Mrh, since you're so sure I broke the Ten Commandments today, please tell me which ones?

Yes, Joy, OSAS is a half truth - the first part. Why do people insist on investing the character of God with that of a brutal Muslim husband? In Islam, the wife is forced to remain with the husband, no matter how much she desires to leave, and OSAS Christians love the idea, that they may pursue...

Dude, apostates are those who once believed on Jesus for salvation but turned away from it, so thanks for agreeing with me.

Brother, in John's day when he received the vision at Patmos, what city sat on seven hills and reigned over the kings of the whole earth and what apostate Christian organization found its home there and began slaughtering an estimated 50-150 million saints for refusing to go along with the many...

Only a slave to sin would conclude that the concepts of "grace" and "love" include the idea that Satan has more power to keep us enslaved to sinful habits than Jesus has to deliver us from them.

Agreed - without Jesus obedience is impossible (Romans 8:7 KJV) but with Jesus all things are possible, and all means all, including keeping the Ten Commandments.

Jesus said He will tell those who refuse to cease from deliberate, known sin to depart from Him (Matthew 7:23 KJV). Do you believe everything He said, or just the stuff that supports your half-gospel?

ATP, what a gross misrepresentation of Scripture is your doctrine. The Bible doesn't say, "Blessed are they that do His commandments that they may get more jewels in their Crown of Life while others wear less ornamented crowns because they refused to give up "Freebase Fridays" and "Meth...

ATP, we all agree that no one is getting into heaven without loving Jesus, right? Therefore, when you read Jesus' words, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments", just keep His commandments and stop making up these ridiculous arguments like "continuing to break His commandments has nothing to do...

Untruths? Friend, before you esteem my words as such, learn the difference between "a just man falls seven times and riseth up again" and "depart from Me, ye that work iniquity". The former describes one who sometimes stumbles in His surrendered walk with Jesus and through sorrowful...

Did John say in Revelation 22:14 KJV, "Blessed is he that doeth His commandments, that his Crown of Life may sparkle with far more jewels than his neighbor who professed to love Jesus but refused to give up his sin"??? No, John said, "Blessed is he that doeth His commandments, that he may have...

No, ATP, I accept what Jesus provided for me by what He did for me on the Cross, which is both pardon for sin and power to obey. You can't be saved by accepting only the one without the other.

Jesus told the parable of the Unmerciful Servant to illustrate that a person who is forgiven by God for their sin and chooses to return to the life of sin forfeits eternal life. In the same way, we branches who are grafted into the Vine, Jesus, but choose to cut ourselves off through sin will...

No, a Christian has a "new" nature. Remember, "old things are past away, all things are made new" and if you're still clinging to the old nature, you're not yet converted and will not see the kingdom of heaven, bro.

You are wrongly dividing the Word of Truth, ATP. That passage contrasts those who claim to have no sin (and therefore no need of Jesus) with those who have been "cleansed from all unrighteousness" by Jesus. If "cleansing from all unrighteousness" means "continuing in unrighteousness", then...

A continued life of sin is the evidence that one has accepted NOTHING from Jesus.

Jesus DID keep the Sabbath day, as well as the other nine commandments - John 15:10 KJV. The accusations of the Pharisees were due to His rejection of their countless additional Sabbath prohibitions that God never gave. The Pharisees claimed "ex cathedra" (oral commandment) of Moses for...

I wouldn't use "negative" or a "burden" to define obedience to the Ten Commandments or the act of striving to stop doing that which made necessary the death of Jesus on the Cross. I see that as Paul defines it - our "reasonable service". Is it really that difficult to do ten things that God...

ATP, if "once saved always saved" is Scriptural, then why did Jesus Himself give us a parable in which the Unmerciful Servant was at first forgiven of his impossible debt (clear symbol of the "sin" debt we all have incurred), but because he chose to act like no Christian should act, he was cast...

Yes, His gifts and call are irrevocable, meaning the hand of invitation extended to us is cannot be withdrawn. However, after taking hold of His hand, you may fully withdraw yourself from His hand by setting a course for known, deliberate sin and become a withered branch on the ground that will...
