Of course I believe his blood saves me. His real blood. This has no bearing on the wine having to be blood. We aren't called to be vampires.

I'm over 50, not a kiddo... And no, it doesn't. Real faith will produce works, that's not adding to faith only for salvation. No it doesn't. In fact it says the water doesn't save you, in the very verse you all mis use. No it doesn't, because you will endure only if your faith endures. It's...

Because you said: "At least you say you don't disagree with any of what I said there." I can't tell if that's sincere or sarcastic.

That makes absolutely no sense. You can't s simultaneously trust and reject Jesus. Trust is more than belief in certain facts. The kind of belief necessary includes trust, not just knowledge.

Then you believe salvation is by grace through faith, nothing added. Because that's what is clearly taught by the scripture.

" 10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity. 11 When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on? 12 The sleep of the working man is pleasant...

Swords are not skinning tools. Against a robber or lion they could be a deterrent, however. I don't think they were used to defend against the law of the land, however, even when persecution happened.

If someone trys to kill me or my family, I can not shoot them? I should just stand by? Not happening, unless I'm already dead.

Not sure what you mean by that.

That's called individual election, but you keep shying away from this term. Why?

And why would you want that? Solomon ended up leaving God because of this world's distractions.

Um.., yes I never disagreed with any of this. The sacrifice God provides is himself.

That should tell you something about how we should feel about the things of this world too! They should be of little interest to us, instead of something we demand that God does for us.

No, this is the conclusion of your theology, that God chooses some and rejects others. Why don't you want to admit the obvious? Is it too harsh when you bring into the light of day, instead of trying to hide behind vague statements like " sovereign choice."?

DID THEY PROSPER FINANCIALLY? Did they enjoy constant good health and wealth in this life? "I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again. 24 Five different...

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ... for, "Everyone who calls on the name...

Because belief in the head is not trust in the heart. The belief necessary for salvation is more than head belief. As I said, it will produce changes in one's life, but the good fruit it produces is not our salvation.

Are you trying to teach individual election? If so, quit beating around the bush and spit it out. We have already discussed that the spirit convicts all. All have the opportunity to become his. The very fact that Paul admonished them to be in the spirit means we all have the choice to accept or...

God doesn't sin. We need a sacrifice for our sins, not God. Jesus is the lamb of God who sacrificed himself for us, because he is God.

Did Paul prosper financially? Did Peter and John? God isn't about making you wealthy, his business is to make you Holy.
