Is God’s grace available to all people?
Grace to the poor - James 2:5 Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? We are instructed to cloth ourselves with humility as well as God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud. -

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Paul wrote that love does no harm to one's neighbor and fulfills all the law. James was writing about showing favoritism to the rich. But did write if you love your neighbor as yourself, you're doing right. Other than James must have come across favoritism in the church I'm not sure why he... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
It does teach grace. I knew with certainty Jesus Lives even before receiving the Spirit of Christ in me. No power can deceive me away from Him. He wouldn't allow it anyway as its His Fathers will to raise us up on the last day and no one can snatch us from His hands. Ok lets end here. -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
Those born again will not continue and cannot continue to sin. How is that disobedience? The fruit of obedience, love, should be seen in those born of God. They also know Christ as He knows the Father and can never be deceived away from the truth as God keeps them safe and the evil one cannot... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
It directly written Jesus keeps those born again safe. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. That God is able to keep us from falling. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
What Jesus stated is true. In regard to those born again they will abide in Him. AGAIN how can they be unborn apart from sin? We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. The verses I have given to... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
The Spirit was not poured out yet when He stated that. Did it not apply to His current audience? I have answered your question several times. Your assumption He's speaking of those sealed in Him by the Spirit is mistaken. So, if you continue in His teachings or hold to His teachings would be... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
He also said if you HOLD to my teaching you REALLY are my disciples. He never stated anything about being born again that is your assumption. This is what He stated in that regard. “If you love me, keep my commands. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
Actually it should be sealed in Him by the Spirit. OR Born again If you want to believe everyone who proclaims Christ including Mormons and JW's are born again your free to do so. The Apostles certainly believed in Jesus before they were born again. Paul asked some to examine themselves to see... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
If Jesus's disciples walked away from Him then they were once His Disciples. Born not of human decision but born of God is God choosing us. A judgment made in ones favor. To those Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
He said lots of things I have showed you. He stated of those who were His disciples that walked away from Him that no one could come to Him unless the Father enabled them. "His disciples" Just as He stated that ALL that the Father gave Him would come to Him and its His Fathers will to lose none... -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
God keeping those in Christ safe from the evil one is found in the NT.Saving Grace is found in the NT. The question I asked Bart was given to me from above. If He once had the witness of the Spirit in His inner being He would know Jesus lives. He wouldn't have even received that gift if He... -

Why does it state His disciples walked away from Him? -

John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation
Many of Jesus's disciples left Him because of His teachings. He knew from the start those that didn't believe in Him and would later betray Him. He stated this is why I said no one came come to me unless the Father enables them. (grace) Apparently being the bread of life that came down from... -

Did the Son have a beginning?
Humility and a teachable spirit suggests to me you're implying something that is not orthodox as neither are needed to state what the church affirms as true. I could be reading that wrong. I tend to distance myself from no beginning even with the Father. Its a question of unbegotten vs...
