    Has Jesus taught you what you believe about God?

    I would like to share with those who have allowed man to teach him or her about God, that only Jesus/Holy Spirit can teach one to know God. Remember if one sins he or she has never seen or known God. (1 John 3: 5 - 6) “ Now you know that He appeared in order to abolish sin, and that in Him...

    Assurance of salvation

    Why don’t you show us what scripture I am misquoting? I just quoted John, show me how I misinterpreted what he said. A sinner is of Satan. If you sin you are not a Christian, but a follower of the devil. John said that. You show me how I have misquoted him. 1 John 3:8) “He who does...

    Assurance of salvation

    Sin is any wrongdoing. Jesus came to do away with sin. If you sin you are of the devil. I did not say that John said that. When people deny that one can stop sinning they are in partnership with Satan. Keeping people from understanding that he or she never has to sin again, it doing...

    Assurance of salvation

    Hebrews tells us a sin. Of course in order to believe your theology Hebrews has to be discarded. It is in the written Word of God, but it some how needs to be made to be irrelevant. In the case of Hebrews Calvin and the rest of the reformers, had to find a way to eliminate what it says...

    Assurance of salvation

    Tell me how has Jesus personally taught you? You take one verse of the Word of God, and make it say what you want. The Church has never accepted your understanding of that verse. Why then do you believe you are right? Paul tells us one who sins will never enter the kingdom of God, yet you...

    Assurance of salvation

    Show me where in scripture that all one’s sins past, present, and future are forgiven. John tells us one who sins has never seen God nor knows God, and I quoted that scripture to you. I asked you to explain how that fits into your theology. You have ignored that question, why is that? Also...

    Why debate?

    Tim, you asked a question, and I will answer that first. Why debate; in my case it is a way for me to do as Jesus told me to do. I am to give a word, and debating with people about God gives me the opportunity to share. You have it right; debating what man teaches one about God is futile...

    Assurance of salvation

    Yes Jesus said what you quoted, but where is your proof that he was talking about one who still sins? Have you ever had Jesus teach you scripture? How do you answer what John told us in the following verses? Do you really believe someone who is of the devil will enter the kingdom of God...

    Assurance of salvation

    Your verses do not say where one will spend eternal life. You see if one sins he or he will never enter the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-19) “You know perfectly well that people who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God: people of immoral lives, idolaters, adulterers, catamites...

    Assurance of salvation

    First one needs to define being saved. Can you show me were in scripture it says being saved means assured of heaven? Paul explains that the Law will judge those who still sin. Those who live in the Spirit, live a holy life. (Galations 5:13-26)”For you were called for freedom, brothers. But...

    Just a thought about posting on Christian Forums.

    Jesus has had me post on the forums for years. I believed it was my way to give the word Jesus asked me to give. While that has some validity it was not, as I have just been told, the main reason for my posting. Jesus tells me that my posting was one of his ways of teaching me. I often...

    Who taught you about God? Who is your God?

    Thank you for your post. I have asked this question many times on a number of different forums, and you are the only one who has understood the difference of knowing who God is, and knowing God. Well two people in one thread understand, I thank you also. Well two people in one thread...

    Who taught you about God? Who is your God?

    If Jesus is your God who and how were you taught? Paul told us that only God could teach one to know God, has God taught you, how did he teach you? (1 Corinthians 2:10-12) “These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depts. Of...

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    For almost thirty years I have been trying to explain to people, who believe they are Christians that a spiritual Christian will not sin. The only people who seem to understand are those Christians who are spiritual. Yet Jesus keeps telling me to continue sharing. For people who are not...
