    Blacks for Trump

    Was it Joseph Stalin who said, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything?"

    The Case for Eternal Security

    One thing that I've learned over the years as a member of various Christian forum sites is that t's impossible to prove anything theologically to someone whose mind is already made up.

    The Case for Eternal Security

    I was looking for chapter and verse from him to back up his argument. Some people try to use Matthew 7:22-23 yet Jesus said He never knew these many people which means they were never saved.

    The Case for Eternal Security

    You believe that many Christians willfully sin per Hebrews 10:26?

    The Case for Eternal Security

    Many Christians do that? Chapter and verse please. There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers mixed together throughout various churches and on various Christian forum sites. Elsewhere in the book of Hebrews 4:1-2...

    The Case for Eternal Security

    Nowhere in the context does it specifically say the person who "trampled underfoot the Son of God and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant" was "saved" and/or "lost their salvation." By the time we get down to verse 39, we see that the writer of Hebrews sets up a CONTRAST that makes...

    The Case for Eternal Security

    In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Only God infallibly knows the hearts of men. Certain people "on the surface" may do a good job of looking like the real deal for a while (like Judas Iscariot, who was an unbelieving, unclean devil who betrayed Jesus - John 6:64-71; 13:10-11) yet to the other 11 disciples, he looked like the real...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Fear and bondage to IN-security is no way to live the Christian life. Prior to my conversion while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I had absolutely no assurance of salvation, believed in NOSAS and was miserable! After my conversion, I got off that roller coaster ride of fear and...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    I don't see the words "jump ship" in John 10:27-28. In John 10:27-28, we read - My sheep hear My voice, (not some of them hear His voice and some of them don't hear His voice) and I know them, (not some of them He knows and some of them He doesn't know) and they follow Me. (not some of them...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    We must not confuse 'descriptive' passages of scripture with 'prescriptive' passages of scripture. The end result culminates in salvation by works. There are also multiple passages of scripture that support eternal security of the believer. We need to properly harmonize scripture with scripture...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Inherent in the idea of tasting is the fact that one might or might not decide to accept what is tasted. For example, the same Greek word (geuomai) is used in Matthew 27:34 to say that those crucifying Jesus "offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Notice in Philippians 2:12 that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and NOT "work for" your salvation. When we "work out" at the gym, we exercise to develop our body that we already have and not to get a body. Farmers "work out" the land, not in order to get the land, but to develop the land...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Romans 8:29 - For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. ALL...

    Yesterday - Supreme Court to hear Trump ballot case that could upend 2024 presidential election

    Sad, but true. This is the direction America is heading. I will never forget back when the Mar-a-Lago fiasco was going on. The news crew interviewed some of the crowd witnessing the aftermath of the raid of Trump's house and one woman in the crowd who had escaped from Venezuela and is now an...
