ONLY if they abide in Christ, according to what Jesus says in John as well as in other passages.



Claiming those that fall away never got born again in the first place is false doctrine based on ignoring all that the Lord has to say on this topic in His Word.

1 Timothy 4:1,2 is a great example of this that the false teachers ignore or attempt to explain away because they do not accept all that the Lord says on the subject:

1 Timothy 4:1,2 - Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

("depart from the faith" is not referring to sinners in the world who never came to faith in the first place)

The false teachers always say if one fell away they were never saved to began with because they teach false doctrine and refuse to accept all that the Lord has to say on this topic in His Word.

Christians should be weeping for those the false teachers deceive who work for satan teaching eternal security leading many to believe they can continue living in sin because the false teachers continually tickle their itching ears telling them they can never lose their salvation

Sadly so many refuse to accept the whole Word of God so they are part of the problem!
Which of the people groups receive salvation in Jesus parable of the sower and the seed?

Which of them depart from the faith?

If you're going to quote me, include the entire sentence

The rest of what you said did not change anything concerning the Russian so called Orthodox "church" teaching false doctrine.

It's quite the stretch to claim Russia is the closest thing on earth to a Christian nation. Quite funny actually.

You seem a bit unhinged.

Only those claiming that Russia is a "christian" nation would think that seeing they themselves are unhinged especially as they attack the Jews in solidarity with the nazis and the followers of islam. Very pathetic indeed.

I don't know Ronald, I know that people desire America to be a "Christian Nation." Sadly, no Christian Nation exist on this planet. Believers do belong to the Spiritual Jerusalem. Every single person would have to be a confirmed believer in the Resurrection for it as a whole nation to be known as "Christian." There is to much hatred and angst within ourselves to let that happen, at least until we get struck with the LORD.
Well the Lord never sent us to build nations on earth but to preach the gospel and make disciples among all the nations.

I'm not sure where you get your information. But the Orthodox church is not the only church in Russia. And even if it were, you're condemnation carries no weight with me. I have some rather large disagreements with my Orthodox brothers and sisters, but they are still my brothers and sisters, and I have learned a great deal from my Orthodox brethren over the years. You, on the other hand have no issue at all with condemning them all to hell because you do not agree with their doctrine. How very "christian" of you.

Again, I'm not sure where you get your information. You claim that Russians are partnering with Nazis to kill Jews, and yet you provide no proof for your claims. When in fact, Russia is battling a Nazi regime in the Ukraine, led by cross dressing coke fiend. Perhaps the homosexual Zelensky is the "Jew" to whom you refer.

That there are any Christians at all left in Russia is quite miraculous considering that the Jewish Bolsheviks attempted to exterminate them. Murdering an estimated 70 million Christians in the process.

But of course, at that time most of them were Orthodox, so I guess they don't count.

Do yourself a favor, turn off the nightly news and read a book or two, do some research, you are woefully ignorant of the facts. Adjust your perceptions, to fit the facts. Perhaps your moral compass will also be corrected.

the Orthodox church is not the only church in Russia.

It is the primary church in Russia and their religious teachings are WHY Putin believes he has a moral obligation to the god he serves to invade Ukraine. Problem is he does know or serve Jesus Christ.

You, on the other hand have no issue at all with condemning them all to hell because you do not agree with their doctrine.

God's Word contains warnings about not following the Doctrine of Christ as taught in the New Testament.

You can argue with Jesus about that if you want. It's His Word being opposed.

You claim that Russians are partnering with Nazis to kill Jews

That's a lie, I never said that.

I said those attacking the Jews are just like the nazis and those that follow islam.

Do yourself a favor, turn off the nightly news and read a book or two, do some research, you are woefully ignorant of the facts. Adjust your perceptions, to fit the facts. Perhaps your moral compass will also be corrected.

My moral compass came from the Lord and His Word.

You should get to kn ow the Lord and what He teaches in His Word.

It would do you a lot of good.

So, the Russian Orthodox people aren't Christians? And now, I'm not a Christian either? I think unhinged may have been too kind of a word.

BTW Here's a direct quote from your previous post. In full context.


"Only those claiming that Russia is a "christian" nation would think that seeing they themselves are unhinged especially as they attack the Jews in solidarity with the nazis and the followers of islam. Very pathetic indeed."

You can't even keep track of your own baseless accusations.

Ignored.

Do I believe Americans suffer from biblical illiteracy?
Brother, at this point, it’s a national pastime.

The majority of churchgoers today cannot explain the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, or articulate how Christ fulfilled the Law.
Many believers are unfamiliar with even basic biblical terms — some don’t know what an epistle is or who wrote them.
Meanwhile, their churches adorn the stage with the blue and white flag of a secular nation that rejects Christ — a flag marked with the hexagram, the ancient, demonic sigil of Remphan — a symbol condemned in Acts 7:43 and associated with false worship.
They think Romans 11 means we’re supposed to tithe to the Israeli military.
And thanks to Darby and Scofield, half of them believe Jesus is coming back twice — once for a secret cosmic Uber ride, and then again after handing the Gospel baton to 144,000 unbelieving Khazar converts who reject Him to this day.
They don't know that the Body of Christ is Israel according to the Gospel and they've been misled to think its dirt and land in the Middle East now.

It’s not just biblical illiteracy — it’s theological brain damage and outright insanity.
They don’t read the Bible. They read Scofield’s footnotes like it’s scripture.
They know more about Left Behind than the Book of Acts.
They can quote Joel Osteen, but couldn’t spot the New Covenant if Paul handed it to them in person, signed by Christ’s blood.

And worst of all?
They think the Church is a “parenthesis.”
A plan B.
An afterthought.

Meanwhile, the apostles — you know, those guys who walked with Jesus — taught that the Church is Israel. That those in Christ are Abraham’s seed. That there is no salvation outside of the Messiah.

But go try telling that to someone whose end-times theology was crafted by a British lawyer, rubber-stamped by Oxford Press, and financed by the Rothschilds.

Do Americans suffer from biblical illiteracy?
No.
They’ve got biblical amnesia and Scofield-induced delusions.
They don’t need a sermon — they need a spiritual exorcism.

Yes we see the catholics and the reformers as well as most in non denominational churches are biblically illiterate
So people in very remote isolated areas of the world with no access to the internet and a bible, where someone has been led to Christ and received His Spirit, can they grow into the image of Christ with the Spirit alone?

That leaves them totally biblically illiterate.

So, the Russian Orthodox people aren't Christians?

They teach things God's Word does not teach. You tell me.
It's your call - what's more important to you?

What God teaches, or what the Russian so called "orthodox" church teaches?

Most people actually put what their favorite religious organization teaches before what God teaches in His Word because they are under peer pressure to do so and they value their fellowship with others within their favorite religious organization more than they value their relationship with the Lord.

"Only those claiming that Russia is a "christian" nation would think that seeing they themselves are unhinged especially as they attack the Jews in solidarity with the nazis and the followers of islam. Very pathetic indeed."

You can't even keep track of your own baseless accusations.

Yes, Only those claiming that Russia is a "christian" nation would think that seeing they themselves are unhinged especially as they attack the Jews in solidarity with the nazis and the followers of islam. Very pathetic indeed.

You had some nasty things to say about the Jews so my statement is still true.

I'm not a fan of racists, but some apparently enjoy them some racism especially against the Jews which is yet another way we know racists are not being led by the Holy Spirit and instead are being led by demons

They think the Lord said "Love your neighbors as yourself unless they are Jews, it's OK to hate them"
