    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Odd how you did not supply any context here (actual real verses) that supports your opinion here, friend. Who is Paul talking to in verses 17-22? Please take notice the following points from Romans 11:17-22. Verse 17: thou (you). Verse 18: thou (you). Verse 19: Thou (You). Verse 19: (Paul...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I am actually providing context of real verses from the Bible. You are just adding your own opinion upon the text, friend. So you have not refuted the verses I put forth to you using the Bible to prove OSAS.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    1 Corinthians 9:27 says: “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” First, here are some verses that say a similar thing. Romans 8:13 “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye...

    Yes, and your statement is your own. But your thoughts are not on the same level as Scripture. I provided irrefutable proof in the Bible that your added commentary to Colossians 1:23 is non-existent within the framework of the chapter. While a person cannot be unborn, they can die, and come...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Again, lets try to stay on point. I suggested to you that believers should not speak cryptically (in the way you did) unless they are dealing scoffers of Jesus and the Bible. We are not to cast our pearls (deep truths of God that we value) before swine. They will not appreciate it but they...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    This is just getting crazier. You are now suggesting (in desperation) that Paul is talking about faith without salvation in Galatians. This line of thinking cannot be supported by a normal reading of the text. We know Paul is talking about salvation: Galatians 1:6-9 6 I marvel that ye are so...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    A moment ago you were singing the song and dance that this was not in reference to believers but unbelievers, and seeing I proved that wrong, you are now changing your tune to come up with yet another excuse that does not exist in the text. You say I am making my point for me and yet you are...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The only manner a person can think this way is if: (a) They just blindly say this without even looking at the actual chapter or unless: (b) They twisted the chapter beyond recognition. The context of Colossians 1:23 in the admonishment of continuing in the faith and to not be moved away from...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    First, you cannot fall away from something you never had. For example: Rick cannot fall away from off a cliff if he was never on the cliff. Bob cannot fall away from the faith if he never had the faith to begin with. Stephen’s old friends cannot fall away from him if he never was friends with...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Jesus can speak cryptically because Jesus is GOD. God knows all things. Nowhere does our Lord Jesus or His followers tell us to speak cryptically to others (So as to hide truth). We are told to follow Jesus, but there are limitations in our imitation of our Lord. We obviously cannot have...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Explaining The Problem of the Footnotes in Modern Translations That Cast Doubt on the Accepting Mark 16:9-20, & John 7:53 through John 8:1-11 as the Word of God. Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-John 8:1-11 include a forward footnote in certain Modern Translations and some say that it may...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Chances are a KJB Update is going to be influenced by Modernism. The KJVER Sword Study Bible is one example of this. It gives definitions for words that favors the thinking in the Modern Translation Camp.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    In regards to the parable of the building, and it's materials in 1 Corinthians 3: Paul says before the parable, "you are God's building." So we are the materials that make up the building. The work is not referring to just any kind of general actions of a believer like good fruit (any kind of...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    This is not a game where I should always be on the defensive and with you giving cryptic remarks as if you are right without explaining things properly by the Word of God. If you are on the side of the truth, your position should be defendable in a clear way for all to see. You should be...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Here is an easy refutation of OSAS. 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. The word IF is in the verse. If you confess you will be forgiven. It does not say you are forgiven of your sins and so you will confess. If you are forgiven of all future...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I see your point Johann. When a person first believes the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 being convicted of their sins by the Spirit (John 16:8-9), a person will call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation with the seeking of forgiveness of their past life of sin (Romans 10:13)...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    If you were to read my post, you would realize that my whole point was that we are not under the 613 Laws of Moses as a whole or package deal. We cannot be justified by the Law of Moses. “And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law...

    @Happy Trails The Old Covenant says this about circumcision: "And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant." (Genesis 17:14). Yet, the New Covenant says this about circumcision...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    So if you are not under the curse of disobeying God’s laws, does that meanin you are saved even if you lied, cheated, or stolen something from somebody? Is that what you are saying? Do you believe in Once Saved Always Saved? But do you keep all of them that apply to you? When looking at the...

    The Devil Tries To Place His Name in Modern Translations (Where they do not belong): A simple side by side comparison of the KJV vs Modern Translations shows us that the devil tries to place his name in the Modern Versions where they do not belong. Do you have no idea what I am talking about...
