Don't other Christians understand what happened at the fall? Why do you suppose that calvinists are so far superior in their knowledge of God? Jesus said to be humble in the sermon on the mount...Matthew 5 Are you humble? Or are you proud because God chose You?

How do you know Jesus chose YOU? There is no assurance UNLESS you choose God. You can be sure that YOU chose God... How do you know you're not one of those spoken of in my post? Book 3 Chapter 24 Paragraph 8 You can't be...until the end of your life.

The CC has precana. Counselling BEFORE a marriage takes place. It's pretty extensive too...it lasts a few sessions (maybe not right now with covid). A priest I know that does these lessons told me that most couples have the idea that IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT WE CAN ALWAYS GET DIVORCED. So they're...

No need to get back to you EG. There are 3 types of belief systems: ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED ETERNAL SECURITY PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS Each one means something different... It's too bad not all Christians use the same language to speak to each other. You most probably mean Eternal...

FB You're right that belief and faith in the N.T. is the same... The problem is that there are two types of BELIEVE/BELIEF in the English language. One is a belief of the mind. I can believe that I am going to work tomorrow. This is a mind belief. But when the N.T. speaks of belief, it means...

Taken, There is only one sin that cannot be forgiven... The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. What is that sin? It's the sin of unbelief. Unbelief cannot be forgiven UNLESS one repents and become born from above. We were all unbelievers before we became believers.

Ummmm Calvinists cannot have the assurance that they are really saved until they get to the end of their life. This is because they cannot be absolutely sure that God really chose them. Many of the reformed faith doubt their salvation....

That doesn't really explain what Calvin stated, does it JF? Problem is, calvinism has many doctrinal problems. And I agree with @Cooper the teachings are false.

I agree with you and understood you were saying the above. Sorry if my reply didn't seem so. Yes, OSAS is a trendy, modern doctrine. Let's say that it's not "orthodox". OSAS did not even exist in the early church. I hope I stated this.... :)

Please use scripture. Do you mean that if we work we MERIT salvation? Please give the verse.

Licentiousness is caused by the teaching of OSAS. The sinner's prayer is worthless if it is not followed by a change in life. We must die to ourselves and live for Christ, or there is no sign of being born from above. A spiritual birth shows a change. If there is no change, there is no spiritual...

No F. Those crying out Lord Lord will not make it to heave because of Matthew 7:23 Jesus states clearly WHY they will not make it to heaven. It has nothing to do with false belief. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out...

RD, This is what I posted: Besides this there is a special call which, for the most part, God bestows on believers only, when by the internal illumination of the Spirit he causes the word preached to take deep root in their hearts. Sometimes, however, he communicates it also to those whom he...

The question was specifically about misuse in a marriage. I don't know a verse about this. I know that in the O.T. (the time of Moses) women were misused because their husbands just up and left them with no financial support system.... this is why Moses initiated the Certificate of Divorce...it...

OK Those that cried out Lord, Lord, were lost because they were unlawful... they did NOT do the will of the Father. Whatever the reason is becomes irrelevant. And as to blaspheming the Holy Spirit...look at what you posted above. Can't a person become sorry that they did this and ask for...

Christians get divorced just as much as non-Christians. We all know this. Actually, what Jesus taught is very difficult for me to make peace with. When we speak about marriage I have to state what the bible states...I don't believe we're allowed to have our own opinion about what Jesus spoke...

How to get it?

You like wedding banquets C4M !! :)

I explained what a CHRISTIAN marriage looks like and why it's necessary for our society. I wasn't addressing a dysfunctional marriage. A true Christian marriage should not be dysfunctional. Two persons that love God put Him above all else. They make a good environment for themselves and their...

Two questions taken: 1. WHY will some that cry LORD LORD not make it to heaven? The answer is in Matthew 7:23 (last few words, you posted it above) 2. What is the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit?
