    Again, they are in the kingdom as a living plant if they are on shallow soil; but they will not continue to be a living plant for ever and thus will not be in the kingdom for ever.

    There are those who think that they are born again who will not appear with Jesus.

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Because they were working iniquity on the side of what they were doing for God; and because they were trusting in their works to save them instead of trusting in the finished work of Christ which had the power to change them from the inside out; making them new creatures in Christ. This would...

    Biblical Salvation

    It seems to me that you are the one who is disagreeing...because what I have said is the truth. So, you are disagreeing with the truth; and if I am disagreeing with a lie....then I am in all reality agreeing with the truth.

    Biblical Salvation

    No, because Paul said that he does not allow a woman to teach or usurp authority over a man. Since it can be determined whether a person is male or female on forums such as these, it is in fact an issue. For the Bible is not any less valid on the internet than it is in a church setting where...

    Well, I never really followed him because his phone# had 666 in it... Whatever the scandal was about him I am not interested in knowing about it. To spread such information is indeed gossip, even if it is factual information.

    Biblical Salvation

    Gender is something that has an effect on how susceptible you are to deception, according to 1 Timothy 2... And for this reason Paul did not allow a woman to teach or usurp authority over a man. And therefore, even in forums, a woman attempting to correct a man will not be taken lightly...

    I suppose I am left out of the loop as to the scandal associated with Ravi Zacharias. Actually, don't tell me....I don't want to know. I would consider repeating the matter to be gossip which is a sin in the eyes of the Lord...

    Biblical Salvation

    1Ti 2:11, Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 1Ti 2:12, But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13, For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14, And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the...

    Covid is a Biblical Plague, Video causes panic

    Mat 24:23, Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. Mat 24:24, For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

    It is offensive to you. cleanseth (katharizo) is in the aorist present active indicative... and it can be translated as "continually cleanseth" Continuing to believe in Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with self-effort.

    If the logical conclusion of a premise is faulty, then you ought to consider that the premise is also faulty.

    Biblical Salvation

    It should be clear that the Bible teaches that we do not enter into grace apart from faith first being instilled in us by the Lord. Rom 5:1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace...

    Biblical Salvation

    If you are truly of the sort that can justly rest in the finished work of Christ, and do not have to worry about losing your salvation.... Then it is true of you that you will continue in His goodness to the very end (Romans 11:20-22). I don't see any conflict between these concepts at...

    Biblical Salvation

    If we do not repent of our sins we will continue to be workers of iniquity. And what does the Bible say about workers of iniquity? They will be cast into the furnace of everlasting fire (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41). Therefore, it seems logical to me that in order to avoid...

    Right (Galatians 5:19-21; Matthew 13:41-42; Matthew 7:23, Matthew 25:41; Romans 6; Ezekiel 33:19 and its context in Ezekiel 33:11-20; Luke 13:1-5; and more). Technically, yes; because it is a violation of Old Testament law (see 1 John 3:4). But I have more to say on this in the following...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    If we are abiding in Christ (1 John 3:6) we are abiding in salvation. It is clear in holy scripture (1 John 2:17) that we can abide for ever more. If anyone is willing to read Ezekiel 33:11-20, it also has a bearing on this concept.
