Judas was a devil who did not have a genuine living and saving faith in Jesus. John 6:70-71.

If you compare Romans 8:12-14 to John 11:25-27, you should be able to see that if anyone truly believes in Him, (with a genuine, bona fide, living and saving faith that will endure unto the end,) they will not live after the flesh. Therefore OSAS is not ruled out of the equation by Romans...

"No offense, but you look like a hypocrite to me". tare = nongenuine Christian. Of course there is that indication in scripture that someone could be a recipient of the grace of God and yet it would have no positive effect on their behaviour. Isaiah 26:10. But I am saying that as a general...

If anyone is in Christ (a believer), he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new! 2 Corinthians 5:17.

If you ever proved it to be true (I am assuming the gift that you are speaking of is salvation), you would be proving the scriptures to be incorrect. For it is written, that the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance (irrevocable). Salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23).

My part in salvation has to do with surrender rather than self-effort. And this is not anything that I muster up in the power of my flesh but is the response of faith that I have towards the word of the Lord...it is receiving the word of the Lord rather than rejecting it.

Most people go by the acronym YO--You and then Others, and Jesus is left entirely out of the picture.

Jesus said to take up our cross daily and follow Him, denying self. Also, Paul said, I die daily. And to me, that means that tomorrow when I get up, it is another day and I am to die to self that day. This is salvation for me from day to day (2 Corinthians 6:2, 1 Corinthians 15:31) If I say...

In receiving His love we receive a mandate to put Jesus first, others second, and ourselves last. This is what love is: it amounts to carrying a cross. Since salvation happens when we receive the love of God, it must be surrender to the love of God, even the Cross in our lives, that happens...

So then, why didn't everyone just give up the ghost the moment they saw Jesus when He walked the earth?

We actually camped in a campground not far from there; and while I didn't get a chance to meet him, James Dobson was one of the people camping nearby.

No one is saying otherwise. My point is that when the love of the Lord is shed abroad in the heart (Romans 5:5) it will work itself out practically in a person's life (1 John 3:17-18).

I was there for Somebody Loves You Crusade; I don't remember why else we were in the area.

No one knows the day or the hour; and therefore it could happen in twenty minutes or in twenty decades; in one second or in one century. However, Jesus warned us not to follow after those who would try to tell us that the time is at hand (Luke 21:8).

Salvation is in essence to receive the love of the Lord: and to live by the love of the Lord is to take up your cross and follow Him (to put yourself last). Therefore in receiving salvation we accept the terms that God has given concerning discipleship, or else we will fall away from the faith...

I'm sorry that doesn't fly with me (because I know what my Bible teaches on the issue). Also, I am not willing to argue over the subject and also do not need to argue over the subject (to me it is a peripheral issue that has no bearing on salvation: and therefore if you want to believe...

How did the scribes and Pharisees and stand before Jesus (and the people of His day)? For He is the Holy God! I believe that the answer is that His Deity was veiled in human flesh...as it will be during the millennial reign.

I beg to differ. See Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46. Do you have scripture that says that Jews are excluded from this heaven, spoken of in Colossians 1:5 (kjv) and 1 Peter 1:4?

See Daniel 12:2. It is the unbelieving who will be raised unto shame and everlasting contempt. See also John 5:29.

The point would make about this is that if anyone knows that they are forgiven through Jesus' death on the Cross, they will love Jesus much (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5). If we love Him, we will obey His commandments; including His commandment to take up our cross daily and follow...
