Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines
I am suggesting that many believers need to start over ... hopefully with a totally open mind ... to receive spiritual Truth from the Holy Spirit while studying the Scriptures. -
Reasons why you are very unwise to trust your church’s doctrines
Alternate title Choose this day whom you will believe: Scripture and the Holy Spirit, or your church. Reasons why the churches historically have taught false doctrines • Satan is “the god/ruler of this age/world” (2 Cor 4:4, John 12:31) “the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world”... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
Do you not believe that some are especially elected before the foundation of the world? And, do you not believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father and heaven? -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
If you are indeed referring to Romans 6:15-23, many BRAVOs! For you are the ONLY one I have come across in the Christian forums ... who sees and admits exactly what Paul is warning the Romans about in this passage. People prefer to think he is just teaching them: since you are BACs, you are... -
Scripture somewhat conceals the truth about man’s salvation
Instead of ignoring supposedly conflicting Scriptures re: how man is given eternal life, I have attempted to reconcile the situation and explain how I see it. God definitely had His reasons for somewhat concealing the real truth about this. There is clear Scriptural support for everything stated... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
Sure, but why aren't thou rejoicing over the Promise in post #7? Perhaps you don't believe it? -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
And there have been several attempts to rationalize their way out of the warnings. An old one, now seemingly abandoned, is they are only for the purpose of rewards. My own is: they are only for the elect, to ensure they will heed them unto being fully sanctified. (God has seen who does this... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
Who is "we"? You're talking theoretical ... I'm talking practical. And so was Paul in Rom 6:15-23 when he warned them to stop being slaves of sin! -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
Your blue is so correct. But, I doubt that you "see" Paul's real intent as he continues on in Romans 6:15-23. E.G. he very tactfully tells them that their salvation depends on them NOT being slaves of sin. He is NOT explaining to them the end of unbelievers, correct? He is warning them to... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
Greetings, and welcome! IMO, we accept Him because He first gave us His free gift of grace-faith. But, true saving faith is demonstrated and proven by obedience. And this in itself disproves OSAS. All of the many dozens of warnings are for this purpose: to make sure the elect are on board... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you … “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength”, then … “His commandments are not burdensome”. Don’t forget, Jesus said... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
I believe this will answer your questions ... It's okay, and even expected, that you will sin occasionally. And you can take care of the situation, i.e. you can maintain your righteousness... "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the... -
The NT insists that you must obey Jesus to gain eternal life!
There are multitudes of warning passages that do not blatantly warn of losing eternal life. Here is one of my favorites: Matt 7:24-27 • “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the... -
What has Satan’s hatred of man resulted in?
Yes, Jeff, and to go a little further ... he attacks those who are most spiritually powerful. I.E. Some BACs have more of God's anointing than others. -
What has Satan’s hatred of man resulted in?
• “For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Revelation 12:12) You’ve heard about God’s plans for Satan (and the angels who followed him). This is the reason why Satan hates God’s elect so much … because they get to be with God... -
Oh well, at least Clint Eastwood understood apostle Paul
Ahhhh, no Clint Eastwood fans here ... I didn't think so. -
Oh well, at least Clint Eastwood understood apostle Paul
Background information • Paul was trained “in the Spirit” for 17 years in the desert regions (Galatians 1:16-2:2). • He received his spiritual information from the risen Jesus (Galatians 1:11-12). • Jesus called him to evangelize the Gentiles (Acts 26:17-18, Romans 15:15). Paul’s churches • He... -
What does the term “Spirit-filled” mean?
Spirit-filled means “filled with the Holy Spirit”, which is found only in these verses: Luke 1:15, 1:41, 1:67, 4:1 … Acts 2:1-4, 4:8, 4:31, 9:17, 13:9 … Eph 5:18. The Holy Spirit coming “upon” people always indicates the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:5-8 “… you shall be baptized with the...
