I'm not much for escatology. I'm not sure there will be a tribulation and I'm not sure about the rapture. I don't really wish to discuss this because of insufficient knowledge. However, I DID explain the verses as Jesus said them. Could you do the same please, exegete them, if you don't agree...

Right. We're in bondage to satan, even though we may not even know it or act like it, until the born again experience. The cross has freed us from this bondage.

Yes. You've posted this before. Dinner here! Later.

But it's not an easy concept to understand. It's, to me, like living in the flesh or living by the spirit of God. In the flesh doesn't only mean "sin"...it also means what you're speaking about...depending on the man who lives in this secular world...that does things the way an unbeliever...

I'd like to reply to scripture please. Please post some scripture proving the above. I know what you believe,,,I'd like to see some biblical support for it. J. Calvin sure did post a lot of it, even though he twisted each and every one he posted.

I DO believe you're derailing. And I'll be you know my reply... Nothing can separate you from God, but your own decision to do so.

What do you say about the verses I've posted? They were NOT from Revelation, but directly from Jesus.

Oh no. Not works... Who here, or on any forum I've ever been on, states that we are saved by works???

Did I not state scripture? I'm not a fan of Revelation.

God's will is always done. Nothing happens unless He approves. I stated in a former post here that it's difficult to reconcile God's sovereignty with our free will IF everything is held up by God. Just becaue we don't understand something does not mean it is not so. I find free will in the...

I believe the Beatitudes would respond to your point. Jesus wants us to be as He describes in Mathew 5. Sometimes when we're weak to the world...we are the strongest. I find it's easier to get things accomplished if we're nice to someone than when we yell at them out of anger -- although this...

Romans 12:1 Present yourselves a living sacrifice... And, if we've died with Christ we will also live with Him. Romans 6:8 If we want to live in Christ, we must die to ourselves. Death = Life

Dave, There's no way to make this more clear to you: IF GOD CONTROLS US We DO NOT have free will. Free will, and particularly libertarian free will as pertains to the bible, means WE choose what WE WANT to choose... NOT what God MAKES US CHOOSE. If God makes us choose...it' HIS will, not...

The above is for our new friend @friend of but didn't John write Revelation? Did he contradict himself? Names CAN be blotted out of the book of life because salvation is not absolutely secure until we reach the end of our life and know we have persevered till the end. Mathew 24:12-14...

Oh dear...is it necessary to ask? I certainly have one in every color.... But I so love my Bentley:

Bentley?

I'm with you. Who do they think they are, anyway? Oh. Excuse me,,,my chauffer has just arrived...

LOL Whoeva would known???? And I bet no girl here cares.....

He gets tired of all the debating about OSAS??

OK. So then you can't use words like FREE WILL, as you did in your post no. 217. IF you do NOT believe in free will, you can't use the words FREE WILL in a sentence! (unless it's to say you don't believe in it)
