I don't see it. How do you reconcile your belief with this verse in Romans? Romans 11:20-21 20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either...

We are to turn over a new leaf. 2 Corinthians 5:17 17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 1 Thessalonians 4:3a 3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; As for not interpreting the NT correctly....this...

Sure I can explain it. As to unbiblical terms...how else are we to speak? Trinity isn't in the bible. Arianism isn't in the bible. Hypostatic...etc. But they're terms we use to understand each other and they ARE found in the NT as concepts. The Holy Spirit can be turned off, like a switch...

As I've said several times now...you're called to love everyone because you should understand that it's the evil one that tries to separate us. Discussing is good, but hating is not. My saying you're not Jesus was not meant to be snide. HE could do what needed to be done. YOU just have to...

I agree with some of what you've written above. Some comments: Persons in the OT were not saved by works...they were saved by faith, just like we are. The New Covenant was NOT to show us that the law could not be kept, as those who think as you do always state. It certainly does show us that...

Whoa. Just fell on this. I do believe judging persons is way beyond your paygrade. We could judge the BEHAVIOR of a person... NOT THEIR SALVATION and state of their soul/spirit. That is for God alone.

I agree with you. I've studied with some Catholic monks in a sanctuary close to me... I asked him one time if we could be sure of our salvation. He answered: As long as we are at the foot of the cross. I think God knows if we're doing the best we can. We do our best, God does the rest. But God...

Do you think there is any danger in believing and espousing this eternal security idea, no matter what. ?? I feel it's a dangerous belief and that it could spread because it seems so easy to just believe. Jesus said to consider our discipleship: Luke 14:27-30 27“Whoever does not carry his...

Like a switch? I really dislike argumentative posts . This has nothing to do with soteriology, which is worthy of debate, so peace to you.

Peace to you too.

You capitalize The Cross. Are you A of G? They do not believe OSAS is true.

Amen to that. To change the world, it is not enough to eliminate evil... It's necessary to let the good enter. @BloodBought 1953 likes songs...here's one: I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could've been any clearer If they wanna make the...

As usual... No verses. What do you do? Bunch them up in the OP and then forget about it?

I agree with your last paragraph. But I do not agree with how you understand James 2:16-17 He's plainly saying that if we don't DO SOMETHING to help our neighbor but just give them our blessing, HOW will this help them? James is saying we MUST DO SOMETHING. What is love all about? If we...

Yes. Of course. But we must also activate the Holy Spirit. Catholics believe in infant baptism. However, not every Catholic is going to heaven. At some point in their adult life they must "activate" the Holy Spirit and live a life for God. Acts 2:38 would confirm the sealing. However, I do...

Hi Pinseeker, We've been through this and we would be repeating. I do want to say that it's rather difficult to discuss anything with the reformed because they don't all agree with each other. It's a little bit like the Protestant faith. I'm really beginning to dislike all the disagreements...

You're not Jesus. When we're told to emmulate Him, the above is not what is meant. You REALLY need to read and understand the NT! Try John 13:35

NO! Eternal life is for who continues to believe. Colossians 1:21-23 21And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond...

Where does it say that? Post the verse or verses please. Here's what I get about good works: 1 John 2:15-17 15Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust...

I explain every verse I post or underline the critical words. If it doesn't make sense to you, you should advise me right away... not in a post like the above where you don't mention the verse I posted that you don't agree with. There are only 2 or 3 verses in the entire bible that are really...
