I've found that prayer brings relief from involuntary thoughts and even rotten dreams. I regularly pray whenever these thoughts come to mind and God gives me relief. The thing is, we need to constantly pray. I used to swear badly and found it impossible to control spontaneous bad language but...

With respect my friend, I think you are denying the power of the Holy Spirit. I don't believe that we can reach a state where we never have ungodly thoughts but we can certainly reach a point where they have no power over our actions ... we can dismiss them quite easily. I believe that if we...

I seem to have completely lost track of the conversation. Sorry about that. God bless, Mick

Sorry but I don't follow you. God bless, Mick

I have about 30 commentaries and not one agrees with your interpretation and there are many more on the internet which disagree with you also. They all state that it is about Jesus and the church. If you can show me one that agrees with your interpretation I will be surprised. We are in both a...

If we dwell on sinful thoughts, such as lust or hate, they can be regarded as sinful. Jesus told us this in Matt. 5:21-30. James 1:14-15 also tell us that our thoughts can lead to sin and death: "but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after...

Only sporadically. I haven't listed all passages that I believe show salvation loss. As a matter of fact I don't even have such a list. I would have to quote off the top of my head and then I would miss a lot. God bless, Mick

Amen Mary. There are in fact a multitude of verses which clearly show the possibility of salvation loss. God bless, Mick

A better quote from Ezekiel which clearly shows salvation loss is - Eze 18:24 "But if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked man does, will he live? None of the righteous things he has done will be remembered. Because of the...

I believe you completely understand what I said. It is good to see that you finally understand the meaning and necessity of ongoing repentance. Remember to "have an apple a day" in order not to perish - Luke 13:3. I think we should leave it at that ... after your final word, of course. God...

Paul was speaking to the brethren, v.12, those with the Spirit. If they walk according to the Spirit they will live, if the flesh they will die. You have lost me there. We seem to see things quite differently so why don't we give it away? God bless, Mick

Good to hear that you believe repentance is not works. The fact is it is a command - it is something we MUST do. In Mar_1:15, both "repent" and "believe" are Present Active Imperatives meaning that we are commanded to actively continue to repent and actively continue to believe in order to enter...

Amen, they rejected the way but did not forsake it. The word "forsake" is not in the text, you are adding it in. I know the way of Catholicism but reject it; that doesn't mean I have forsaken it. We can only forsake something we possess. In all seriousness, rather than argue with me why not...

We can't ignore the corollary. Rom. 8:12-14 clearly tell us that a Christian can live in the flesh or the Spirit. It is only those who walk in the Spirit who are not condemned. Surely you can see that Jesus came to earth and did things and then proceed to heaven to finish it all off. There was...

Forsake means to leave, abandon, renounce, give up etc. You can only forsake that which you had at one time. Jesus is the Right Way so to forsake the right way is to forsake Jesus. A common OSAS error is along the same lines. They say that an apostate is someone who never believed but the word...

Amen, a servant is rewarded for faithfulness and condemned for unfaithfulness. Repentance to be saved is not works, Jesus commanded it. In Luk_13:3, "repent" is Present Active Subjunctive means that we must continue in repentance otherwise perish. In Mar_1:15, both "repent" and "believe" are...

You need to quote the entire verse to get the real meaning. Rom 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit". The corollary is that there is condemnation for who walk after the Spirit but after the flesh...

Once is enough thanks.
