    WHO is mixed up? You were unable to answer a simple question that required a one word answer. The answer is YES. We are required to obey God AFTER we're saved. I've posted so much scripture that is rejected. How do you understand this: John 3:36

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    Our bible is for us. For Christians. But I like Romans 1:19-20 a lot. It explains how person could be saved even without the gospel being preached to them.

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    You're right... Very bad wording. I meant that no everyone who is a REAL CHRISTIAN believes that ONLY Christians could go to heaven. Makes sense?

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    He makes millions anyway on books and other things that are sold. Personally, I have no problem with him making millions. Aren't millionaires allowed to be saved? LOL

    ADDING WORKS:

    Oh wow. The dirty rags again. We had a nice discussion about this just yesterday. Guess you never went back and read the ENTIRE CHAPTER. Guess it's better to just look upon our works for God to be like dirty rags. Wonder what God thinks about this? John 14:15

    What secrets? The only secret I know about is that the Gentiles were going to be included in God's salvation plan. To say that Jesus had to give His message to a man is to belittle His ministry and His life on earth and maybe even His death. When I want to know something....I go to Jesus'...

    You're not getting off so easy! I believe all you've stated. I didn't say: IF A PERSON SINS. We all sin. I said: RETURNS TO A LIFE OF SIN. Do you see the difference? Can I be a Christian if I live a life of sin AFTER "accepting" Jesus as my Savior. Have I accepted Him as my Lord? I guess...

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    They don't! They might call themselves JEWS or HINDU or BUDDHIST or who knows what else. You think only Christians are going to heaven? I used to have a dear friend who believed this, but she's has since: 1. Moved to California 2. Changed her mind.

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    I agree with all you've said... BUT Purgatory is not a THIRD PLACE. There are only two places..even in Catholicism: HEAVEN AND HELL. Those in Purgatory are on their way to heaven. Even in Catholicism, if a person does not believe, he is NOT going to heaven.

    Did JESUS not know what He was preaching and teaching? Why do we say that something or other was not known yet? You mean Jesus couldn't just say what He meant? He had to wait to die and then give His message to Paul?

    Please explain this.

    Your last sentence is not true, misleading, and in bad taste since it's not true. The reason people don't agree with you is because you don't seem to understand the difference between Works under the Law and Works/good deeds. You keep repeating that works don't save and we all agree with you...

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    Nancy.... Not every Christian believes Jesus is the only way. If a Jew is serving God and believes and has faith in God, and lives a good life and raises his family in his faith BUT he can't accept the gospel message... Is he lost? Isn't God the Father in the Trinity? How could a person...

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    Interesting post! Mathew 7:1 We cannot judge a person's soul....but we are asked to judge their behavior. Paul said not to hang with persons that are of a certain lifestyle.....this means we must know their lifestyle. Mathew 7:5 Amen. Mathew 7:15 I don't think he's a ravenous wolf. That...

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    I don't know a lot about Joel. Look where I live. I only replied to his style of living and don't know much about anything else. I used to go to church by myself many times. I must have been 10 or 11. The church was 2 blocks away and times were different then so it was safe. I agree with...

    Please explain this.

    You're right that this has been going on for centuries. But Revelation says that nothing unclean will enter heaven. Do you believe that it's POSSIBLE for a born again believer to return to a life of sin?

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    Hi SG, I also was raised in the CC! I also had to leave, many years ago, because there was nothing there for me. I've always used this same expression just like you do. I needed more...I needed to know what I had experienced and no one there could explain it. What's even worse is that I've...

    Smoke Screens?

    Right. Jesus was speaking to the Apostles when He said the following: John 15:15 "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." However, since...

    ADDING WORKS:

    I've answered the above many times. Perhaps the following could be of help: Philippians 1 Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ Just as He did with the thief on the cross. Philippians 3 12Not that I...

    Was there anyone in the O.T. that was righteous? How did they attain that righteousness? Was it not by having faith in God and obeying God's commands? Is God the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? Yes. So, what has changed....nothing. Jeremiah 23:6 New American Standard Bible "In His days...

    I'm sorry JBF,,,it's apparent you don't understand what works are when Paul speaks about them. You need to learn the difference between WORKS OF THE LAW and WORKS of FAITH or WORKS. I can't teach you this. JESUS SAID: The branches that do not produce fruit....MY FATHER TAKES AWAY. TAkes...
