I use the KJV, mainly, but don't mind looking into other versions. Ultimately I like seeing if it matches up with the Greek/Hebrew. I don't believe we must be made holy 'again'. But we can never look back and say 'there, done'. It says 'you shall love the Lord your God'. If we read that, when...

I also think these things end up being very grey... Democracy is used for evil. The original intent? Not sure. I would say this, democracy is NOT the way of God, neither is communism, or whatever other ism you can think of. God's way is higher. Man because of his lusts will use things for evil...

We can all agree that Nazism was evil, and the propagating of it evil, and yet not EVERY German agreed with it. Who are we to judge a whole nation?

The reason might be the version, I was looking in the KJV Hebrews 2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being...

Notice I put ' ' in front and behind 'bible believing' which was exactly the point. That is exactly the contradiction; so many claim to 'believe the bible' when they actually explain it away.

FHII... My point is that you are taking one side, the side that says 'has', the side that says, we were saved, and build everything around it. Yes, we were saved out of Egypt, but that far from guarantees entering the promised land. 'being sanctified' actually is from Hebrews. Maybe it says...

As I said, Jiggyfly, even the destruction of the wicked is part of God's mercy. But to separate the goodness of God from his severity, and take only the goodness is not wise. The Bible is full of verses whuch tell us the wicked will indeed be destroyed, and the unfaithful servant cast out. God...

If God gives us Genesis as his word, meaning that this is the way he desires it to be, this is his plan... Was he somehow forced to do it differently so that it would work, because the outline of Genesis cannot be done by God? To me the problem is that people don't believe God can do the...

If one where to twist scripture to for his own ends, as is so often done, he is also opposing Christ. And if one opposes the work of the cross, he is also opposing Christ. The Talmud, of what I know, is indeed very wrong, and what it propagates are evil traditions of men... But we shouldn't (1)...

It is by being nearer and nearer to him that we are transformed into his image! :)

Love never comes to an end! God is love, and has love for all... And he will be merciful to all. BUT that does not mean salvation to all. By mercy, he destroys the wicked, and by mercy, he gives the righteous an abode on the earth. The saints have attained to glory, and so they receive this...

James 1:21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls (This is said to brothers) 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to...

You can take one verse and ignore the rest if you want to... But it's not recommended! ;) To he who overcomes... Those who are BEING sanctified (Hebrews)... Make your calling and election sure... Not as though I had already attained, but I press on... WHEN he has endured the fiery trial, he...

Amen! He who is faithful in little things is faithful in great things!

It means we must produce fruit with the grace given us. 7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose...

Episkopos lays it out well. Reconciliation and sanctification are both part of the process of salvation. Unless we continue to the end, we do not receive the reward. We cannot have it both ways! Lip service will not do for the Lord. We must be faithful and persevere to the end. Grace is...

Given freely to those who repent and believe... Like the talent, and we all know what that means! ;) This leaves me... uh... hmmm... without an answe! :blink: :lol: Just kidding... ;) Blessings, Helen, good to have you on this site!

Oh there's worse... Some of them defend disobedience! ;)

If we give God a small door to enter, he gives us a small portion... But if, tasting that the Lord is good, we desire it, not yet knowing that it will cost us loss, but being willing to suffer loss for it, he will then keep guiding us, giving us hints, until we understand and enter into his...

Again... You will only believe verses that give one side of things, that Christ has done his part, and given us more than enough. You will not consider nor understand the part about our having to run a race, those verses you just find a way to explain away. If one is not willing to see, he...
