"In the Trenches"

I may be starting to understand why many people will reject any objections to Eternal Security and don't seem to care whether it's biblical or not. For many Christians doctrines like OSAS, faith alone, and rejecting works and self effort are the only source of assurance tbat they are saved and...

How kind you are. Thank you.

Hey APAK, thank you for your thoughtful replies on this topic. Let me try my question again: We may likely never agree on what counts as earning your salvation and cancelling the grace of God. My current view is that there are deeply rooted theological traditions that teach that all...

I am more comfortable sharing details of why Ive been struggling lately. My husband and I are expecting another child. We are very excited and pleased but Ive been dealing with a lot of fatigue. Emotionally, its been a struggle, as Ive had to let go of a lot of homemaking elements and strictly...

What exactly is the difference between allowing God to do the work of being slaves to righteousness vs achieving it by post conversion works of our own will? I could use clarity. I see a lot of people insisting that our role in salvation and sanctification is completely passive. As in, "don't...

"It is finished" false doctrine Article by Alan Ballou. Highlight: "I heard, “We’re resting on the finished work of Christ,” and it was spoken as if there was an actual verse that says “Do not obey Jesus, but simply rest in His finished work!” In fact, all they kept saying when questioned...

A brief video promoting Scripture over Calvinism, addressing TULIP.

Don't Misunderstand Grace This is an article from Alan Ballou. Highlight: "Once Christians realize that we are instructed to allow ourselves to become slaves of righteousness, in order to be set free from sin (Romans 6:17-18), healed (1 Peter 2:24), and have everlasting life (Romans 6:22)...

I wanted a place to gather resources like Scripture, videos, and articles supporting a practical view of righteousness. This is a righteousness consisting of abstaining from sin and helping those around us with urgent needs. Disclaimer: I reserve the right to not respond for any reason. I see...

I think I see my mistake. And no, I don't care if @Behold sees this and rips me apart again. But if anyone thinks having a staff badge means Ill tow the line of their bullying and narcissism, they can think again.. It was a mistake to show my belly to a wolf. You can apologize to a wolf...

I think Im done engaging with you for a while

Thank you

As for having more discussion, I reserve the right to post and simply move on from a topic. You have talked past a lot of people and seem to only get angry when they can articulate themselves well. This is the main reason I usually avoid your topics and posts.

@Behold I haven't done that. I always try to tag someone if I talk about them. Now people think I talk about them specifically when Im being general but that's different. I do want to say that I think it displays a lack of confidence in the truth of your viewpoints if you simply want those...

Some truth to this. I guess that is pretty stubborn of me. I wouldn't dream of it. That's the good part about forums where there are allowances for different views. When I post, you can post too.

@Behold Sorry for offering virtual cookies. I was trying to diffuse some of the tension but that likely didn't help. There are many people here with whom I Lovingly Disagree. And many I simply side step, not knowing what to do. But the Lord is not aloof. He is good to all. Im still learning...

So in essence, you can't lose your salvation...but if you believe you can, you most assuredly are not saved.

That was genuinely funny.
