    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Oooops. I thought that meant other FALSE gods. I do believe there is only one God. You're very insulting CS. You do not live the faith the propose to "teach". Terrible that God made us knowing we would turn to ........that word you had in mind. Why did God even make us? I'm such a silly...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    YOU stated that names cannot be removed from the book of life. I gave a sufficient number of verses to show that it can. Apparently you don't understand the difference between sinning and living a life of sin. And how about commenting on the other verses stating plainly that a name could be...

    GNOSTIC GUESSING GAME

    I keep hearing from them that they teach from the bible. Correct. The New World Translation. With just a few "minor" changes. Calvinists are always so proud to state that one of the ECFs believed in predestination. Right. Augustine....who was previously a gnostic and brought some of his ideas...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I thought there was only one God. Apparently not since your God doesn't even love His best creation MAN. In Genesis God said everything He made was GOOD. Genesis 1:18, 25 When He made man, God said he was VERY GOOD. Genesis 1:31 So, either God was lying.... or you're wrong.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    The parables were given to everyone that cared to listen, hear, and believe in what Jesus was teaching. Maybe you remember that some left Jesus and the disciples in John 6 because Jesus was teaching something hard to believe... SO 1. Either they FELL AWAY from their faith. or 2. They were...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I'm afraid EG that YOU are the one that does not trust God... and does not understand what the NT is trying to tell you. Because you refuse to go where the road leads you. I know, it's a scary trip but one that should be taken. Afraid to learn something new? This means you're not 100%...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Right on. Simple church history. Why won't some LEARN church history? It's too UNCOMFORTABLE would be my guess. Better to stick to incorrect doctrine because the writers of the NT NEVER IMAGINED some would believe what some of these members here believe. It was just not imaginable to them...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    OSAS was never taught in the early church. It was never heard of before the reformation. Jesus, who told us to be perfect as the Father is perfect, and who told us that anyone who teaches to break the commandments would not see heaven... never thought anyone would teach such a doctrine.... If...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    There's no solution EG if we remain within scripture. I could go on forever, but you won't accept what I say and I won't accept what you say. Here is my solution....learning from those that were taught by the Apostels: Here’s some of what the early Christians wrote about losing one’s...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Did God go on vacation and leave YOU in charge? I don't think so. You should refrain from judging the souls of other persons. You sin every time you post. I'd say you have your hands full just being concerned with your own salvation since your understanding of the bible is incredibly confused...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Jesus used metaphoric language to TEACH SOMETHING. And what do you mean by the word again being understood from a human perspective?? The Father in the Prodigal Son said his son WAS DEAD AND HAS COME TO LIFE AGAIN. You can say NO NO NO all you want to but the NT testament says YES YES YES...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    What do you mean BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO? What does that mean? MEN wrote letters that BECAME the Word of God... letters that were chosen by MEN. The same men that you say are not important. So...again... HOW do you know that Jesus resurrected? Again,,,, The bible speaks in an audible...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I went outside of the Word for this reason, which will also apply to all our discussions: You seem to be able to prove OSAS from some verses in scripture. I seem to be able to prove that this is not taught in the NT. In some places it seems as though Jesus is saying WE WILL NEVER PERISH. In...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Because of brainwashing. Parroting. I doubt the other member 1. Doesn't know what justice means. 2. Knows but cannot admit it because they'd have to admit that their belief system causes God to be an unjust God.

    GNOSTIC GUESSING GAME

    Some are here to try to correct. Some to learn. Some to just argue and pass the time of day. But you keep going. Many read but do not post.

    GNOSTIC GUESSING GAME

    Just to add that when John said THEY WENT FROM US BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT OF US, he wasn't speaking about those that "were never really saved ", as some OSAS believers Iike to state... John was speaking about gnostics.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    The above is not for me....but, I'm not a dumb sheep CS. I'm a child of God. The God that LOVES THE WHOLE WORLD... The God that died for me so I could be saved through Him. How great a love does God have for us that He died for us? I do agree with you though, you follow a fearful God... One...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    I know what the other member believes and it's beyond heretical. James 3:1 tells us to think twice before we teach anything because our judgment will be harsher. I take this seriously and those that are preaching a different gospel should be concerned instead of throwing about ideas that are...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    It's bad advice to read the New Testament?? The bible was always available. What do you mean THE VATICAN RELEASED THE BIBLE? Who knows what this priest meant. Did he mean that it's better to keep persons in the dark? Did you give him a good reply to that notion? BUT Look. It turns out he was...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Of course. IF Io ABIDE in Jesus I will be saved. Right now I can know I'm saved because I'M ABIDING in Jesus. When I got saved, I did not lose my free will. This is never addressed by anyone. Care to give it a try? EARN ABIDE TRUST BELIEVE MERIT Well, we won't agree on this. Jesus said we...
