The letter of Hebrews serves a purpose. Do not draw back to perdition but believe to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:39) If OSAS was not true, then Hebrews 10:10 and Hebrews 10:14 serves no purpose. Psalm 37:28 - For the Lord loves justice and does not forsake His saints; They are preserved...

The truth from posts #19 and #75 still stand in spite of your eisegesis.

I noticed the hesitation as well.

Amen! SAYS/CLAIMS to have faith but has no works.. is the key word in James 2:14 which clarifies the context.

Sometimes when I tag a post the one who said it doesn't always come up in my post. I did not catch that at first. Thanks for bringing it up. I did just now "add HIM said" to the post. I was not trying to be deceptive, sneaky or disrespectful.

The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of...

We will always have free will yet genuine believers are new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) who have received the love of God in their hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to them. (Romans 5:5) Show me the words "quit believing" and "lost salvation" in the Bible. For me to decide to...

What do you mean make up? Not all belief is the same. In Luke 8:13, we read about seed that fell on shallow ground and the person is said to have "believed," yet he is never said to have been "saved." How do we know that the shallow ground hearer was never actually "saved"? I will explain the...

After being steeped in Catholicism I'm sure that James had a difficult time sorting everything out at first. I have no problem with James and in spite of popular belief by works-salvationists, James does not teach that we are saved by works. Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans...

Amen! Progress. For indeed the gospel was preached to US as well as to THEM; but the word which THEY heard did not profit THEM, not being mixed with faith in THOSE who heard it. The demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God" (James 2:19) but they do not believe on the Lord Jesus...

Exactly! Now does that mean they were never there with believers? Even "professing" to be believers themselves?

Yes, I did. I have found that ALL false religions and cults which promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS which has always been a major red flag for me. Hebrews 3:8-10 says, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested...

So, you draw no distinction between the wheat and the tares? (Matthew 24:24-30) You draw no distinction between genuine brethren and false brethren? (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 2:4) You draw no distinction between those who are truly His disciples and those who are not? (John 6:64-66; 8:31)...

There is no oxymoron between "professing" believers and "genuine believers." There are those who simply "profess" but do not possess. So, you don't believe there are "professing" Christians (nominal Christians) in scripture who are not genuine believers? You would have to be very naive to...

Describe to me what YOU believe constitutes a genuine believer. What exactly must we believe to be saved? What are examples of things believed by "nominal" Christians which fall short of saving belief?

All the letters in the NT written by Paul are TO believers, yet that still does not mean that EVERYONE mixed in with a group of "professing" believers are all genuine believers. Continuing in his kindness confirms they were saved. The lost do not continue. Romans 11:23 And they also, if they do...

You said I "failed so miserably in my rendition of Hebrews 6:4-6" and that "my interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 is truly pathetic." That is lashing out. You also have no rebuttal to my thorough explanations. Just insults. You need to go back and read post #19 slowly and carefully and allow some...

Your point is that believers were cut off and lost their salvation which is not Paul's point. The Israelites were the natural branches and it was not because they were all saved. Paul says Gentiles (plural) and not Gentile (singular). Has God cast away His people? Certainly not! (vs. 1) I say...
