Salvation comes from the heart through believing, no works of any kind involved. Rom. 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto...

Hello Ernest! Read this carefully from Paul and tell me if works has no part in salvation, as he said, what is left? Eph. 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." What's left? It's faith...

Yes, I am a disappointment in several ways I suppose. That's one of the more difficult things we have to deal with, putting aside the regrets and bad decisions. Paul said, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before." It's easier said than done!

No, didn't miss it. I have no response for that particular post. Hell in the Hebrew refers to the place of the dead, a graveyard. When a person dies lost the physical body goes to the grave, the spirit of that person goes to Hell. In other words, Hell is the place of the spiritual dead. Hell is...

Seriously, you have planted in my mind that I need to pay more attention to the words I use and spelling. I think that's a good thing. The last paper I wrote was in the 70's, graded paper in Bible school. I well may be the only one in my class that never used what I learned. The rest are...

What would i do without you, Steven? How long has it been that you have kept me straight on proper word use and spelling? The check is in the mail!

I've been dobed I've been daubed the bad guy on many occasions. In this case, all because you fail to confirm the UR propaganda.

Whatever you say is ok with me.

The inheritance belongs to Israel, and always has. The New Covenant was made for Israel through Christ. Paul tells us that the Gentiles have been grafted in that Covenant with Israel, and will also have an inheritance. Paul refers to Israel as the "natural branches" and the Gentiles as the...

Isaiah 45:23 "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." Sounds to me the Lord will apply some pressure.

LOL, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I suppose you lean toward the UR or I wouldn't be receiving this post. In answer to the meaning of your Scripture verses in Matt. 25:31-46, if you read the context, you will see that Christ is addressing the Gentile nations, in other words, this is...

The born-again will bow to Christ when they see Him. How could they not having trusted Him all this time. The doomed will bow the knee at the Great White Throne of Judgment, whether they want to or not!

You remind me of an Atheist trying his best to prove the Scripture incorrect, I'm serious! Salvation is not based on expectations, Steven! It's based totally on faith! What you're not understanding is the difference between justification and sanctification. We are justified by faith, and that...

Now, for your UR claim to be true, show me where that rich man got out of hell, or anyone else. You can't deny the fact that the UR teaches everyone eventually gets out of hell. Now show us where that's at in the Scripture!

You must realize the "free gift" is out of reach for man, there is no way fallen man can obtain salvation without God freely giving it. Man accepts the "free gift" by faith. Let me explain what believing/faith means. When man hears the Gospel of Christ, which is the death, burial, and...

It's a free gift in that man cannot earn it in any way, it's impossible to attain but by His Grace through your faith! Which makes the free gift something you don't deserve. Otherwise it cannot be a free gift if man could earn it himself. But we have those who insist on earning it, which...

Not a guilt trip, just wondering how a human being can think they know the end from the beginning on a level above God.

So instead of searching out a good Christ preaching Church, you choose to scorn the Church that Christ gave His life for. That's pitiful! That doesn't say much for you, Steven. In fact, it's very disappointing!

Ask the rich man "who lifted his eyes in hell, saying, I am tormented in these flames. It stands to reason the first thing he would ask is let me out of here, or when can I leave this place. But he asked that Lazarus be sent to his brothers to warn them of this place. Somehow he knew there...

Christ laid down His life for the Church, so if you have a problem with the Church, He can fix it. But He can't fix it if you don't trust Him. You have no excuse to continue on this path!
