Hey, Demas walked and talked with Paul. What did he do? He split and left Paul high and dry; 2 Tim4. What did Hymanaeus and Philetus do? Taught that the resurrection had already taken place and upset the faith of some. They knew Paul too..2 Tim 2. So what does walking and talking with apostles...

Can you provide a verse where Jesus 'earned' infinite grace on the cross? How does one 'earn' grace in the first place? Since by definition grace is unmerited. I've never said that confession doesn't mean Christ's sacrifice wasn't enough. But penance and purgatory does. Your own ccc 1459 and...

Read the entire post. Seems you missed something.

Free will to do what? You not being specific.

Its apparent you still haven't read Romans 9 because none of what youre saying applies here. If neither had even been born, before they had done anything good or bad...Read the rest. It has nothing to do with choosing God or 'avoidance', but 'Gods purpose according to His choice..'

Doesn't Paul say Jacob I loved, Esau I hated? Also found in Mal 1:2-3. Yet if you read Romans 9 you'll see there is no injustice with God. From your human perspective maybe, but not from God's.

I implied nothing. I simply directed you to Romans 9-11. You can draw you own conclusions.

Who said anything about defective? Does He or doesn't He have the right to make whatever He wants for whatever purpose He wants?

Free will in what capacity?

Read Romans 9-11. Doesn't the potter have the right to do what he wants with the clay?

You'll have to be more specific.

Fear of what? Going to hell? Definitely.

Born again, 2 Cor 5:17, received eternal life, sealed in the Holy Spirit Eph 1. I can go on if you like.

You need to read the whole chapter and not quote a snippet of it. The chapter is about Jesus sending out the 12. The repeated 'do not fear...' should tell you something. His words are words of comfort for those He is sending out. Its about persecution. You need to dig a bit deeper.

I'm saved, present tense. No one is saved, unsaved, saved, unsaved.

You basically echoed what she said but added to it. Reverential fear, not punitive fear. And where are believers ever told they can be cast into hell? You still read too much into the op that isn't there. She said nothing about not repenting and so forth.

I don't recall any of those words in the op. Can you show us where she even hinted that we don't have to repent or take communion? Shes said nothing of the kind. All shes done is explain that we don't work for our salvation. Do you take issue with that?

I answered your op. You remember your op right?

I usually go to the parable of the sower. There are four types of soil but only one produced anything that was planted deep in good soil and bore fruit. The first three were superficial. We see that a lot. They are there then fall away when 'it didn't work'. And off to the next religion. I'd say...

I'm sure it was initially a counter to the other side that thinks we can lose our salvation. Unfortunately its become a target for some to label people that hold to it as antinomian...without the law or lawless. Which is why i prefer eternal security of the believer or perseverance of the...
