    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    That just blew my mind! It's like these people worship the god of 'Molech' from the Old Testament! :eek: A Kansas woman allegedly attacked a teenage pro-life canvasser when the student knocked on her door Sunday. The student, Grace Hartsock, was going door-to-door to turn out Kansas voters for...

    OSAS Declares Jesus not Enough Not to Sin

    The Bible was translated from Hebrew and Greek into English. Don't forget that and don't buy into the KJV only rhetoric.

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    Now although the Republican party is not perfect by any means, the democratic party has gone waaayyy left! :eek:

    OSAS Declares Jesus not Enough Not to Sin

    Nice diversion. ;) You appear to be very satisfied with what you already believe and don't want to be confused with the facts. Got it.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    What you miss is that there are make believers mixed in with the group. All throughout the book of Hebrews we see this: Hebrews 3:14 - For we have become [past tense Gk. verb, gegonamen, meaning we have become already] partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence...

    OSAS Declares Jesus not Enough Not to Sin

    I'll be more happy to thoroughly explain it for you. In regards to Hebrews 10:26, To "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The writer of Hebrews is not a Christ rejecting Hebrew, but we can't say the same for Hebrew "nominal" Christians mixed in with the group of genuine Hebrew Christians. Not everyone in a large group of professing Christians is a genuine Christian. Hence, the warning. In regards to Hebrews 10:26...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    So you blame the OSAS gang on Christian Chat for getting you banned from that site? It's no wonder you relentlessly attack OSAS believers on this site. The same may go for Bible Highlighter as well. You both have a chip on your shoulder towards the OSAS crowd.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Amen! Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I see that you are only concerned in keeping with your anti-OSAS narrative. Matthew 7:21 - Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. John 6:40 - For my Father's will is that everyone who looks...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    He has not met God's perfect, holy standard (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10) and neither has anyone else except for Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 4:15)

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I see that you choose to ignore the context (Matthew 7:15-23) because it doesn't fit your narrative.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If Jesus never knew them, then they never knew Him as well. In context, the discussion focuses on false prophets. (Matthew 7:15-23) Jesus did not confirm the claims of these 'pseudo' Christians. There are false prophets who prophecy in the name of Jesus and even make false prophecies. Also...

    Is Jesus the End of the Law?

    The present tense of the word "justified" implies that these Galatians were contemplating justification by the law. They were getting side tracked by legalistic teachers. "You who are trying to be justified by the law have fallen away from grace," but had they fully come to that place yet...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Jesus never knew them which means they were never saved (vs. 23) so their sins remained. In the eyes of God, no faith, no imputed righteousness, only filthy rags. Hence, ye that work iniquity.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You forgot to highlight the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God in 1 Corinthians 6:9. It's the unrighteous who practice such sins and not the righteous. (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 John 3:9) Such were some of you while in their unrighteous state BUT you were washed, but you were...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Amen! That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works "neither at the front door or the back door" (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human PRIDE will not allow works-salvationists to trust in Jesus Christ...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Type 2 works salvation is a term that simply describes the belief that salvation is "maintained by works" which you obviously teach and is a distortion of the grace of God. (Romans 3:24; 5:1-2; 15-18; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..). It's you who tries to make yourself look like an...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Your "initial" salvation nonsense culminates in "type 2 works salvation" which is not Biblical. So believing is a work? Faith is a work? Everything is a work according to your erroneous theology. You might as well not even call faith faith and works works. You basically wrap both faith and works...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You are hung up on a lie. From beginning to end salvation is through faith and is not by works. (Ephesians 2:8; 1 Peter 1:9) Paul does not turn sanctification or holy living into "type 2 works salvation" as you do. In 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul says - But we are bound to give thanks to God...
