Thanks; fixed the reference.

Thanks, @soul !

@2nd Timothy Group FYI....did you see/vote in the poll, above? (Sorry if I've asked you before; forgotten whether I did...)

Matthew 13.20-21: "But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended." I...

@CharismaticLady Thanks. Feel free to record your vote in the poll. Have a nice night.

@CharismaticLady Did you see/vote in the poll, above?

Every believer who is born again - one and the same thing - is indwelt by the Spirit : Romans 8 indeed says, 'If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His'. The Holy Spirit strengthens and keeps every believer, bringing the power of God in preservation and in fulfilling the...

I don't accept that he ever had salvation. What he had was outward and apparent, not inward and rooted in eternity and the work of the Holy Spirit. Personal comments such as you made won't change anything.

In post 455, are you referring to Romans 8.38-39? Jude 24?

Do remind me of what your specific question is; I will try to help.

I am drawing your attention to how I see the person's original lack of true life is expressed. Whether or not you accept this, is not my responsibility. Please specify what you say you require of me.

There was nothing that he was rooted in, in the first place, because he had 'no root'.

I see you still have that intriguing, eerie avatar photo, which is rather good. The light effect is rather striking.

Merits relates to grace. If it's not all of grace, it's not at all.

@Naomi25 In summary, so I guess you certainly didn't try to dissuade her, and were even quietly glad to give her what you call a little nudge to help her on her way to achieve the desired nose stud. Ezekiel 16.12 comes to mind, in a passage seemingly about figurative representations of imputed...
