That's not how the Scriptures read.

Yes, it does. We have Scripture saying so: 1Jn 3:11-12 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, (12) not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's...

We have Scripture: 1Jn 4:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (2) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God...

Flood lights. There was no smoking or naked flames below deck, also.

Love it! Thanks.

Hi Jones12849, Scripture links repentance and salvation. 2Co 7:8-12 For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. (9) Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but...

What do you call it?

A 4 year old boy stopped peddling his trike and gazed thoughtfully at the sky. Perhaps he was interested in the white clouds and their shapes, his mother thought as she watched him from the house. Later that day, at meal time, the boy was still quite thoughtful. Then came the question that...

In either the highlands or lowlands, but not the midlands, apparently.

Thanks for providing this morning's topical study, Victoryin Jesus. The context is unwavering faith when asking God for wisdom in the face of difficulties: Jas 1:2-8 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; (3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works...

Yes. Good comment. Thanks for adding this reference, amadeus.

Rom 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Jos 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether...

Freewill is the term used to identify the examples where the dimension of human will is in evidence in the various choices regarding available options. You won't find the word BIBLE in the BIBLE either, but it is the term we use to identify the collected writings it contains. Rom 5:12-21...

Adam and Eve disobeyed God's instructions of their own free will.

I don't allow fallacies of logic to go unchallenged, particularly when they manifest as unqualified assertions which have no basis in fact, such as yours quoted above, which Scripture refutes, proving your logic to be flawed. Jas 1:13-15 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by...

The point is that God has made us capable of exercising freewill. The fact that God has predetermined our features and the features of our habitat does not exclude the dimension of freewill that He has predetermined us to have so that our love for Him will be sincere in response to His love for...

Obviously, as the word itself states, omniscience is knowledge of ALL THINGS, be they people, events, things above, below, infront, behind, left, right, and centre, be they material or abstract, God knows ALL THINGS, or else he isn't God. Col 1:17 And he is before ALL THINGS, and by him ALL...

I'm glad there is AN EMPTY CROSS to remind me of how Christ died and rose to SAVE THE LOST.

The metaphorical Whore of Babylon in Revelation 17 is not specifically "the church".
