How was he the son if he was not saved? Just asking

God does not force people to believe And he is not a respecter of persons. He does not allow some to believe and prevent others. He draws all men to himself. But not all men will receive, He chose a nation. But they kept defiling themselves. And God kept taking the clay and remolding it, he is...

The spiritual circumcision/baptism is what washes us (col 2)

Yes it an.Like Saul/Paul and nicodemus and others broke away from the Jewish church, and found the true Christ.

Its not jesus Its the prince of the people who destroyed the city in 70 AD. The prince who is to come. That same prince commits the abomination which causes desolation by placing it in the wing of the temple (Jesus called it the holy place) and said when you see it standing in the holy place...

is sad people try to use john 3 as proof of water baptism, when Jesus did Not even mention baptism once in his conversation to nicodemus, You would think, since Jesus is telling HIM to be born again, then explaining HOW one is born again If baptism was so important he would mention it

God does not force a person to have faith. God gives us the ability to have faith. Through the word. Through his creation (romans1) and through other people. But he does not force people to have faith. Nor does he refuse the ability of other people to even be able to have faith.

The son was still the son He was lost (he was in the world and lost the access to his fathers blessing) And he was saved again (he returned and again had acces to his fathers blessings. But he was still the son. Our salvation is based on Gods promise, not our ability, not on our work, and...

Even though they deny it. Its crazy how we as humans deny the very things we do. When it is obvious to everyone looking.. I think it helps to hurt our reputation

Not sure if this answers or not. There are quit a few ex catholics in my school. It is the mindset. They are trained that only they have the truth, They are trained that no one should try to interpret the word that only they have been given the truth and we should not try to interpret ourself...

Yawn. I am not a Protestant, I am a bible believing born again, child of God. And you can not take that from me. If you would stop defending your church and being so angry by saying people who disagree with you protest you. You may be able to find some of that peace as well. The word has...

Wow. So the Catholic Church is the final beast?

I was given this as an explanation along time ago. And I think it fits, I hope I can remember it all Its a story about a son, who hated his father, his father wanted his life to mean something, so he kept asking his child to do things, and would punish him when his child sinned against him, so...

I went cold for 5 years. Because of some crap that happened in my life. I lost faith in the church. But I never lost faith in God. Sadly while away, in seeking to fill the whole that was left. i did some things I am not proud of. But I also suffered through those things, the guilt and the pain...

Yep. Not here on earth. But when you died, A loving father would come to get you and bring you home, Just like God will Now when you get home, and its judgment day, You may see all your rewards burned as wood hay and stubble. But you will still have a home. God does not go back on his...

My friend, Again, the apostle john says the a child of God can not live in sin, and whoever does has never seen or met God Your right, we can claim a believer will never sin, The same author says if we claim we have no sin we are decieved. And we need to get into a discipleship relationship...

My friend, In the small segment of 1 John I wrote about. John tells us who he is talking about 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son...

Paul wrote letters to the church, and it was directed to the church. But he, like every pastor I know, understood not everyone in that church who would be reading his words was saved, there are some who were there and had not made the final decision yet. Some were exploring and some where there...

We were not given a spirit of fear. But of sound mind, and we can come to our dad and say Abba Father. The people for the most part I have seen leave church are those who are told they have to live up to some standard. Or if you are struggling in an area, you must not be saved, And instead of...

Nah, We lose faith when the person becomes unfaithful, or we never had true faith to begin with.Many jews tried this new christian thing, but their faith was in judaism, not in christianity. So they ended up leaving the church and going back to the law. How often did paul and the book of...
