    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    It is a place. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8); and God is Omnipotent (Revelation 19:6). God is also love (1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16). How then can God be unsuccessful (a question for you)?

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    Somehow the new posts in this thread didn't register on my alert button; so I am somewhat behind on this thread, and will now try to catch up.

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    1 John 2:6 does apply to a certain extent, but I meant to quote 2 John 1:6; and corrected it in the post..

    Your favorite Psalm?

    I remember as a new Christian reading those very Psalms out loud in a library and someone came by and praised me for having the boldness to do that and encouraged me to continue in the faith.

    Easter ? What are we celebrating?

    Easter for many Christians is simply a celebration of Christ's resurrection with a celebration of His death and burial a few days before on Good Friday. For many of us, the pagan elements are not even observed. I believe that the holiday works out for people's salvation because many Christians...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Believe it or not, I count myself to be a combination of Calvary Chapel, Nazarene, and Oneness. But I also was truly saved outside of the walls of a church denomination. The law no longer condemns us from the outside as believers and it does not save us. But I do believe that Jesus saves us...

    Believers stay righteous by practicing righteousness

    I would suggest that if they are walking in habitual sin, they are not truly born again. Of course Christ is the only one who can judge them, except for 1 Corinthians 6:2. Nevertheless 1 Corinthians 4:5 also applies. Carnal Christians (Romans 7:14, 1 Corinthians 3:1) are still generally...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    The whole of the book of Galatians concerns justification and how we obtain it...we cannot obtain it through the works of the law and it is the tendency of our human hearts to try to do so. If we keep in memory that we are justified through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ of...

    Believers stay righteous by practicing righteousness

    Thus the confusion...a BAC is not someone who generally continues in habitual sin. Of course the righteous man falls seven times and gets back up again: and the good man, if he falls, will not be utterly cast down. However the righteousness of the righteous is ever-increasing unto the day of...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    Point out the verses where the Son says that. I can think of a few that you might bring up: "My Father is greater than I". "No one knows the day or hour; not the angels of God, neither the Son, but only the Father." My answer to this is that in the hypostatic union Jesus is distinctly the Son...

    Your favorite Psalm?

    Probably in most every Bible. That is where I got the information: from the header on that chapter in my Bible.

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Obeying the commandments of the Lord God is the love of God (see Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10).

    Your favorite Psalm?

    At the very least, Psalms 90 was written by Moses.

    Believers stay righteous by practicing righteousness

    I only need one: Hebrews 3:14. It tells me that I am a partaker of Christ if I hold the beginning of my confidence stedfast unto the end. And therefore my being a partaker of Christ means that I will. His fear in me will keep me from departing from Him (Jeremiah 32:38-40). I am eternally...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Romans 4:5 indicates that our identity in Christ is that we are righteous even when we blow it. Now let us live according to who the Lord says we are in Christ (1 John 3:7). See also Romans 4:8.

    Your favorite Psalm?

    It certainly reflects my situation at times; and I am very blessed.
