You might have misunderstood me. I said I believe Paul is in agreement with Jesus. Jesus said we are to DO to remain in the Kingdom after initial salvation... Paul exhorts us in many verses to DO in order to be worthy of our calling, as you have said. I merely ended by saying that if there WERE...

P.S. I trust everything Jesus said. More than what Paul said, if it could be said that there is a difference. I personally don't believe there is and I think Paul is very much misunderstood if people think he's preaching a different gospel from Jesus. And if he WERE, then I'd listen to Jesus.

Yes. There are verses in the O.T. I throw out. Not because I don't like them, but because it is commonly accepted by scholars that God put many rules into our hearts but MAN contributed to them also. IOW, God did not sit down at a computer and write the bible. Especially the O.T. He INSPIRED...

To BELIEVE means to trust. To trust means to follow. To follow means to obey.

1. Which verse have I taken out of context? 2. How could I be lost within my own reason if the O.P. states that 50% of all Christians agree with me. (and that's just because of someone's inventing this concept in the 1500's - it did not exist before then).

Who said I doubt my salvation? I'm as sure of it as you are of yours. I'm just willing to admit that it's POSSIBLE to lose it if I DON'T stay close to Jesus always. If I have faith in our Lord..........I'm saved If I don't have faith in our Lord...I'm not saved Faith is the necessary quality...

bb Just want to say that I'm not here to change anybody's mind. Everyone could believe what they want to and they'll take it up with God when the time comes...including me. I'm basically writing for those reading along. Some are new Christians and it's incorrect to say that because someone...

The JW stopped predicting the date of the end because they were wrong each time. Might be a good idea since Jesus said even HE doesn't know the day or the time...

I have no idea to what you're replying. I know Jesus does not need you for anything other than to help to fill up his earthly and heavenly Kingdom. There's is nothing I need to take up with Him, since I speak from His word.

These persons should try reading 2 Peter 2:20-22 20For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For it would be...

Not everyone who THINKS they're going to heaven are going. Especially with this false idea floating around...it most probably gets persons lost eternally just by thinking they're saved forever. It would behoove all of us to tell the truth and notice how everything in faith is in the present...

Once saved is forever as long as you keep yourself saved. I'd like to know where you read that you're saved forever. Where did Jesus say this? Even Paul gave conditions to being saved. And if you have any doubt as to what Paul said or meant, which many theologians and bible scholars do, BTW...

Oh my. I'm not too sure I want to see that. I could just imagine. A gator killed a child (I think it was a child) at a hotel in Disney. I think they are able to get into the "lake" somehow. The child was too close to the water. I don't believe there were even warning signs around. Maybe...

I just finished reading it. Same situation here. Parents could only do their best,,,whatever that is. And I get about the U!

Yes BG, I think they should be honored no matter what. One way is to care for them when the time comes,,,if possible.

I've done the Beatitudes too. Also with O.T. Scripture. Maybe it could be a thread. I've done all this because I prepared lessons for the kids I'd teach our faith to. I used to love it. Unfortunately, I had to give it up about two years ago. I might be 3 years now... It's good to write...

What great posts...

How about writing a paper on this prayer? Our Father Who art in Heaven Hollowed by Thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven Give us THIS day Our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation But...
