    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I'm not familiar with that concept in Scripture. Could you expand a little? :)

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    It appears to me that Enoch figured out how to overcome sin completely, if not virtually. I believe if a person walks closely enough with God, they will become completely like Him in character. I've had some phases where I was much closer than I am now. Of course, all is of Grace and all glory...

    Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

    But I thought God had no obligation to anything. That's a recurring theme in the Bible, isn't it? Wouldn't obligation negate grace? :)

    I don't understand. Perhaps we should have a private discussion about it, if you care to. I would like to add that I have more assurance of salvation now, as a classical Arminian than I ever had under the eternal security doctrine. It's very simple, actually. Whereas I now feel that my...

    Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

    See, now this is where everything always goes sideways (great post overall, btw). I honestly don't think anyone on this thread believes that good works are meritorious toward salvation. I think the argument is that a person who has been converted or born again will, throughout their life, tend...

    I'm sorry--in what, exactly? :)

    Now I'm an ecumenist. If you only knew... Please show me from the Bible where this is distinctly taught. And who is "us?" I consider you a friend and brother, but I'm not sure exactly how to draw a clear distinction between "us and them." I'm quite certain I have beliefs that would qualify me as...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    We are not communicating on any level. I wish you the best.

    @Addy @marks @Blood Bought 1953 @Ferris Bueller @Grailhunter @NewMusic @amigo de christo @Michiah-Imla @charity @Christophany For what it's worth, I don't subscribe to the doctrine of eternal security. I don't believe the Bible teaches it. However, I believe that people who profess...

    If people appear to love Jesus fervently, I assume their conduct is sincere and they are likely born again, barring some mental illness or drug problem. :) We've been down this road before. I don't wish to contend. :) Bless you, my friend. :);):cool::D

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    You've got more than one angel? I'm jealous. I always thought I only had one but what do I know? lol

    Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

    Well, the short and sweet of it is that I believe when Christ says "no man" he actually means "no other man." How could they snatch themselves--they would have to wriggle or jump out, wouldn't they? I don't believe He would force someone to go to Heaven if it would be torture to them. I have...

    I don't think you follow all darkness and satan. :)

    @Addy You're much too kind. Not I, but Christ. :)

    @Ferris Bueller I'm also assuming that you're not quite as worried about what a post reads like to the person you're quoting as it does to any uninitiated onlookers. Please forgive me if I'm presuming too much. :)
