But do you believe a Christian can abide in sin and still be saved? Meaning, do you believe they can lose salvation by sin? If not, then it's not Once Saved Always Saved. But if they don't lose salvation if they sin, then they can sin and still be saved and if that is the case, then they are not...

The new birth is in line with being transformed to live righteously, though. God's grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live righteously and godly in this present world (See: Titus 2:11-12). “...let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting...

But in order for the blood of Christ to cleanse us, we have to not only believe in His blood (Romans 3:25), but we must walk in the light as He is in the light so that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin (See: 1 John 1:7). So it's not a walk in the park. Work out your salvation with...

Genesis 24:22 and Ezekiel 16:12 seems to favor ear piercings, and it does not condemn them.

This is talking about Initial Salvation. For how many times have you been quickened? (Ephesians 2:1). Just once, right? How many times do you receive a gift? For by grace you have been saved through faith it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). Gifts are normally received one time. So this...

I am talking about tattoos and blood letting. In the Bible this was done as a part of the power of darkness or pagan gods (Satanism). See post #380. For me, I would not want to do anything that paralleled or mimicked Satanism or the pagan practices of old that God had forbidden (i.e. Satanism).

Again, they are TWICE dead. They can only be twice dead because... #1. They were dead spiritually the 1st time before coming to Jesus. #2. They died spiritually a 2nd time by later turning God's grace into a license for immorality. In short, they ended up later believing they can sin and...

The morbid practice of cutting oneself and blood-letting has a long and dark history in the demonic pages of satanism, demonism and the occult. Under the definition of "Satanism", the highly-acclaimed, Encyclopedia of American Religions, lists among the activities performed by Satanists is...

No. We are not talking about blood shed to save life or for medical reasons. I am saying that tattoos originated in making blood covenants with their false pagan gods. Today, people tattoo their false idols of their gods on their arms. They are putting graffiti on the temple of God. Pagan...

Well, you believe in OSAS. This implies that you don't lose salvation when you sin. So this means a believer can to a degree sin and still be saved thereby making them ungodly and whereby they would be turning the grace of God into lasciviousness. You also appeared to suggest that Paul is...

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. 1 Timothy 6:15-16 15 “…the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath...

Stepping out for dinner. Maybe be back later (Lord willing).

A believer can be born again and die spiritually. The Bible alludes to this fact. “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice...

A person can say that about sexual immorality. But we know that is condemned. Tattoos are also condemned in the Old Covenant and it was a show of the worship of their pagan gods. Not sure of how God would just suddenly approve of that just because we are under the New Covenant. Tattoos still...

Again, you have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling to be qualified for Philippians 1:6. Also, we have to fight the good fight and lay hold on eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12).

One can say the same about Universal Salvation. You believe salvation is conditional when first coming to the Lord? Or do you believe in Calvinism?

Read Philippians 2:12.

Jesus says that various sins defile a man. Matthew 15:18-20 “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the...

You can mock all you like, but this is a belief in the Bible (of which you are mocking). What am I talking about? Well, babies have the free gift of salvation (from Jesus Christ) automatically because if a baby dies, they are saved by Christ’s sacrifice. For the baby has not done any wrong to...

It's not me. It's the Bible. Read Romans 8:13. “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” (Romans 8:13). Living after the flesh is in reference to sin here. “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which...
