    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    The pendulum has been swinging from one extreme to another for several hundred years, and such has been the plan of Satan all along. It is s political paradigm based on the philosophy of Hegel, whereby order is brought out of chaos. Hence why most political contests are between just 2 sides...

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    Sorry about the two replies above saying much the same thing. I didn't see the first one, and thought it didn't get posted.

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    Absolutely. Less than 50 years ago the general populace would have been horrified at the angst and vitriol thrown against Christians specifically and Christianity in general by anti Christians today. And government policies, particularly in the areas of marriage, gay pride, abortion, and...

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    A Western hemisphere issue on a massive scale. As above, yes. A threat in two ways. First, to the true gospel. The church is now joining with political power to establish its own righteousness upon society. The true gospel however teaches us that the only righteousness worth having is...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Mmm. The exact same mindset that resulted in the genocidal murder of millions throughout the temporal reign of the papacy during the dark ages. As I stood previously. You do not know Jesus, and you have a serious misapprehension regarding His character.

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    The church today is rightly disturbed regarding social issues. Marriage. Abortion. Gay rights. The secularisation of society. But those things are mere symptoms of a far greater threat to the gospel. The secularisation of the church.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    If you think that God doesn't love you, individually, personally, despite your sin and past, then you haven't met Him. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me". Revelation 3:20 “1...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Wow. I have seldom read such astonishing ignorance of God's character on a Christian forum. Do you not understand that love (God is love 1 John 4:8) and selfishness (God only loves Himself... Christian Soldier) cannot exist together as they are completely contradictory to one another? As for...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Doesn't answer my question. Is your salvation (I am not suggesting God doesn't love you, but His love alone doesn't save you) workout conditions? Yes, God's love is unconditional, which means He still loves those who hate Him and are lost. But is your salvation unconditional? Is it secure if...

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    No one is claiming that obedience to the ten commandments is a means to salvation.

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    Regardless your feelings towards Adventism, it remains a fact that your church accepts the responsibility for changing the day for rest and corporate worship from the 7th day to the first. That change wasn't inspired by scripture, but rather from the church's sense of its own authority. In...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    The above is entirely unjustified. You do not know me, and are judging me arbitrarily upon no evidence whatever. I resist your accusation utterly. Little wonder there are some here wondering where the love is on this forum.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    What interpretation? I merely quoted the scripture, then asked some questions. I made no statement nor offered an opinion. The questions... were in response to your statement...That's why God doesn't love any man. My questions i believe are quite justified.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I will doubt it until such time as God confirms it personally to me. Either way, it won't affect my salvation. And it's importance, whatever it may be, will never exceed the least important truth revealed already in scripture.

    What are we doing?

    We can be assured of our salvation. The apostle John tells us this... “18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. ”1John 3:18,19". We can also know that we...

    What are we doing?

    I don't mind the forum having a statement of faith. But the moment it becomes a standard by which members are judged as being "orthodox", and penalises them for being different, it ceases to be a statement of how the admin understands things up to the present, and becomes a creed which shuts...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    If they don't contradict the scriptures, but are outside them, they may still be dangerous on account of where they may lead. For example, tradition in Catholicism may have seemed in the beginning to be acceptable to the church, but treated warily. However, when the reformers started...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    Is your eternal life so secure that it comes without conditions?

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ” John.3.16 Why did the Father send His Son to die? Why did He permit His Son to become human, suffer, and give His life a ransom for mankind?
