    Have an addiction to McDonald's? You are like me!

    I still like their breakfast but after covid their menu for lunch and dinner shrunk too much. I miss their premium grilled chicken sandwiches.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You remind me of a slanderous lawyer who is out to win his case against OSAS believers at all costs. Whatever it takes! Not everyone who professes to be a disciple of Christ truly is His disciple. In John 8:31, we read - "So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I'm a OSAS believer and I say no. That kind of faith cannot save him. Key word "claims" to have faith. In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So when James asks, "Can that...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    In regard to Matthew 10:32-33, in context, this passage relates to the fact that the Pharisees had continuously denied Jesus while the disciples continued to speak about Him in every city they visited. We might paraphrase His teaching this way: "Whoever confesses me before men (such as you...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    All believers have a true understanding of the gospel yet none of us perfectly understood everything. Type 1 works salvation means initially saved by faith and works and type 2 works salvation means initially saved by faith, not works, then ultimately saved by works/salvation maintained by...

    We already went over this. You sound like a robot.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, 1 John 1:9 is truth as I already thoroughly explained to you in posts #1,052 and #1,053. Go back and read my posts again and don't forget to read 1 John 1:9 in contrast with 1 John 1:8 and 1 John 1:10 this time. Jesus is the propitiation for our sins (Romans 3:24-28) and not inventory...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Amen! Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-26) *Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of...

    What's the scoop?

    Those who are truly born of God are partakers of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4) They have been transformed from pigs and dogs into sheep. The change is more than just cosmetic, as in 2 Peter 2:20. These cleaned up on the outside dogs and pigs were never sheep. Compare 2 Peter 1:4 - "partakers...

    What's the scoop?

    Amen! If we truly are saved and the Holy Spirit dwells within us there will be a change in our heart and life. As a result, we will grow in the Lord (some faster than others) and we will produce fruit (some more than others). sml

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I have already posted the clear words of scripture in post #519 (but the truth just continues to go right over your head) and I have also properly harmonized scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. These two distinct different walks in Romans 8 are not both lifestyles...

    "Once Save Always Saved" is Unorthodox Doctrine

    Still no rebuttal and more trolling. Not everyone who disagrees with me is a troll, but you certainly have all the characteristics of a childish troll.

    "Once Save Always Saved" is Unorthodox Doctrine

    Just as I thought. No rebuttal. Just more trolling.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    False. I already thoroughly explained this in post #519.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Saved and justified by disobedience is a straw man argument. I never said anything about that. In regard to Hebrews 5:9, who obeys Him? The saved or the lost? I often hear works-salvationists cite this verse in their effort to support salvation by works. Only believers have obeyed Him by...

    "Once Save Always Saved" is Unorthodox Doctrine

    ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS which remains a major red flag for me.
