Scripture clearly shows that continuing to remain in Christ is conditional on us 1) continuing to walk in the light, as He is in the light, and 2) continuing to walk after the spirit, instead of after the flesh. In the two verses below, I put in parentheses the conditional part of these...

The father said of His son when he came back in repentance: this is my son WHO WAS DEAD but now is alive AGAIN. While the prodigal was living in sin in the world, he was dead in his sins. Ephesians 2:1. He obviously didn’t die physically and resurrect - he died spiritually in his sins.

Not true at all. Jesus taught that some believe only for a while, then fall away. Jesus warned those in the church at Sardis that they were a dead church, and that most of them had defiled their white robes, which scripture says are the righteousness of saints, told them to repent, and become...

2 Peter 1 is no help to OSAS, but actually refutes it. Peter wrote that we have to make our calling and election sure, by choosing to add to our faith the things he lists, so that IF we do that, we bear fruit, and then will never fall. That’s a conditional statement and it dovetails perfectly...

What about tornadoes, nuclear weapons and blasts, and the military?

That might be simple, but it’s not biblical. Jesus said some will believe only for a while, then fall away. Paul warned that he had to subjugate and control his flesh daily, lest after preaching to others, he end up a reprobate - and warned believers to examine themselves, whether they are in...

Scripture makes clear Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world, but that His atonement is only applied to those who get saved by faith and repentance: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but ALSO for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD.

But I don’t see that anywhere. Maybe it takes a laptop to have that function.

I can’t even figure out how to post an OP. I use an iPad and google chrome browser, and I see no way to start a thread! Any suggestions?

Because it’s more fun than rubbing noses together like Eskimos?

Haeckel’s recapitulation theory was long ago discounted by secular science, he made up a. lot of his claims and misrepresented embryo pictures - yet his disproven theory still finds its way into school textbooks. Mammalian “gill slits” are folds in the region of the tiny embryo’s throat. By the...

I used to have a website source that showed the large amount of artwork, pottery, statues, etc, with very accurate depictions of dinosAurs, some of them showed men hunting them - that were done long before there were paleontologists digging up and assembling dinosaur fossils and skeletons. The...

The Bible mentions dragons - they aren’t called dinosaurs, because that term wasn’t in existence until long after scriptures were written. Leviathan is also a dinosaur. It’s not a hippo or pachyderm, because it has a tail like a tree trunk.

And Jesus also made clear that if they turn lukewarm, He spews them out of His mouth, therefore rejecting them. He also clearly taught that some believe only for a while, but then fall away. And warned those in the church of Sardis that most of them had defiled their white robes, which...

Yet Jesus says He rejects the lukewarm, and spews them out of His mouth, in Revelation. That no one can take them out of His hand doesn’t mean He can’t let them go if they stop living righteously and start living in sin again, per my post about Jesus warning the church of Sardis that most of...

God tells us that He blots out of His those who sin against Him, in the OT, and Jesus affirms names can be blotted out of the book of life: GOD: Exodus 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. JESUS: Rev 3:3 Remember therefore...

Faith is the gift God gives to everyone who hears the word of God, Romans 10:17, and then they have the freewill choice to reject Jesus, as Jesus’ OWN elect nation of Israel, that He came for, did in John 1:11 or choose to RECEIVE Him, and become a child of God, in John 1:12. Stephen made it...

I’d say it’s Calvinists that distort the scriptures to make them fit their dogma, which makes them get salvation exactly backwards. Scripture is crystal clear that faith precedes grace and salvation, yet Calvinists insist salvation precedes faith and grace Ephesians 2 makes it clear that we...

There’s no prohibition in Christianity of self defense. Jesus told the apostles it was There’s no prohibition of self defense for Christians. When Jesus was about to ascend to heaven, He told the apostles it was time to get some swords: Luk 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you...

That’s completely erroneous. It doesn’t say when already saved you will believe and confess, it says IF you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you SHALL be saved - not, you already are saved. It goes on - FOR with the heart...
