Ha! Good one :)

2 Corinthians 5:21 "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." That's how I understand this, anyhow. :)

I am not golfer but, didn't you miss one thing in the list of stuff one needs to keep their eye on before hitting the ball? Maybe, the BALL!! LOLOL j/k BL.. :D

Be a "doer" and not just a "hearer". So easy to "hear" but, put the rubber to the road and....then we will know the difference...:eek:

Then how can I , in good conscience look my unsaved friends and family in the eyes and tell them that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."? I DO understand that there will be few who take the...

David L. You seem to be a proponent of Individual Selection? The way I understand it is that aThe Holy Spirit is who is sent forth to awaken the consciences of men so they see their need. If they harden their hearts enough times, their hearts become seared and will never come to the truth...

"...badly interpreted verses.." Do you have a few examples of these scriptures Epis? Are you speaking about the "correction" verses?

"Jesus healed on the Sabbath but He didn't saw table legs on it. " - So, where do you draw the line?? Seems to me there were a slew of things one could, or could not do on a Sabbath day. Do you follow that list? "I was making $10,000/month at Bellsouth in 2006 and lost my job for refusing to...

Spot on and good post, fine job! "peace is an inside thing, not an outside thing." Oh how true that is. If our peace is on the inside...which it should be, it is impossible for Satan to steal it ♥

I have not in the least even suggested diminishing Gods Righteousness or sovereignty...if some one receives a gift, do you see that as works? I also thought I was pretty specific in contrasting works of the flesh and works of the Spirit. And, yes, the works are prepared in advance that we...

"note that the same gift will return "twice the sons of hell you are" and "seven worse spirits" too though, right" I do believe this refers to the Pharisees and Law keepers-who rejected The Spirit of God and He no longer will reside with this person which in turn leaves their soul open to all...

Good works are a byproduct of being saved. To me, obedience is a huge part OF good works in His name. Belief in what He did for us and FAITH IN IT is what saves us. The rest WILL follow NATURALLY-IF one truly has received His offering-free gift-salvation. And, one has to receive a gift, no?

Is not one of the Holy Spirits roles to convict sinners of their sin? If one is honest with and agrees with God that they ARE sinners and CANNOT save themselves-which is ludicrous- and that they are in need of a Savior? When God opens our eyes, we cannot help but see His truth...and the more...

Can that one please be another thread? lol

"just try mentioning any other Scripture and see what happens" I will take a pass on that one, not up to any silly debates ;)

In my own studies and teachings, Jesus indeed DID shed His blood for the remission of the sins of the WHOLE world. And, His sacrifice is a FREE gift for all who believe on Him and what He did. So, in that sense, the "whole world" will not "receive" the gift freely given. So by default, their...

I think one would have to be quite the spiritual contortionist to believe ANY of that stuff. Wow...so, an angel dies for humans but, not for angels... :rolleyes: God requires PERFECTION, an angel is NOT PERFECT and NOT HUMAN. Jesus HAD to be God as He WAS perfect and from eternity past. God...

4 years ago, this coming December 15th will mark the last day of my work life. My walk with our Abba, was not where it should have been. I knew it was not but I also had been feeling His pull. After 43 solid years of working to keep myself above water, I found myself in the deepest of...

Last summer, a friend and myself were sitting on my porch. It was a beautiful day with few clouds. I started to notice clouds forming what looked like an E. It became a perfect capital E. then, a V was formed to the left of the E, a PERFECT V and E...same size, not cloud connection. It...

In my town, they just 2 weeks ago closed my favorite thrift store, I have been going there for decades as, the selections and prices were right up my alley.. I have never gotten so many compliments wearing used clothes than I ever did with "new" clothes. NOT that I'm looking for compliments...
