The crown of life is not salvation, but salvation and being faithful unto death are necessary in order to attain the prize or reward which is the crown of life. Two different things, one leading to the other, but the 1st thing is to be forgiven of sins past, salvation, then remaining faithful to...

The sabbath has nothing to do with Christianity. The church ane together on the 1st day of the week notbtge sabbath. Anything Jesus said while he was alive was consistent with the OT laws not the NT which started at his death; so his comments you referenced relative to the destruction of the...

Faith alone never has nor ever will save anyone. There's no scriptural support for this. Post scripture not words or thoughts of your own

Preaching and teaching from God's Word and quoting scripture and not offering meaningless personal opinions is NOT of the devil. You're delusional. Go study

Have no clue what you're having a problem with on my response. The point I was making is that sinning after belief is meaningless because belief alone does not save nor does it make you a Christian. However, after you've become a Christian, a believer who has been baptized into Christ, we're...

Is not 100%, as stated, a strong enough indication of my belief?

The words are 100% clear in the bible and likewise I am 100% confident in what I stated is correct and consistent therewith. Read 1st Tim 3 and Titus for qualifications of elders/bishops/overseers. And it can be assumed that Paul always spoke the inspired word of God by commandment, and as...

Paul spoke the inspired word of God and where he took liberty to offer his own thoughts, he so stated such as 1 Cor 7:6; so, in this case Paul was speaking on behalf of God not himself. Regarding the word 'pastor', it's more often than not misused and the meaning misunderstood. A 'pastor' is...

I can't agree with your comment regarding there never being a case where the two, spirit and soul, are ever separated. The bible says the body returns to the earth from whence it came and the Spirit returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it...

The Spirit comes from God that enables the soul to become a conscious, living being. There's not a lot in scripture about either and I choose not to speculate, but Gen 2 gives us a clue as to the nature and origin of the spirit. I'll also repost a short post of mine on this subject, but once...

Also, Spirit and soul, according to Hebrews 4:12, can be divided, so they cannot be one in the same. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of...

For clarification also. The word too in Greek used for "soul" in this passage is psyche, 'soul'. See the interlinear. So, this supports the understanding that everything that has life is a being, a creature with a soul. The soul is not the spirit but rather it's the thing, the creature that has...

Yes. In Lebanon. Read Ezekiel 31.

Animals ARE living souls just as we are. And, Solomon says Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

A saved person (which is not simply a believer) can lose their salvation as the scriptures teach

After belief doesn't matter, but it's rather after becoming a Christian which is not determined by just belief. But even after becoming a Christian, one is still a fleshly being and prone to sin. We don't become perfect upon becoming a Christian.

Emphatically yes for worship services. Scripture supports this for a variety of reasons, 1st and foremost to commune with the Lord by partaking of the Lord's supper.

It wasn't the generation to which he was speaking to, that of his disciples; it was a future generation.

Not a view I personally subscribe to for a variety of reasons
