Then you are a universalist? Our sinful behavior flows from our sinful nature. No. This is why Paul said he dies to Christ daily. If it is not Christ who lives in us, if it remains 'our life', then sin remains. Accepting Jesus makes no one perfect, makes no one a god. Rather it is the...

With all due respect, you are projecting. The result of action is the emotion of trust. Action is not the result of faith. Action is a prerequisite to faith. BELIEF + ACTION = FAITH.

Again, here we have to part ways. I trust Jesus in Matthew 7:21; that REAL faith has action (not emotion based, like trust). Action is objective, saying you trust is subjective.

Linear thinking includes knowledge increases over time. Today we have far better information about the original language than the KJV translators have. The Dead Sea Scrolls, older manuscripts were found, and different manuscripts with 3 different endings of Mark's Gospel were found. In...

Imposing trinitarian ideology onto Jewish unitarian text. Many verses could not survive scrutiny by later, better informed translators.

The most important fact in human history.

And through this one man, spread the indwelling to others. :)

Amen

Denial. Trust most certainly is an emotion.

Jesus is not God. A good translation of Colossians 2:9 is You see, all that is God, all His fullness, resides in His body, which corroborates what Truther said. The significance of Jesus raising from the dead is meaningless if he is God. Acts 17:31 tells us God raised the man Jesus and that...

Well, we will have to part company here. Emotion is not the driver in Scripture but I understand your embrace of the feminization of Christian theology. My pastor disagrees with you. I'll side with my Pastor - and Jesus. Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of...

How else could OSAS work? It's not the consequence. It's knowing Sin is separation from God that I do not want. In 2020 I had 5 grandkids born. I yearn to be with them. And I am now! There is no thought about consequences if they are not in my life (separation). The overwhelming thought is to...

Pray for guidance. Let the Spirit lead you into verses of the Word you need to reflect on.

I believe and am saved, so now I can commit every sin under heaven with impunity?!

Leave it to the Savior of the World to turn a symbol of oppression and death into a symbol of hope and eternal life.

Agreed. But trust is not the difference. Trust is an emotion. Faith = Belief + Action. I will say it again. :)

I don't believe that for one second. Sure, it is possible in theory but contradictory in practice.

That is yet another fallacy of the OSAS crowd; the Appeal to Emotion, that we are 'worried' about losing our salvation if we don't embrace OSAS. I just do my best to follow the will of God and ask for forgiveness when I realize I fail.

No. It is bad NOT to be sad and express feeling bad when you do! Let's keep it real. Jesus wept. Do you model him? The female pastor of my church who recently retired, scolded the congregation saying "Don't you dare tell anyone to toughen up! Our God is an emotional God and you should be also...

I pray your FIL recovers from the plague.
