    Jesus Christ without religion???

    Religion is defined as what people do to please the god of their imagination so that that god will except them. True Christianity is not about what man does for salvation. It is all about what Jesus (God) did for mankind. We please Jesus when we give Him all the credit and praise for His shed...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Show me where I said ""you said you never sin"". I said with the attitude that others are sinning then you must think you never sin." There is a difference but you must not be able to see it. What you just said did not acknowledge that you still sin in the flesh everyday. If leaves one with...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Yes! God has made a way for SINNERS to be saved. If He hadn't then no one would be saved because we are (present tense) all sinners in the flesh. What I find interesting is your saying that others sin thinking they can get away with it. You must think you never sin. The Jewish Pharisees...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Some people build a stawman of a child of God WANTING TO SIN. I know of no child of God who knows the helplessness of the sinful nature WANTING TO SIN. It is just the opposite. The child of God looks forward to their being removed from this sinful flesh. If your eyes are open when you read...

    The wrong gospel

    Notice that in Acts 3:21 Peter is proclaiming things made known by the prophets since the world began. In contrast, in the book of Romans, 16:25, Paul is proclaiming things kept secret since the world began. Something made known cannot be a secret and something kept secret has not been made...

    The wrong gospel

    I am only in search of the truth as shown in the scriptures and let the chips fall where they might. I am fully aware that those that have been indoctrinated in the RCC and the teaching of the Protestant Churches will not change their minds. I got a shock when I realized that in most all...

    The wrong gospel

    Let me get this straight in my mind. I say I believe in the word of God (the Bible) but when those words say the following I am supposed to just ignore it; Eph 3:8-9 8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the...

    The wrong gospel

    It is believed, by many, that the grace church was started by Peter on the day of Pentecost. But if a person looks close all that is written in Acts, spoken by Peter, is to get the Jews (Israel) to accept Jesus as their Messiah and king so that He would return and setup the kingdom that was...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Why do people teach from what was clearly written to, and for, the Jews as if it applies under grace? Can't they remember that the Jews were under the law of Moses and those under grace are not under that law?

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    I, personally do not believe in progressive salvation, nor in progressive sanctification. I have never seen or heard of a man in sinful flesh being made perfect in the flesh when that man is made a child of God by God. The teaching that says this has sent many to hell by making then feel that...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    I would like to make a comment here about faith without works is dead. James, a Jew under the law of Moses wrote this statement to the Jews (James 1:1). It sows confusion if it is applied to those under grace. Under the law of Moses if a person did not do the requirements of the law of Moses...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    If I can't post what I believe and see in the scriptures and give those scriptures to back it up just as others here do, then I have to conclude you do not wish to hear what I have to say. So be it.

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    If Jesus' shed blood does not pay for future sins of the flesh then tell us how they are paid for???

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    The New Covenant mentioned is the one that Jesus will make with the house of Israel when Jesus sets up His kingdom for the Jews when He returns. We are not under the Abrahamic covenant nor are we to be under the New Covenant to be made to the Jews. It is an assumption that the Gentiles will be...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    According to Jesus' own words He did not come but to the house of Israel. Matt 10:5-7 (NKJ) 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Rom 8:1-2 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are ""in Christ"" Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life ""in Christ"" Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (NKJ) Many read this and say that...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Apostasy started in the fist century when Paul started teaching the gospel of grace. Doctrinal confusion happened within ONE GENERATION of Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles and dispenser of the mystery. Not 100 years after his death, gross doctrinal distortion had already set in and the Church...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    To those who believe that Jesus did everything necessary for a person's salvation God has built an Ark for them to go into. I write this as comfort to these. I know that long posts are not wanted so at the dividing line between the body of this post listing supporting scriptures you can stop...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    What does this have to do with what I wrote? Doesn't the scriptures teach that Jesus' shed blood paid for the sins of the whole world? If this is true then aren't those sins paid for? To believe that they are not paid for is the sin of unbelief. I have never read that Demons were offered...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    According to the scriptures Jesus' shed blood paid for the sins of the whole world. I believe this to be true. Therefore, since all my/our sins of the flesh have been paid for by Jesus the only thing that can condemn me/us under grace is the sin of unbelief. To not believe God when He says He...
