    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Solomon said there's no new thing under the sun. Your loose liberal theology that those who refuse to confess and forsake their sin will receive eternal life was popular among ancient Israel before Jesus, the God of the OT, finally sent the sword of Babylon against them, and yet you liberals...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    The Scriptures say nothing of the kind. The Scripture says, "I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me." Does "all things" include obeying God's law? Yes, except in the mind of a liberal who loves nailing Jesus to the Cross with his deliberate, known sin. The Scripture says you are...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    While there is room for debate and speculation regarding some Biblical issues, there is absolutely no need for further discussion as to what should be done with the doctrines of the RCC that do not line up with Scripture.

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Purgatory is purely an invention of Catholic tradition, the teaching of which Jesus flatly condemns in Matthew 15. And Scaliafan's claim that Catholicism is based on the Bible is overthrown here.

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    By "anti-Catholics" you must mean "those of us who are anti-Catholic doctrine", right?

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    The truth is "you're not really sorry until you're ready to quit." The type of repentance you speak of is not repentance at all, but a perpetual state of attempting to cover one's self with God's grace regardless of whether or not we confess and forsake our sin. However, God has clearly told us...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Actually, you've misunderstood what I've been saying. The Bible is clear that there is always forgiveness for us if we slip and fall down into sin (Proverbs 24:16 KJV), but there is not one shred of forgiveness available to those who deliberately sit down in it and refuse to get up and leave...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Yet, OSAS rejects the notion that daily repentance is necessary. I believe it is and that it forms a part of the whole "abiding in the Vine" relationship. The Vine is not some horticultural Boa Constrictor that grabs us and refused to let go, as OSAS would like the case to be, but we much daily...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    You may not like me calling you friend, but do you know anyone who would let you spit in their face and still love and pray for you? I would. Jesus loves you and I for the people that we might become through His indwelling power, regardless if we still choose to reject Him, and I love those who...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Wrong. Faith without works is dead faith which can't save anybody, friend. Why do you liberals always attempt to mischaracterize the good works of a believer as an "attempt to gain heaven by his own merits", when you're told time and time again that without the grace and power of Jesus, the...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Excellent points regarding "Prophet, High Priest, and King", all of which the Papal power has robbed Christ. Knowing I was preaching what would likely be my last sermon at the largest SDA church in the New Orleans area back in 2010, I called out the "dumb, sleeping, mute dogs" among us and...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Well, thanks. I'll have to do the same, b/c I can't remember if I've ever blocked anyone.

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    We should read and accept the whole Bible, and not just the parts that appeal to us: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in Him." (1 John 2:3-4 KJV) It is the Word of God that...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    H, please allow me to interject - why this false dichotomy of "faith vs. works"? Does a loving husband "try" not to beat his wife or does he find even the thought of that disgusting beyond measure? Likewise, a converted Christian always, immediately, with utmost urgency calls on the name of God...

    Hey, Stan, I thought you blocked me?

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    Amazing how people are so stupefied. They know that there are only two references in the entire Bible regarding the "Son of Perdition" - Judas and the Antichrist. They know that Judas came into the church, kept up appearances in the church, and gave no indication that he was filled with Satan...

    Two Ways of thinking about OSAS

    Yes, but what is the "seal"? There is a Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 8:14-16 KJV which speaks of what was to seal the disciples of that hated Stumbling Block, the Stumbling Block which Romans 9:33 KJV clearly affirms was an OT Messianic reference to Jesus Christ: "Bind up the testimony; seal the...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    From "The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine" by Priest Peter Geirmann: Q. Which day is the Sabbath day? A. The seventh day is the Sabbath day. Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic church, in the Council of Laodicea...

    The Catholic Church gets put down a lot, but it was all that could help

    A classic liberal tactic is to accuse those who condemn certain destructive beliefs or behaviors of a group as hate mongers who condemn the group at large. For instance, if you point out that the number one cause of death in the afro-American minority group is "black on black" murder while...

    Calling All "Left Behind" Theology Believers (you up to the challenge?)

    I must have missed your answer to the OP question. Please point to which of your posts contain an answer so I can review it. BTW, this thread is not about Revelation, it's about 2 Thessalonians 2 - THE RESTRAINER
