    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That it is; a myth

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    If you believe the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, then yes. And by believer, that must mean a saved individual and not one that simply believes since belief alone saves no one. Edit: Just to clarify my above statement. Lazarus was comforted in Abraham's bosom at his death but not...

    Why is the book of Revelation so hard to read and understand?

    First of all, it was written to the 7 churches of Asia in their time, not to us in our time. What was it suppose to mean to them??? What does it mean to us??? It's for sure symbolic, so what do the symbols mean? This is where and how it gets highly confusing and speculative. If it's written to...

    Do we choose to repent?

    No one can repent for you, you must repent on your own volition which in so doing constitutes " choice "

    Is speaking in tongues necessary for salvation?

    Where does it say or remotely infer anything of the kind? NOWHERE in the bible! Just a casual reading of the book of conversions will tell you how to be saved and it has nothing whatsoever to do with "tongues" which also do not exist today. So how are we saved today then? Once again, the book of...

    Does God have wings?

    The only problem when reading God's word, is determining what and when something is to be taken literally and not, and then what you ascribe to the words that you selectively choose to take as non-literal. It becomes subjective, and we then also say, for our convenience, what we feel or think...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Only in the kjv, one of its few anomalies. The Greek word is 'pascha', which is passover, but the kjv translators took it upon themselves to substitute Easter because of the overlap of that pagan celebration which coincided with the passover at that time.

    Does God have wings?

    I simply quoted the scriptures and stated no personal position. Read them and decide for yourself.

    Does God have wings?

    God is spirit not a spirit or ghost. And regarding my post, I have no idea if God actually has wings or not; I'm simply pointing out what the scriptures say in many places that raises that question. Does it matter if he does or doesn't? No

    Does God have wings?

    The "real bible" is the original language, and for the NT, that's Greek. As I already stated to you, ck out the interlinear, the original Greek language. There is no 'a'. And also look at other translations. The kjv and only a couple others stuck a 'a' before spirit. Look at the new kjv, the...

    Does God have wings?

    No, God is not a spirit, but the correct translation is God is spirit (not a spirit) meaning God is the life force, energy, etc. Check out that scripture a little more closely and see the interlinear. John 4:24. The KJV is NOT the correct translation.

    Does God have wings?

    As strange as it may seem, there are scriptures we typically overlook, suggesting that God has wings; not a wing, such as 'take you under his wing', but wings, plural! Psalm 57:1 1{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be merciful unto me, O...

    Steps for divorce?

    There's only one reason for divorce and that's for infidelity.

    Does not NATURE itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him

    Define "long". It's a subjective term that requires further defining.

    Is it Necessary to Keep the Law?

    The law couldn't be kept by the Jews hence the new covenant, so why should it be raised as a question now as to whether or not we should keep it or if it's necessary??

    Bible was never written to you

    Just a lack of understanding what they read. If a letter was written to the Corinthians, addressing their issues of their day, it wasn't written to us as is clear by the salutation. So, one must simply recognize that first, and then look at what was being said to THEM, and then determine how and...

    How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

    His comment makes no sense because if you don't believe, you won't do anything at all. It's a really dumb argument, dumb logic, and dumb statement.

    How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

    Yes! Just like the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8, and then he was immediately baptized!
