    (Some) OSASers must believe that God created human robots!

    Then what do you make of this? ... Matthew 25: 44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Here we go again with the "never sin?" stuff. (Edited, ToS 2.4. Obadiah) "But IF we (continue to) walk in the light as He is in the light, we (continue to) have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son (continues to) cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    You're not alone, that's for sure. People misunderstand me for ALL kinds of reasons! IMO, this whole deal about sin and repentance comes down to the condition of a person's heart towards God.

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15) The extreme example of this is … the mafia killer who goes to mass every week, and dutifully confesses his sins to his priest. Evidently, he has been raised to believe that...

    (Some) OSASers must believe that God created human robots!

    (Some) OSASers believe either (1) or (2): (1) God chose (elected) certain humans to be given His free gift of grace-faith (2) humans chose who would believe and receive God’s free gift of grace-faith Either way … these humans are created into born-again Christians. They are transformed into new...

    Another obstacle we must overcome for eternal life

    After 6 months, everything began to change: ideas, opinions, attitudes, devouring the word, etc. Interestingly, years later, I heard Billy Graham testify of the same thing: 6 months! Made my day! Scriptures says the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are sons of God.

    Another obstacle we must overcome for eternal life

    I believe most of us define a BAC as one who has received the Holy Spirit, who is dwelling within. But, his free will enables him to do whatever he pleases. He can make the choice to fall away from God's grace, i.e. from eternal life. He can, however, choose to return, but God does have His time...

    Who will be miraculously protected on the terrible Day of the Lord?

    Malachi 3: 16 - Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name. 17 - “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I make...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    John 10 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. This is true relationship ... nothing more, nothing less ... and the end result of it.

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Matthew 7: 21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Here's a lesson which VERY FEW people on Christian forums are willing to embrace: "But IF we (continue to) walk in the light as He is in the light, we (continue to) have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son (continues to) cleanses us from all sin. If we say that...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    As is falling away a completely different subject altogether John from da OP. Jesus don't like no excuses! ... Butski, I think they're great, so no offense taken. Praise Report: Since da Chopper is a Baptist, I'm assuming he sides with you on OSAS. Of course, he could set the record straight...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Now here's a guy who has an idea of what's goin' on! Yeshua will protect those who are really close to Him ... throughout every horrendous moment of it. By this I mean those who are not involved in habitual unrepented-of sin. But, just exactly what sins are these ... and how holy must we be...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    I'll give it one final try ... God's initial free gift of grace (God's unmerited favor) is never guaranteed to last forever. This has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit indwelling us "forever" until we die. Just thought of this ... God is omnipresent. There are multitudes of verses warning of...

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    Yes, of course, you are correct. Those falling away are falling away from the faith, the church, and etc.

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    2 Thes 2: 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you...

    No problem with 370 ... it's sittin' (or blown up) in Pakistan. But, I wonder where the 22 Chinese scientists are now?

    Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines

    2 Thes 2:3 "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away (apostacy) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition ..." This is talking about the falling away from the faith of many believers in the last days. They will do so for...
