I'm still waiting to be saved. I trust God's will and process.

How can love equal righteousness in the verse you quote? I don't have a world, but my understanding is that love is the very essence of God, since the Bible says, in the plainest terms, that "God is love." None of this is sarcasm, I assure you.

It was sarcasm. And I was talking about your post. Your definition of love is not Biblical. I can't believe I'm having to explain this.

You mean if we were willing to die for each other. Rhetorical question: Who all would you/we be willing to die for outside of our circle of loved ones?

Oh, I see. He started it. Not you. Well, that'll probably help out at the principal's office. Why would a Christian need good luck?

Biblical definitions not welcome here.

So you would place your reasoning powers above those of the Holy Spirit as revealed through the writer of Hebrews.

Which is so edifying. Thank you. Wishing another believer good luck--how charitable.

Oh, well, if you utterly disagree then perhaps I should re-evaluate my position. Give me a break. Exaggerate; twist; repeat. I get it. And now you need a denominational target. Doesn't it bother you to be so predictable? The OT Sanctuary service was an illustration of the atonement process. Any...

No Bible, just baloney. Figures.

I hope you didn't exert too much effort on my account. I spent 18 years in the OSAS camp, and it was no small feat to rescue me from it. But for 30 years now, I've been alive in Christ by my own free will, and I've heard and read every proof text and rationalization by the eternal security...

Easy for you to say, but not for the Bible, eh?

I have been born again but being saved is a process, not a singular event. I'm still here. I've been justified, I am being sanctified, I have not yet been glorified. So the short answer is although I am a born-again Christian, I have only been "saved" from the helplessness of sin. I know from...

The church is Israel now, futurism notwithstanding.

Snore. Forever means forever unless it comes to covenants, even though He speaks of the Everlasting covenant. And the slicing and dicing of the Word continues.

Who could've seen that coming? Jesus seems to have expected Nicodemus to understand the new birth from the Old Testament, dispensationalism (which is truly not in the Bible) notwithstanding. What difference would it make anyway if you couldn't find a specific English word in the Bible? There are...

The underlying questions in this endless debate are: What constitutes backsliding and how does it affect salvation? Why don't we just address the real questions?

The Bible is the Bible--there are no "advanced" books. The way most people interpret Galatians, I'd say Revelation is easier.

And out come the usual false accusations of straw men. We're off to the races. Everything that follows will be exaggerated and twisted. Sandbox City
