    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    Quite a coincidence ... I'm about to start a thread which begins with this passage!

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    If a Christian chooses to walk or run back to their old lifestyle of sin and stay there, they cannot lose their salvation because of this sin, rebellion, disobedience, etc. I.E. The new covenant is not a covenant at all ... it cannot be broken by either party!

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    Seems to me that you do not understand that all I am doing is showing that the NT warns about people walking away from the faith, and/or not walking in the Spirit, not being properly sanctified unto holiness, etc. See what I mean about people not understanding what they're reading? And this is...

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    I'm not interpreting squat ... but I can read plain English. I'm paraphrasing what the passages say, i.e. there isn't room to list them all. Or, wouldest thou desire for me to do so? I'd be happy to, but then people would need to be able to read and understand the words. Shall we try?

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    I don’t wish to bore you with dozens of these passages, so I’ll just give you my Top-10! Matt 6:14-15, Mark 11:25-26 • If you do not forgive those who have sinned against you, or those whom you have something against, Father God will not forgive you of your sins. 1 Cor 15:1-2 • You are saved...

    Why Didn't Jesus Know Everything?

    The Triune Godhead is definitely taught in Scripture, especially that ... Jesus is God, is equal to Father God, is the Creator, is the Giver of eternal life, etc. (there are fewer references to the Holy Spirit being God). So, IMO, to simplify things ... A person who does not believe that...

    Why Didn't Jesus Know Everything?

    The Word (the Logos) was/is God (John 1:1). The Word (the Logos) was with (Father) God in the beginning (John 1:1). The Word (the Logos) became flesh, i.e. Jesus. The Holy Spirit (God) played the Role of Jesus' "Father". Therefore, Jesus was called "the Son of God". "Son of God" and "Son of...

    Marching orders for those who believe God’s word

    There are plenty of honest and truthful books about church history. All of this began shortly after the original apostles died. But, I'm not sure about the acceleration of it. Many smaller Christian groups were not affected. The really BIG problem arose with the really BIG church...

    Marching orders for those who believe God’s word

    This was written 20 years ago … sorry for the delay in sharing it with you! For those who believe in the Word (Jesus) and in the word (the Bible) … Jesus was ANOINTED with power and authority over everything • “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me (Jesus), because He has anointed Me...

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Yes, I agree ... except there are many people today who haven't heard the gospel. There are many millions of Muslims (in small villages) who don't even have Qur'ans ... they totally trust in their Emams (priests) for everything spiritual. Hindus and Buddhists, I'm not sure.

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    This is all very nice and charitable on your part. It also is what the RCC desires ... all religions lumped into one, with the RCC being in charge of the future one-world religion. How do you explain all of the verses, such as: Jesus is the only way, Jesus is the Mediator between God and man...

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Yes, Hebrews 6:4-6 is preferable to me also.

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    I'm sorry, but I cannot put my finger on the 3 passages about believers who left Jesus, walked with Him no more, etc. But, these had previously been in the group who believed (pisteo), which is the same word used in such world-famous verses as John 3:16. Means nothing ... In most (all?) cases...

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    No, sorry, not the best choice of words! How should I state this? People who believe in false doctrines are in danger of them affecting their spiritual walk. IMO, many people who are trusting in false doctrines are on the broad road. These many are not on the straight and narrow road. An...

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Are you aware that some who believed (pisteou) ended up not being (staying) Christians, according to John?

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Paul said we are MORE guilty than the Jews because we have the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, etc., but the Jews only had a man (a prophet) to do this. They used to fight against him and say, "You're only a man, what do you know?"

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    It really means when you stick a fork in Romans, it's obvious that it's well done! And it's a disastrous method ... you really must first know how sharp the fork is!

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Hi Rose, OSAS means Once Saved Always Saved, i.e. a BAC (Born Again Christian) can never lose his/her salvation.

    “The Romans Road†has a disastrous fork in the road!

    Thou simply do not understand that without the Holy Spirit ... one is a spiritual moron, understanding very little of God's spiritual truth. Witness the OT Jews. BACs have the Spirit of God inside of them ... so they are able to follow God to God's satisfaction. If they choose to do this ...
