Hi forgivenWretch,I like your one-line response to Franklyn. If a believer in God's Word says that he agrees with a specific Scripture (that means he understands it, of course), then he can not come back with "BUT."He can only ask for help to understand why or how it "appears" to contradict with...

Hi kriss,I know that you have a lot of Bible knowledge, for I've read many of your Posts and Replies. I also know that you love Jesus as your Savior, and I rejoice to know that! That's what really counts, isn't it?Having said that, I would like to add that God commands us to get knowledge, get...

Hi kriss,The Bible clearly teaches that people are predestined to salvation or damnation. Your words:"And Wayne believes everyone is predestined to heaven or hell that even if you are good Christain and never break Gods law if you are not predestined by God you go to hell anyway this is...

Hi kriss,I don't know where you are getting your ideas from about the security of slavation, but you need to stop listening to that source and start believing God's Word.Read John chapter 17 carefully and prayerfully. The truth of eternal security for the believer is right there. Do you suppose...

Hi letsgofishing,kriss gave you a good answer to your concerns about jesus statement in John 10:34, "Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your law, "I said you were gods?" Another aspect to look at is that He used the small "g" to indicate human beings. In the Old Testament, judges were...

Hi Franklin,I'm not sure who started this thread about the possibility of losing one's salvation, but I'd like to help you to see that it is not possible for one who is ransomed by Jesus Christ to still be left as a captive of the devil. 1) Romans 8:34,38,39, "Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is...

Hi Aleks_Kravchuk,The dictionary defines "meditate" as "To reflect upon; ponder; contemplate." and "meditation" as "a devotional exercise of contemplation.You don't need to be afraid to meditate on God's word. That is the very process that the Holy Spirit uses to renew our minds to make them...

Hi forgivenWretch,One who is truly regenerated by the Holy Spirit and given the gift of faith to believe in Jesus Christ as Savior, cannot lose salvation!1 Peter 1:3-4, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a...

Hi kriss,What really counts is that you love God "with all your heart and soul and mind and strength." I can see that you do. I praise God that you and I have a salvation that is kept for us in Jesus Christ "who intercedes for us continually." Romans 8:34,38 "Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is...

Hi WildB,A request: whenever you quote the Bible directly, you need to give the reference to the book, chapter, and verse. That is a big help to all who read you Post. It makes it possible to verify your quote and, maybe, to read around it a little and learn something you didn't even intend in...

Hi goldy,Regardless, of what religion you are speaking of, religion can be a comfortable place to be, especially if that's what you have known from birth. The Bible, its daily reading a study, will make you uncomfortable with your religion. I can almost guarantee that. We need to be made...

Hi Jackie D,Your words:"I guess what I want to know is does religion define a relationship with God? And if it does how?"You have to be careful to maintain a daily Bible reading and study relationship with God. No religion can or should replace that.It was the most religious men of Jesus' day...

Hi to all my brothers and sisters, in Christ,I just wanted to express that my mind and soul are filled with joy this weekend as I, along with all of you, celebrate the glorious salvation we have all received through the Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!2 Corinthians 5:21, "For our...

Hi kriss,You have included some important quotes that are a call to true faith. I don't see in any of them the idea that we can lose our justification (our salvation). John 10:28-29, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who...

Hi Shan Missions,The type of people you are describing in your Reply were never saved in the first place. They are lost in themselves to such an extent that they think that they can just add religion to the rest of their possessions and all is fine.It's the same outward show that the Phaisees of...

Hi horsecamp,Denver has told you a very important truth that you need to pause over, sit down quietly, put your defense of your church to one side, and pray earnestly to the Lord who saved you by His death and resurrection. God will reveal the truth to you if you sincerely seek it.You know, it...

Hi setfree,If you broaden this topic out a bit, you'll discover that everyone has a religion . . . is religious, even those who would vehemently deny that they belong to any religion. That's because everyone knows there is a God over them as we see in Romans 1:18-21, "For the wrath of God is...

Hi goldy,Is it belonging to the Catholic Church that is the focus of your relationship with God? Or is it being a Christian that centers your world view?waynemlj
