    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Then Jesus was lying to his disciples who he explained to openly. You suppose that Jesus is wrong, if that is the case.

    Bible was never written to you

    No. The Bible was never written to you or me. It never addresses the United States or Australia. Some think it does and presume to desire a “Christian” country which doesn’t exist. The only “Christian” country believers belong to is the Heavenly Jerusalem, and are able to have access to the...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    There seemed to be darkness that God was surrounded by before he said let there be light and separation was what he did between the light and darkness. Could Satan have been influence by this darkness that existed seemingly around God been what tempted even himself to fall? Just curious have you...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Thank you for sharing your take, Ronald. Scary to think about. It seems you have a view that Jesus has yet to have the victory over the Devil. Jesus talks about casting him, out of this world, and the Revelation speaks about the doing away with the Devil too. God promised the defeating of the...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    So Jesus was lying about speaking about that generation? Would you like to freely just address your own point, or opinion on the matter? For me generation is a period of 40 years. Therefore what Jesus said happened within 40 years and by 70Ad had come around, judgement had came. Some may find...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That’s not what I was talking about. Everything Jesus is opening telling his disciples is true and would happen with in a generation. If you wanted to not be part of Gods wrath, it was best to one’s faith in Jesus and remove oneself from the worship of the Law. There was a given time for...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That is what is known as a biblical generation. Matthew 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

    Commandments

    Justification says “I wanted to an it was right.” That is what is being referred to. With the attitude of “what is it to you?” It’s obvious you wouldn’t desire another person to take your life or pull a gun on the street and rob you. But when it gets that point, a person is justified in their...

    Commandments

    Justification for it? Because I wanted to. What is it to you? The word commandment doesn’t bother me either. It’s either you do or don’t. Not everything in there is applicable to one’s life, in fact it involves people living under a stressful time of people killing their own brother or sister...

    Do you still have weakness?

    ”I begged the Lord three times to take this problem away from me. But the Lord said to me, “My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, then my power is made perfect in you.” So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can live in me. So I am happy when I have...

    Who do we need to please?

    Is it wrong to desire to please people, if it’s good and encouraging towards Yahavah, when going about the spirit. It’s wrong to please people and their evil desires sometimes may have to say “hey man that may not be such a great idea.” It’s good to do the right thing, by the spirit, always...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Why couldn’t they? Remember Jesus telling the council member, that he would end up seeing him coming in the clouds? That council’s member then sentenced him to death. Sometimes afterward he could have turned around and repented. Just like people who were under the plagues in their day...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Some would popularize this as “being in one’s feelings,” but hey people say Ghost are still lurking around… etc… I wouldn’t downplay your experience. All us have have had experiences from good to bad. From partaking in evil, like myself when I was a Satan worshiper. I worshipped myself over all...

    Thank you citing your input Amigo.

    Wanna overcome the world of evil you live in?

    Overcome evil with good. ”For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.“ ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Now does this we must forsake the world? Do...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Looking at myself in the mirror. I know that I am evil… thoughts of my younger self and the desire to take out my mother come to mind. You learn from your parents, and you learn from observing others… the logical explanation for evil is that God allows for it to continue to exist by merit of my...

    Different Bible Studies, and Topics (videos)

    it’s cool @Behold I don’t really care all that much bud. I thank you for just bumping the thread to the top. In the end no one is gonna care what we may decide to do between each other. Because who cares? You sometimes just get on my nerves it’s okay though. I’m sure I get in on others nerves.

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    It’s the Law that causes a person to sin more isn’t it? When the Law was around, it seemed Satan was able to accuse of people to God, like Job for example. While you remarks consider Satan to be around, how do you explain him being around when, he has had his head crushed, done away with in the...

    What was wrong with Adam and Eve knowing good and evil?

    Could say they died spiritually right when they ate by the decision to go and hide away from Yahavah. And that Sin was in the Garden, upon the act, and thus God made them better clothes than the “fig leafs” - which represents trying to cover oneself us with religion and not Christ.
