    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    James 1:13 does not mean what you think it means. God plainly says He creates evil. Isaiah 45:7. God works everything according to His purpose. That is what the Scriptures say. Proverbs 16:4 God creates all things for His purpose, even the wicked. You are twisting and struggling to explain...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If only I desired to spend the energy on picking apart every one of your sentences with critical precision. Look what you say here... Just look. "If what you say is true about salvation by faith alone...then people can sin all they want and be saved without loving God! Therefore, these people...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You have a problem with some Scripture. 'Says God moved David. 2 Sam 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    What? You missed the part where God determines sin. He determined Christ would be Crucified. Yet it is against His very law to murder. We are commanded to not sin. I agree. That doesn't mean sinning puts us in hell after Jesus becomes our Substitute.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    With the way you preach, you must think you aren't doing evil. A learned Christian is sensitive and knows just how much they sin in their lives, because they know God's Standard of judgement. A works salvationist like yourself thinks they are capable of doing good enough to please God...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You post tons of Scripture, but it doesn't address the issues like you think it does. Maybe post a manageable amount at a time, and we can have some reasonable engagement. I don't know about you, but if I sin, I have an advocate with the Father. Remember Jesus? The one whose works you keep...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You didn't address the verses where God controls Satan to do the tempting. You just denied them. Try Proverbs 16:4 along with them.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Free will belief is by far the wide gate. Hyper Calvinism is much less common. Might as well suppose Hyper Calvinism is the way. That looks like a problem for you.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    2 Sam 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 1 Chr 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 1 Chr 21:8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Fruitfulness is about maintaining your Salvation? Way to make it about you. Way to reduce God's Grace to... God handing you a candle as you traverse a pitch black corridor. Way to make Christ's work ineffective. You look at what Christ did and say... "Lord! You didn't fully save me! I have to do...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Here's the way I see it: This is not a problem. Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism answers that our sin is not the end of our Salvation and our fruitfulness is not the cause of our Salvation. How can it ignore what it answers? Man entering God's Kingdom by his own obedience reduces Christ...

    The vehicles did serve us well. From Tennessee to Huntsville Alabama! New place, new work, and very blessed. Thank you for your kind words. Always a pleasure to communicate with you.

    The move went flawlessly! What does 'dw' mean? Edit: my wife says it means "dear wife", I suppose that's correct! :)

    Yeah, I would have thought the staff would take more action when it comes to obvious non-christians lurking in the christian section, but I imagine they have their reasons for doing what they do. The thread seems to have died down now.

    You have just reminded me that the windshield is cracked. All of that cold weather started putting pressure on a chip in the windshield. I am working on getting it replaced. Other than that the Trooper is running great! Thank you for asking. I just thought the picture fits good on the forum...

    Calling God a creator is limiting God and time is an illusion

    This means the following term is not completely accurate: - God is Creator. Some professing Christians call this good.

    Calling God a creator is limiting God and time is an illusion

    You are obviously twisting extreme unbiblical content into something tolerable you can defend. - "There are two main things I wanted to bring up which undermine the Bible. The first one is the very word 'God' and whatever definitions are associated with it (love, creator)" This is not merely a...
