Here you go, the "ONE SCRIPTURE" taken out of context and not understood correctly that the LIFE which Jesus gives us is ETERNAL: [Mat 19:16, 29 NASB20] 16 And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain eternal life?" ... 29 "And everyone who has...

What is the kingdom of God? A kingdom is both the territory (land) ruled by a King and anyone/where that the King exerts influence (like a Foreign Embassy or the person of a Diplomat). Thus the call for us to enter the "Kingdom of God" extends beyond merely a pledge to dwell in the land...

Are you FREE to sin? These discussions always revolve around the definitions of terms ... which people typically do not (or cannot) define. Paul at one point talks about people being "slaves to sin" or "slaves to righteousness". In THAT SENSE, there is no freedom. James talks about sin...

Wheat and Tares only look alike for a while. Soon enough you can tell the difference. I am Particular Baptist (Doctrines of Grace) Preservation of the Saints community and don’t believe in “Reprobate Christians” as a real thing … but we believe Jesus will raise all that the Father has given...

Since I quoted Paul in Romans, you will need to speak with God and advise Him that the Holy Spirit needs to issue errata for Romans 10:9-10 to correct His omission. ;)

I 100% agree. The WHEAT and the TARES may look alike for a season and may be growing side by side in the church (building), but a Tare is not Wheat and a Wheat is not a Tare. Each has a different ULTIMATE DESTINY. OSAS [Preservation of the Saints] means that Philippians 2:13 is true and "God...

In one of the OSAS/ not-OSAS threads, it was suggested that REAL CHRISTIANS (TM) talk about actually being saved, rather than pointlessly arguing over OSAS. That sounded like a not half bad idea. The TITLE of the TOPIC comes from a story in Acts 16 ... Now about midnight Paul and Silas were...

"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation." - [Romans 10:9-10 CSB] The minimum criteria for...

"My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the...

The best CO2 removal, O2 generation and surplus Carbon sequestering system ever discovered ... ... and the Forest Biome is beautiful to look at, too. So let's just all PLANT A TREE! :cool:

For the sake of discussion, let us assume that both YOU and I are saved [definition: our sins are forgiven and if we died at this moment we would spend eternity with Jesus] at THIS PRESENT MOMENT (our salvation is secure for the next 30 seconds). For our continued salvation over the next 168...

Except your "whole council" amounts to "NO, CARS DO NOT NEED GASOLINE!" [No, God does not keep His promises. No, the Holy Spirit does not guarantee God's possession. No, Jesus will not raise ALL that the Father has given Him.]

No, the Holy Spirit does not lie. I like complete paragraphs for context: The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches [him.] Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own...

Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS). "Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me: that I should lose none of those he...

They were not analogies. They were two verses that used the exact same word (”til/until” in English and “ἕως” in Greek) that were comparing the meaning of the WORD (until/ἕως) to demonstrate that conclusions were being drawn from the word that could not be supported by the actual passage as...

I was just explaining the point that the other poster was making in the statement you wanted an example of. I haven’t felt good about a U.S. President since Ronald Regan‘s first term. (So I generally avoid the political discussions.) [“Why Hitler killed the Jews” is a topic that could use some...

The Trump economy grew from the Policy decisions of Obama, and the Biden success against COVID grew from the vaccine developed under Trump. And so on, and so on …

:no reply: Non sequitur. Everybody in the story of Lazarus and the rich man died.

Can the African Orthodox Church even run for US President? They would be better than a Biden vs Trump rematch.

I agree (with the possible exception of Luke). ... well. technically, Jesus is only Half-Jewish. That whole "Son of God" thing. ;)
