@justbyfaith I really did not want to get involved in this thread but your generalizations and lack of reasonable cause have done it. I have read all of your posts on this thread and not once have you told us what a Christian is, yet you insist that Mormons don't qualify. Not once have you told...

Interesting, but I really heard no answer from you. I regularly give God the glory in my heart and with words because He has really done so much for me over the years of my life. To give God such glory, really, we must somewhere sometime have come to recognize who He is and understand at least a...

No, you most certainly do not! You understand neither the OT nor the NT as I understand them in and according to the scriptures. Since you have blocked me I leave it between you and God. He may have a way to run your blockade. I do not. You have already decided what the answer is, there I am...

See my next reply.

No cause to glory? Not for yourself perhaps about whom I know little, but about God?

Yes, you already have a better idea of what hell really is than probably most of the debaters. Give God the glory!

Perhaps one day you will understand what I said to you.

Perhaps it is not your "scriptural" understanding, but it is mine: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die..." Heb 9:27 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" II Cor...

Indeed, my typo. Someone else pointed it out and I already corrected it. Thanks! I seldom really try to understand exactly the final solution for those who actually spent their human lives prior to the date of redemption. Rather I look to see how what is written then may have an impact on us...

That's a good thing.

Thanks, I added the "no" I front of "respecter of persons"

Jesus indeed does not deny Himself, but who is His Body? When we subject ourselves to the Head, we are headed in the right direction. That is walking in the Spirit. If we do NOT endure with Him to the end of our course [our allotted time] then we have cut ourselves off. We do this when we quench...

But... God has never changed; God is no respecter of persons and; Much is given, much is required. So ultimately they had as much opportunity to come out on God's side as we do.

People want that security and really God does give it to them, but it requires a continuous growth as it requires a continuous for a natural child to become a mature adult. It will not happen with no effort on the child's part. A new creature in the Spirit is like a new baby born in the flesh...

No man after the flesh can do it. If this were so the sacrifice of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as per Acts 2 would have been unnecessary. The problem is that people keep on putting it back on themselves saying, 'It is impossible'. In themselves ALONE it is impossible. But...

What is happening, or should be, is that we are still growing toward God, toward that sinless state that Jesus was in... The fact of growth in that direction, rather standing still or sliding backward, is our "perfection". Again, how far can a person grow? That is not limited by God, but by us...

Just click on the person's avatar and a black window will come up for that person. All the way to the right in the middle you will see the word, "ignore". Simply click on it.

@marks Well I must then leave those questions between you and episkopos.

And why do you continue to ask the question? I certainly believe it is possible and would never deny it... that is, that a person through God working in them could stop sinning before the dirt is shoveled over them. All it would take would be complete surrender. Is that impossible? What is...
