"If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (or “Sin boldly”), but let your trust in...

Even after 960 posts, the title still stands as they continue to prove they ... "are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means." :)

Both Charles Stanley and I agree (as do a great many other Christians). Which is what made it so offensive to me for someone to condemn Charles Stanley (or any Christian) with unsupported RUMORS and PERSONAL OPINIONS while refusing to provide any actual evidence to support the charges when...

So you will not meet Him in the air ... you will wait for Jesus to make it to the ground? [LOL] :)

A Christian possibly can avoid sin for 24 hours, but the bar for 24 hours of complete sinlessness is high. And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like...

I only heard of "Pan-Tribulation Rapture" theology ... rather than holding a firm conviction that we will be "raptured" before the "great tribulation" (Pre-Trib) or holding a firm conviction that we will be "raptured" after the "great tribulation" (Post-Trib), some are unsure and hold firmly to...

1. see Post #930 2. I was not speaking to you, and after post #940 I have nothing to say to you that would not waste both our time. I converse with Christians, not graceless Pharisee bent on yolking the world with their Law and praising God that they are not like other men. Get back to me if...

WOW, You really have ABSOLUTELY NO Fruit of the Spirit, do you? 16 I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other...

You should post your two questions to a new topic of their own … I would love to see the results! Once upon a time, probably. Now I think of the words of King David (who I hear was a man after God’s heart) where he said “I will make no offering that costs me nothing.” That feels like an...

I like this one better, because it is easier for me to answer. HYPOTHETICALLY, if the Sadducees had been correct (life ends at the grave and there is no afterlife), I would STILL choose to worship and serve God in this life … even despised as the first Christians were. Coming from the utter...

@Wynona Sorry, I am derailing my own topic. A quick “on topic” question if I may: Is there a risk that God will drop you from His grasp before you finish your race? Or Can you jump from the hand of God? Whichever way you prefer to think of finishing/not finishing “the race”. (Assurance of...

Meh. His point is that God does not hate you … not that we should be sinning all the time. Both “God does not hate you, God loves you” and “Knock it off and start living to please God” are messages worth knowing. That’s why Ephesians 2:4 starts out with “But God, who is rich in mercy, because...

I agree. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” ― Henry Ford

Actually, the questions were more “rhetorical”. Their purpose was like the guard rails on a mountain road that keep you from driving off a cliff. You already made it clear that you do not believe we should “sin more that grace may increase”. They were just intended to establish that you were...

I hear people COMPLAINING about other people teaching we don’t have to obey God. I have never actually heard anyone claim that we don’t have to obey God except an atheist. Perhaps you could post a link to such a teacher … for my enlightenment.

Respectfully, can you say that you have been successful in avoiding all sin in the last 12 months? If not, then how do “the verses about no one being without sin” not apply to you even in the present?

“For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift -- not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.” [Ephesians 2:8-10 CSB] The ORDER is...

No it doesn’t. OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved) just believes that Jesus really meant it when He said: "Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. This...

Aren't they past needing prayer? In Hades awaiting Hell, they seem past making a choice. In Heaven, they seem past needing anything from us. (Not arguing, just curious what the dead gain from our prayers.)

Or ... God is in charge of what sort of SOIL the seed lands in and MY JOB is just to broadcast the SEED and trust GOD to make it grow where God wants it to grow. My EVANGELISM cannot fail because it does not dependent on my clever speech to win over "free will" minds, it depends on God to...
