    Why I believe in the rapture.

    I'll stop you here, and state that I didn't suggest the millennial Sabbath was for any people, but if you read it again more carefully, I said it would be a rest for the earth. By that I meant the planet... The ground itself... Just as there was a Sabbath every 7 years for the land during...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    I am sure you understand the concept of Sabbath, so I put it to you that your ideas on the millennium are incorrect as the earth will be enjoying it's first millennial Sabbath. It will not be populated, worked, or burdened any longer until it's made anew. There is no scripture supporting your...

    Sola Scriptura

    That's very true. You get 5 witnesses, you get 5 different perspectives. But you know what? Prosecuting attorneys love that. It's the best evidence that they all speaking the truth. If they all agreed, people suspect they connived and made up the story. You know they're lying. It's like...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    In the parable, Jesus starts with... KJV Matthew 25:32-33 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then there's that...

    Sola Scriptura

    Lol. Ask a lawyer. Or a cop. They tell you it's true enough. As far as opinion is concerned, that's what everything outside of scripture is.

    You are Uninvited

    Jesus is good enough for us all.

    Sola Scriptura

    Might I suggest that observation, that is eye witness accounts, is among the best evidence that can be presented in court? FotG had observed your posts, and came to a conclusion. He doesn't need further evidence... Observation itself is the evidence.

    Sola Scriptura

    Great detailed response. But it doesn't actually change anything. The Catholic Church, exercising her perceived authority, changed the solemnity of the Sabbath to the first day of the week, and by doing so, exalted tradition above scripture.

    Really? So what do you think the division between the sheep and the goats is all about, and when does that take place?

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    I'm not disagreeing with your premise, that faith is all that is required. I do have a question however. What is your faith, or your belief in God, accomplishing for God? Because it isn't all about you, and I'm sure you understand that. So what else, apart from your salvation, is your faith in...

    Sola Scriptura

    I didn't consider that a discussion. You just rehashed, regurgitated what was likely Jesuit obfuscation to destroy Protestant theology...which is why you are here, and I have no real interest in spending valuable time going down your endless rabbit trails. Isaiah 8:20 stands alone and is...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    Bro, I agree with you except in one small minute detail. When the apostle said all will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, remember also the he said judgement begins in the house of God. Remember also that when Jesus returns, only the saved are resurrected and translated, therefore...

    Jesus Second Coming

    Jesus is not omnipresent. He is mediating physically in the heavenly sanctuary before the throne of the Father. What we have with us presently is His Spirit. What the nature of the Spirit is we haven't been informed, but He's here to lead is to the physical Christ, to teach us about the Way...

    Fruit. That's the natural result unless one is attached to the wrong vine. But I'm always uncomfortable boasting. However, my testimony I am not shy to share as you suggest, it is all Christ's work in us, not our own doing right?

    Jesus Second Coming

    Great question. Having read only your first post, I shall now proceed to see the answers, which I suspect will be varied, contradictory to one another, off topic, and in some cases unbiblical. What a pessimist I must be. We shall see.

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    Actually, in all my reading of scripture I have come across only one line of thought that prevents salvation. Loss of faith. Unbelief.

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    In addressing the OP...a number of points. No-one can keep themselves sinless...or anyone else. The just shall live by faith We can do all things in Christ. Abiding in the Vine, results in the branch feasting upon the strength and nourishment provided by the Vine. The result of receiving...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    It's interesting that there is only one definition of sin in scripture, although there are a couple of allusions to sin. This is specific... KJV 1 John 3:4 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. These are non specific... KJV James 4:17...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    Are you telling us that all these good works are essential for salvation? I noticed a couple of things quite conspicuous by their absence... Abiding in Jesus, without which all the above would be impossible, and if they were possible, without Jesus would be futile... and faith, through which...
