A shepherd may be considered to be hostile by the wolf who is coming in to devour the sheep. David, a shepherd, killed the lion and the bear to protect his sheep. Yes, to the sheep, the shepherd is kind. But to those who are threatening the flock, they would do well to beware the shepherd...

I'm kjv-only/superior in my theology...I believe that the kjv is the inspired word of God. As such, I believe that the test is whether Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. has also applies; but if we reject the is, we are saying that the kjv isn't the word of the Lord. Scott has not confessed...

How so? I really think you have quoted the wrong reference. Jos 1:5, There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

There are some who are called to be undershepherds according to 1 Peter 5:1-4.

I don't know that it is going to be much of a change as concerns my personality. I just know that I surrendered something in particular to Him last Sunday and that it may even be my salvation. There is a strong possibility that I have been saved since 1986, when I first received the gift of...

That scripture doesn't say anything to that effect.

I do believe that the hostility that a wolf feels coming from a shepherd who is protecting his sheep from him is a virtuous thing. So, if I am mistaken about you failing the test of 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7 then I apologize. I did not intend to be hostile towards you, but towards what I know...

Romans 9:30-33 speaks of a stumbling stone that Israel stumbled over. It has to do with the fact that when a person is made righteous by God, there is a certain obedience that develops wherein he does not do anything in violation of the law (Galatians 5:22-23). Some observe this, and think...

Salvation is maintained by faith (Romans 1:17, Colossians 2:6, Galatatians 3:1-3); which produces co-operation with the Holy Spirit and a practical righteousness.

I'm more of a secure Arminianist...and I have such assurance. Notice that it says that he who does the will of God abideth for ever. It is not that God is accountable, or forcefully required to keep us; but that He chooses to keep those who have been regenerated by the Holy Ghost. For those...

I wold contend that he was a righteous man, walked with God, and obediently did all that the Lord commanded him, because of the grace of God; not in order to obtain it. Yet, Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD before he built the ark. He obeyed because of that grace. Now I see your...

Jhn 13:34, A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Jhn 13:35, By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Noah "found grace in the eyes of the LORD" before he built the ark. It takes striving to enter into salvation....once you are saved, no more striving is necessary. Heb 4:10, For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb 4:11, Let us...

It is because He is outside of time, Isaiah 57:15. You certainly have a right to disbelieve the scriptures, I am not absolving you of that right. But if you think that we have pre-existing souls, then just know that that is primarily a doctrine of Mormonism; whether you claim to be a Mormon or...

Jas 1:19, Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

That's a good question. I believe that it is the entire sanctification of the body/flesh. It would not be a renovation of the flesh but a putting to death of everything that is flesh in the Christian's life; and the resurrection of it in new form. In Romans 8:10-11 it tells us that we...

1 John 2:17 along with 1 John 3:6 teaches me that POTS (Perseverance of the Saints) is the reality rather than OSAS (Once Save Always Saved)

Hi @DoveSpirit05, John 5:24 teaches us that it is absolute truth that if we hear Jesus' word and believe on Him who sent Him, that we have passed from death into everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation. John 6:47 teaches us, also in terms of absolute truth, that if we believe on...

Like I said, I study at my own leisure; and I will say this: that I also seek to understand the word of the Lord when I do study, asking the Holy Spirit for illumination. You should do the same.

And really, you wouldn't be giving, but getting, by reading the material that I have posted and linked you to. So then, once you've gotten it, by all means pay it forward.
