    Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?

    Philippians 1:6 NKJV [6] being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Hebrews 12:2 NKJV [2] looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross...

    the law of faith?

    I guess you are agreeing with me, as I never legalized faith. To say faith is a principle is not legalizing it but describing it.

    the law of faith?

    Simply the new principle by which we walk. Actually it is also an old principle (see Hebrews chap 11). Our walk of faith in Rom 3 is being laid out in contrast to walking by law, i.e. attaining righteousness by the works of the law.

    Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?

    Look at the context of the 'endure to the end' statement. It involves the tribulation period. It is not referring to our salvation. Few enter in because they refuse to come by way of the Cross. Instead they attempt to come by way of their own righteousness which woefully falls short of the...

    Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?

    What's not biblical? That there are those who have been born anew? Or that those who are born again will endure to the end?

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    No one said the promises applied to unbelieving Jews. But there are promises to believing OT Jews that weren't given to the Church (made up of believing Jews and Gentiles (Eph 2:15)), hence the distinction between the Church and Israel. There were land promises to the believing OT Jews that...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    Is not Jesus eternal? Didn't Abraham see Jesus' Day? The promises given to Abraham were as 'yea and amen' as they are to us. John 8:56 NKJV [56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

    Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?

    Those who have been regenerated (new birth) have been united with Christ (His work, a work without hands) and will endure to the end.

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    Yes, certain rites and rituals of the Mosaic Covenant have been superceded by the New Covenant, but the unconditional promises of the Prophets after the manner of the Abrahamic Covenant have not been superceded. Romans 11:28-29 NKJV [28] Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    There's your problem, you have castrated 2/3 of the Bible... Romans 15:4 NKJV [4] For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV [16] All Scripture is given by inspiration of...

    Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?

    "Can We as Saved Christians Lose Our Salvation?" How can we lose salvation, when it isn't ours to begin with? Jonah 2:9 (KJV) But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of...

    What's missing in the Social Gospel/ Progressive Left's Liberal Message...

    JUDGMENT...HELL...WARNING...JESUS-ONLY WAY---CHRIST'S SOON RETURN. Instead, it is a kum-bah-ya message of 'we are all brothers and need to get along for the common good'. No Judgment to come, no warnings of the wrath to come, Jesus is only a way shower (amongst others), the Kingdom is here...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    I'm sorry, but your 'Jesuit this', 'Jesuit that' make you sound no better than a conspiracy type out of a Chick Tract. Can you tell me what is wrong with Biblical Futurism without dragging the Jesuits into the conversation? You know the very early Church were Premillennialists as well as the...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    Accusations are easy. Our God operates in the physical realm as well (think Incarnation). BTW, thanks for not answering my questions. I'll just take it you are not able. :rolleyes:

    Warning Signs your Church may be Merging with the Emergent Church

    I guess all this malarky of Contemplative Prayer, Prayer Labyrinths, Prayer beads, Incense, Rosary Beads, Shawls etc., is telling God that His Word and Spirit just aren't sufficient. Man gravitates towards smells and bells and all that glitters; all the while we are called to walk by faith in...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    That was a postponement not a rescission... (Act 1:6) When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? (Act 1:7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath...

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    So all the Millennium promises to Israel, God will not keep? Can you kindly explain where the detailed description of a future Temple Priesthood and Land fit into the promises of the Church ( Ezek 40-48)? Did God break 9 chapters of promises or was Ezekiel having false visions? Why a Temple...

    Or sort of like the Messianic Gentiles 'wanna-be' Jewish...until persecution against the Jews break out, then they go MIA.

    Hermeneutics vs. "Herd-meneutics"

    Again, it is not a matter if it's Jesuit/ Franciscan, Luther/ Calvin, Aquinas/ Augustine, the matter boils down to 'does it accord with Scripture'?

    Warning Signs your Church may be Merging with the Emergent Church

    Well, it would help your credibility if you quit assuming what others know and are like.
