    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Assurance of salvation comes from how you live Assurance comes from actually Believing that God will keep His Word.....like when God says in the Gospel that Jesus died for your sins , you know there can never be any reason for you to be damned....if Jesus died for your sins, what sins would...

    Sad Friday

    The Bible said it “ pleasured God” to do what had to be done to His Son... The Bible also says that Jesus endured the shame of the Cross because He knew it would bring him Joy in the end....

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    and He is the One Who keeps us. Amen to that! That is why OSAS is the True Doctrine.....we could not keep ourselves saved for three minutes! It’s ALL OF GOD! Thanks for accidentally proving my Doctrine to be correct! As God Himself said, and you point out—- “ I ( meaning God ) will FINISH the...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Most of what we call “ change” is something done to shut up the self- righteous Fruit Inspectors at the local gossip -filled Church.....I worked with a guy who “ changed” .....he gave up smoking .....at least until he could come over to my place and hide in the garage to puff away....lol....I...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    ...James is writing this to you: .....and Paul , the one Jesus said to follow ( something that Jesus never said in regard to James) is writing this to you—- “ For it is by Grace that you have been saved, through Faith, and NOT of yourselves , it is the GIFT of God, so that no one can boast....”

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    We know it by the Spirit he gave us And as Paul said....if one can say that “ Jesus is Lord” , ( and mean it, of course) , that individual “ HAS” that Spirit..... I realize that you are disappointed that Paul set the bar so low....I have to admit that I too was kinda surprised when I first...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    What you have to be to be saved is a believer. See, this argument about OSAS boils down to whether or not a believer can stop believing. But what does it matter? Either way, a person has to be a believer in order to be saved now and when Jesus comes back. I was a “ Believer who stopped...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I guess Paul lacked the ability to make his Jesus -Revealed Truths known to his audience .....How convenient it must be to take a simple statement and if you disagree with it , just say “ well, he must have meant something else”....... simply because you can’t “ read into it “ what you want it...

    The Great Commandment

    Sure it can....He May demand that you pluck out your eye if your eye causes you to lust....He May be trying to get you to “ come to the end of yourself” in regard to you trying to “clean yourself up” and mistakenly thinking that you can Earn Heaven.....He May be wanting to hear , “ Lord, I...

    The Great Commandment

    Of course , that’s the way it “ should” be....Its that “ Chastisement “ thingy that the Bible talks about....If one sins and is “ not” chastised, he’s got Big problems.....he’s probably not a Child of God...

    The Great Commandment

    There is no “ need” to sin, but if you are a human being in a body of flesh , it is unavoidable....is your “ thought life “ pure? And then there are the “ Sins of Omission” —- how many poor and hungry strangers have you invited into your home lately..... when it comes to sin, God has us “...

    The Great Commandment

    He was in anguish to the point that he even returned the money to the religious leaders....so miserable and full of remorse for what he had done he could no longer live with himself that he committed suicide.........had he turned to God for forgiveness instead of turning to a hangman’s noose, he...

    The Great Commandment

    As As I have stated many times—- “ LOVE is the ENGINE that drives anything that is of Any importance to God” It is the correct “ Engine” or Driving Force behind Obedience—- “ Love God and live as you please” .....If you truly Love God , all the “Rules” Of Christianity will take care of...
