    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    You’re not gleaning the full import of that passage: in it, Peter says we must MAKE our calling and ELECTION sure, by ADDING to our faith the FRUIT of virtue, Godliness, and love (charity), and he says that IF WE DO that, we won’t FALL, and we will have an entrance into heaven. That our...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    How is grace unconditional? Since grace comes through faith, faith is an obvious condition, and so is repentance for that matter. Grace is not irresistible either, as the 5 pointers claim. The Holy Spirit is God, and no man can call Jesus Lord save the Holy Spirit draws them, yet the Holy...

    What's the difference b/t a nice worldly person and a nice Christian?

    One has Jesus, one doesn’t.

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Prove me wrong - find one time in the entire New Testament where Mary is called the mother of God.

    The First Condition of salvation

    That was Israel under the law. Same law Paul wrote about in Ephesians 2:8-9; where he said by grace we are saved through faith...not by works (of the law of Moses)

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    You can call Jesus a heretic if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

    The First Condition of salvation

    I don’t know where you got that definition of metaneo from, but the Strongs exhaustive on my bible software, defines it as changing your mind: G3340 (Strong) μετανοέω metanoeō met-an-o-eh'-o From G3326 and G3539; to think differently or afterwards, that is, reconsider (morally to feel...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Jesus is God by nature, but His Godhood was not created in her womb - his mortal body was.and scripture still says He laid aside the glory and power of God to be born a man and humble servant, and He did all His miracles after, and by, receiving the Holy Spirit Acts 10:38. God still has no...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Jesus’ own words are heresy? Take it up with Him. Words have meaning, and He said those words, not me. Personally I doubt it includes Jesus BUT IT DOES INCLUDE MARY and your continued effort to sidetrack that fact, remains duly noted, and is still rejected. Shalom

    The First Condition of salvation

    Gods love is unconditional - but salvation has conditions: faith, repentance, receiving Jesus, then has post salvation requirements of continuing in the same faith and repentance (turning away from a sinful life) and taking up our cross daily, and following Jesus. After salvation, some lose...

    The First Condition of salvation

    Being saved is the point where regeneration has occurred by the Holy Spirit indwelling a person after they’ve come to faith and repentance, and they are spiritually reborn, their sins are forgiven, and their new destination is heaven, instead of hell. Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    The part about whether it also applies to Jesus IS IRRELEVANT to the fact that IT DOES APPLY FOR SURE TO MARY. Your effort to sidetrack the meaning of the passage and it’s definite application to Mary and every other person on earth, with the possible exception of Jesus, is duly noted, and...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Mary birthed Jesus, the man, not God. To be born as a human Jesus first emptied Himself. That’s why the Bible never once refers to Mary as anything other than THE MOTHER OF JESUS. and never the mother of God. God has no mommy - but Jesus’ body did. Php 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    If that’s what it means, fine. Jesus also said that the Father was greater than He was, in His role of a humble servant. Either way, whether it does or doesn’t include Jesus , it unequivocally means John was greater than Mary.

    The First Condition of salvation

    Which means, God deliberately killed some righteous people in Sodom? That would be the logical conclusion to your reply. Is that your intended meaning, or was there a point I missed? Shalom Aleichem

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Jesus said John the Baptist was greater than Mary - unless of course Mary wasn’t born from her mother: Mat 11:11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. So we...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Yet Jesus clearly said EVERYONE is His mother, that does the will of God. Jesus has many mothers, therefore, besides Mary. One can’t escape facts, just ignore facts.

    The great tribulation is rapidly approaching, survival depends on doing God's will Mat 7:21

    The great tribulation is the second half - the mid trib rapture takes Christians out before the mark of the beast is given. Shalom Aleichem

    Question no Protestant can answer

    Yet your church does not teach salvation according to the way Paul told your church in his letter to the Roman church that they, the apostles taught, in Romans 10:8-13. Why is that? Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of...
