I see only spirit as being regenerated, or saved via being 're-born' or 'born from above'. I see the soul salvation as being progressively saved/lost, but only if we are totally single minded in obedience to Christ. But if we are doubly minded we will go forward and backslide. I know that's...

What does scripture say? MAT 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Lot of VAINITY in the church I left 5 months ago....and after over 30 years with 4 good pastors. 1CO 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of...

What sayeth scripture BF? ROM 11:32 For God has shut up ALL in disobedience so that He may show mercy to ALL. It appears to me that GOD unilaterally decided to force/DRAG....Uhhh DRAW? (Not IMO, ;)) ALL INTO DISOBEDIENCE......and that's why HE IS RESPONSIBLE to show mercy to that same ALL...

I agree Steven. And 400+ "Christian" denominations would all also agree. Each one saying; "Their doctrine comes from scripture". And yet those same 400 denominations all disagree doctrinally with each other. :doldrums:

Agree with the above, but taking it to another level. Inductive is 'soulish thinking' and deductive is 'spiritual thinking'. In scripture this concept is pointed out with verses which stated things like "ADD" (addition) and "DIVIDED" (division). LUK 12:25 And which of you with taking thought...

I understand what you're saying, and said the very same thing for years. But more scriptual proofs surfaced for me to deal with. Here is one. JOH 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me DRAW (Gr = helkuo) him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 1670 helkuo...

Everything you've posted so far here, makes me think you have a good heart and more importantly haven't manifested an unteachable spirit concerning a doctrine as radical as this, when it comes to the modern church. And you saying that you have never had a friend who believed that way is very...

That was a powerful testimony. Not one Fundamentalist theologian can ever take away his supernatural experience.

"Easy-to-Read Version" just might spiritually be saying 'But harder to understand'. ;) HEB 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. I understand 'TREATING THE FIRST AS OBSOLETE? Thank you...

Just as the "wood hay and stubble works" are burned up in the verse below, lead to being "anyone being" "SAVED yet, so as THROUGH FIRE." So also in the verse above is "THE EARTH" is also saved from the thorns and briars which are burned off of "the earth" in the above verse. I live in...

Brother, I am 74, and can so relate to 'our' dilemma with today's technology. My go to bible app on my phone, for 20+? years, won't update, or work the downloaded study modules anymore. And my desktop software program which I first started buying floppy disk modules for in the 80's shutdown 5+...

Just did find more of my deleted portion URL on Three brains of body...

I asked for "your opinion" definition specifically Aunty. I did so because you are obviously a thinker/learner. And though not always right, you're not always wrong either IMO. But STRONG'S is not infallible, just like the 100s of disagreeing bible translations. But it was in my own studies...

Good word and very true. JW's and Mormons both don't realize that Jesus Himself said "I will build my church." And I don't think He took a vacation or the Father. JOH 5:17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working." The problem just might be "not having 'eyes...

EXO 34:7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation." And YOUR CORRECT INTERPRETATION...

So do you believe 2Peter 3:9 which you quote? What I'm 'hearing' in reading that verse is this; it's GOD'S WILL vs YOUR WILL. And scripture isn't betting on 'your will' beating the will of GOD. And what do we need an "EVERLASTING GOSPEL" for in Revelation 14:6? I thought it only lasts until...

My opinion; EXO 34:7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation." Iniquity pertains to...

Totally agreed....until the last line. :hmhehm IMO They are NOT CHILDREN of the Most High God. JOH 1:12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become CHILDREN /teknon of God; "children" = 5043 teknon: a child (as produced) They are NOT BABES of The Most...

Your description talks about FOREKNOWLEDGE IMO. I'm not talking about a "preplanned" 'plan' , that's up to you, to 'work' for salvation. I'm talking about PREDESTINATION and not FOREKNOWLEDGE. The salvation of your spirit is 100% PREDESTINED IMO. Scripture says "appointed" or "ordained" in...
