Yes I love this chapter and I’m familiar with it. So what was God doing before the word was? It’s kind of a big question mark isn’t it? Because there are no examples.

For the sake of discussion, I’ll assume this is literal. So what was the glory Jesus was sharing with his Father?

If Jesus remembered what he was doing “before he came to earth” then what did Jesus say he was doing before coming to earth?

I asked if you could show me where a person named the Word is saying or doing anything in the Old Testament and I believe you admitted it doesn't exist. I can go get the quote if you like. So what you're saying isn't sola scriptura and I require sola scripture and sound reason. In other words...

Please read my replies. I will write thoughtful answers that will actually address the things you say. You keep replying by repeating the very same things that I already gave answers to by using Scripture. I suggest you review post #1886 and #2078.

What's your take on Paul's statement of conditional salvation being dependent upon continued belief? He said one can believe in vain, i.e., their loss of belief can result in no effect (no salvation). 1 Corinthians 15 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you...

Sure. You just remember the Sabbath and keep it holy... something you should be doing every day anyway. There aren't any work restrictions attached to it in the New Covenant because doing good on the Sabbath is lawful. In order words don't sin... something we should not be doing every day...

Judas was not one of the non believers Jesus was referring to, but the one who would betray him. The non-believers left Jesus, Judas didn't. John 6 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. The resurrection is the eternal life gifting event. If only people...

I am replying to this question separately because it's a different topic and yes I was on that site over a year ago, but they banned me and I am okay with that. I am not a Trinitarian and I didn't know it was against their rules to not be so when the topic came up they just banned me, a decision...

Hey look here. You can actually quote Scripture. So, let's take a look here. The Father gave Jesus the authority to give eternal life to those who He gave him. Right? John 17 2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And...

Read about him. You will find he was empowered to do miracles and preach the gospel. He was also told he would receive eternal life. Yes and amen... after the resurrection. Jesus taught eternal life was after the resurrection in Matthew 25:46, Luke 20:34-36, John 5:29. So the resurrection is a...

Since eternal life is a gift and God's gifts are irrevocable then you might want to have a chit chat with Mr. Judas Iscariot because he was both promised eternal life and was a believer, but was ultimately lost for his extreme wickedness. ...after the judgement is when Jesus taught people...

Already read the Bible. A lot. There is nothing for me to mention in the Bible about OSAS. First of all, it is never plainly stated or described. If you mean that after you have been given eternal life, something you have not been given yet, that you would be OSAS then that would be correct...

Yes that's true about what Jesus said in Matt 7:1. I think it's almost human nature to find one's clique and who they can yoke with. On the one hand, we are not supposed to judge, but then on the other hand it's almost unavoidable to pass some judgements even if only subconsciously; doesn't make...

Yes that's a good point. A good question for every Reformed theologian is if people can be saved without Calvin's teachings. I mean, they're doctrines, not Scripture. I think this is an important thing to be cognizant of because Christian denominations say a great many things and then after the...

Predictable. Now you're playing the victim when people expose what you are behind your thinly-veiled guise of self-righteousness and fake piety. It doesn't take much to see right through it, though, since you already exposed yourself by immediately suggesting I'm going to hell, sinning, and a...

Seems your element is being dramatic and manipulative. In that case, it's better to take your toys away. You can't keep derailing this thread away from the topic if no one will play with you. If you change your mind and want to actually discuss what the Bible says, I will post my first reply in...

Proving it and you listening are not the same things. I will be happy to prove it once you cease with the personal attacks. You have been relentless ever since I first addressed the OP and you immediately inferred I am going to hell. :oops: Saying "He who is without sin cast the first stone" is...

Yes all true. I know you and I disagree about some other things, but on this we agree. I see that in this thread there is a bit of sleight of hand going on. Comment #1 conflated Christianity with Reformed theology when they aren’t really the same things. And Got Questions has a heavy Calvinist...

Yes it’s me. Same person from the other forum. Nice to see you here. Yes. In OSAS and Calvinism there is not something one can do to lose their salvation or elect status even if they wanted to. In other words, they believe they’re going to heaven and there is nothing they can do about it. I’m...
