    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** The scriptures also tel us that with man it is impossible. Are you saying you disagree with scriptures even if the words were spoken by Jesus???? Matt 19:23-26----- With God All Things Are Possible (Mark 10:23-31; Luke 18:24-30) 23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** I see that you do not even know what you believe. I asked you to describe what you believed about "confession" and you could not do it. That is because IMO you reject what that word means. You have previously rejected that the words belief, faith, trust, and confidence mean the same...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** You have received what some believe and have rejected their belief system but you haven't spend very much time articulating what you believe so how about doing that. When do you confess, how many times do you confess. If you are not caught up in your confessions are you going to the hot...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** So if you don't like he words used just change them to suit your ideas. In fact the word profession is just as good as confession. I do wish you would buy a dictionary. profession = a profession of faith, Check it out!!!!!! A discussion with you is like talking to a fence post. Since...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** Gal 3:1-3 3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** Those that place their faith, belief, trust and confidence in the work of Jesus on the cross know in whom they believe, have faith in, trust in, have confidence in. Perhaps you should think of yourself when you wrote the above. But is is obvious, to me, that you will be the one crying...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** I reject your point. Our faith, belief, trust, confidence in the work of Jesus on the cross is what saves us. If you do not believe the scriptures I gave in "THE SIN OF UN-BELIEF"" then you are committing the sin of un-belief. In those scriptures God has said Jesus atoned for, paid for...

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    *** Are you so blind that you can not see the words? Faith= belief = trust = confidence all mean the same thing. Each word can be used to describe the other. From my dictionary; faith; unquestioning BELIEF, to trust, complete trust, confidence; see belief.

    Will God's Forgiveness Save Anyone?

    I addressed all of this in my OP "THE SIN OF UN-BELIEF" In Christ God has provided salvation """""""FOR ALL THAT WILL BELIEVE IT."". Note that there is a requirement. To believe it. If a person does not believe God's plan of salvation that person is not saved.

    The sin of un-belief;

    bb, in your first reply you tried to equate my belief as being universal reconciliation, universalism, and you know it is not. In the universal reconciliation, universalism, everyone will be saved. Under grace only those that put their belief, faith, trust and confidence in the work of Jesus...

    The sin of un-belief;

    *** I see that you can not say yes or no but simple want to talk all around it by bringing up other issues. That mean your answer is no. Maybe you could answer as to which of the scriptures given are wrong. They seem to be simple to understand.

    The sin of un-belief;

    In the garden God told Adam and Eve that if they ate the fruit of a certain tree they would die. Then came Satan who said they would not die but become like God. Eve’s sin was not eating the fruit of the tree; it was her believing Satan instead of God; she committed the sin of un-belief. She...

    Faith alone for salvation - is heaven full of swearing sailors and dirty jokes?

    A person can not be a child of God until that person sees the sin in his/her life. After seeing it they know that what they need is a salvation that saves them from themselves. It is foolish for most to think that after a child of God sees their sins would enjoy doing them. But the...

    The In Christ Doctrine

    My question was how is a person to know whether they are led by the spirit or just by their wanting to do a good work because someone wants them too. About 4 years ago I was in a church Sunday School that my wife wanted to go to when the class decided to take up food and household items like...

    The In Christ Doctrine

    *** This did not answer the question. All it did is dance all around it.

    The In Christ Doctrine

    When a person decides to do something involving works the question arises who showed them the works to be done??? If they chose them by their choice then how can they say they are being lead by the spirit??

    Gal 3:1-7 3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are...

    The In Christ Doctrine

    I look at the words ""in Christ"" and think of them in reference to Noah and the flood. Noah was told by God to build an Ark. It was built by human hands (Noah’s hands). The waters of God‘s wrath in the flood did not touch Noah and those with him. Noah, by his choice, obeyed God and went into...

    A personal relationship

    In a discussion with someone on a forum the following reply was made to a post that contained a statement about “a personal relationship with God.” “”I have to disagree. These 'external things', help us focus on something far more important than a 'personal relationship' (90's terminology, not...

    The Other Sheep;

    *** I see you wish to keep it up. Thank you for indicating that what I believe is a heresy. The religious RCC use to burn people for heresy. As I see it those that add the works of man to gain salvation are refusing to accept that Jesus' shed blood paid for ALL their sins of the flesh. They...
