    Bible not coming "alive" to me anymore

    Be careful to not lean on your feelings nor your own understanding. You will waver like the wind every time your feelings change. I used to lean on my own understanding, and it led me straight to condemnation all the time. Talk about mental torture. Lean on Jesus Christ alone, and you will stay...

    Great, thank the Lord. In the middle of changing employment and potentially location, so times are exciting. What about you?

    Lol on your “Christian only” take

    How do you know you can't truly say you "know" there is a God?

    Unpopular opinion -

    Deuteronomy 32:39 - See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. What can the doctor do that God isn't already behind? 2 Chronicles 16:12 - And Asa in the thirty and ninth year...

    Why Do You Believe....

    God's Word is how I differentiate validity. Ambiguity is unavoidable :)

    Sounds like fun. Do you ever wrap chains around your tires? I know people used to do that up around the Lake Tahoe area for the intense weather conditions when I was a kid.

    Sending an airdrop of supplies to your quarters ASAP! Has the snow kept you locked inside lately? My wife and I enjoy snow, but we don't get it often here in our area.

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    I haven't been caught up on the thread lately, but I was thinking about it a few weeks ago when I heard talk about Christians and tattoos on an FM radio station while driving to work. It was as if the talk hosts were reading the discussions directly from this thread! I thought that was neat...

    Justification By Works

    I don't have a version of salvation by faith. We are not saved by our faith. I mean it plain and simple but you won't listen. You keep twisting my position. Why? We are not saved by faith. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians...

    Justification By Works

    I'm personally not very familiar with him. So from my perspective, if he is convinced and trying to genuinely debate Scripture with people then that is fine. I would hate for him to be genuine with people and then we be mean towards him. I am just not very familiar with him. People are just too...

    Justification By Works

    You don't even read what you are quoting. You quoted me: Then you tell me that I am preaching salvation by faith. You quoted me: Then you tell me that I am not engaging the topic of justification. I have a hard time taking you seriously.

    Justification By Works

    Yes, thank God works follow faith and faith follows Salvation. It is not that I am good, but that He works in me. I do not enjoy sinning.

    Justification By Works

    I never argued salvation by faith alone. I specifically said not saved by faith. This is why I don't spend much time engaging with people.

    Are all “christians” on forums actually saved?

    I can relate. Salvation is looking to Christ. Whenever I look away from Christ and focus on myself, I am in the lowest pit of that despair.

    Justification By Works

    We are not saved by our doing nor our faith. Christians are not saved by their faith. Christians are saved by Grace. By grace through faith. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of faith. Christians have faith because they are saved. Jesus is the gift of Salvation that takes a dead sinner and gives...

    Justification By Works

    So the one who believes on Jesus Christ will be saved. That's all there is to it. It's all in Christ. If you believe on Him, that means you have His Salvation. Don't try to do any works to be saved, as if Christ isn't good enough. That's rejecting Christ. - Jesus said unto her, I am the...

    Justification By Works

    Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (Romans 3:22) Salvation is Christ alone. Saved by grace through faith.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    We are all workers of lawlessness. Only Christ obeyed the Moral Law of God. The Law is the schoolmaster which leads to Christ. Christ is the end of the law. Christ is our Salvation. Keep studying.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Believing, trusting, hoping on what Jesus Christ did is evidence that He has washed you with His blood.(maybe you don't believe on Him, I don't know) What is there to fear on judgement day, when Jesus the Judge Himself sees His own perfect works in you? It's not what you did, it's not what I...

    We didn't get much snow this time here in Nashville. Last week I measured 6 inches. This time I guess about 2 inches. How much snow did you get?
