    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Of course it must appear that way since my understanding does not line up with yours. This is the way it frequently happens with people... "All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits." Prov 16:2 "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Sorry you did not understand or accept what I said. I won't attempt to explain further as my correct words, when they are correct, come from God. When they are in error, then they are mine. He, when it comes down to it, is the only one who corrects a persons errors if and when that person...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    That does not change what I wrote nor what God is. As to seals, they can be broken although it is not wise to do it and when it is time they should be broken by the proper person [the cook or his designated helper]. It can be done on purpose or by accident or by error during the canning...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Yes, but God has never changed and He has never been a respecter of persons. A person's punishment, chastisement, salvation and/or reward is always based on a fair judgement by God. He looks at the heart always!

    Even so my friend!

    The day of penticost

    I take him seriously. Consider the way they treated those on that day of Pentecost 2000 years ago: "Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine." Acts 2:13 They thought they were drunk on men's alcoholic drinks... but little did they know! Mocking people who are sincere in their love...

    ~God of the darkness~

    When we are actually in the belly of the fish and cannot see or hear what is happening very well. That is when we really need the prayers of others who for the moment are seeing or hearing some things that we cannot. When my pastor's wife was in those last two months of life in her earthen...

    Christian Denomination Differences

    @4Jesus So who is to selected and who is to be rejected by God? You mentioned 4 groups, but most of those and/or some within them will throw some others out completely, and some will not even be considered Christian, which for many invalidates the meaningful use of that word [Christian] without...

    Why do we need priests?

    Yes together when each is doing his/her part as God would have prescribed they would have been complete. In the flesh alone following fleshly ways this is an impossibility because both parts [husband and wife] are already corrupted. The closest to a "perfect" marriage between a physical man and...

    Why do we need priests?

    Fortunately, "a lot of people" do not ultimately determine what sin is or is not!

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    Unfortunately my friend many people today, and some on this forum, have claimed their salvation and believe, or at least say they believe, that nothing they can do will cause them to lose it. In this of course they make God a respecter of persons as they effectively are saying He gave them an...

    The Verdict... Guilty.

    The focus of people on the "now" and the carnal results which sometimes are terrible has always been man's problem. I can understand the carnal feelings of those three, but carnal they still were. Even in the OT under the law that they had the main problem people had then as now was looking to...

    @DHCHARLES May God richly bless you and keep from being bothered by an evil past that cannot be changed. He is always able!

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I thought I would insert a few comments and/or verses here in support of your answers. As you and others know, I am not a Mormon. "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Again I am not after you, but 'after' any of us [certainly including "me"] who misses a step here or there in his walk toward God. I am glad that you do not simply take for granted what one person or one group say with regard to another who is apparently not with them. Jesus spoke of those who...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I was really not being critical of you in particular but rather of all of us. The correct meaning, when we have it, has come to us through the Holy Spirit. We all presume, or want to presume, we are more correct than the other guy. If we really are then it is because we are closer to God than...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    LOL, probably no one in the flesh today is "sola Biblia" no matter what they say. Some may strive to be that, but on a case by case basis, there is probably not a single one who has attained to it. Then again is that what any one of us should want to be? If we are in Christ, walking in Him...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I will say that for LDS Christians as with any other Christian the top authority certainly should be God. That this not true for every person carrying the label of LDS/Mormon or Christian [of any other designation] is also the unfortunately truth according to my own experience. Too many people...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    It may well be plagiarism, but what do we call it when a new group, or even one person, comes along with a new translation of the scripture [66 books?] where the meanings don't seem to match? Then we can get into the 'whys' of such apparent mismatches... and who is right? God alone we can all...
