    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I am not interested in debating the Bible’s teaching on Trinity or God’s nature. All I can do is point you to the truth of the verses. If you accept them, great. If you don’t accept them… that is on you, friend. Check out my extensive list of points using Scripture starting in this post here...

    See my post #1527 involving Scripture in regards to this point.

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    It's true that He that believes in Jesus will never die. John 11:26 is true. John 11:26 “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” But this would include believing in Jesus when He says the following words, too. Matthew 7:22-23 “Many will say to me in...

    As for Ephesians 1:13-14: Many Christians love to bring up the seal of God as proof of eternal security. However… What is the condition of having the seal of God? Scripture says, God the Father has set his seal upon those who labor for the meat that endures unto everlasting life. "Labour...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Eternal life is a person named Jesus Christ and eternal life is not a super power or a magical wish granted to a person by God. According to God's Word: Jesus (the King of kings and Lord of lords) is the ONLY One who has immortality or eternal life. 1 Timothy 6:15-16 15 “…the King of kings...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Well, when you read verses like John 3:16 that says, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” you have to take this into context with the rest of chapter and the rest of the Bible. In context to the chapter: John 3:19-21 describes the “Condemnation.” John...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The fact of the matter is that there are those who said they did wonderful works in His name but the Lord said He did not know them because they worked iniquity (Matthew 7:22-23). This is in context to doing what Jesus says. For the person who does not do what Jesus says is likened unto a fool...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I agree. A person can be saved by a Modern Bible. I use Modern bibles and find them to be invaluable to updating the archaic words in the KJB. Example: Read the beginning of 1 Corinthians 9 in the KJB and then read it in the NLT. One is clearer than the other, but clarity on certain words...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I believe a person has to believe in the correct version of GOD (they cannot reject the Trinity), and they have to remain faithful to GOD in this life or they are going to miss out on the Rapture. If they miss out on the Rapture, they will have a difficult time in going through the tribulation...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    King James Only is consistent with the history of the Bible. The Critical Text bibles that departed from the KJB came later and it departed from the established faith that existed for hundreds of years. The King James Bible was the chosen Bible here in public schools before the Bible was banned...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Yes, you reject the Trinity or the Godhead as taught in Scripture. However, there are those who deny the Trinity or that Jesus is God (like you), and they are King James Only. But your position here is silly because if we were discussing this issue here in America before Westcott and Hort came...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The Bible is Scripture. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16). So if a person tells you something that is true in the Bible for you to do (like say loving your neighbor or God), then it is true and good. As a spiritual guide: Christians follow the Bible, and not their...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The two words you will not find in Romans 8:37-39 is “you” or “your sin.” In this passage it is referring to external forces and not ourselves or our own wrong choices. Jesus says certain sins can condemn us (See: Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37, Matthew 25:31-46, etcetera).

    Is the Bible your sole guide for all matters of faith and practice? Or is it your experience and or what you feel?

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    You asked how many sins did Jesus redeem when He went to the cross. You are suggesting that Jesus died for all sins. I asked this question because many falsely think that Jesus paid for all our future sins because they are still yet in the future from his perspective. But if that is the case...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    If you are to properly apply the sacrifice to your life, you need to apply 1 John 1:7 instead of just believing in the atoning sacrifice according to Romans 3:25. 1 John 1:7 says “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I think the issue is... do people want a Holy Bible (a divine book), or a holey bible (a book full of holes)? I say this because folks tend to focus a laser beam on what appears to be OSAS verses and yet they seem to twist, dodge, duck, ignore any verses that would refute OSAS. For when we...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    The thing is that there are many verses that refute OSAS. You cannot deny that there are verses that do appear to look like they refute OSAS. So what if you are wrong? I would not want to be overly confident in a belief that could make me to play games with my soul. In fact, OSAS justifies...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    So you believe in Universalism? That everyone will be saved because Jesus died for the sins of the whole world? Obviously you need the proper kind of faith to access God's grace. Faith starts off as a belief alone in being saved by His grace and mercy, but it does not remain that way. 1 John...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    What about those who seek to later be justified by the Law? Are they not fallen from grace? Galatians 5:4 “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”
