[SIZE=12pt]What follows is a trinity sampling of obscure passages,
which, in their very unique and tactful way, warn of salvation lost.

First, Paul explains to Timothy what godliness is all about.
See if you can discern the connection between godliness and salvation
in these 2 obscure passages …
[/SIZE]

• “… that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires
all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim 2:2-4)


• “… exercise yourself toward godliness.
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things,
having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.” (1 Tim 4:7-9)


[SIZE=12pt]And here’s another obscure passage to get discernment on:[/SIZE]

• “Now she who is really a widow, and left alone,
trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.
And these things command, that they may be blameless.” (1 Tim 5:5-7)

Obscure passages? What makes them obscure?

No matter. Look, I'm more along the lines of predestination as taught in the bible. Warnings don't bother me in that respect. Those that are predestined will overcome, but they have to overcome something. The fact that there is sonething to lose doesn't change God's will.

1 John 5:4-5 NIV for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

It's no wonder you are having problems grasping spiritual Truth ... reading the Nearly Inspired Version.
Don't you know that the Global Elite have corrupted most of the new versions?

Meanwhile, what do you think about what Jesus wrote to your present-day church?

Revelation 3:
14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—
and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Ezekiel 3:20-21 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

There is no such thing as once saved always saved. Here in Ezekial we behold a righteous man, doing righteousness. But then he turned from his righteousness, and committed iniquity. Would that man have been saved in his iniquity? No. How then can he be once saved always saved? How can any man be righteous without the Lord? Are not only those who believe, and do righteousness, righteous? So then, why would this righteous man be lost, and all his righteousness forgotten, if he was once saved always saved? Why does it matter if he commits iniquity or not if this man is once saved always saved?

Would God pluck a man who turns from his righteousness out of His hand? Yea or nay? Yea, even if a righteous man were the signet upon God's hand, if he turned and committed iniquity, would God pluck him out of His hand?

Jeremiah 22:24-25 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; 25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

We are only justified once Zach.

Rom 10:9-10 NIV If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

John 6:47 NIV Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was having christians believe they can lose their salvation.
and convincing the world he don't exist.

The devil would never say we are en route to hell. That would cause us to examine ourselves. The devil will always tell us that we are en route to heaven.

Great copy paste, but you did not deal with the question. All your scripture apply only to one who is in Christ. We have to judge ourselves to be in Christ. Paul makes that crystal clear. Now proposing people just believe believe believe / repeat repeat repeat as you copy paste ...that they are in Christ....is exactly what the devil wants.

The devil has not come to convict us of sin, the Holy Spirit did.

You're not going to make it to heaven without believing Zach. Christ is the only bridge to God Rom 10:9, John 6:47. Are you ready to believe?

Mark 16:16 NIV Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

John 3:18 NIV Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

Rom 8:1-2 NIV Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Rom 8:34 ESV Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Col 2:13-15 NIV When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us ALL our sins, 14having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

2 Thess 2:11-12 NIV For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Jude 1:4-5 NIV For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 5Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.

We cannot believe a man who walked the earth 2000 years ago is anything more then a man unless God reveals it to us. So you cannot say to Zach that he must believe. Don't you see the irony. We must believe but we can only believe when it is revealed to us that Jesus is Lord. The Holy Spirit only does this after we are after His heart...as Zach says ''hating sin / repenting''....then our minds and hearts are judged Jer 17:10, then Jesus comes in Rev 3:20, then we get a revelation of Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Nobody can believe / call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Spirit! 1 Cor 12:3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

The devil will always tell us that we are en route to heaven.
Far easier as you can see from the number of negative posts, to convince christians that they are all sinners and are not saved si that they all walk in unbelief, far easier battle to win as its all the flesh.

Agreed!!
Pity you all have no idea what Christ did on that cross, if you did, you would not be having so much trouble wuth sin,

you know this bit

Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

You see, if you believed Jesus sin would not be a problem because,

Rom_8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

But those who walk after the flesh will always be having issues with sin, because they feel condemned which means they are not walking in the spirit, dont believe jesus and walking after there flesh. And still go tell everyonr else they are sinners??

In all His Love

Qvestion for everyone ...

IF it's A-OK for believers to continue sinning whilst OSAS is true,
why are there more than 100 verses written to the churches,
which warn and threaten believers in those churches:
-- sin leads to eternal death
-- salvation can be lost
-- eternal death can be gained
-- entrance into the kingdom of God can be blocked
-- entrance into the New Jersusalem can be blocked
etc.
