    Jesus!

    All of this definitely applies to those who go to other translations (then the kjv) with itching ears. It certainly is not irrelevant. If someone wants to do an extensive study on the many verses where in the NIV and other translations like it, the message is watered down as compared to the...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    We are made partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the end...it is saying that if we hold fast to the end, we were partakers of Christ all along... If we do not endure to the end, it is because we weren't truly partakers of Christ. Therefore, being partakers of Christ means that we will endure...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    Those who are designated good soil (cf. Luke 8:8 (kjv), Luke 8:15 (kjv)) (i.e. the elect) will endure to the end (Hebrews 3:6 (kjv), Hebrews 3:14 (kjv)) and will enter in as promised (John 5:24 (kjv), John 6:47 (kjv), John 10:27-30 (kjv), Hebrews 13:5 (kjv), Matthew 28:20 (kjv))

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    Then there is the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43)...the wheat bear fruit and are gathered into His barn...the tares do not bear fruit and are gathered to be thrown into the fire. What makes the wheat wheat, and the tares, tares? the wheat was planted by...

    Jesus!

    These statements coming from someone who doesn't believe that Jesus died for his sins...how can you even have the Holy Spirit when you do not have faith in the very basics? You are not a credible source to be drawing my opinions from... And, btw, it is no lie that the kjv is the word of the...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    The same heat that melts the butter hardens the clay. When the butter melts, did it make a choice that it was going to melt because it wanted to? When the clay hardens, did it make the choice to harden because that is what it wanted to do? Perhaps. However, we know that the butter melting...

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    It is the ones who receive the whole counsel of God (and therefore heed the warnings given that you have mentioned above) who are recipients of the promises on eternal security (such as John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30, and Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20). The fear of the LORD is the prescribed...

    Jesus!

    To me it doesn't matter who they were...they were the instruments of the Lord in bringing about a translation that has stood the test of time. It is a part of my own personal testimony that I began with the kjv, and then someone suggested that I try a different translation, which I did. And...

    Metanoia

    Repentance...metanoia...means to change your mind about who is the Lord of your life. Before accepting Christ I lived for myself and I held that I was the Lord of my own life...and thus I was actually serving satan, who exalts pride and self-rule as being the law of his kingdom. After...

    Jesus!

    It is no lie...but it is something that you have to accept on faith. For the way to life is narrow, and few there be that find it...Matthew 7:13-14.

    On How to be saved

    No, that is the result of salvation. You have stumbled at that stumblingstone, my friend (see Romans 9:30-31, Romans 10:1-4). The way to salvation is clearly represented in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and John 3:16. Word.

    Limited Atonement VS Universal Atonement

    Here is how you save yourself through the works of the law...you must be perfect in your life (keeping the law impeccably) from the moment of your conception into all of eternity (Galatians 3:10-13, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48)... (As a three-year-old, I thought that I had my t's crossed and my...

    It is written...2 Timothy 3:15-16 (kjv).

    On How to be saved

    God has given us His word (the Holy Bible) because there is a devil who would come to us with lies (even claiming to be the Lord God, desiring to be worshipped); and God's prescribed way for us to deal with him is to say, "It is written..." (Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13).

    On How to be saved

    Subjective experience may or may not be based in reality...but if you are a born again Christian, you know that the reality that brings salvation is dictated by the word of the Lord (the Holy Bible), and that every person either believes or does not believe the reality that is dictated by the...

    Jesus!

    The kjv Bible is the word of God. The NASB and the NIV (and perhaps others also) are watered-down counterfeits that do not teach the same thing as the kjv.

    What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

    God's word on the subjects given in Moroni 8 is found in 1 Corinthians 7:14 and Psalms 51:5. I'm sure there is more in the Bible about it, also; but it is sufficient to show that all are conceived in sin and are in need of redemption; something that Moroni 8 appears to deny.

    On How to be saved

    Everybody had better ask the Lord for the gift of strong discernment...because without it we are all sitting ducks when the devil comes against us with scripture!
