... and be OPEN to receiving this spiritual Truth ... God has never changed from His original desire to perform incredible signs, wonders, and miracles to confirm the Truth of His precious gospel, and to heal all kinds of people of all kinds of problems! However, He is not often willing to do...

Thou could NOT possibly be more correct ... Thanks for sharing! If it will help anyone ... Jesus spoke to a totally different audience than did Paul. NO one Jesus spoke to had a new nature, nor the indwelling Holy Spirit, and there were NO churches during His short time on earth. And on a...

For starters, I have been convinced that there are countless seats going around (360 degrees) God's throne ... with the closest seats reserved for the holiest of saints. Those who just barely manage to get into heaven will be seated in the very back rows, which will be miles (in our...

We has the Holy Spirit within ... for a poipose! One poipose is to reveal spiritual Truth out of the Scriptures! What? Yes, not everything in Scripture is crystal clear for everyone to read and understand. Unbelievers, for example. Think the Muslims understand what's taught in the NT? Some...

Of course, it is both ... the Holy Spirit does everything possible to KEEP believers faithful and enduring! However, their free will is honored ... it is not compromised. It is always a free-will choice to remain faithful and enduring unto eternal life ... yes, salvation is a life-long process!

Yes, this faithful enduring remnant are none other than God's elect. And no one knows who these special ones are, except the Lord Himself. E.G. the tares who are IN the kingdom of God/heaven will be separated out, taken out, and burned. No one gets raptured out HERE ... the tares get taken out...

Cannot God foist choose who will believe, and then continue on with your words of truth above? Apostasy results when people no longer believe ... or fall into disobedience, etc. But yes, IMO, true saving "belief" is to NOT fall away for any reason whatsoever.

I've come across several NT verses LATELY about God choosing who will believe. Please read those words carefully! Unbelievable ... you've blown my mind again! I'd be happy to send you an NT @ my expense.

Matthew 24:12 KJV "Because iniquity shall abound, the "agape" of many shall grow cold..." This is referring to believers. Horrible persecution will cause many believers to do many horrible things. Also, many will take the mark of the beast ... and lose their salvation because of it. Won't be fun...

Really. I've made lots of points here, but you trash most of 'em. And IMO, I make lots of points by pointing out Scripture verses. But, you trash most of these also.

Thanks, guys, for stepping up to the plate and hitting home runs! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Yes, I just don't understand why anyone would object to the notion that it is very possible for a born-again believer to lose his/her salvation ... for there are dozens of NT verses which teach this!

Lots of people come to Christian forums to complain about what they perceive to be extremely dangerous false doctrine being spewed out. I'm one of them. And the people who are guilty of insisting on deceiving others spiritually with their unscriptural doctrines are supposed to be tolerated and...

Yes, Paul certainly did NOT write to the churches in a straight-forward manner! Most American believers today do NOT have the first clue as to what Paul meant. Because he veiled his many dire warnings with copious amounts of the nice stuff: edifications, exhortations, encouragements, blessings...

Yup ... read the whole Bible ... I'll send you one.

The hard sayings of Jesus are called "hard" ... 'cause they're hard for most believers to accept. Such like your current favorite: Those who love Me will obey My commandments! Most of today's believers are taught that it's not necessary to obey Jesus' commandments ... not those in His dreams...

We is dose who are partaking of God's new covenant. Takes two to tango ... takes two to covenant too. Most believers today haven't yet figured out their part. Let's just hope they do before it's too late for them! News Flash ... all covenants are co-operative efforts. In our case, our part of...

For years, I was terrified of "the hard sayings of Jesus" ... and I ignored them. And I find many today who are also terrified of them ... and ignore them because His teachings just are not taught in their churches. IMO, most pastors today are mere "hirelings" ... and don't really care for...

The better way is ... the new covenant makes it now really possible to overcome sin. In the OT, less than 1% of "God's people" were able to please God. Have you even read Romans 6:16-23? If so, have you understood this passage? In these 8 verses, Paul WARNS these believers in Rome 3 TIMES: sin...

Seems like we have many here who ... did not count the cost of building their tower of salvation (again, as Jesus instructed). Butski, who needs to pay attention to Jesus' instructions and commands? 'Cause we're all saved by grace, right? Yup, it seems that Jesus wasted a whole bunch of words...
