    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    #3. If we are truly 100% innocent at birth, then there would have been no need for a Savior. God could have just taken our lives before we reached the age of accountability before we could sin in God's eyes. Romans 5:12 is probably the best verse in defending Original Sin. The word "for"...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    I view Original Sin as either: (a) sin or (b) the sin nature Which was passed from Adam unto His descendants. Granted, I do lean more towards a sin nature being passed down, but I believe in both possibilities (in regards to Original Sin). Anyways, in this following write up, I will...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    This is why we must be born again spiritually.

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    Original Sin (Adam’s sin or the sin nature passed down upon mankind) in the Bible: Genesis 8:21 - Then the Lord said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Do you know how detectives are able to solve crimes, my friend? They look for a pattern of evidence that points to the truth. It's no different with this topic in the fact that we look for a pattern of evidence to determine the truth. Anyone who looks at the evidence from the links I presented...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Well, we are not KJB first as if we just mindlessly pointed to the KJB and say it is the Word of God out of the blue. There was no light that shined through our window upon our King James Bible. We did not randomly throw a dart among a bunch of different translations and it landed on the KJB...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    But if you agree with this policy, and the KJB Only discussion was shut down here (like over on the other forum), then you would not be able to have the freedom of speech to discuss the KJB Only topic like we are doing here. Your voice would not be heard. Our freedom of speech is being taken...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Actually, my learning on this topic was not from men, but it was from the Anointing. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Well, making it personal is a standard tactic by those who hold to your belief. If your belief cannot be supported with Scripture make it about the individual instead. It is written, 5 "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    After looking at the list of signs of an arrogant person can you say in all honesty that this fits the description of all King James Only advocates you have run into? Or is this only describing somebody that may have been hurtful to you? There are Ruckmanites and they can be regarded as...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Grace, peace, and love to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes I think we say these kinds of words (like “arrogance”), and we don’t fully grasp their entire meaning (Which would include myself). For reading an article on arrogant people recently was eye opening to me. Signs of...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Sorry, I don’t see how that is possible. I believe you learned OSAS from those who taught you this and so that is the lens you have chosen to look at the Bible through. I am aware that some OSAS Proponents believe there are consequences to sin, but these consequences are minor (like loss of...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Works For Salvation Verses (After We are Saved By God’s Grace): “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” (James 2:24). “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:17). 10 “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    My Bible says “work out” [i.e. fully complete - AMPC Translation, make an end of - GNV Translation] your salvation with fear and trembling in Philippians 2:12. So we are to work out, fully complete, or make an end of our salvation with fear and trembling. Why all the trembling if it is not...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Calvinist Point #4 - Irresistible Grace: This point is basically saying that the grace of the god of Calvinism cannot be resisted. But you have Calvinists who doubt their experience in being saved by Calvinistic grace, and they question whether this experience was genuine because they are not...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The 5 points of Calvinism come from the canons of Dort. You take down the five points of Calvinism (TULIP) with the Bible, and it all falls down like a house of cards because that is the core of what Calvinism is about. Calvinist Point #1 - Total Depravity (or Total Inability): This point is...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I was referring to the time of the Judgment when the Lord Jesus will reveal all things. I know Jesus will not agree with OSAS and or your lack of being able to defend such a belief using the Bible. If you want to take your chances on a non-existent belief like OSAS (that justifies sin and...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Many Christians appear to be for holy living, but it is a facade. I have been talking on various different Christian forums over the past 10 years, and it’s the same ole story. Take for example, John MacArthur (A known Calvinist). He also pretends to teach holy living as a requirement for...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    All glory to the Lord for me finding that article. In Eternal Security or OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved), the talk of holiness and conforming to Christ is an illusion because they also say you can sin on occasion and yet you are still saved. This is what the twofold message of Eternal...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    In the King James Bible, James correctly says we all offend in many ways. It is the Modern Bible Versions that will say stumble in many ways (Which is false). So you are trusting a false Modern bible as your final word of authority (when we know Modern bibles have false teachings in them).
