YES = by the Blood of Christ thru Faith in the Word of God

Not of works lest anyone should boast
The first question is can a man KNOW HE has eternal life .
Well if he dont know then his trust darn sure aint in CHRIST JESUS .
tis in something else .
The second question can folks BELIEVE they have eternal life
and yet be following a false jesus or some other false religion . YOU BET MOST NOW DO just that .
Many who lip the name of JESUS have taught this people NAUGHT but REBELLION to GOD and HIS CHRIST .
And i shudder in all out fear for them .
I mean ALL OUT FEAR for them . DENY JESUS and see what happens , YE GET DENIED BY HIM .
AND I KNOW full well JESUS made it darn certain one had to BELIEVE ON HIM to be saved
in fact LOOK at all them mighty strong dire warnings unto those who had not repented TO BELEIVE ON HIM
WORSE FOR YOU , WORSE FOR that city THAN EVER it was for sodom . That serious my friend .
I am totally terrrified for this false love religious peoples who know neither GOD or love .
Seeing i desire the death of none , I POINT to the ONLY ONE .
enjoy that rhyme . death of none , i point to the only ONE . THAT BE THE SON . oh enjoy that too .

That my friend i knew would surface in you soon enough .
A total betrayal of TRUSTING IN CHRIST ALONE . you all really do trust in works but dont realize it .
Allow me a reminder .
That YE MAY KNOW you have eternal life and that ye may beleive on JESUS .
IF a man does not TRUST IN CHRIST but thinks
oh we wont know for sure if one was saved till judgment day . I GOT BAD NEWS
THEY WERE not SAVED they trusted in themselves and will WEEP big time on HIS DAY .
NOW we all know GOD , CHRIST is no minstir of sin
SO if folks ran to a money loving one, WELL bad news for them too
IF folks ran to a judge not correct not jesus , BAD NEWS For them too .
If folks ran to a rainbow jesus , bad news for them .
THE PROOF one is HIS , IS SEEN in their fruits .
THE FRUIT of the wicked IS TO SIN .
THE FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all righteousness , godliness and TRUTH .
proving what is acceptable to GOD , not to men , not to the age , not to the generaition . TO GOD .
Its in Scripture, it didn't "surface" in me.

How many times do you need to be told faith without works is dead just like a body without a spirit is dead also. You live under this delusion that you are at odds with me. You're not. You're at odds with Scripture. Nothing I've written is my own words.

Agree, and yet their is something odd about '66' books.

Where are the missing '4' books that would bring it to 70 and or 77

We know the extra books that RCC added are not H.S. inspired scripture.
Honestly think that Rome added the other books in order to try to support their erroneous teachings, as they were not supported in the 66 books of canon

You believe that there is one God. You do well to assert that. But even the demons believe and tremble. James 2:19. You're in good company I see.

Who put the bible together before the Catholic Church. Show evidence for your answer. Your commentary is meaningless. I can't wait.

Agree

i assume that there is more Truth that has been hidden and/or destroyed.

What we now have of the Holy Scriptures is MORE then Sufficient for us = all the Way to His Second Coming

David beware of something my friend .
its the preaching OF THE CROSS we preach . not creation and anything else .
David i cannot see this at all in His creation .
Proof of GOD , HIS existance , THAT I can see in nature , in the stars and moon and planets ,etc
BUT it lacks one major thing .
What do you suppose that is my friend .
I mean even buddits , even muslims , even new age and many
can see proof of the existance of GOD in creation .
BUT THEY SURE DONT KNOW the WAY TO HIM and DENY that WAY TO HIM .
JESUS MUST be preached . I dont focus on wisdom of words or anything
lest the cross of Christ become of no effect .
The preaching OF the gospel IS A MUST . as i am sure YOU DO AGREE big time with that my friend .
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

It is there Brother, just few can see it.

We DO NOT worship the creation = we worship the Creator

After having been born again
What is your opinion NOW of that RCC place , THAT THE LORD led you out of my friend .
WHEN the LORD calleth His own , Its COME ye out from amongst lest ye partake of her sins and recieve of her plagues .
i found Her in Revelation and also in the letters of the Apostle Paul and of course the Gospel = WARNING us of Her

Apostle Peter, whom i believe, describes it this way

1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.


Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,

Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.

The word sufficient doesnt appear there. Can you think or is it just rote memorization? If something is sufficient what does that mean?

That which God has Spoken and is clearly written for our Salvation CANNOT be nullified by that which is not...................
