So then you are saying that people only do good or help other people based on "faith in the finished work on the cross?" So if somebody is in need I can only help them by telling them to have "faith in His finished work on the cross?" Do you think actually helping them is "a false gospel...

We are being saved by grace through faith. There is no done deal at any point in the process. Unless God declares this. Paul is describing how we lay hold of the eternal life....the Jesus kind of life...right now. But it is through many trials and much patience that enter the kingdom in the...

We can follow Jesus from different distances. There were crowds of people that followed Him around. How many times does it say...and multitudes (thousands) followed Him? Of course the disciples who ended up walking IN Him were few. To be IN Him is the closest we can be to Jesus. But there are...

This is awful...and shameful to this forum. I knew this was going to be a racist rant because of who is writing the OP. Was it going to be uplifting and truthful? Of course not. The very opposite. Of course this is all fabrication. God doesn't judge by a person's skin. God looks at the heart...

And you are very blessed to see it like that SBG. :) People try to take Jesus for themselves in an unrighteous way. It's dishonest to claim Him even while disobeying His every word. But these are people who are looking to preserve their own lives...they look at Jesus as a lifeboat on a sinking...

I think there is a responsibility, as a human being in the face of the words from God...to realize just how easy it is to be wrong! Certainty can be achieved in the grossest of errors. Look how certain the Pharisees were. Look how certain the Taliban are. The problem of certainty is especially...

Revelation 22:11 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Can you see a distinction between what Peter calls...scarcely saved...and abundantly saved?

The Parable of the Wedding Feast 22 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to...

Rather than Jesus hiding His people from the truth...he seeks to bring us into the light. Rather than protecting us from a holy God, Jesus seeks to reconcile us with Him. Rather than have us be exempt from judgment, Jesus wants to prepare us to meet the God who will judge us all righteously...

I saw this video once on facebook that sought...very mistakenly...to present how Jesus presents His advocacy of His followers before God. In the video it has certain non-believers being sent to hell no matter what they did...which is false to begin with. Then it has another sinner come up to be...

See you're doing it again...completely disconnected from anything I said...to go into your mind loop... So I leave you to mumble to yourself.

Aspersions? You are constantly misquoting and misrepresenting the arguments that you don't like here. I wish you knew how to dialogue. But you are indoctrinated by human means so you can't receive anything that doesn't already line up with your previous conditioning. The bible can't even cut...

Please...we are to STRIVE (very strenuous work) to enter into His rest. Heb' 4:11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. So we have 2 opposite sounding polarities in the same sentence. But the truth is...

...or at least to begin our walks. If we are faithful with what we have been given, we will be given more. That is the way of the kingdom of God. Many have not really begun their walks...because they think it's wrong to go beyond ONE step. Such is the winds of doctrine... Love is...

Ask yourself...why am I on this thread? Do I care about the OP? Do I have any fear of the Lord at all? Do I have a personal axe to grind? or... ask yourself... Am I here to take eyes off the Lord and onto me? Get to know yourself...

Can you say...Jesus plus "something?" :rolleyes:

You are just exposing yourself...even though you don't like to be so exposed. Your own smear tactics will just backfire on you.

Grace is given as a reward for the works of faith and seeking. Heb' 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

I'll start with this illustration... I see the Christian walk like driving a car from point A to point B. We get a filling of the Spirit at a fill-up station. And we are meant to go to the next point for the next fill-up. So we are given just enough gas to get there in a straight line. But...
