    Galatians 5

    So you are Catholic? If you die with even one not confessed Sin, that Sin is not forgiven and you are damned? Do you at least embrace the Apocrypha so you can trust in Purgatory? You have my sympathy. You must be terrified of death. Damnation is only one stray though, slip of the lip or...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    Oops. I thought we were having an honest conversation with different opinions. I see that I was wrong. David will go to the GRAVE like his child is in the GRAVE, but his child will not return from the GRAVE to the land of the LIVING. I quit. You win.

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    Sure it makes sense. A man named Adam (no relation) does not have a genetic propensity to alcoholism. Is it possible for Adam to still choose to drink to excess and become an Alcoholic? Why yes it is. Several generations later, through bad breeding, all of Adams...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    “Conversations with you are never fun” was not intended to be a quote of what you said. “Conversations with you are never fun” is what I think and what I remember feeling about having conversations with you. See post # 107. I was discussing the OMNIPOTENCE of God with someone else. You jumped...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Congratulations, now it is my turn to ask ... Do you have a clue what you are talking about? Let's recap the conversation between bbyrd009 and atpollard that you seem intent to "enlighten" me about: bbyrd009 jumped into a conversation that I was having with someone else with a message that was...

    Will the children of God suffer His wrath?

    I suspect that the Sudanese Christians being murdered by Muslims would be very surprised to learn that Christians do not need to suffer the Tribulation. Those burned as torches in Nero’s garden would likewise disagree that Tribulation is the same as God’s wrath. I stink at Eschatology (there...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    The details I have forgotten, but the frustration I feel after each of your “communications” with me is indelibly etched into my memory. “Conversations with you are never fun” is what I remember clearly. And it is not that we disagree. I disagree with a lot of people. The problem with...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    I cannot help but be “obtuse” when you deliberately obfuscate your question. Thus whatever your true intent, it inevitably feels like “trolling”. I ask direct questions and I give direct answers.

    Galatians 5

    I think that probably refers to the “dead faith” of James 2:17-26 and the “I never knew you” crowd of Matthew 7:15-23. Those who warm themselves near the fire of the Church, but never get to actually know the Bridegroom.

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    That is not starting a topic and calling me out on something you want to discuss. I suspect that you have nothing to say, so you just troll for reactions with insults. This conversation will not take long if you are serious that is your question. Q. Who told me that I was naked? A. No one has...

    Galatians 5

    [1Jo 1:9 NLT] 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. [1Jo 2:1 NLT] 1 My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before...

    Galatians 5

    Quote a specific verse, don’t make me search a chapter and guess what verse you have in mind ... I guess 2 Peter 2:1 ... No, false prophets and false teachers are “false”, so they were never saved. That is not an example of falling away. Besides, there are 100% guarantees scattered throughout...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    I don’t think that I had any significant questions for you. The question about self-cleaning pots was rhetorical. Pots do not clean themselves and neither do sinful human vessels. Here is one question of a general nature ... can you not see your own posts in quotes when I respond to them? I...

    :rolleyes: Just as I suspect. Run along little boy, the GROWNUPS are talking.

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    You talk a lot of tough smack for someone that never actually puts up anything to discuss. How would we know what I would do when you always seem to be bluffing and refuse to lay any cards on the table! If you have something you want to debate with me, then start a topic and call me out on it...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    (1) Verses did me no good in communicating with you the first two times, why would more verses change things? (2) It is your opinion as well if you quoted the Westminster Shorter Catechism definition of Sanctification because you believe that it is biblically correct: "Sanctification is the...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Short and to the point response ... Obedience is not Sanctification. Sanctification is being made progressively more Christ-like from the moment of our initial justification until our final Perfection/Glorification. Sanctification is a work of God through His Holy Spirit. Obedience is an act...

    Galatians 5

    [Matthew 5:19 NLT] 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God's laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. [1 John 2:1 NLT] 1 My dear children, I am writing...

    Galatians 5

    The “Elect” will read the warnings and the Holy Spirit will give “ears to hear” so the warning becomes the MEANS that God uses to empower us to persevere. The “Reprobate” will not have “ears to hear” and ignore the warning; serving only to further convict them of their guilt ... the function of...

    Galatians 5

    Romans 8: “those” Philippians 1: “you” John 6: “him” Ephesians 1: “us”, “we” & “you” Philippians 2: “you” Sounds both individual and personal to me.
