Is one forgiven and saved if they refuse to come under Christ's authority which bring them into relationship with Him?

Men wrote the Scriptures as the Holy Spirit (GOD), gave them utterance. So, you can view the Scriptures as direct from the heart of God, to YOU. Depends doesn't it? There are many false Christs. Many that come in His Name. The Bible was not created by Martin Luther, SIM. And I cannot find any...

When the Centrality of Christ in the midst of the Church is abandoned and in place of Him, men are exalted and followed, then the Holy Spirit moves on, looking for those who will in turn look to Christ and gather around Him and not men. That is why He is calling for those that have ears to...

Don't you see the conflict in what you are communicating to people? Maybe you believe it correctly, but you are not communicating it correctly. Out of one side of your mouth, you say men are predetermined for destruction. They have no choice. Out of the other side of your mouth, you say they...

Do you agree that one cannot receive forgiveness from the Lord without receiving the Lord, also? In other words, they are not separate things. He is FORGIVENESS. To be clearer, to receive forgiveness and just go on our way is not what the NT teaches. Do you agree with that? Being born-again, is...

Can you give us some example of not understanding a truth or being unaware of it, how the blessings are still possessed, yet unknown to us? Jesus said, "Ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall set you free". Are you then saying that you were never given revelation by God that brought...

If someone is backslidden and repeatedly falls under the control of the powers of darkness, and just always seems to be weak and easily led astray, do you just cast him off as not part of the "Elect"? God hates sin but loves the sinner. Jesus Christ and the Apostles demonstrate that. When men...

The Character of God does not change and His character, particularly righteousness is reflected in the 10 commandments. The character of Jesus Christ (the express of image of God), is to be formed in us by willingly coming under His authority. Under His authority, the character of Christ is...

UNITED STATES The New York Times As 115 cardinals prepare to elect the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Times reporters covering the papal transition answered readers’ questions on the conclave process, the future of the church and the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI. ... Q: How likely...

SIM!! Some broke their vows? The Priest in a Catholic stands in the "place of Christ", according to your own teachings. Your same church has hidden and moved around these criminals by Bishops, some of who are now Cardinals. As far as I and many others Christian and non-Christian and many...

yes, "us" does mean that. Thank you for agreeing that the "grace of God has appeared to all men". Yes, we must endure till the end. I don't agree with one time salvation tickets.

Rex, we're on the same wavelength, today. I was just going to say that. Aspen, all churches that are not of Christ are stillborn, Babylon. "Come out, Come out of her, my people".

I love that verse. One of my favorites.

SIM, when you compare many denominations today with the early church there is a wide disparity, that is true. The Roman Catholic Church has one of the widest disparities on par if not exceeding Mormonism and Jehovah Witnesses and other Christian cults. dragonfly did a good job of describing it...

Applying scripture is an individual thing, that is for sure. Jesus does not have relationships with religious organizations, only the members of His Body, the Church. Religious organizations such as yours and many Protestant organizations are guilty of twisty the word beyond recognition...

It really has nothing to do with how much is read, does it Aspen? We are to "Be doers and not just hearers only, deceiving ourselves."

Why Aspen? Augustinianism is very close to Calvinism. And Calvin was very close to Catholicism. Calvin loved Augustine. He went to the same school a few years later, that Ignatius Loyola (Jesuit founder) went to. C'mon...are you guys pulling our leg? Are you sure you did not plant Calvin in the...

Quite frankly, I find the notion of transubstantiation unbelievable and the notion of a practicing pedophile priest still able to minister sacraments and the belief that God would still agree to turn wine into blood, through the pedophile, outrageously arrogant. Is God now become an accomplice...

You don't know anything about Christians in America suffering for Christ. You think suffering is only martyrdom? SIM, you really are an empty robe. I notice you always quote Catholicism but no scriptures. Yes, I realize the Bible treads on Catholic's nerves. Psa_50:5 Gather my saints together...

Was the flood immoral? Was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, immoral? You are implying God operates on the basis of morality. Was it moral to kill His Son? Is it moral for Him to allow all the tragedies on earth? God is who He is and does what He does because He is God. You cannot...
