Nope, I don't disagree at all. Jesus Is Our Truth, Reward, And Faithfulness So We Can Lie, Steal, and Fornicate! Any and every claim to righteousness that I have comes from Jesus and not from any innate goodness in me. If I lie, God still loves and accepts me because of His Son (Jesus). If I...

Are Christians called by scripture to do NOTHING to stop evil? That really seems to be the heart of the exegesis of verses that Christians are NEVER to take up arms in physical opposition. So how far does that really extend? If a stranger enters my home to do harm, should I "turn the other...

No thank you. If I quote "By His stripes we are healed" and claim that that proved that God heals all illness, so a Christian should never be sick. That would be a misuse of that scripture. Claiming that is a misuse of that scripture does not mean that I believe God does not heal diseases, it...

No church meets these criteria AND has not split off. Only the Orthodox Church (Greek, Oriental, Eastern) has never split from its Apostolic founding roots and they do not meet your list of criteria. So based on the TITLE of this Topic, there is no Church to get Back To. "All of us like sheep...

While I have not waged war as a Christian for personal reasons, this rule seems to have taken the verse out of context. (I have no serious disagreement with any of the others, just some minor questions on how some would work in practice. Not worth discussing.)

Just tell me that the Hillary vs Trump and Trump vs Biden elections were better than a Monarchy would have been and I will tell you that I am joking. How long must we keep holding our nose and vote for the lesser of two evils? Proverbs 21:1 [NLT] 1 The king's heart is like a stream of water...

Anyone interested in a North American Monarchy ... King Harry and Queen Megan? I mean... they are already hanging out in North America they enjoy good approval ratings the UK is carrying on just fine without them CAN THEY DO WORSE THAN OUR LAST FEW LEADERS (US or Canada)? We might finally put...

You have enough problems with YOUR leader, Trudeau. We won't hold you responsible for the US President as well. ;)

I have survived two church splits in my life. In the first, the pastor gradually grew to believe that the miracles in the bible were allegorical rather than historical and are intended to teach us how to live "good lives". His long time relationship with the Elder Board made consensus to...

Absolutely NOTHING. :) Sometimes we just need a reminder that there is a whole great big world beyond Washington, DC that goes on irrespective of what some over-inflated and self-important elected officials and bureaucrats are up to. As far as the 2020 Election goes, voter fraud is...

What Really Happened January 6th? A really great Epiphany in Tarpon Springs, Florida.

If we HAVE TO WORK, then Grace is not Grace, according to Paul. The saved will CHOOSE to walk in the good works which God prepared for us in advance. You seem to be presenting WORKS as the root that keeps our salvation alive rather than the fruit that naturally grows from a strong, healthy...

No. In your world it is all about what YOU do. In my world it is all about what GOD does. Biblical “take”. Philippians 1:6 [NASB] 6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:12-13 [NASB] 12 So then...

... but not what God said. :(

John 10:22-30 [NLT] It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication. He was in the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon's Colonnade. The people surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are...

Matthew 7:14 (GPV) For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it ... and almost none that don't get struck down on the path for sin and doubt. ... Not EXACTLY like Jesus. :)

That SUCKS as a definition. Later.

You SAY it is not of fear: But most of your message sounds as terrifying as the OT covenant with every man trying desperately to avoid a fatal misstep of doubt and call down the damnation of God like those in the desert ... ... it sounds like a miracle that ANYONE finishes the race!

I am still waiting for your "complete and untruncated" and therefore "Biblical" definition of saved (since you reject John 3 as a source).

Hebrews 10 26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without...
