How can we discuss that when you don't understand what i believe and aren't listening? I do not believe a person earns salvation. I believe that it's a gift from God. A person can accept or reject that gift. Their choice in no way affects the majesty of the gift, means somebody earned it, or...

From the evidence here, you aren't' remotely interested in trying to understand my view-- just informing me why you're right. You of course have that right. But it automatically negate all conversation or relationships. You don't even need me here for it!

I'll go with one example: I am not a OSAS person. I do believe that salvation is a gift from God. I'm not "earning" it-- such an absurdity is laughable actually. Salvation is a gift from God. And it indeed transforming and foundational to everything. If "Bob" chooses to decline that...

Are you interested in understanding another person's view?

Bashing is much more defined by *how* something is said, rather than what is actually bieng said. IF a person want to evangelize to another, that needs to be done with love, respect, and humility. Not "I'm right, you're wrong, I'm going to stand at you and insult/lecture you now"- that's...

Whether or not you personally believe it, it is a common view among other people (which is what I was stating). That's a fact that can't be denied. Note: obviously you can believe that this common view is incorrect. Truth isn't determined by popular vote. Nobody believes "God failed". Are...

There are plenty of people (majority of Christians) whom believe in salvation through grace, but don't believe in OSAS. Even within the OSAS camp: evidence of that change is part of the theological package. If somebody claims to be a saved Christian in your own congregation, but then either...

Again, that's a strawman argument.

The issue of Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or not is a separate one.

Helping you out here-- All Christians believe that. All Christians believe that Mary was a virigin at Jesus's conception and through His birth. The idea that Mary remained virgin throughout her entire life is pretty much a Catholic-only belief. <Fast fowarding here> Hater's going to hate...

Essentially yes. "Natural Family Planning" is what I've seen it most commonly referred to in Catholic circles. Obviously I do have my own thoughts on the matter.

Typo- I meant NFP, Natural Family Planning.

If we're talking methods that don't kill embryos (like condemns), vast majority of Christian people will say "no" to this. The few dissenting voices will be some conservative Catholics. But even those people will embrace other forms of birth control (NFP, etc). Majority of Christians are also...

Truther: your statements here are very inaccurate and offensive.

This whole thing is a straw man argument. Everyone believes that salvation is a gift of God and no one can "earn" it. Everyone also believes that if you say you are saved that you acts in life should show some evidence of that. Nobody actually believes in cheap grace (talk only), and nobody...

There is a lot of chicken & egg going on here. :) The Spirit testifies of the Truthfullness of scripture, scripture is understood through the Spirit and testifies of the Spirit.

The above is a statement of Truth. Actually not. The Spirit comes first in importance, not scripture. Totally disagree with you there.

I do know people whom do hat, literally and (much more commonly) metaphorically. As to God talking: a while ago we went over how God doesn't change. He talked to His people in the past, I do indeed believe that continues today.

I'm putting a greater emphasis on God guiding directly and not Sola Scriptura.

I'd much rather take the option: A person listens first and foremost to God. Have Him guide their understanding of scripture & what is True. All other human teachers and everything else comes in later.
