This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. You are taking a bad reading of a verse to mean what you want it to mean. The Greek in that verse in Hebrews means...into forever....into eternity...them that are sanctified (made holy). So this verse is not about what you are twisting the meaning...

Obviously it can be. And you are definitely confused on the matter...as a case in point. There is no such thing as a "positional" sanctification. That is an invention of religious men who seek to take away the attributes of God for themselves with the flick of a pen. God is holy and they who...

But what is that experience that negates the bible? Explain where you get the feeling that sins are no longer an issue. Where do you get the wages of sin being other than death...a separation from God?

For you in your conceit the wages of sin...is salvation. How can you not be fully deceived? The truth doesn't magically change because it is trying to be fitted into a self-serving culture.

I do hear the denominational slant in your posts with such things as a saved status. The church in our time has replaced Christ-likeness for a saved status....since it cannot even compete with other religious in the meekness category. So then the slogan goes...good people go to hell (like those...

You have a skewed view of salvation. Final salvation is after we die and will be judged. Then all the weeping and anger won't change the verdict. All the naming and claiming will fail. A salvation in this life is a continuance of life. But the kind of salvation you are referring to is...

The Jews have an understanding of righteousness and holiness that is far beyond what most Christians can perceive. Of course it shouldn't be that way. But then the church needed to shift it's emphasis away from Christ-likeness as a goal since many other religions are superior to Christendom...

Now there is a kind of believer that has a righteous soul...an outlook that champions love above all else...but has a great difficulty with the holiness requirements of God. Things like having to hate your family or forsake what you love in order to follow Christ. These will question the need...

LOL You want me to be a sinner and I want you to have a shot at being a saint. :) Which way is up and which way is down?

Yes the Lord is near to they who call out to Him in our wilderness.

While trying to do our best is good....it isn't the gospel. Paul speaks of being dead to sin...and that it is no longer he that lives but Christ. So unless Jesus is sinning through him then there is no sin possible when we are IN Christ. So then the striving is not to try not sinning....but to...

Everybody does works. Judgment will be of what kind they are. This whole idea that God wants to us to believe without doing anything is as ridiculous as can be. We are not to stand still. Salvation is a kind of walk.

Not at all. That is a religious theory adopted by a denominational (sectarian) group calling itself "evangelical". The salvation IN Christ still needs to be worked out. Few can grasp this today. We have been given ACCESS to God...but very very few will take God up on that invitation. Most will...

Give us this day our daily bread. Manna is to be eaten daily. If you only eat once you don't continue to live. This is the very common error of the modern evangelical stance. It focuses on a transactional checklist salvation scheme invented by men. But salvation is a living process of growth...

OK this is quite clear. And yes...you are seeing it right. Many have been saved into the race...these are the called..although people call themselves "saved" as if the beginning of the race is the end of it. So there is a salvation AWAY from the world...into righteousness. But there is also a...

You are not being careful here. They who believe INTO Him are not condemned...but they who do not believe Him...His words...are condemned. Jesus said to DO His words. Not just be hearers. So you have overblown the power of your beliefs... John 3:36 36 He that believeth INTO the Son hath...

I like watching the Olympic games...especially the winter Olympics. Now few participate but many watch. I'm a watcher...not an athlete. :) The race of faith is like the Olympics. Very few will actually participate. And today not many really care about who is running and winning. Such is the...

This is false. We are indeed justified by works..unto righteousness...and we will ONLY be judged by our works. Our belief system isn't important. No one is going to be judged by what they believe. Where you are getting mixed up is with the high calling of God in Christ which is IN holiness. The...

And when a person takes that justification for himself...we call that self-righteousness. Only God can justify a person. A person must personally be declared justified by a legal entity. The jails are full of people who say they are innocent. The churches are full also of these self-declared...

In the kingdom of God there are no idle rich. They who will rule over you in the next age will have paid the price in this life. There is no easy path to glory. It takes everything you have. The kingdom of God is like a treasure buried in a field. To get it one must sell ALL to buy it. That is...
