Forgive me, @Taken, but, 'There are none so blind as they who will not see'.

Thread Subject:- The Eternal Security Heresy: A Comprehensive Refutation of OSAS Hello @Ferris Bueller, I would not call the possibility of the loss of salvation lacking in importance. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello Taken, I illustrated that in reply #179. Chris

'According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, .. through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: .... Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: ...... that by these ye might be partakers of the...

Hello @soul man, I believe that these prayers relate to something more than the experience of being born from above. It has to do with the acknowledgement of the church which is the body of Christ, and all that is associated with it, and of Christ which is it's Head. This is why 'the spirit...

Hello @Taken, Did I say that? No, I did not. I am saying that the president has shown little regard for the welfare of others by his actions following his diagnosis of Covid19. Thank you Chris

Mr Trump does not appear to be able to see beyond himself, for he was willing to put his security men and driver at risk in order to parade himself before his supporters, and said that the risk he took did not matter for he was fine. But what of those men who had to walk beside him and care...

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:' (Ephesians 2:8.) Hello @soul man I thank God for the truth that verse contains too, @soul man. However, I have been looking at the two prayers of Ephesians (Ephesians 1:17+ and Ephesians 3:14+), and...

Hello @Davy, My OP said all that I had to say upon the subject of the meaning of the words, 'the letter killeth': so I am unlikely to proceed to say anything, 'silly', as you say. * As to the law, I, as a gentile, was never under it: so why should I now seek to be? When even Peter said in...

2 Corinthians 3:3-9 'the letter killeth' Hello @MattMooradian Within the context of the verse in question, what I said was perfectly right. However you are also perfectly right in saying that the entire Old Testament is referred to as 'the Law'. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

@Keraz @Enoch111 Thank you very much for responding to my OP. I am trying to get the events of this period clear in my mind. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello Keraz, Thank you for contributing to the thread. I ask for your patience because I am abysmally ignorant of end time events, though I have read and re-read the Scriptures associated with it. You refer to the Biblical fact that God will put an end to this world of injustice and...

Thank you, @Keraz, I will print off your reply, check out the Scriptures you have provided and consider what you have said in the light of them, with Revelation 20:1-10 in mind. Within the love of Christ our risen and glorified, Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Revelation 20:1-10 Hello there, * It would seem that the only definite Scripture we have concerning the period of 1000 years, which we know of as 'The Millennium' is to be found in Revelation 20:1-10. That word is not used in Scripture, but is a word which has become commonplace, but...

Tell me the Old, Old Story: "Christ Jesus makes thee whole" Hello there, This is wonderful, and it is true: Christ Jesus our risen Saviour, Lord and Head has made us 'whole'. Yet, this is the truth that is most attacked. For man will not accept that he has to come to the Lord saying...

Hello there, Reading through the book of Ephesians this morning, this hymn came to mind, for as I read the Lord was bringing me under conviction, and readjusting my mind and heart, which had become contaminated by the world and it's ways. 'Tell me the old, old story .. Of unseen things above...

'Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised ) And let us consider one another to...
