Oh A, Let's not go there. God needs no help with our spiritual birth. All He needs is for us to say YES to His invitation,,,which is for all men. Need verses? John 5:24 1. First we HEAR HIS VOICE. 2. THEN we come to believe in Him. 3. When we believe in Him we get everlasting life. 4. At...

Yes...of course I know this parable well. But I still don't understand the difference.... Those at the table that were acceptable are called guests. But they are not the bride...even though they are the ACCEPTED persons there. Tomorrow I'll go through the entire thread. If you have any other...

And I said that if you want to use John 6:47 you're going to have to explain what BELIEVE means,,,AND at the time that it was used,,,IOW in the Greek. Fact is there is no such verse where Jesus says all we have to do is have faith. He spoke for over 3 years about things to do.

Hi A, As I'm sure you know by now,,,,I'm not much for eschatology. But you bring up a very interesting question.... I've heard others say that some will be the bride and some will be saved but not be a part of the "banquet table". Personally, I don't understand this. The way I understand it...

1. God does not choose. There are no chosen. 2. If the "chosen" are the guests,,, then who is the bride?

Right. The New Covenant is an unconditional covenant. Jesus will be the redeemer of all, whether we want it or not. However, to be a part of the New Covenant we must be IN IT. And Jesus and Paul and the other writers do not disagree on how to be in it. It certainly is NOT by disobeying God...

We are not REWARDED by grace. We are just given what we need. Look into this...it's correct. But we all have ENOUGH GRACE to walk with God.

You know Marks, not everything can be learned from reading the bible. Some things are gathered from scripture and then some light is opened and further revelation is made. NOT new revelation...Jesus is the ultimate and last revelation from God. But we CAN understand better what the N.T...

Two comments: 1. I don't spend my time worrying about works. I think IT'S WRONG to state on an open forum that it's NOT NECESSARY to obey God. Yes it is. 2. The Holy Spirit empowers us to love others as Jesus would want us to do. This love is what causes us to do the good works....which are...

Hi SG, Actually this is a very important concept in Christianity. Well said. If we need more grace we are given more grace. Why give more grace to one that does't even use what he has? Hebrews 4:16 2 Peter 1:2 1 Peter 4:10 .......

LOL Maybe YOU could overcome your insulting posts?

Wow. You thought I was ignorant. Thanks. JUST wow. What more needs to be said....

I'm not running. Here I stand. And stand firm I will. But I have no desire to speak to you... Who is what you accuse ME of being. Typical.

Actually, theologians DO AGREE that the keys were given to PETER. This is plain to understand from just reading the verses. As to Peter being the rock there is some question. Theologians even speak about the POSITION of Jesus and Peter when this conversation was taking place. Peter was very...

You don't have to apologize for anything. I'm here to talk. If I didn't want to be here I wouldn't be. I'll confirm all you've said by repeating: 1. Yes. We are saved by God's grace through the instrument of faith. 2. The saved person will show a pattern of good works as the bible...

Scott A is the big expert here. He knows everything. Even what God speaks.

It's right here for everyone to see. It makes Jesus' sacrifice on the cross of no effect on those that believe as you do. And again you improperly interpret 1 cor 3. The Covenants are made by God...not by me.

You see Lady C, You were insulted for some strange reason in my last post to you.... whereas YOU have been insulting me telling me that I'm wrong and that I need to study more and that I should learn this and learn that... You're above post is a perfect example. I have no desire to share God's...

I never misquote God. Keeping His commandments DOES scare you.
