Eternal life

eternal = forever
Life = living, born again, undead, ressurected.


The catholic church destroyed the meaning of the word and made a mockery of it.

Good luck on your conditional life my friend. I hope it works out for you
1 Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1 John 3:15
Whosoever hateth his brother is amurderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

how did he lose it?

you will never inherit the kingdom of God or attain to eternal salvation if you fulfill lust of the flesh even if you think your saved by faith alone!

I suppose since you have eternal security by faith alone you can ignore scripture?

Grace and works do not mix. Water baptism is a work.

I am done.. You keep on boasting and pumping your chest like a pharisee.. I will go on praising the God who saved me
what bible do you read?

one verse and your undone!

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace issufficient for thee: for my strength ismade perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

one more that says your not saved!

mt 10:22 he who endures to the end shall be saved!

death and judgment then eternal salvation!

no pride just truth against the errors and novelties of the great 16th century revolt!

your pet doctrines are more important than scripture!

Amen!
