    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    @Episkopos: Context is also highly important as well. Sometimes as human beings we will decide to systematically choose who verses work all while at the same time, corrupting the narrative and context; of who, why, what, when, where, how. That is always the danger for sure. Today, I believe...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    More scripture pertaining to unbelief. === while people can believe and choose to have faith (that doesn't mean they can not start to have doubt, or become unbelieving) That is why it is good to encourage in the Lord every day, and not harden ones own heart and allow the spirit of disbelief to...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    This is true. People can leave the faith... now it may be they believed however they lost interest and instead chased other things.... Just look at Jesus and his parable - After hearing the Parable the Disciples later one when they are alone explains it to them. Matthew 13 New Living...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Once saved always saved is a lie. There is no "truth or error" in it. Best read the bible. There is no verse that says you can't allow the spirit to move on from you if you choose to. There is no verse that says "You are born again forever more." All there is that "Jesus Christ will baptize...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Sorry amigo, people who are born again; that is great. However, they can leave the faith if they want to. God doesn't mystically make you stay in the faith. That is a lie... you must choose "this day whom you will serve."

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Sorry. I disagree with you Marks. You already claimed man doesn't have freewill, and that is okay. To continue to assume that once saved always saved is true, is to continue to call Jesus Christ a liar. However you assumed that Jesus is talking about you when you quote verses (which is fine)...

    Turn the other cheek

    More good insights. All that is known to me is, Our human nature is to strike back when someone does us wrong. To win one over all them. Jesus denied himself, for the benefit of all of us - in which now people have to choose to remain in him, and deny themselves. Hard things to do. Paul...

    Turn the other cheek

    Always good to be honest before God. All people are a slave to sin and do things for themselves rather than God - when they are not abiding in the teachings of Christ. It's a wonderful know the enriching love that comes from God to be open with him about our issues and even asking him to help...

    Even after Jesus Christ, death, resurrection, and ascension. The 12 tribes all assembled in Jerusalem during the feasts.

    Prayer for dealing with my poor situation

    Even though times can be rough and difficult, it's understandable that you would feel hopeless and doubtful to some degree. While prayer is a great help, even being honest with God about your situation, be encouraged. Look to the solution, the Lord Jesus and perhaps if you allow him: he can fill...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Just as well as the Revelation speaks of the doing away with Satan. The whole of the context and narrative of the Bible needs to be taken into consideration. Satan for the longest time was the prince of the world and held 'the title deed to earth', eventually due to the coming of the Lord...

    Proverbs

    Proverbs 10 New Living Translation The Proverbs of Solomon 10 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise child[a] brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother. 2 Tainted wealth has no lasting value, but right living can save your life. 3 The Lord will not let the godly go...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    That would be the heart, friend. Why would you think it means all that? It just means - work out your own salvation. Simple. Work it out yourself, by what? Learning about God, and his Son. Getting your priorities straight, (putting God first). Even as a person who is a slave to sin - when you...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Im not into humanism, philosophy. While humans can do good things, that does not mean they do it for the right reasons.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Once saved always saved is a myth. A factitious lie.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    People shouldn't be lied too. I hate that, but alas, people lied about Jesus, and tried to get him in trouble didn't they. Choice. Get that man out of here, no way we let him rule over us. They were not "willing" Lament over Jerusalem 37 k“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that lkills the...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Jesus called the sons of Zebddee, come follow me and ill make you fishers of men, and they dropped their nets and went.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    So Jesus chose his chosen apostles, they didn't choose him. He went out and picked 12 people, then eventually picked Paul.
