Amen

Denial. Trust most certainly is an emotion.

Jesus is not God. A good translation of Colossians 2:9 is You see, all that is God, all His fullness, resides in His body, which corroborates what Truther said. The significance of Jesus raising from the dead is meaningless if he is God. Acts 17:31 tells us God raised the man Jesus and that...

Well, we will have to part company here. Emotion is not the driver in Scripture but I understand your embrace of the feminization of Christian theology. My pastor disagrees with you. I'll side with my Pastor - and Jesus. Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of...

How else could OSAS work? It's not the consequence. It's knowing Sin is separation from God that I do not want. In 2020 I had 5 grandkids born. I yearn to be with them. And I am now! There is no thought about consequences if they are not in my life (separation). The overwhelming thought is to...

Pray for guidance. Let the Spirit lead you into verses of the Word you need to reflect on.

I believe and am saved, so now I can commit every sin under heaven with impunity?!

Leave it to the Savior of the World to turn a symbol of oppression and death into a symbol of hope and eternal life.

Agreed. But trust is not the difference. Trust is an emotion. Faith = Belief + Action. I will say it again. :)

I don't believe that for one second. Sure, it is possible in theory but contradictory in practice.

That is yet another fallacy of the OSAS crowd; the Appeal to Emotion, that we are 'worried' about losing our salvation if we don't embrace OSAS. I just do my best to follow the will of God and ask for forgiveness when I realize I fail.

No. It is bad NOT to be sad and express feeling bad when you do! Let's keep it real. Jesus wept. Do you model him? The female pastor of my church who recently retired, scolded the congregation saying "Don't you dare tell anyone to toughen up! Our God is an emotional God and you should be also...

I pray your FIL recovers from the plague.

While I am OK with saying I know God, I also have to clarify that in no way am I attempting to claim that I know all about God. One thing that remains a mystery to me is God's timing. My wife and I said many times, if it were up to us, Jesus would have already returned by now.

Well, that's bad definition formation. IMO, you equating OSAS with God's faithfulness is a ruse. God always saves provided you accept the life preserver. Just because you accepted the life preserver yesterday in no way affects your current orientation of turning your back on the life preserver...

These are really different topics of conversation: Believing In God Versus Knowing God I still have doubts from time to time My pastor recently said the difference between belief and faith is belief is just words but faith is always tied to action. However, even that is not the same as the...

I never go to the Greek. I speak English.

Can you imagine the enthusiasm to read the entire Bible in 6 weeks.

This amazing story of the Ages. "May you live in interesting times" certainly applies here.

It's telling how no one answered this question.
