I'm not sure what relevance this has to the issues at hand... People who have been created by the Lord, have been given free will even to the point that they can make the insanest of choices...when faced with eternal fire, many choose to even go to that fire for some strange reason.

There is everlasting punishment awaiting those who reject forgiveness/salvation in Jesus Christ; described as being cast into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46.

You would have to begin to forsake salvation by works and put your faith in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation (Galatians 3:14) The moment you switched over to salvation by works and stopped relying on the grace of God, the Holy Spirit very likely left you. Actually, God knew that you...

I believe that the reason why certain people cannot understand the kjv is the principle of 1 Corinthians 2:14. They read it and think with their natural minds and therefore it comes across as foolishness to them and they cannot receive it and they do not understand it. They need the Holy...

I am referring to sowing and reaping as planting a scripture in someone's heart...as when I share with an unbeliever a scripture that I know will not return void in that person's heart. That person did not sow the scripture into their own heart; an evangelist sowed it into their heart. Now we...

However, you are forgetting that it is mere common sense that the sower sows the word in soil other than himself (even in the parable of the sower). You are missing the teaching of God's word on the subject because you think you know, when you do not.

Maybe you should ask the Lord to give you understanding on this subject; because it is very clear to me that ministers sow the seed of God's word into other people's lives.

Yes...and there is both the immediate context to consider...and the topical context. 1 Corinthians 2:13 tells us that the topical context is important and that the Holy Spirit can and will teach us through contrasting and parallel verses that speak on the same subject in scripture.

Christ has forgiven only the sins of those who believe in Him and have appropriated what He did for them on the Cross....see Romans 3:25. Therefore, the whole world's sins are not forgiven, but repentance is required... Now repentance is not exactly the same thing as works...while it will...

Everything except the scriptures that were expounded upon themselves.

Yes there is a judgment coming. Those who are in Christ have been forgiven of our sins and will be rewarded/repaid for the good things we have done, i.e. we will be handed out rewards (1 Corinthians 3:11-15). Those who are not in Christ, none of their good deeds will profit them (Isaiah 57:12...

According to John 5:24, we have already passed from death unto life if we hear the words of Jesus and believe on Him who sent Him. What is the nature of that life? It is that we "have" everlasting life according to the same verse. Therefore from the first moment that we believe on Christ, we...

We cannot; because it is not exactly accurate to what the scriptures teach. For the scriptures teach that we are not under the law, are dead to the law, and are delivered from the law. Therefore, our obligation to obey the Lord, which is wrapped up in the law, is put away through the sacrifice...

To you, what is the nature of everlasting life? Is it possible for everlasting life to ever come to an end? If so, how is it everlasting? My exegesis: If someone wanders away from the truth, they had only mental assent to the tenets of the gospel and did not have a heart faith that is unto...

I beg to differ. Every cherry contains a seed that can be planted in the heart; which will grow into cherry tree that produces more cherries. By their fruits you shall know them; and I would contend that cherries are a good fruit type.

Oh that revival would wash over our shores again!

It does exist...but I would say that such a free eternal salvation might affect what we do in this life.

I beg to differ. If I share a verse with you, I am sowing that seed into your life. If you continue to disagree, I believe that we will have to agree to disagree.

You wanted me to answer your verses, so I will answer this one with the following statement: The earnest or pledge, scripturally, is a deposit guaranteeing what is to come. NIV-- 2Co 1:21, Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 2Co 1:22, set his seal of...

By all means prove it. The only other option is that the person who believes and falls away continues to have everlasting life...which has actually been presented before by someone who thought that it was the truth. Because the person who believes has everlasting life; and the nature of...
