    Getting Grace Right

    See Romans 4:7-8, Hebrews 9:12, and Hebrews 10:14-17. That is not a scriptural statement. John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30, and Hebrews 13:5 are all promises on the eternal security of all those who are truly born again. (and therefore true salvation, once it has been truly received...

    Eternal Security

    The true and faithful doctrine of the Deity of Jesus Christ will not be received by the natural man (1 Corinthians 2:13-14); you must receive the Holy Ghost if you are going to be able to even understand or believe or receive doctrine that comes from the Spirit of God. You can receive the Holy...

    Getting Grace Right

    No unregenerated person truly seeks after God (Romans 3:11). What people are instead seeking after is eternal life; or eternal pleasure; or deliverance from the condemnation of hell. But God? no one really wants Him. And if you have Him, it is absolutely true that you do not need to seek...

    Romans 4:1-8, What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness...

    Actually, that is not true...see Song of Solomon 6:11 :p

    Getting Grace Right

    Are you serious? Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and narrow is the way that leads to life (Matthew 7:13-14). If you are heading down the path that leads to destruction, that is very, very sad in my...

    Eternal Security

    I have never been "indoctrinated" except by personal Bible reading and qualified people who have the spiritual gift of teaching. And it is one of my main prayers that I might only believe what is sound doctrine of the Lord's word. See also 1 Timothy 4:16 and Acts of the Apostles 17:11...I try...

    Jesus is God Almighty (John 8:58-59, John 10:31-33, Exodus 3:14, Hebrews 1:8-9, etc.). No you will not, unless you repent of your unbelief concerning the Deity of Jesus Christ. If you fail to believe that Jesus is the great I AM, you will die in your sins (John 8:24). Did Paul not have the...

    Eternal Security

    There is only one Lord (Ephesians 4:5); and since God the Father is that Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), what do you make of the fact that no one can say that Jesus is that Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3)?

    Yes; and that is found with a capital "G" in Colossians 2:9.

    Eternal Security

    Anyone who preaches that the way to life is broad (see Matthew 7:13-14) does not have the Spirit; because they are preaching a false gospel (2 Corinthians 11:3-4, Galatians 1:6-9).

    Eternal Security

    Eve was deceived; and Adam made a choice to eat of the fruit; some say because he loved his wife more than he loved God and sacrificially ate of the tree so that she would not be condemned eternally without him; because in partaking of the fruit he made way for God to provide redemption for both...

    I do this to save space and time. Sorry if it is an inconvenience. I'm interested in you doing a study on what it says in the original languages in Matthew 11:25 and Luke 10:21 concerning what is translated Lord. If I'm not mistaken, all renderings of "Lord" in the New Testament are from the...

    How to hold tight to our Joy in The Lord, In the midst of our sorrow.

    There can be joy in the midst of sorrow (Ecclesiastes 7:1-5); because joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and therefore if it is better to be in the place of sorrow than laughter (and it is); then the fruit of joy can be borne in the midst of sorrow. For his anger endureth for a...

    That a Universalist might actually be saved...that's impossible! Prayers...Nothing is impossible with God.

    I showed you the how and why...but I guess you are going to go back on your word about changing your mind about the whole issue...as I expected. Your unbelief is not a matter of your intellect but a matter of your heart (see Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, Hebrews 4:7). To @APAK

    See Romans 5:9, Romans 5:1, and then Romans 3:25. Forgiveness through the blood of Jesus is appropriated through faith in that shed blood. You should not be here because you are not a Christian but a Universalist. re #8.

    Eternal Security

    Such promises as John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30 and Hebrews 13:5 are not given to those who would be defined as having a wicked heart. They are given to the born again believer (see the progression from Jeremiah 17:9 to Ezekiel 36:25-27 to Luke 8:15); and they are obtained by faith (2...

    Nope. He didn't; because He is immutably the Lord God. He came as High Priest of the order of Melchizedec; not after the law of a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life. You can go to other translations if you wish, in rejection of the King James Version's rendering. Just...
