"The best example is the terminally ill whose future is guaranteed to be filled with indignity and suffering. Modern medicine may dull the pain but it does not remove the dehumanizing, the loss of dignity in such cases." This is a good example, when God say's our time is up and our life is...

This doctrine has caused many to doubt their salvation. If Adam ushered in the sin nature where as ALL are born with depravity (which I do believe), then what happened to the "all people" under Christ are offered the gift? Seems like a double standard to me. Romans 5:14 "1 Corinthians 15:21-22...

Hi Wrangler, I see what you are saying but, our lives do not belong to us, they belong to God IMHO. On the other hand, there are people who take their lives because they fell into despair and are not thinking clearly as they end their lives.

No, I won't use scripture ( :IDK: ) as I have already posted plenty of it showing that God gives the gift of Christ freely. Why would He do this if He thought we should NOT accept this free gift from God Almighty??! Sorry but, I will not be reading your bloviating posts any more...

Not at all "making it a condition to be saved". But Jesus did tell all people to repent and be baptized...not to do so would be disobedience.

Okay then. According to your logic, repentance and baptism, are all works of the flesh in order to receive salvation?

So, you choose to refuse a gift from God Himself? Why would He offer this salvation through Christ if He condemns it? He does not tempt anyone so, explain to me please why you would shun this gift? John 4:10 "Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who...

o_O There IS no salvation without receiving the gift of Christ freely offered us from The Father.

When a gift is offered, it is not a gift if refused. That's just common sense. And accepting a gift is NOT works! We receive many gifts from the Lord every day and never question it, but we (should) receive it with gratitude. Food, water, clothes, shelter, air, trees, lovely seas, creeks and...

The Lord has seen fit to heal me of migraines. First one I had I was about 6 years old. I was prone to many regular headaches but as I grew older they increased, right into my 40's. The meds the doctors gave me back then gave me heart pain so I found myself between a rock and a hard place...

Migraines are horrid! Praying for Mr. Duck. pryw

I love that prayer covering on you Sissy!! xoxo

There is a book that speaks good info on the "early church fathers" starting with Polycarp. The title is "Will The Real Heretics Please Stand Up". It is very good IMHO. Though, maybe you already know this information...

Much agreed Fran, I think it takes time to tests the fruit of others over a period of time. If consistent in their behavior long enough, then I'm apt to give them a chance. Other than that, not sure we even can know who has the Truth.

This thread is now closed to further replies.

That is one I cannot explain. So many differing views I kind of gave up on trying to understand. I do "think" it has to do with His timing and that nobody knows the day or hour of His return, all things will be as in the days of Noah.

No we are not appointed to the wrath of God, but we sure ARE appointed to Satans persecution...nobody will escape that either and only true Christians with rock solid faith will be carried through by the seal of the Holy Spirit.

Praying for Pinki. She is in a dark place I know well. I hope she is not alone, she needs family and friends now more than ever! prywprywpryw

The verses seem pretty straight forward. God saves us by grace through the gift of faith that is offered ALL people, unto salvation.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Titus 2:11 "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people"
