We cannot maintain our salvation, but who is in us? "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Col 1:27 He will remain in us then so long as we provide for Him a place to lay His head. Jesus is...

God does indeed have foreknowledge of what our final end is, but we still made the decision or decisions that brought to that final end. The right to Him away and walk along our own road has always been ours. Jesus sacrifice on the cross did not remove that authority from us. Us receiving the...

Jesus paved the Way where there was no way, but we must walk it until we reach the Light at the end of the highway of holiness. Getting off of the highway at any point along the Way is a dangerous thing to do. Give God the glory!

Jesus overcame the world, but you and I have it to do. This is why looking around us in the USA with about 80% called Christian, we see primarily the devil's mess. It is because many of those who name themselves followers of Christ are more often followers of devils.

@Kristian Gamst Welcome indeed! You seem to be our only Norwegian at the moment. Yes, indeed, she @"ByGrace" is on the other side. We are on this side [not for OSAS]. Hopefully before we reach the end we will all be on the Lord's side.

Do we know? You said all you have is opinions. Is it not also an opinion that you know what those are as well?

When you speak with the purpose of tempting a brother to sin, is that not the same as tempting God? I realize you were not serious in expecting him to even try to take you up on what you said, but what good purpose could it have? What are idle words?

How things should be for everyone to be right? Yes, if wishes were horses then beggars surely would have ridden. Nearly everyone here will agree that there is a better way, but on the details of that way, very few if any are likely to coincide. How many of us here if we were born in the 1920's...

For me the proof is in the pudding, in this case me being the pudding: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26 People, including me...

This is how it really should be and so long as everyone is putting God first, it is. All of us at times miss on this, some more than others. Give God the glory!

God is amazing, but many people, even some who say they are Christian believers, have very poor vision as I understand it. We must move toward seeing more clearly. God will through the Holy Spirit in us move us that way if we work with Him and not against Him. Many people don't realize that to...

Disrespectful? The disrespect was on the part of everyone who caused him to be crucified. They or we put him in an apparently disrespected place. But was it? Where would any of us be if He had not allowed it? When Jesus was on the cross he died. He was dead for three days. He was a dead...

In additional to not quenching the Holy Spirit, we need to stop eating and drinking the wrong things... the garbage. Jesus said: "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my...

Yes, there is, but for me that is the Holy Spirit in us. That is why the Holy Spirit was poured out for us. The reason men spout out both blessings and cursings, is on the one hand they are following the lead of the Holy Spirit and on the other they are quenching the Holy Spirit in them...

I guess it depends upon what a person wants and more importantly what God has called him to do. We don't always get to choose that which we in our flesh like the best.

The old man is not completely dead and struggles with the new man for the dominion. When a person does not quench the Holy Spirit the new man always wins, but people do quench the Spirit regularly and the result is double-mindedness which results in them talking out of both sides of their...

Protestants only and for most of the sub forums they must meet their definition [agree with their statement of faith] of Christian. They have a special sub forum for unorthodox theology where second class members [non-Christian as per their definition] such as myself may participate but few of...

Praying for Piper!

I did not mention a crucifix at all. I spoke of the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Your symbols are yours as the Protestants our theirs. If I have any, they are mine. The common good? What is that? Whose good? Mankind's according to men? I would think not. What God made in the beginning...

The problem with ecumenism comes to the fore when anyone compromises in order to make it so. Jesus would walked with no man at before he would compromise: "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" John...
