    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    Every single time, every single instance? Since you have been saved, there has not been a single time that you slipped for just a sec? Are you really claiming to have lived a perfect life since you have been saved? That you have never done something that you knew was wrong since you have been...

    If Jesus came from a Spiritual entity...

    But I wasn't asking about Jesus, I was asking about Heaven. Do you see Heaven as being a physical place, with physical locations, and physical dimensions? Joshua David

    If Jesus came from a Spiritual entity...

    You may not have anything against it, but you do you believe it? Do you think Jesus is right now building a physical, tangible place? Do you think we will walk on physical streets of gold? Joshua David

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    I would disagree.. Now I do believe that we are commanded to be baptized. And I agree that we all should be baptized, just as baptism is a commandment, so is keeping the Lord's Supper a commandment. But, commandment or not, Baptism is a work, a good work, a commanded work, a work that we...

    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    Ok you make a very valid point as far as who broke the seal, but I would still say that if it is possible for our seal to be broken, by willfully sinning, as some have put forth, then once that seal is broken it can not be resealed. So in your own opinion, what is the consequences of having our...

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Truth, I do see what you are trying to say, but I am having a little trouble following your premise. You claim that the New Heaven and New Earth is the Third Heaven, and yet you don't provide scripture that says this. In fact the only time that the 'Third Heaven is used in the scripture is...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    Guys, I just wanted to make something clear. I never said that being baptized is not important. I believe that everyone should be baptized. I just don't think that your salvation hinges on the fact that you got baptized in Jesus name vs the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Like I said, it is...

    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    And this is why Christians have become masters at justifying their own sin. For if Paul, the person who wrote over half of the New Testament still struggled with his sin nature, then you can bet that all of us struggle with ours as well. Rom 7:14-17 14 We know that the law is spiritual; but...

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    In this verse, is the focus on the belief, or the baptism? Joshua David

    In Jesus name or the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

    I have always see it like this... Baptism is not some pagan ritual that we are expected to follow, by arcane words or gestures. It is a public testament of your faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is your belief that just as you have joined Jesus in death, ( by...

    If Jesus came from a Spiritual entity...

    Kingdom, let me ask you a question... What do you have against a physical Heaven? A physical city, with physical streets of gold, surrounded by physical walls that have physical gates, with a physical river of life, surrounded by physical trees of life, that produce physical fruit? Do I...

    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    I agree. I think it perfectly describes the nature of the relationship.. Now I have 4 questions.. 1) Can the seal be broken and if so how? 2) What does it mean to have your seal broken? 3) If the seal is broken, can it be resealed? 4) Who owns the seal thereby having the legal authority...

    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    Aspen, what does it mean to be sealed? Joshua David

    If Eternal Security Is Conditional...

    What does it mean to be sealed? Eph 1:12-14 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit...

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Hello Truth, As promised, I will get to your reply. But there is a lot here, so it may take me a little while to get to it.. While I am working on my reply, I just wanted to make a point. I do not understand where you are coming up with the Greek better renders "first" as "former"...

    Why Woul a Loving God Create Such a Hateful Place?

    Truth, First off, let me apologize for the slow response. I usually do not get on any of the boards on the weekends, I kinda devote that time to relaxing and spending with family. But I am back, so let's get to it. But that is the thing, Satan and God are not Arch enemies, they are...

    Why Woul a Loving God Create Such a Hateful Place?

    [/size] Well, why don't you address the last part of my post, I will repost here so that there is no misunderstanding. So we don't derail this thread, why don't you start a new thread with your reply on the heavens, and this way we can try to keep this thread from spiraling out of control...

    Why Woul a Loving God Create Such a Hateful Place?

    Truth, Wow.. too much.. I am afraid that we are getting far ahead of ourselves. I think we need to pull back because I believe that in trying to answer too much at one time, things are getting lost. I have to say that you have a very good grasp on humanity's sin nature, as well as sin...

    He Answers You

    I do understand what you are saying... And yes I am see where He would have a good nugget from time to time, but dealing with sin is another part of the milk. There is more to the milk than saying a prayer and having a positive attitude. I am sorry, I know you were just trying to add some...

    Why Woul a Loving God Create Such a Hateful Place?

    Before I get started on your reply, I just wanted to comment on your comment to Amazing Grace. Do not forget this scripture 2 Tim 3:16 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, All Scripture means all scripture...
