    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    To conceive is to get pregnant. Lk 1:31. What did the Spirit say to Mary...you will conceive in your womb. In sin my mother conceived (got pregnant or planned to) me. To be brought forth in iniquity? Can this mean he was.... Born into a sinful world? Born into a sinful union? The pregnancy...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    So Adam had free will untainted and still sinned. But now we don’t have free will but still sin? That makes ZERO sense. The truth is we both have free will and we both choose to follow after the desires of the flesh and that becomes sin. Good is not perfect? What about “very good”. That’s...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    David said he was CONCEIVED not BORN in iniquity. Can that mean that he was..... Conceived in a sinful world? Or That he was conceived in a sinful way? I could explain that further but don’t want to take the time. Are either of these possible? I know you won’t answer and if you do it will not...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    they were good and still sinned. WHY DID THEY SIN? Will you answer that? Yes they knew they had done wrong. The question is......Why did they do wrong in the first place if they were perfect and very good? wait a minute? Did God just say.... IF you DO well? Does this mean we are...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    Calvinism deals with the whole human race. That would include the first humans. Adam and Eve were the first human beings. They breathed like we do. They had natural God given desires like we do. They were tempted like we are. They had the ability to choose like we do. And they chose to...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    I’m glad I could help provide you an example. If I didn’t hurt your feelings, then why the hostility? What should I have done? If you think I am being lead astray then I would hope you would be kind enough to show that to me. Not with opinion but through the word of truth. Is that not what...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    You don’t like me because I showed, through the Bible, how your “conversion experience” is no where to be found and is “unbiblical”. It hurt your feelings. The truth is....I am the best friend you have on this board because I was willing to tell you the truth. What was I supposed to do...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    But yet they still sinned. How is that possible without the “shame of original sin”. You mean a pure person can actually CHOOSE to be disobedient? NO WAY You are not getting away with dodging the question.. Adam and Eve were pure. You just said so above. They sinned! Why? According to...

    Who is a “Christian”?

    How does the Bible describe those whom he calls Christian. Let’s study acts 11. In vs 26 we see that the Disciples were first called Christians here in Antioch. So, let’s back up a few verses and see just who these people were. Because, in order for us to be what they are, we would have to be...

    Who is a “Christian”?

    We will start out with....Who is NOT a Christian 1 nice, loving, charitable Just because somebody is nice and friendly, very loving, gives to others, does not make them a Christian. I know plenty of very fine people who really have no flaws but they do not believe in Jesus. They might believe...

    Who is a “Christian”?

    Who is a Christian This is meant to be a Bible study thread on who the Bible calls a Christian, but I put it under debate because I don’t mind people asking questions. I won’t hide in some other forum. I don’t care whether people claim to be a Christian or not. All I want to do is examine...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    Of course I read it. The obvious answer is.....THE BIBLE gets to define who is or is not a Christian. You ask a bible question but then say...”I don’t want a bible answer I want opinion.” That’s the problem! You are asking a biblical question but want an unbiblical answer. You rejected...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    How would you know? You haven’t heard it. And what would you base this on? What do you mean.... follow his example in their daily life? Are you talking about just being a good and loving person? How does a person “follow HIS example”? According to your understanding.

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    I say this with all kindness.... I am not being mean, but nobody on this board (except one) knows what the Bible says about who is and is not a Christian. The Bible only mentions the word three times but there is sooo much info to be learned in those three instances where the Bible talks about...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    What does this mean? What makes something biblical? Does an approved, apostolic example make something “biblical”? Does it have to be a direct command for something to be “biblical”? I could give a beautiful “biblical” answer to your “Christian” OP but I don’t think you would accept it.

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    What about Adam and Eve? According to your understanding and logic.....Adam and Eve were NEVER in a saved state with God. Why? Because, as you said, they were disobedient. Walking or living in disobedience is therefore proving God created two individuals who were in an unsaved state. But...

    The Importance of Acts 3:19-20

    In chapter 3 Peter is preaching the same message as in chapter 2. So, to get a full understanding of what Peter is actually saying you need to first study acts 2. Let’s compare.. Acts 2..............................................................acts 3 Preached suffered, killed, was...

    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    Not a one of the verses you sited say anything about WHEN or at what point our sins are actually removed. 2 Cor 5:21 says NOTHING of when our sins are removed. It says that through him we are made righteousness. Where? IN HIM. How do we get “in him”? Rom 6:3, gal 3:26,27. Oh yea, I forgot...

    Don’t talk about atpollard that way. You are being rude.
