It’s really all quite simple .....they don't believe the Gospel.....That first half of it that says “ Jesus died for our sins ?” .......they say that just like they sing” Nothing But The Blood ...they say and sing these things mindlessly —-What they “ really” Believe is quite the opposite. If they really believed that Jesus “ died for their sins”, they would never question their Salvation again.They would be set free. “Set Free” to be a Slave .....isn’t Christianity Amazing? In a great way !
So don't do it.

You do not understand Hebrews 6 .....you probably do not understand Hebrews 10 either ...you take them out of context I am not giving to waste my time — AGAIN — to explain them...
•Some Scripture Applies exclusively to One Side...of The divided people.
•Some Scripture Applies exclusively to the Other Side...of the Divided people.
Man, do you realize how contrary to the truth these comments are?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
So, since all scripture is not “to you”,
only some of it, you will never be perfect and thoroughly equipped to all good works.
Man, wake up and open your eyes! Purge out whatever doctrine has brought you to this point.
I adhere to ALL of the Gospel....not just Pauls.
Got it!
The Catholic Church and any Protestant that disagrees with you are wrong because you are always right because you would never post anything you know to be lie.
Only particular Scriptures Apply to me.
Jesus cleared the temple of money lenders, and sacrificial animals. Why did Jesus do that? He did it because of what He and Only He could do, and did do.
The Old Testament is about a pagan people.
You would be best reading up on it. Briefly, when they went to Jerusalem at Passover, instead of taking animals with them for sacrifice they would buy them in the temple when they got there, even borrowing money from the moneylenders for the purpose. The temple that was supposed to be holy, was turned into a market place. Jesus cleared them out, what they were doing was abhorrent to him and an insult. You read the scriptures I posted I assume. Neither does this have anything to do with OSAS. It sounds to me as though you have some crazy religion of your own making.Jesus cleared the Temple Of “Thieves”——- he even said as much....
NOWHERE does it say that he “ drove out” the Sacrificial Animals .....God DEMANDED these sacrifices....”without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness for sins....”
Despite all of their “pagan ness , sinfulness and lack of Faith at times.....like it our not —- the OT is about a race of “ Chosen People” , Gifted with the Commandments and Promises Of God—- whether they obeyed them or not....
Romans 15:4 KJV
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Suit yourself.
All scripture applies to me to learn from it and be made wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:15 KJV
[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
By your own words you have limited yourself and will never attain to wisdom in the faith. Which is why you believe a doctrine like Once Saved Always Saved.
Hi BB53,I explained myself .....I am no different than you, except that you are too silly to talk to...
Do you post lies ? I hope not....
Let me say this.....let me know if you have the intelligence and the humility to agree and say the same thing——
I “ could” be WRONG about everything that I think, say, or do.....I do not Believe that I “am” however . I pray....I study....I ask God to send me to the best Teachers of the Word out there ( God sends wise Teachers to us as gifts) .There is just One Bible, But there are thousands of different interpretations .....I don’t think anybody this side of Heaven gets it 100% Right.....I ask God to send me to those that teach closest to His Truth....
I never post here without first asking God to be with me in my mind with Correct as possible Doctrine and I also ask Him to be in my Heart, to try to genuinely Bless others with what I believe to be True.....what else can a person do?
Do you have the sense and the humility to admit , as I did, that you could possibly be wrong about everything you post?
You can read about the pagan god of the Israelites here. Yahweh - Wikipedia
I explained myself .....I am no different than you, except that you are too silly to talk to...
2 Timothy 2:13 ......” If we are Without Faith, He remains Faithful , because He cannot renounce Himself...”
The Gospel says that “ Jesus died for my Sins” ....so what Sins did He NOT die for that could ever cause me to go to Hell?
My Faith is in “ Nothing But The Blood”...
If there is ANYTHING out there other than Resting in the Gospel Of 1Cor15:1-4 to get one Saved ( and there isn’t) it’s up to God to take care of it
When the Jew committed a sin and offered up his sacrifice, it showed him that every time he sinned, there was a PRICE to be paid.....an INNOCENT’S Blood had to be shed .....something INNOCENT had to pay for what YOU did!
THAT pointed to Jesus and that was the only value of it....
Yes, I see your point and I agree with it. Soooo what I think that we are agreeing to is that one SHALL be saved IF one does certain things and continues to do them?

There is a type of self-blindness which makes a person unable to see or accept that no one is sinlessly perfect,
There are those who claim that they have totally victory over sin - that they no longer sin, like one guy on CF who said that he had not sinned for the last 30 years! But what is this other than the doctrine of entire sanctification by faith of Wesleyan Methodists and members the Nazarene church?
It is impossible for an Arminian to have full assurance of salvation.
I suppose that reading the Bible is conducive to having spiritual blindness...for it teaches that a person can be entirely sanctified (of which the term "sinlessly perfect" is applied as a misnomer in an attempt to create a straw man that is easily toppled by 1 John 1:8...while entire sanctification does not teach that sin is eradicated (i.e. we do not become sinless) when we obtain that second benefit...but rather that the element of sin within us is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14)).
It is impossible for a Calvinist to have real assurance. Follow my reasoning. According to Calvinism, if someone thought that they were saved, but later fell away, they were never really saved in the first place. Therefore, if I fall away in the future (a factor which is unknown to me), I do not have salvation now. Since I have no way of knowing whether I will persevere or fall away in the future, whether or not I am saved in the current moment is up in the air....no way of knowing whether I am truly saved or not in the current moment. Just a bare cockiness that because I believe in eternal security, therefore I must be eternally secure myself.
It seems to me that some are afraid of the prospect of having assurance of salvation and continued security as they maintain their faith in Christ. As soon as someone says, "I am eternally secure because of my faith and trust in the finished work of Christ", they are met with accusations of false doctrine, antimomian practice (which is doing what one pleases with their life while continuing in their religion).
There is a type of self-blindness which makes a person unable to see or accept that no one is sinlessly perfect, that often we sin through omission and commission, and mostly through our own fault. There are those who maintain that all conscious sin is the type of willful sin that threatens salvation, and they post condemnation on those who "willfully" sin, but don't specify what these "willful" sins are and who actually commits them.
There seems to be a tarring and feathering of anyone who comes on the thread and says, "I am eternally secure through my faith in Christ". But all the accusers can do is to give generalised comments that all who claim OSAS have to be living a life of willful sin.
There are those who claim that they have totally victory over sin - that they no longer sin, like one guy on CF who said that he had not sinned for the last 30 years! But what is this other than the doctrine of entire sanctification by faith of Wesleyan Methodists and members the Nazarene church?
Then there are the Arminians who adopt a semi-Pelagian theology that says that it is all up to us to decide to be saved through Christ, and that maintenance of the Christian life and holiness is through personal choice, and so may choose to be saved one day, and yet choose to be lost through sin the next. These are the ones who fill counsellors' offices filled with fear that they may end up being rejected at the Judgment. It is impossible for an Arminian to have full assurance of salvation. The live a type of bipolar religious existence - up in glory one day, and down in the valley of the shadow of death the next. This is why many take a legalistic stance and are very judgmental of those who are not as "holy" as they are. They cannot accept that someone who does not live up to their legalistic standard can claim full assurance of salvation.
