    What is "OSAS"?

    I am reconciled on both 1 John 3:9 and 1 John 1:8-9. But since you respond as if the one voids the other, it would appear that you are not. Both are true. That is why I asked you which "me" you were referring to. But you have not acknowledged the truth of 1 John 3:9, and are showing a...

    Curious

    That's a bit vague. You see, if one were married to the devil...they should not welcome them back. But on the other hand, if one was just a backsliding wannabe christian looking for forgiveness, then it is a choice. The reason why I say it is a choice, is that if the bond is already broken...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Not those born of God. 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God

    What is "OSAS"?

    "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" Your question and the answer must be qualified. You have asked a question like "Where does this road go?" about a road with a fork in it. Thus, you must first answer the question, "To which do you refer, the old man or the new?" But since you are...

    What is "OSAS"?

    Sorry, my mistake: The evil of mankind, then the flood, then the tower, then confusion, then holy fire. The point I was getting at was that we are now experiencing the confusion that was foreshadowed after the tower of Babel. History repeats itself.

    A God of Hate

    Indeed, you are correct-- God is love, and His intentions are good. But the same plan that is a rescue of those who would come to love Him, includes the elimination of evil, that evil would not remain a plague forever against all are willing to come back around to the love and goodness of God.

    What is "OSAS"?

    You have asked your question of two. I asked before answering, who you were referring to. Is that so hard to understand?

    A God of Hate

    The word for "confusion" in 1 Corinthians 14:33 can be translated in different meanings, perhaps the best of which are "instability" and "disorder." See the last line below: 1Co 14:33 For G1063 God G2316 is G2076 not G3756 the author of confusion, G181 but G235 of peace, G1515 as G5613 in G1722...

    Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity

    Diversity is in fact what is supposed to be, just as Paul described: For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or...

    Why do so many of you insult fellow Christians that express a different understanding?

    Sounds like you have a good perspective on it. Interestingly, "pride, vanity, and ego" are all human traits and not godly traits. As for "different beliefs and understandings", it is important for us all to understand that "reproof", "correction", and "instruction" are not biblically against...

    Why do so many of you insult fellow Christians that express a different understanding?

    Obviously it's all in the mix. I mean Jesus commanded that we love one another, but also said "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." The good news however, is still the good news, and indeed, we ought to love even our enemies to boot. It...

    A God of Hate

    Notice also that it says "there confuse"...meaning, only here in the world. This is all good news, the end of which is that we who believe are lead "unto all truth" by the Holy Spirit. Blessings to you!

    What is "OSAS"?

    Which "you" are you referring to, the me who was before my salvation that remains in the flesh and in the world as long as God has use of me, or the new me who is born of God? I ask because it would appear that you do not fully understand that the body of flesh is one body, and the spiritual...

    A God of Hate

    The cartoon example is just that, an example. And it is an example of what God has declared from the beginning as being the nature of His creation. That declaration begins with an "image" and ends with the further clarification, saying, "He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live."...

    The Messiah

    No awareness of heaven and earth? That's quite a claim, indeed an offense against both the indigenous and God. One more nail.

    A God of Hate

    Shock and offended I'm sure. Nonetheless, I was quoting. What did you think God creating mankind as an "image" actually meant?

    CORRECT END TIMES TIME LINE

    Projection.

    What is "OSAS"?

    You plugging your ears changes nothing of what is true according to God and what is written. I didn't have to tell you, nor did I, I was quoting.

    What is "OSAS"?

    No, but as it is written, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin." In other words, by definition, one who is saved, having been born of God, "does not sin." To which many seeing some who say they are saved continuing in sin, do not understand. To make matters worse, there are those who are...
