Right.... You know people on this forum ask from time to time....How can I tell if I am really saved? After I get passed the disinformation that salvation has nothing to do with you. I say....You decide to believe in Christ as God and Savior and then Acts 2:38 All this changes you....if you are...

Well we are using the acronym but it was not the teaching of Christ or the Apostles or the early Christian writings or a topic in the centuries of Ecumenical Councils....not biblical and not historical. Calvinism is the first thing you can point to and that is the 16th century and that man was nutz!

Here is the deal....it is not my first rodeo. People as whole do not know Koiné Greek...it takes a lot and then when you throw in the Christian Greek it makes it more difficult....the big picture of the Bible is the anchor for understand the scriptures. Because most of the New Testament was...

LOL Don't need one I am well educated in the Greek language, culture, and history. Lifetime of formal education in 5 countries and a $40,000 dollar Library…..Next! Why mess with translations when today you can work with scriptures in their own language. For the rest...the word games do work...

I wonder what kind of Bible you guys read? I know that there is not an OSAS Bible with most of the scriptures lined out.... So it has to be a religion of denial.....of scriptures....and a belief that Christ was somewhere between a liar and a chump and Paul must of got it completely wrong...

Who finds the OSAS belief attractive or true? Like the Jehovah’s Witnesses they are in constant battle with the scriptures, even denying large portions of the Bible. Sola Scriptura out the window. It would be easier for them to write their own Bible like the Jehovah’s Witnesses did. But what is...

No one says that people are saved and then unsaved. But a whole lot of scriptures warn Christians about how they can go to Hell. If not....Heaven would be full of evil. The idea or belief that you can believe in Christ and sin all you want and still go to Heaven is absurd and evil in itself...

That it because it is a fantasy..... But like I said I do have a sense of humor.....The new beliefs have an entertainment value.....if nothing else a good laugh! Especially the ones that are formulated on the premise that if it makes no sense....that is what makes it of God.

Just because I am in a humous mood and I like a good Joke. Are you saying your version of OSAS is the belief that you can do anything and go to Heaven....just because you believe in Christ?

You so funny! LOL It is clear you do not understand what OSAS is about. Christ and Apostles and the Christians that lived before they came up with this would disagree with you. For the rest of what you said....sounds like double....talking out the side of your mouth....talking in circles. Read...

What name calling? Other than that calling it as it is? Truth is the new hate speech. Christianity has always known that salvation is eternal....because Heaven is eternal. But no scripture says evil will abide in Heaven.....Evil goes to Hell. Chrisitanity is a religion of strict morals....that...

It is debates like this that it is helpful to be a Christian historian or even a historian in general. Now a days you have people that say that Christ was not divine or the real Son of Yahweh. Some say there is no eternal fiery Hell. Some do not believe in Judgment Day. Some believe that we...

Well then you know the theme of the movie. Besides losing his daughter, he had issues with his father. Well the part where he is talking to Wisdom, she shows him that this character flaw can go back generations. This sort of thing is hard to fix in their lifetime and if it is going to get fixed...

Is it true? The point is with the religious literary style of the time, in theory people would not have to debate ....just present scriptures from the same Apostle and the scriptures would appear to be debating against each other. The thousands of denominations are part of people picking which...

You need to build a taller soap box! Maybe convert to Judaism? A bag of common sense?

Have you ever seen the movie The Shack?

If I am understanding your post correctly….. You are perplexed or struggling with some of the inconsistencies or apparent contradictions in Christianity. If so I may be able to help with that. The Bible is written in such a fashion that it is easy to not be able to see the forest for the...

Like said it the literary religious style of the times, it is hard to pick up on. You can tell it is a style because everyone back then was using it. It confuses many, so don't feel bad your part of the proud crowd. If you do not understand this literary style and the time period, it is going to...

What you are talking about her is the literary religious style of the time. Where as one person can speak to both extremes of any topic. Is it confusing? Yes. But you see it here on the forum where people are debating and presenting scriptures that seem to support opposite points of view from...

LOL
