I have expressed elsewhere on other threads on obedience to the Lord. That’s not really the exclusive topic of this thread. I am also not expecting you to understand this topic seeing you are JW (Jehovah’s Witness). Note: Please don’t defend your beliefs here. That is not the topic of this...

No manipulation but in your own mind. In Psalms 110:1, God the Father is telling Jesus this. So when Jesus says, “But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give” this is in reference to how Jesus is saying that God the Father made that decision. But start another thread...

Side Note on post #4 (above): There are 66 books in your normal every day average Bible. The Bible is our daily bread and helps us to continue to abide and draw closer to the Living Word (Jesus Christ).

Jesus is GOD. The Word was GOD (John 1:1). The Word was WITH God (John 1:1). The Word was made flesh (John 1:14). God was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). There are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one (1 John 5:7). In...

Why is it really important to know this? How does it affect my life as a believer if I don't get this one fact correct? Will not getting this information correct affect my loving God or my neighbor? Is knowing this truth edifying to the body of believers? If so... how? What is your endgame...

Mary said: “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” (Luke 1:47). One who is righteous and perfect does not need a Savior. Think. It is true that Jesus is holy, undefiled, and separate from sinners. Hebrews 7:26 says, “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless...

This is why I am non-denominational. Most Bible alone believing churches are for some kind of sin and still be saved type belief in some way.

Baptists tend to believe in OSAS. They are called Baptists because in the early Baptist church years, they wanted to distinguish themselves from various churches that held to infant baptism like the Catholic church. For baptist churches believe that only a conscious believer who has accepted...

OSAS is clearly a false doctrine. It means that once you are saved, you cannot become unsaved (You are: Once Saved Always Saved). So in OSAS: sin cannot separate you from God. Being unfruitful cannot separate you from God. Some preachers (like Charles Stanley) will go so far as to say that a...

You are confusing Initial Salvation with the Secondary Aspect of Salvation. For there are two aspects of salvation taught in the Bible. #1. We are first saved by God's grace through faith without works (Ephesians 2:8-9) in our INITIAL Salvation (Ephesians 2:1). #2. After we are saved by God's...

To all: OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved) ultimately leads a person to think they can sin and still be saved on some level. There are some who act like they are against OSAS (calling it a cult), and yet they also believe you can sin and still be saved, too. Generally this would be Free Will...

Nice list of verses. I agree. Even those I have talked with who appear to be for holy living in the OSAS camp turn around and double speak that they are sinners (present tense) saved by God's grace and or they admit that 1 John 1:8 is a banner flag in that they will always sin this side of...

Work out your salvation with fear and trembling in Philippians 2:12 means what it says. I am sure it can have this meaning. In the Greek: It appears it can mean to work to completion or the end your salvation with fear and trembling. Either way, we are to work in our salvation in such a way that...

I think you are going off of your own thinking or emotionalism rather than what the Scripture says. Speaking in tongues is clearly a gift according to 1 Corinthians 12. Anyways, based on my study of Scripture and by studying this topic: I believe the non-miraculous gifts are for today, and I...

"Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you;..." (Exodus 16:4). Exodus 16 is the 66th chapter in the Old Testament. The bread spoken of here is not only metaphorically and prophetically speaking ahead of Jesus Christ (the Living Word) being the bread of life...

Another interesting tidbit of information to show you the connection between the "Living Word" and the "Communicated Word" is that the words: 1. "Jesus Christ" 2. "book(s)" (i.e. both the word "book" and "books"). 3. "son of man." Each appears 196 times. The words Jesus Christ appears 196...

Any form of a communication by words is a "communicated word." According to the Bible: While the exact words, “Communicated Word” are not in the Bible, the concept or idea of the “Communicated Word” is mentioned in Scripture. The Communicated Word is either: (a) The spoken Word of God (Which...

The Symbiotic Relationship Between The Living Word, & the Communicated Word: Christ is good (John 10:11, John 10:14), and the word is good (1 Kings 2:42). Christ is the truth (John 14:6), and the word is the truth (John 17:17). Christ is called Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11), and the...

Who ultimately won the Israelite battles when the Israelites were outnumbered by the enemy? Was it the Israelites who won the battle against great odds, or was it God helping them to ultimately win that battle? Think. It’s no different today except we fight a spiritual battle and not a...

Proverbs 30:20 says: “Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.” Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for...
