I do not deny the uniqueness of Mary... Yet you can read the text for yourself... 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. 30 The angel said to her...

The word "κεχαριτωμένη" in verse 28 is qualified in verse 30 with the word "χάρις" "χάρις" is defined in Louw Nida as----- a favorable attitude toward someone or something—‘favor, good will. In the original form χαριτόω: κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ κύριος μετὰ σοῦ ‘the Lord is with you, you to whom (the...

I do agree, we are lost until we come to Jesus on our knees. Repentance was/is always a part of the gospel. John the Baptist taught repentance, Jesus taught repentance, the apostles taught repentance. Nobody doubts this. The doctrine of OSAS does not speak against repenting or of being lost...

NASB Luke 1:28 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” KJV 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Douay-Rheims 28 And the angel being come in, said unto...

Well again you refuse to comment on topic... and as I have illustrated from all the texts given in this thread all scripture does agree with OSAS. But you do also illustrate my point very well, thank you. Those who are saved, are saved through their entire lives in the sight of God, because...

Now the insults begin... Real Christlike. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to...

So you decide not to comment on the text I posted... and cherry pick some more texts you don't seem to comprehend. Let me explain these ones for you now. 1. The prodigal son was saved! Matthew 23:37 37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How...

I find this very relevant in the babes in Christ. These teachings direct to not follow the path of lawlessness... This pretty much explains it all here. Luke 8:11-15 11 “Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. 12 “Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil...

I might have missed it, but is there even any mention of repentance in the Roman Road?

Hebrews 6:4-8 4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them...

2 Peter 1:10-11 10 Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly...

No you refuse to acknowledge the truth of how context reveals the intent of the author. These lost ones spoken of in the 2 Peter epistle are clearly the false prophets. Do you truly believe God was fooled by the faith of these false prophets then had to remit His HolySpirit? Salvation was/is...

Where in the passage does it say this "but he will not override the wills of any who don't want him." Is there any supporting scripture here either?

There seems to be the belief that someone can walk away from the faith... Again this contradicts scripture. Luke 15:4-6 4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds...

I have seen drummers practice with just sticks! Sometimes they drum on pillows, garbage cans, pots, and other things. Getting a pair of drum sticks might be a great start though!

Perhaps you could substitute your bad habit with some good musical ones. As you feel the temptation pressing you, move to your instrument of chiose... You are going through a difficult period in life as you are growing into maturity. Try to make wise decisions and remove those things that...

Romans 11:22 This context is kindness not salvation. Hebrews 10:26-27 This verse does not speak to lose of salvation in the believer either. You are assuming the one receiving the knowledge of truth is also believing that knowledge onto a salvific faith then turning from it. The author could...

Hebrews 12:1-2 1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith...

Or you have that fact that sin exists in or human experience. Becoming a Christian does not mean you immediately stop sinning all together. The exhortations are to not sin, because that is not Christlike. Also we are called to walk in the Spirit and to live holy. Yet none of this says we can...

Or is it the non-believer realizes they were a non-believer all along.
