I agree to a point. I think on That day we do believe and experience Gods presense in our hearts. But its not always as simple as we then believe all that we read.the desire is the sudden change . as in a one hundred and eighty degree change .
Though the maturing and growing in the faith does increase over time .
Now i KNOW and KNOW with zero doubt that DAY GOD reached out to me
He had put HIS CHANGE in this sheeps heart . Any guesses on what occurred .
Desires to do what pleases God was put upon my heart . And sin does not please him .
I was actually T URNED from sin unto GOD and HOLINESS . HE DID that . HE put that change in my heart .
And one more t hing . Ev erything i loved reading in that bible i believed it . I did not understand some things
But OH I BELEIVED what was written . THERE was ZERO desire to try and to twist what was written at all .
Just a hunger for truth and such a love for them h oly wo rds of GOD . DO be encouraged .
But you wanna know what the number one problem in christainity is ........
A vast majority do not BELIEVE all things written and had rather have it twisted to fit what they DO desire .
And any guesses on what it is they do desire . WELL when the words of GOD are twisted
you can bet its THEIR SIN . oh you can SURELY bet it is their sin they love and desire and will find
any way known to man to be able to feel accepted in IT , approved IN IT , justified in it . NOT gonna bode
well for those at all .
Now your denying what you actually believe.I never said any such thing! ANOTHER LIE! It's a good thing you can't sin!
Nope.. I was saved. I am. a completed actionYou're chasing your tail.
notice. he can not answer. he just mocks..Already answered. OSAS preacher?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to be puzzled by that post!
speaking of chasing , many are now chasing something that has given them hopeNow your denying what you actually believe.
I can;t live in sin. But sadly. I am not perfect. I am still a work in progress..
Nope.. I was saved. I am. a completed action
Your chasing your tail hoping you may be saved. by your works
Here is an example of what i meant by believing .I agree to a point. I think on That day we do believe and experience Gods presense in our hearts. But its not always as simple as we then believe all that we read.
We may for various reasons stumble under lifes trials and tribulations. This is usually the times we have doubts and forget all those experiences. because the experience of the trials and pressures the world puts on us can take over. We may drift a little and begin to doubt as a result.
But the experience of God never completely goes away. We wrestle and question and may even at times entertain the idea that maybe God is not what we thought and the world was right. This is all part of strengthening our faith.
Because when we are saved the light of God even if it becomes a flicker never completely goes out. There is still this voice calling despite all that. Then we think and our questions are never fully resolved by the world and we come full circle back to God an even stronger person.
thats when I think we become more confident in what Gods words say. We experience the words, we experience the bad things that come with entertaining such ideas. We see more clearly how the world is not the answer despite all the well sounding rationalisation.
Thats when we gain a deeper understanding of Gods words when we live them out and see the truth in reality. Which then gives us assurance that whatever else God is saying even if we do not understand is also truth and does not need to be questioned.
Another LIE!Now your denying what you actually believe.
And another LIE!I can;t live in sin. But sadly. I am not perfect. I am still a work in progress..
Nope.. I was saved. I am. a completed action
Your chasing your tail hoping you may be saved. by your works
And another LIE. I already answered CLEARLY! Have you read what Jesus said about ALL LIARS?notice. he can not answer. he just mocks..
Another LIE!
Prove it.. By proving you do not believe salvation can be lost. and you do not have to work to be saved.And another LIE!
I have not seen your answer.. Probably many others have not either, and I am not going to go back and attempt to look for it. when you can plainly just say what you believe again..And another LIE. I already answered CLEARLY! Have you read what Jesus said about ALL LIARS?
Already quoted Scripture several times.so you do not believe works are required to keep you saved?
No Scripture? Of course not!Prove it.. By proving you do not believe salvation can be lost. and you do not have to work to be saved.
here is your proving ground, it is all yours.
Prove you do not believe these things
or prove you are the one lying not me
Another lie?I have not seen your answer..
I pointed out your lies. You better read them soon.Probably many others have not either, and I am not going to go back and attempt to look for it. when you can plainly just say what you believe again..
so just answer the guy and stop trying to pass the blame to everyone else.
