(DONNIE;49998) I really don't think my salvation is at risk if i don't interpret a passage the same way you do. God only gives good gifts to his children and suffering the wrath of tribulation does not sound like a good gift. To say we will endure that wrath says that Jesus didn't pay for it all...

(thesuperjag;49460) Don't ever claim men's words as Christ's word or the rest of the Word of God. No Pre-Tribulation Rapture existed in the Word of God, nor a Mid-Tribulation Rapture. As I can prove it by scriptures.John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have...

(goldy;49985) Easy there big guy....All I'm doing is asking a question. I want to know how we are justified in God's grace. As far as being saved by grace, I agree with you 100%. If Christ didn't die on that cross, there's nothing I could do to get to Heaven. I think we definitely have...

(goldy;49983) So, how is God's grace manifested in your life? Answering this would be pointless. You would be testing me rather than God's Word. Besides, I could make stuff up... you don't know.Lets stick to God's Word. By His Word, we are saved by His work alone... otherwise, Christ has died...

(thesuperjag;49892) We are not saved by works. only grace. This chapter of James (James 2) has nothing to do with salvational issue. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 11:6) I'm glad we can agree on this most important thing. It is by grace!Read this over and over... it's meaty!Romans 4:14-2414For if...

(goldy;49884) Christ's death on the cross opened the door for us to get into Heaven. But His death on the cross didn't just pick us up and give us an automatic ticket to Heaven. C'mon!! On the contrary... that's exactly what He gave us.Galatians 3:1-3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched...

(goldy;49877) So if a man gets saved (accepts Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior), but in a moment of weakness commits adultery for example, does he need to repent for that? If I understand what you are saying, that person is still saved and assured of Heaven and doesn't even need to repent...

(thesuperjag;49875) we are saved by the grace of God. By grace, not of works. (Ephesians 2:8-9) ...Isn't that what I just said?

(goldy;49871) Let me ask you this: Do you believe in the doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved? In other words, after you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, do you believe there is nothing that you could do to lose your salvation? Yes, I agree with what the apostles and...

(goldy;49866) As a Catholic Christian, I (we) believe that I'm saved by Christ's death on the cross......I think most Christians would agree with this. We believe in a faith AND works theology. If you read James chapter 2, you will see this quite a lot. We aren't saved by faith alone....we...

(thisistheendtimes;49789) Smoking is more of a nervous habit (of sorts) like drumming your fingers on a table or chewing gum. Of course we should care about what is written in scripture, but do you care about WHAT GOD SAYS to YOU in YOUR LIFE? (Don't love the bible, LOVE GOD). The bible did not...

(eternalarcadia;49790) This verse seems to conclude that we cannot love anything of this world!!1 John 2:15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.I still don't see how we can have hobbies after reading that...

Philippians 3:8-9 [KJV]Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is...

(Jon-Marc;40393) Being forgiven is so simple that many stumble over its simplicity. Is Jesus a liar? He told the man "Today thou shalt be with me in paradise." There was no "heaven" for saints in God to go to at that time. There was Paradise and hell--separated by whatever kept them apart. Jesus...

(TallMan;40224) Was the one that said "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom" saved?I ask because I've met many who say they are saved because of these few verses. Yes... what else would it take to get into heaven? Works? If so, how much works? A weeks worth? Perhaps a month? A...

(eternalarcadia;49720) It is our duty to repent of worldly things and keep our focus on God and do things that please Him.This to me implies and pretty much says that we as Christians cant have any hobbies or interests because then we are worshiping the creation rather than the creator..Soo...

(Alistein;49708) That's nonsense the creation week was 6 days and not 6000 years all this 6000 years does is to undermine God as if He were not powerful enough to do it in 6days. What's more the bible does not support this notion this was descussed in another thread. also the Hebrew word for...

(For Life;49578) I would never be comfortable denying Gods word. It's your word that I'm not so sure about. You seem to have read a lot between the lines of the bible that isn't necessarily there. I'm very far from being a bible expert but I can read. You obviously feel very strongly about...

(Kimshi42;30891) Thoughts? Wasn't Onan killed by God for "spilling his seed?" He wasn't masturbating, but onanism is taken to mean masturbation. Why, I don't know. I guess because it is a type of spilling the seed also. But women don't "spill their seed" when doing this. So...? I do not believe...

(Lunar;49583) He probably thinks he has good reasons but is mistaken, much like theists.Or maybe he isn't smart but has just examined in this one issue in particular depth and come to good reasons in spite of his intellect.There are a lot of things you could say here; none of them seem unique to...
