Yes, it's possible that they're red flags to HELP God's people to stay on the narrow path. But, that would mean that God is bluffing, exaggerating, lying even. It's also possible that God is deadly serious with His warnings/threats. P.S. IMO, the #1 reason for the Word to come down here was to...

So as to not overwhelm you, I have cut the whole NT list of warnings in HALF … so, I am ONLY listing warnings written to the churches: ● Do not be a slave of sin Romans 6:16, Romans 6:23, James 1:15, 1 John 5:18 ● Do not live according to the flesh (carnally-minded) Romans 8:6, Romans...

Will you be able to finish your salvation tower? “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which...

Hey, why don't we discuss things of basically no importance? That would be exciting!

Points (A) and (B) are in Romans 8:28. I'm simply asking: Do you have to love Jesus, and be His friend, to go to heaven? There are a trillion NT verses I could show you, but you're too brainwashed for that ... so we'll just go with the above question in red. While I'm here, I might as well...

Thanks, Reggie, for your excellent post.

Your Romans 8:28-30 above is about (A) those who love God and (B) those who are called according to Hos purpose. Re: (A) ... Jesus said 4 times in John 14 ... "Those who love Me will obey My commandments." Jesus said once in John 14 ... "Those who are My friends will obey My commandments." Who...

People receive God's free and undeserved grace when born-again. But, grace is NOT guaranteed to last forever. Salvation is a cooperative effort between God and man. Many NT verses prove each of these spiritual truths: Believers stay righteous by practicing righteousness Believers stay righteous...

Many of them are obviously written to ... brothers in Christ, saints or other phrases used for born again. Sisters too! One example is 1 John, and he says to repent of your sins. Ephesians was written only to the "faithful" saints, not to the unfaithful ones. Colossians was written only to the...

Victory, please check post #39.

I'm sorry, but you are way off base! What can I do to help? Quote and explain hundreds of verses? The NT teaches us ... the grace we receive when we are born-again is NOT guaranteed to last forever! E.G. in Galatians 5, these Jewish BACs have been estranged from Christ, and have fallen from...

Nonsense ... whoever's in charge has a bias! Here's my favorite ... now go and weep! John 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Da "He" is in italics 'cause it has been inserted. There is NO "He" in...

All of the many dire warnings in the NT ... MAY be there ONLY to keep God's elect on the narrow path to salvation! But, then we have to consider if God is bluffing, exaggerating, lying even. However, IF you desire to RECONCILE the so-called eternal security NT verses ...with... all of those NT...

Then why all of the many dire warnings in the NT? Aaaaah, yes, all of dose iz for da unbelievers, right? FYI, most of the posts I am reading are way way beyond belief.

You think all of the many dire warnings are not written to those with the new birth? C'mon man, let's get with the program!

Yes, our translators take great liberties with their personal beliefs, don't they! Confessing to Him is required, not to some priest or brother/sister in the Lord, which most certainly does NOT cleanse the sin away!

Boy, you've got that right. Friends, don't minimize the great value of THANKING your Father and Jesus. .

Continual belief/faith is necessary for continual salvation/eternal life The original Greek manuscripts reveal the verb tenses … “… whoever believes [present tense: continues to believe] in Him may have [present tense: may continue to have] eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He...

IMO, those dressed in red (above) also include ... BACs who are involved in habitual (unrepentant) sin. I.E. They are no longer in a state of righteousness. I.E. They are no longer seen as being righteous by Father God. Now, this condition may (and can) be rectified through sincere repentance! .

Well, this'll sure blow your minds ... Matthew 28: 18 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that...
