Not if there are verses by Paul, James and Jesus stating otherwise. Sealed in the old days of early Christianity meant baptism. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit in baptism. The early church believed in having to be baptized. Of course I caused it ! Did I not reply YES to God? Would I have...

What about this: " Jesus said this BEFORE the cross" (so it's not valid) I'm so happy that God is a merciful God.

Yeah. The other member is very determined. Maybe too much??!! :csm

Behold knows God. Honestly, these modern fandangled ideas are making me crazy!!

Good to hear. See, this is one of the good deeds I talk about and get push-back all the time. Let's make the world a better place! German choc cake with pecan frosting. Yeah. Bring some over! Does your dad know about the forum? If so, wish him a very happy birthday from me too!

For goodness sake Behold ! This means we could throw out all of what Jesus said. He spoke in farming terms and shepherding terms and goats and sheep and oil running out and masters going away and leaving financial matters and seeds that need to be planted, etc etc So WHICH of Jesus'...

Thanks John. I really appreciate the time you took to write all these last few posts. It's very helpful to me and to keep me quiet....saying what I believe but in respectful and quiet tones. Have a great day! I'm going a a birthday party of a 9 year old in the family. She tells me she loves...

But what are the fine details? Agreed on the 2 Great Commandments. What about posters that flat out say that obedience to God makes no difference... or OSAS....that no matter how we live we will be saved, after 10's of verses stating we can become lost again. What about bapism...is it...

I try to keep it simple. I think we need to know God, in the sense that we know that He exists and we wish to worship/serve HIM and not the enemy. Then I think we need to obey God. I get much push-back on this....telling me that no one can obey God -etc. Well, gosh, I THINK we're supposed to...

:vgood: Good pandaflower. Stick to listening to those that make you feel comfy.

Most likely Hebrews was written by someone close to Paul. Paul might even have been present while it was being written... or even gave it the OK to send off. We tend to think of those times as we would a play or movie. But they were real persons living in a real world. We'll never really know...

All caps means shouting? Since when? Since the internet? But caps were used even BEFORE the internet. Gee. I wonder what CAPS REALLY mean??? IT IS ARGUED? Ooops. there go those caps again. (wonder what they REALLY mean?) Well, we could stop arguing. JESUS said that the USELESS branches...

More yadda yadda. I'm here to discuss theology.... not have a fist fight with you. Keep making those personal remarks. I'm sure everyone is just waiting for your next one. hmmx1:

Good. Because I don't intend to post to you anymore. Too personal. You don't stick to scripture. You twist the words to make them mean what YOU want them to mean. Fellowship? Really? Are you speaking about God or one of your buddies? And you ADD to scripture. You are extremely ignorant of...

Hmmm. The above is what I would have written to you since you didn't even understand what was written. But I wanted to be nice. Apparently, you demonstrate perfectly what those that believe that good works are not necessary do: They are not nice. Because they don't believe it's important to...

So where does the above state that you believe that works save? If I've understood correctly, you believe works have nothing to do with salvation. Which is not what Jesus taught, but it's OK. Many here make up their own religion.

YOU stated that works save?? hlfhlfhlf

Correct. Human nature does not change. And we know the author of Hebrews?

You really need to study the NT and find out what it's saying. Shipwreck does NOT mean loss of salvation? What is a shipwreck K? Is that boat still floating??? And the scripture you've actually posted (surprise, surprise, surprise) is not anywhere close to supporting your point of view....

Well, here is what I posted again, which is what JESUS said...not me. John 14:15 15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. Seems to me you have a problem with Jesus' statement since you keep speaking about it instead of just accepting it. I truly do not care about how you live your...
