Good works are a byproduct of being saved. To me, obedience is a huge part OF good works in His name. Belief in what He did for us and FAITH IN IT is what saves us. The rest WILL follow NATURALLY-IF one truly has received His offering-free gift-salvation. And, one has to receive a gift, no?

Is not one of the Holy Spirits roles to convict sinners of their sin? If one is honest with and agrees with God that they ARE sinners and CANNOT save themselves-which is ludicrous- and that they are in need of a Savior? When God opens our eyes, we cannot help but see His truth...and the more...

Can that one please be another thread? lol

"just try mentioning any other Scripture and see what happens" I will take a pass on that one, not up to any silly debates ;)

In my own studies and teachings, Jesus indeed DID shed His blood for the remission of the sins of the WHOLE world. And, His sacrifice is a FREE gift for all who believe on Him and what He did. So, in that sense, the "whole world" will not "receive" the gift freely given. So by default, their...

I think one would have to be quite the spiritual contortionist to believe ANY of that stuff. Wow...so, an angel dies for humans but, not for angels... :rolleyes: God requires PERFECTION, an angel is NOT PERFECT and NOT HUMAN. Jesus HAD to be God as He WAS perfect and from eternity past. God...

4 years ago, this coming December 15th will mark the last day of my work life. My walk with our Abba, was not where it should have been. I knew it was not but I also had been feeling His pull. After 43 solid years of working to keep myself above water, I found myself in the deepest of...

Last summer, a friend and myself were sitting on my porch. It was a beautiful day with few clouds. I started to notice clouds forming what looked like an E. It became a perfect capital E. then, a V was formed to the left of the E, a PERFECT V and E...same size, not cloud connection. It...

In my town, they just 2 weeks ago closed my favorite thrift store, I have been going there for decades as, the selections and prices were right up my alley.. I have never gotten so many compliments wearing used clothes than I ever did with "new" clothes. NOT that I'm looking for compliments...

So , what happens to those Christians/Jews who have no choice BUT to work on Saturdays? Ya know, like a gazillion healthcare workers, bus drivers, cooks etc? Are they to just quit their jobs?

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, "without calculation". Not for selfish reasons expecting nothing in return, nor for the glory of men. Humility for reals! "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." James 4:10 "Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in...

:D

1Peter1: 15 "but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Shebna was tossed from office as per God because he skimmed/stole the kings stuff. Then God calls Eliakim [his name means God establishes] to take his place. He would be the father of descendants of Jerusalem and the house of Judah. I read he is a "type" of messiah, had the key of David. Is...

Well, to me and Merriam Webster, lol, "immortal" simply means exempt from death. Humans are not exempt from physical death. "Eternity" is a whole different state of existence...immeasurable...there is no "time" so to speak. How can we know the ways of God?? If we did...He wouldn't be God now...

"Eternal It is used as an adjective and a noun. When used as adjective, it means, “without beginning or end, always existing, lasting forever.” For example, “Hindus believe in an eternal soul. The soul is neither created nor destroyed.” Ceaseless, endless, perpetual. For example, ”She is...

Agreed with all...except my belief on "eternal" We recently had a sermon on how HUGE God is. It started out with His being eternal meaning, He had no beginning and has no end. From what I got from the sermon is that we, who are saved will live as an everlasting being cause WE did have a...

"Anyway, is it worth all this thinking?" I suppose not, as nothing we can do about it anyhow...unless you want red dye for something?? Lol...and yeah, as far as "their worm", I dunno...bad ungodly people will never run out? So, the worm won't starve? HA! Yeah, is what it is GG.

Rollo is modest just as Shirley Temple was shy... :D
