    Government Shutdown

    I got on my TSPFOLIO to see what the TSP fund interest rates are for October but still no update due to the government shutdown. At least I received my monthly retirement check from the Post Office. I wonder how much longer this shutdown will last. :IDK:

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Roman Catholics (who also promote works righteousness) would certainly agree with you. You have an extremist delusion yourself which stems from self righteousness.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Amen! Acts 20:28 - Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Amen! The word for "deny" is in the aorist tense and points to the fact that Jesus is not talking about a single instance of denial in the past (as was the case with Peter, who had a weak moment and denied Jesus three times - Luke 22:34), but is referring to continuous action. In regard to 2...

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    That is what we are to strive for. Like striving to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Proverbs 30:12 - There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes yet is not washed from its filthiness. This verse illustrates the deception of self-righteousness which blinds people to their need for cleansing, as we also see in 1 John 1:8-10. Matthew 5:20 - For I say to you, that unless...

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Your on the surface/at face value interpretation misses the mark. See post #171. The Greek clarifies the text.

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Further eisegesis on your part. Shall we continue in sin? (επιμενωμεν τη αμαρτιαι?). Present active deliberative subjunctive of επιμενω, old verb to tarry as in Ephesus (1 Corinthians 16:8) with locative case. The practice of sin as a habit (present tense) is here raised...

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Those who believe they live a sinless, without falt or defect, flawless, absolute, perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    OSAS only becomes heresy when one attaches a license for immorality to it, just like NOSAS becomes heresy when one attaches salvation by works to it. I actually prefer the terms "eternal security of the believer" or "preservation of the saints" over OSAS because of the negative connotations that...

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Ecclesiastes 7:20 - Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. Romans 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Except for Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22)

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    You have a warped view of what genuine believers in the OSAS camp actually believe. Neither myself nor any Christians that I know who are in the OSAS camp believe your slanderous remarks above. You don't seem to care if people hold to heretical beliefs such as salvation by works, sinless...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    The ecumincal movement is total bad news and we shall have no part in its cup. That movement sounds like one big compromise to me.

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    The article says JD Vance would 'love' Jimmy Kimmel to apologize to Erika Kirk after return from recent suspension. My point was, don't hold your breath waiting for an apology. In other words, it's not going to happen. I clearly understand what the gospel is (1 Corinthians 15:3,4) and I also...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    Catholics are NOSAS like you. Does that mean they accept the whole council of God? I never said that Catholics are all Christians and don't forget that prior to my conversion, I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic church. I actually came to get saved "in spite" of what the Roman Catholic...

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Sin is missing the mark which is failing to reach God's standard and ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Sin comes from the Greek word "harmartia" used in the Bible, which comes from archery. This "mark" is God's bullseye which is His intended design for humanity...

    Who appointed you as the authority on spiritual matters? You tend to judge and condemn just about everyone whether they are Christians or not! Let's leave the infallible judgment of all men's hearts up to the Lord.

    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Amen! 1 John 3:6 - Sinneth not (ουχ αμαρτανε). Linear present (linear μενων, keeps on abiding) active indicative of αμαρτανω, "does not keep on sinning." For μενω (abide) see 1 John 2:6; John 15:4-10. Whosoever sinneth (ο αμαρτανων). Present (linear) active articular participle like μενων...
