The notion of saved sinners being accepted into heaven and then sinning there and being cast out is just not biblical. John wrote to Christians: (1Jn 3:2 NKJV) Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we...

I feel I must say what I often say when I see the term "Free Grace." The phrase means different things depending on where you live. Here in the UK, for example, there are churches which have the words "Free Grace" in their church name, but that certainly does not mean that they believe they...

Fallen angels were in heaven when they sinned. Fallen human beings were on earth when they sinned. Saved human beings have their sins paid for and dealt with by their Saviour. Satan and temptation are not in heaven. The idea that someone could go to heaven, sin there, and be cast out, is not...

There are plenty of Bible verses teaching us that saved people, Christians, have everlasting life, and that their citizenship is in heaven. I cannot think of any Scripture that even hints that a saved person can be cast out of heaven. The fallen angels were cast out, but they were not saved.

I have never heard anybody say that heaven is a place where we can continue to sin, or even want to do so. The devil is not there to tempt anyone to sin. Revelation tells us that those in heaven will be serving their Saviour day and night, in other word, all the time: (Rev 7:15 NKJV)...

Thanks. It just looked from the part of his post you quoted (about heaven) and your reply as though you thought people could sin in heaven. I'm glad you don't think that, and I apologise for misunderstanding.

But wait a minute - Armour of God was writing about people who have died and gone to heaven. Are you saying that people can sin (and have security in sin) in heaven?

Worshipping Jesus? How about Thomas? Remember how he had refused at first to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. When he met the risen Saviour, we read: (Joh 20:28 NKJV) And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" We read of Stephen praying for Jesus to receive his...

Well here is Isaiah 66:1-4: (Isa 66:1-4 NKJV) Thus says the LORD: "Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist," Says the LORD. "But on this one...

Cloudy and breezy today, and cooler than it has been. 23 degrees Celsius (73 Fahrenheit). It has been in the high twenties Celsius (low to mid 80s Fahrenheit)

I don't see Ephesians 1:1 as distinguishing between two groups ("saints" and "faithful in Christ Jesus." I agree with what Jamieson, Fausset and Brown wrote in their commentary: "to the saints ... and to the faithful — The same persons are referred to by both designations, as the Greek proves...

My point was that Jesus was not saying that the Old Testament was in error.

But surely when Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said......but I say unto you" He wasn't saying that the Old Testament was in error. Rather, He was saying that those who interpreted OT commandments narrowly (as though it was fine to think murderous thoughts about somebody, as long as you...

I 'm not sure what "peeps" are, but I am Reformed - I believe the Doctrines of Grace. I do not believe that we don't have to do the things the Lord says we should do. I fully accept that saved people are to be doers of the word and not hearers only, and that it is no good merely calling Jesus...

I thought that on seeing the thread title. As you say, how can you obey Jesus if you don't believe in Him?

Not knowing much about amniotic fluid, I looked it up. I found that it consists of 98% water.

Thanks. Food for thought!

Thanks. Regarding the word which you say should be translated "fertile soil", that doesn't always work. For example, Psalm 137 is about the Captivity in Babylon. Verse 4 (NKJV) says: (How shall we sing the LORD's song In a foreign land? It wouldn't make sense to translate it as "fertile...

The only difference with that verse is that Jay (for some reason) replaced the word "land" with "soil/field." In the long passage he quotes, he seems to put the words that he has changed in bold. All the rest seems to match the NKJV. Perhaps he will settle the matter for us.

It looks like the New King James Version to me.
