought. No one can pluck me out of God' hand, but it makes sense that someone can walk away from the faith. I think calling Osas garbage is not a good thing, because people really do come to Christ. Just because I was raised believing this way, doesnt mean I was any less saved. But I do see things in a different light now. Because repentance is even just a gift. We could not turn away from our sin without what Christ did for us.

Then why say our future sins are forgiven, if you don't believe that yourself. Do you know that only our past sins are cleansed? Adding to scripture "present and future sin" are already forgiven such as future murder, is error. And even you know that.

look it up 4 yourself, google

No...that is against the scriptures:

2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

...That "new creation" is of God, and it is God (Christ in us) who lives and does no sin forevermore. Galatians 2:20

"Whoever abides in Him does not sin." 1 John 3:6

Why do you not believe in all the scriptures and receive it?
