Because kindness doesn't save. Humbling ourselves to recognize Jesus as our Lord is what saves. Focusing on anything but Jesus allows for self-righteousness to take root.

So loving one-another in obedience with the commandments keeps us from apostasy?

It sounded like you were making a way or excusing others for using a way to salvation other than belief in Jesus Christ. I wanted to make sure that wasn't the case. Loving God and our Neighbor these are the greatest commandments. But there are times we fall short of the perfect love of Jesus...

If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved... for, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' If we agree that being born again is instantaneous, as there is a moment in our lives that the Holy...

Righteous comes by faith. Even the faith of sinners in salvation through the shed blood of Jesus. Love is a fruit of the Spirit. How can someone know the love of Jesus if they don't believe he died for them? If they believe that then they already know the gospel of Jesus, and this is splitting...

From our perspective we are able to exercise our will. And from our perspective we affect our reality. Our choices are as real as the world we live in. God knowing the end from the beginning only effects us when he reveals what is going to happen.

We have a Dreams and Visions sub-forum for this purpose. Welcome to the forum!

Believers experience a change at the moment of salvation. This change is due to the Holy Spirit taking residence and beginning his work on/in us. This is what Jesus told Nicodemus: We must be born again. And there is not a single account of anyone being born again in the absence of the...

1. If a question is genuine in seeking clarification, and not stemming from unbelief I see no problem with asking. 2. Cause I took the Holy Spirit training course. 3. Yes, Holy Spirit revelation revealing scriptural consistency, along with historical and experiential consistently, gives me a...

Children do not call their father by name, they call him dad. They aren't going to confuse someone else for their dad because they only have one dad. God didn't need a name when talking walking with Adam, because there was no confusing him for someone else. There are no other gods besides him...

For now yes. But eventually every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I would recommend considering the opposite, are you really free to believe in God? What is keeping you from believing?

I was thinking Luke 8:17-18 refered to the breath of life. If we have Christ we receive eternal life. But if we do not have Christ, even the life we have now will be taken away.

We close threads because we find them to no longer serve an edifying purpose. Also closing a thread is considered a staff action and discussing staff actions is against the rules.

The principalities and powers of the air. These influence politics, and many other things. For this reason we need to pray for those in positions of authority. Prayer addresses the root of the problem. Politicing may also be necessary for a wholistic solution. Because many in power willingly...

I still ask this question. It is written that without Faith it is impossible to please God. There is a great emphasis placed upon Faith. But Why? One could say it is because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. As said in...

There is the biblical account of the saints raised from the dead that were seen walking around Jerusalem. Not something that happens every day.

Demons may be different beings than angels. I've only ever seen biblical evidence for repentance being possible for the living. There is purgatory, but I'm not RCC and find evidence for it lacking.

Hell was created for the devil and his angels, maybe they like the heat. Maybe human souls who are outside of God's protection are dragged to hell and tortured by demons.

I believe we should pursue alternative energy sources even if the only reason is the crude oil and natural gas reserves are finite. Some means of transportation require the energy density of liquid fuel, like planes. I suppose hydrogen would work but that creates serious safety issues.

It seems to me that part of Enoch is inspired and some parts are not. That it was excluded to preserve biblical inerrancy.
