I'm sorry PM, Is Zachary saying we could sin all we want to? That's not what I understood.... Are you serious that those verses you stated are mistranslations? I can't tell!

I have heard of this happening actually. The Holy Spirit convicts.

Sounds good. Now if you would just end it here....

Right, Gnostics believed knowledge saved them... a special knowledge that only they had. And NOT Jesus... This is a heresy and is almost blasheming the Holy Spirit... since it assigns that those who do not understand Him properly, will perish.

You're right H. No matter what doctrine you believe, you will be saved by your trust in Jesus. If doctrine is what saves....the N.T. should have been 100% clear...which it is not... And Jesus should have left a lot of written requirements, which would have amounted to going backwards back to the...

Your above verses DO NOT have anything to do with sanctification.... which is a cooperative effort between man and God. We'll go through your verses. Philippians 1:6 Certainly. God will finish the work He began in us. If we are IN CHRIST. You do understand the concept of remaining IN CHRIST...

Could you please explain to me the difference between OUR OWN WORKS and those works of God? I'm talking, naturally, about a person that is saved. (as we know, unsaved persons can work all they want to and that will not get them saved). IOW,,, what does "If it is just what I'm doing, well, we...

You know Aspen,,,I agree with you. I know a very nice priest here that speaks at every single Mass about love... A couple of my girlfriends (saved) and I can hardly stand it anymore. We KNOW God loves us. We KNOW God is love. We want to know what He expects from us. I don't go to church much...

Just got here A. What do you need to be reconciled? That we're to obey God? Reconciled to what?

True. The New Covenant is an unconditional Covenant.... Everyone can belong to it...you have to do nothing to join it. No Circumcision. No following 613 laws. No dietary requirements. BUT you do have to be IN IT. And God demands obedience at all times. The Mosaic covenant was bi-lateral and...

You're absolutely right. And you're going to know get grief for saying that we have to obey God and follow His ways and be a disciple of Jesus. Those that want to obey are called legalists, those that say obedience is not necessary believe they are the saved ones. Everything today is upside down.

@OzSpen Some here don't even know what the word BEGOTTEN means. But they want to explain the Trinity/Godhead to us. Funny stuff. Read 1534 as to when that poster thinks Jesus was begotten.

Everyone here has the spirit. Does that make them the Holy Spirit? NO! @Bobby Jo IS RIGHT. The Holy Spirit is a person and is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Jesus or the 2nd Person of the Trinity or the SON. The Father is THE FATHER. Are YOU yourself, or are you someone else? Same with the...

You know, Catholics don't read the bible enough. In Protestantism, I sometimes fear that persons are trusting on their bible to save them insead of trusting on Jesus to save them. My story is the same as yours. Not only those that read the bible are saved...although it sure does help. God is...

LOL Good point! But some need MORE FILTERING than others!

That Anderson singer is pretty wild...never seen anything like her. I was even wondering how it's done...except for the shadows (we all know that).

You see...you pull out one sentence and it loses all its meaning. I NEVER do this... I post the entire reply to me and then I post my answer back. How could Jesus not believe in being saved if that's one of the two reasons He came to us? If it doesn't make sense with the rest that I've...

Of course he did.... But I'm not kidding. Must go. Jesus is the inventor of salvation....!

On phone,,,,, can't write. Marking for alerts. Welcome to the club! Jesus didnt know about being saved. He knew about the kingdom.... Also ck out John 5:28 Also judgement on good deeds. Tomorrow.
