I disagree with as much of this as I can understand.

Galatians 5:16-24 [NASB95] But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But...

There are some “Arminians” that believe Salvation cannot be lost. The Church of God and Calvery Chapel, for example, teach both Arminian free will salvation and eternal security. (That’s a LOT of Christian members between those two groups).

Yes and no. Leviticus 19:28 [NKJV] "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I [am] the LORD." The LAW is the LAW, so it does not change: (Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.")...

I have a friend in seminary that had the oldest papyrus of his favorite scripture tattooed on his forearm (he can read the koine Greek). I have an unsaved sister-in-law that had a butterfly tattooed on her ankle to remember her sister that committed suicide. Are they the same thing?

Matthew 13:18-23 [NKJV] "Therefore hear the parable of the sower: "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand [it], then the wicked [one] comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. "But he who received the seed on...

I have no idea how it happened, but someone with Welsh, Norwegian and Italian grandparents somehow ended up with a "Berean soul". ;) I was not doubting OSAS [although I would call it "Perseverance/Preservation of the Saints"], rather: any time somebody says 'THUS SAYS SCRIPTURE', I have an...

I will pray for your reading comprehension handicap. Until God heals you, I will leave you alone. :stageright:

Thank you! “If you hear my word and Believe in the One that sent me, you Already Have Eternal Life and shall NEVER come under Condemnation” John 5:24 [NASB95] "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment...

I offer a quick lesson in English Grammar: Only the words within the quotation marks are a direct (verbatim) quotation. The words outside the quotation marks are either my original words or a paraphrase or have been altered in some way from the original. In the case of Post #9, against which...

I would respond ... but I can't follow your "stream of consciousness" writing. FYI: The term is "Okie" (Okies) not "oukies" Okie: [from Merriam-Webster Dictionary] 1 (informal): a native or resident of Oklahoma 2 (informal + sometimes disparaging): a migrant agricultural worker; especially...

What verse is that ... I could not find that combination of words in any translation of any verse and wanted to read both the original and the surrounding context.

I was "respectfully disagreeing" with your view that an individual's eternal destiny depends on the will of each individual. The verses were not intended to refute your position as much as they were intended to outline with a broad brush support for my conclusion at the bottom. Breaking it...

The Disciples DID encounter Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week, as they walked down the road. They told him that this was the THIRD DAY since "these things happened" [ie. Jesus was betrayed by the leaders and crucified]. [see Luke 24]

[Genesis 3:8 NKJV] 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. [John 3:19-21 NKJV] 19 "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the...

Good point ... although you could have just opened with it. God ordered bodies not to remain hung on a tree to avoid a curse on the "land/people" rather than upon the dead. So Jewish Law demanded the bodies be removed now (since after sunset, they would have to either violate one law or...

If it were possible for people to disqualify themselves from obtaining the salvation purchased with Christ's blood, we all surely would (just as Adam and Eve so easily lost humanity's innocence). Thus if anyone is saved, it is 100% of God to both GIVE the gift [Ephesians 2:8-9] and to SUSTAIN...

Talk is cheap, rocket science is HARD.

It's Hard to Be Humble by Mac Davis Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way I can't wait to look in the mirror Cause I get better lookin' each day To know me is to love me I must be a [heck]of a man Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble But I'm doin' the best that I can I...

"These legislations are direct violations of Constitutional rights and the Nuremberg Code." I am confident that none of the legislation advocates for (or mandates) "the creation of viruses designed to kill" or their "intentional release", so applying the Nuremberg Code to requirements for...
