If you cannot give a gift back - then it is NOT a gift.
It is a sentence . . .2332r4233223

Still void of understanding.
Still trying to compare spiritual gifts with earthly gifts.

You can give an earthly gift back, because you that received is the same you that can give it back.

A man who receives the spiritual gift of salvation, becomes a changed man.
The man who received the gift no longer exists. DUH!!

Rom 6:6 The old man IS CRUCIFIED!!

You really need to do your linguistic homework . . .

You should spend more time reading Scripture!

And YOU don't know your Bible very well . . .
James 1:21
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can SAVE you.

James 2:14
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith SAVE them?

James 4:12
There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to SAVE and to destroy.

James 5:14-15
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will SAVE the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

James 5:20
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will SAVE them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Do yourself a favor and crack open a Bible BEFORE you respond.
This is getting embarrassing . . .

Click to expand...

You should be embarrassed; not knowing the difference between receiving salvation and ;
Will save, able to save; can save.

I didn't invent him - YOU did.

Click to expand...

Been warned in Scripture about your kind;
Who makes up tall tales, and in your case disgusting tall tales, then falsely say someone else did.

Thou shalt not bare false witness...
Guess that is overlooked to be taught in Catholic schools.

And anybody who believes in the anti-Biblical farce that is OSAS shares in your delusion . . .

Click to expand...

How many times have you SHAMED THE Lord asking over and over for repentance?

Skeered to answer?

And, as I've shown you several times now, Einstein - "Calling" on the Lord isn't good enough

Click to expand...

Your showing is wrong as usual.

Rom 10:13
WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.

unless you endure to the end in God's service . . .

Click to expand...

More of your lack of understanding.
Those who must endure to the end are the Jews, who believe in God, believe in the Word of God, believe in the Messiah;
But CAN NOT CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE Lord, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS IS THEIR Lord!
Those JEWS who "ENDURE" to their end;
Are the JEWS WHO, "continue to endure" IN OBEDIDENCE to their JEWISH LAWS!

Matt. 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Click to expand...

Again, you are without understanding.
The WILL of the Father is for men to become saved and born again.

Matt 7:21 is about men who were not saved or born again, but using the POWER of Jesus' name.

Matt 7:21 was not applicable to the conversation.

The thief DID endure to the "end", which was just a couple of hours later.

Click to expand...

Still you are without understanding.
Nothing whatsoever identifies the thief as a Jew in obedience to Jewish Law....

Which you should have known even if he was a Jew; Being a thief was NOT in obedience Jewish Law!

WHAT identifies the thief as being saved, what Him calling upon the Lord.

And you SHOULD have learned you disagreeing with what other people believe; is NOT a justification to make up lies about other people.

You touting yourself as some all-knowing Catholic, coupled with your snarky demeanor; merely impresses Catholic ways stink!

i already allowed that you could begin seeking with that understanding; all we are discussing is a perspective change that will or will not bear fruit imo; but i can tell you that when the parable is understood, you won't be advocating "the good thief" as a path to like salvation or whatever any more

you could start with the fact that all of the Apostles had deserted and ran already, who is recording this convo iow?

Ecc 1: 9
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
And that which is done is that which shall be done;
And there is no new thing under the sun.

This applies to everything.
The path to salvation was in the beginning;
BELIEF in God.
Then we find laws, and curses, and precepts, and forgiveness, and what ALL IS God, and what becomes changed on conversion, for the BELIEVING, etc.

The simplicity of Belief in God IS the Lord, Gods Word, Gods Power, God Himself, and calling on Him to confess BELIEF.

The path is narrow, and few walk on it.
Some avoid the path altogether;
And some just barely step on the path;
Ie such as the thief;
And some step on the path and hit bumps along the way;
And some step on the path and scurry along building a strong relationship with the Lord being very driven to glorify the Lords name on earth.

Point being; Those on the path are testified of in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Some are called the Least in the Kingdom.
Some are called Great in the Kingdom.

Some shall receive few rewards.
Some shall receive many rewards.

Is the thiefs way, the most ideal way? No.
But it is acceptable to God.
And he shall be glorified, and be forever with the Lord.

Everything becomes corrupt, men, the habitat of man, (earth), even teaching of Gods Word.

In the beginning Gods desired men to Believe IN Him.

Being in the last days, the same.

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of Lord SHALL be saved.

BTW ~ being crucified "WITH" Jesus, is part of the conversion, whereby the, man presents his body, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God...
Rom 12:1

The other thief, was not "WITH" Jesus, because they were bodily crucified at the same time.

God Bless,

As long as YOU keep promoting the criminals who were crucified with Jesus as a figment of Jesus's imagination - I'll keep exposing you.

But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate,
and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

well, imo if the whole point of Christian Salvation is "Life, more abundantly," then deathbed profession rituals are just that, but then who are we kidding Christians are mostly kidding themselves anyway i guess. We're pretty much all playing "who can be the least pagan" imo. or the most, lol

Of course my point is simply that I cannot know that a person on his death bed was or was not saved unless God let me in on the final decision for that particular case. He has not done that for me for anyone yet. As I though I said, generally, I would say that people who express an interest in repentance at that late point in time probably have an underlying motive, but not being God how can I know for sure. This is why I would avoid making a final ruling. The fortunate thing for most people is... it is not my job. Some people as you may have noticed from time to time make definite statements that would effective damn people such as: "If you are not in my boat, you are lost".

Sometimes I may have been "playing" in ignorance, but when it comes to the things of God I hope that I always have my heart turned toward Him. If any of us are "playing" as if we are going to fool Him, it would seem to me that we might as well just jump in with both feet and live like the devil.

There is an old song the words of the one phrase which I want to speak and mean and live accordingly: "I love Him too much to fail Him now". Some OSAS people think they are there, but I have some very serious doubts about them. I don't however condemn them. Not my job.

Not as bad as those of a person who openly LIES on a public form, where everything is recorded for posterity.

Yup, OSAS "ignoirance".

The fact is that you're not saved until you're in Heaven.
Until then, you are going through the process of sanctification.

Oh, so according to you are NOT saved.

And according to you, receiving salvation ONCE is not sufficient.

And according to you, a saved man, (in heaven) can give back his salvation.

LOL

Until then, you are going through the process of sanctification.

More comedy.

It's only funny to you because you're Scripturally-bankrupt.

The Scriptures assure us that we as Christians are ALREADY SAVED (Rom. 5:1, 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8)
This is Initial Salvation – God give us the initial grace to believe.

However, because Salvation is a LIFELONG process – it ALSO says that I am BEING SAVED (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, 7:1, Phil. 2:12, Heb 12:14).
This is Ongoing Sanctification – God is sanctifying us throughout our life as we cooperate with his grace.

Because of this, I have the hope that I WILL BE SAVED (Matt. 24:13, Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15).
This is Final Sanctification/Salvation – We die and go to heaven having endured to the end.
