Yes they do

I gleaned a lot from this. Mainly, why OSAS is such a strong opinion by so many. The real crux of the issue is not loss of salvation, but how important obedience is to the life of the believer. This is where the true divide is. This is why it's so important to be in the Scriptures and not...

Will take a look at these today!

I remember hearing Aretha Franklin singing while I was in my crib. My parents said it didn't happen. But I remember the lyric "I say a little prayer for you." I don't remember the layout of the house I was in.

When you say religion is built on the knowledge of good and evil, can you explain further?

Thanks @farouk! I love that passage too!

Some posts are worth their length in gold :)

What comes to mind is by faith, taking evil thoughts captive (think about the word captive. Its a war term!) And replacing them with truth. The enemy ultimaty wants us to not have faith, so he will target that. But faith extinguishes the fiery darts because God can take evil and work it out...

I'm of the first opinion. I think the Sermon on the Mount applies to the church today. Think about it. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." These are promises for the future but I feel like the blessing starts now. Also, if it were for a future kingdom only, I feel...

@Truman What is your favorite type of music?
