Properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine is not ridiculous. Those standards confirm our salvation status. There are are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers and Jesus draws...

Are you mocking John 6:40? Do you also mock (John 3:16,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26) as well? In context, Jesus is discussing false prophets. (Matthew 7:15-23) Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Only genuine BELIEVERS...

1 John 5:13 - These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. ✝️

Matthew 7:21 - Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them...

Projection is a psychological defense mechanism that involves attributing personal feelings, desires, or traits to others. We see this a lot in politics.

Although it is our responsibility to choose to believe in Jesus Christ unto salvation and we will be held accountable for unbelief (John 3:18), saving belief/faith in Christ is not exclusively a matter of human decision. Unless the Father draws us in (John 6:44) and enables us (John 6:65) we...

Their mindset is obvious. :imp:

More despicable behavior! She has no business being a member of Congress. She needs to go back to Somalia and take AOC with her!

Despicable comments by Ilhan Omar! She is another example of THE TRUTH IS HATE SPEECH FOR THOSE WHO HATE THE TRUTH. Great rebuttal by David Wood. :gd

Yes, believing that saves continues and is not some shallow, temporary belief that has no root, produces no fruit and withers away.

Matthew 7:17 - Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

WE DISAGREE. It's as simple as that. Only a vital connection with the vine will bear fruit and abiding, continuing is a confirmation that one has this vital connection with the vine. (like the remaining 11 disciples) Those who bear no fruit and do not abide, continue demonstrate otherwise. (like...

I don't see any hypocrisy on my part, but I can see how arrogant, judgmental and rude you can be, and I can also see how you like to play the strawman card. So, you are also calling me a charlatan? Really? Straw man argument. I never said anything about either side holding more weight. I'm...

AOC is a disgrace, and democrats are the great projectionists who wrote the book on cancel culture! AOC is exploiting and abusing the race card in order to promote her agenda and criticizing a man who was just assassinated by a left-wing lunatic! Talk about no class or dignity...

The problem with that is if there is no fruit then this demonstrates there is no vital connection to the vine and no spiritual life. As AT Robertson pointed out - Two kinds of connections with Christ as the vine (the merely cosmic which bears no fruit, the spiritual and vital which bears fruit)...

In John 15:2-6, the branches that bear fruit and remain are genuine believers (like the remaining 11 disciples). The self-attached branches that bear no fruit and do not remain are not genuine believers (like Judas Iscariot). In John 15:2, Jesus mentions branches that bear no fruit and branches...

The Greek word for “abide” is "meno" which means to remain, tarry, not to depart, continue to be present. Abiding in Christ is not a special level of Christian experience that is only available to a few, elite Christians, but is the position of all genuine believers. 1 John 4:13 - By this we...
