WRONG – that’s not what it says on context. That is what YOU have to believe it says to support our Calvinist perversions. You need to read these verses in CONTEXT – which is Kryptonite to Calvinists. Here is the context of Heb. 3:6 . . . 5 Moses was “faithful in all his house” as a “servant”...

BOTH of the Hebrews verses you presented have the stipulation "IF we hold fast". It requires our COOPERATION.

Alexander Hislop’s “The Two Babylons” piece of shoddy history and angry opinions. Let’s start with Wikipedia’s review . . . The book has been severely criticized for its lack of evidence, and in many cases its contradiction of the existing evidence: for instance, the Roman state religion before...

WRONG. Here are your fellow PROTESTANTS disagreeing with you. Take special note of the definition in RED . . . EPIGNOSIS Vine's Greek New Testment Dictionary C2. Know, Known, Knowledge, Unknown [Noun] epignosis akin to epiginosko, denotes "exact or full knowledge, discernment...

Absolutely. Many, however, will choose NOT to remain with Him. (Rom. 11:22, Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Pet. 2:20-22,Matt. 5:13, 1 Cor. 9:27, 2 Peter 3:17, 1 John 2:24, Rev. 3:5, Rev. 22:19)

Bad analogy – REALLY bad. Butter and clay don’t have the ability to reason – humans DO. Butter and clay don’t have the ability to make choices – humans DO. The ENTIRE Gospel message is about God’s free gift of love and salvation – and whether or not WE will CHOOSE to follow Christ. This is the...

And the Bible shows us over and over that even a "True Believer" can fall away and LOSE everything . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you REMAIN in his kindness; otherwise you to will be cut off.”...

You're missing the point. The argument was that WE didn't have to do ANYTHING. That s false. A gift can be accepted or rejected. Love that is forced on someone is RAPE. Without our response and cooperation with God's grace - we cannot be saved.

Ahhhh – another Scriptural absolutist . . . Are the words “Free will” in Scripture? No - however, the TEACHING certainly is. Is the term “Trinity” in Scripture? NO – but the teaching is there. Is the term “Incarnation” in Scripture? NO – but the teaching is there. Gen. 2:16-17 And the LORD...

STILL showing up to a gunfight with a pea-shooter, I see. Look – if you can’t substantiate your idiotic claims – then just admit it and move on. It’s better than showing up with empty pockets every time . . .

Show that snippet in CONTEXT with what Paul is saying. Eph. 2:4-9 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in...

No - James is telling his readers that works are an essential ELEMENT of faith - not just an "after effect". He says that simple "belief" is worthless because even tge DEMONS do that much.

And, did you notice that the man was penitent? He was RESPONDING to God's call. He wasn't just sitting there, depending on God to "do the work".

See James 2:21.

There’s a reason why the words “faith alone“ appear only ONCE in ALL of Scripture. It occurs in James 2:24, where it says explicitly: You see that a person is justified by WORKS and NOT by faith alone. James is talking about belief here, in context. He precedes this passage in verse 19 by...

And that response shown that you don’t understand God’s Word. In the verses I showed you back in post #468 – it speaks of a person who has an EPIGNOSIS of Christ. As I have repeatedly explained to you – Epignosis is a FULL, experiential and relational knowledge – like a spouse has. It ALSO...

Why would you jump that that conclusion?? Who said anything about saving themselves?? We are saved by God’s grace because of the finished work of Christ on the cross – PERIOD. HOWEVER – remaining faithful is up to US. The Holy Spirit cannot help if we REFUSE it. The god of OSAS is a Cosmic...

WRONG. A true, born again believer with an EPIGNOSIS of Christ can turn away from Him and LOSE it all. I gave you several passages of Scripture that prove this.

Your response to God's call is NECESSARY for salvation. Simply ignoring His call will NOT save you. He did the work - but WE must cooperate. Our works are an essential part of our faith: Faith = Belief + Works (obedience)

We STILL have to BELIEVE. That is something WE do in response.
