It puts us ahead of where Adam and Eve were before they disobeyed God and that, I believe, is wrong. Adam and Eve were sinless before that disobedience. Yet, they lost an important opportunity which being born again has given back to us... to eat of the Tree of Life. A person really born again...

I would say that what these poll takers conclude to be Christianity is a very fuzzy area. The "face" which many see and describe as a group [named Christianity] striving to follow Christ, has probably always been a false "face" to God. About 2,000 years ago, Apostle Paul wrote this verse: "For...

I would then say that according to or by Wisdom we should or would kill by the Holy Spirit and/or the Word of God, our greatest enemies, the beasts within ourselves which when they have the lead will take us into sin repeatedly.

If a person really has what we might call a death bed repentance, he has taken that first step on the journey you mention. If he really dies immediately, then for him considering the time available he has successfully completely his journey. On the other hand, if after repenting, he recovers he...

Amen! Give God the glory!

God!

Yes, some seem to think that because the Lord spoke to Elijah in a "still small voice" that that is the only way He speaks to anyone and therefore there is only a certain way in which we speak of or to Him. This is, I believe, in error. Read through people's personal testimonies sometimes and...

:):D

I meant he did not walk through the Door for anyone. He unlocked it and opened it and provided everything necessary for anyone to walk through it. Yes when we have decided to walk through but find ourselves hesitant or weak in our resolve, he is also there to help. But... we must ask for his...

In your heart it may be that God agrees with you versus the other guy, but when you open your mouth to speak it, don't expect the other guy to suddenly change his position. What is in his heart? Only God knows both hearts. Sometimes neither of those arguing may know his own heart. As to winning...

Yes, he is the flaming sword keeping man from the Tree of Life in Genesis. When man was put outside there was no way through until Jesus brought the Way to Life: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have...

You are arguing your case. I am simply striving to always be on the Lord's side. God however knows all of the answers to all of the questions of men. Men on the other hand living by faith are doing just that. Those who insist they have THE answer are likely not living faith, wouldn't you say?

Only God always knows who among us is right or wrong. Even if a person "wins" one of these arguments here according to the consensus of members who have read all of the posts on a thread, if God did not give any increase from it, would it not effectively be idle words?

When a person is in the place where he is truly praying without ceasing and is truly rejoicing in the Lord always, then I believe that he is in no danger of giving away or losing salvation. I cannot definitely say that I have even met a single person in such a continuous 24/7 mode of prayer and...

Your message is certainly understood by me. We may not like to view the results of physical beheadings, but there really are worse things according to God. Sometimes we lack "eyes to see" what God is showing us. John the Baptist was beheaded, but not many people relate to what that should mean...

You don't understand what I meant by God being no respecter of persons. More is required of us today than was required of those in the OT because we have so much more than they: "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever...

Well unless you're older than me that may be. It was a 1940 production and I was born in 1943.

You are saying I would guess that you believe that we cannot. In the end this may be true, but before our time is ended, can we be right and then change our mind? Remembering that God is no respecter of persons, consider the unnamed prophet who was sent out of Judah to Jeroboam the first king of...

I guess that we all remember Pinocchio, no...?

My very first non-Catholic pastor called that verse his "sugar stick". Of course he was in the UPC which if you understand that will help you to understand the position. I have at times belonged to three Jesus Only Oneness organizations and all three placed great emphasis on that one verse. It...
