    Saved by Grace not of works !

    We are so thankful that salvation is available to ALL and not just the select few. Salvation is available because God does not want any to perish, because He wants many sons and Jesus paid the price for all not some. If He did not pay the price for all His sacrifice was not enough and that is...

    A Saviour unto Israel ?

    Not what God's word says 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. John O

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    Great is thy mercies O Lord and they are new every morning. Your grace is beyond all that we can imagine and I am so please that you reached out to me and that I did choose to respond to your salvation.' John O

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    Is it not just fantastic that the Creator of the whole universe would consider us mere man as worthy to be redeemed and saved by the blood of the Lamb of God. I rejoice that He would desire that all would be saved which brings hope to all who have family that are unsaved. John O

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    I am forever thankful that my God has reached out and redeemed a sinner like me. Words will never be able to adequately describe how I feel but this I know just as He gave me the opportunity to be saved He has made available to all this same opportunity. It matters not what others think on the...

    The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached !

    What a delight it is to know that the word of God will be preached and available to all are able to hear what God has done for them. To those alive in Christ it is full of life and great wisdom but to those dead in Christ it is foolishness but it will create a reaction in man either to fall upon...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    So the Word here is the Living Voice of their Shepherd heard through those that preach the Gospel to them , which produces Faith ! This is where I get confused [highlight words] with your thinking by your own definition isn't this works. Thats why I said that the end results of Christ's...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    You have answered what faith is and what and how Jesus has saved us -No problem with any of that but you actually didn't answer the question. How does a person know they are saved based upon your understanding? John O

    So based on your ridiculous argument please enlighten me as to how a person can know they are saved? John O

    Justified while Ungodly !

    Now don't let the scripture get in the way of you distortion of the word. You just write it how you wnt to interpret it. 2Th 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming, 2Th 2:9...

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    I hear a clang clang of cymbals as most certainly the logic being applied that God does not want to save all because He can not possibly allow His creation to serve and love Him because they might choose to. That all are condemned unless God chose you before the foundation of the earth does not...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Slider there was divine intervention what else could you call a blinding light. I and others do not and have never disputed that God initiated the intervention what we have been trying to say is that once He has done that a response (declaration of acknowledgement of what He has done) must...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    I have used the term "responded" in previous posts but on reflection a more accurate term would be "to declare" which is that once salvation has been received (of and by God only) we in acknowledgement of what God has done for us declare that salvation has come to us not of ourselves but of...

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    This makes no sense as the responding can only happen after the grace to salvation has been received which as we have all agreed comes from God not us so that we might not boast in that which has happened. I have used the term "responded" in previous posts but on reflection a more accurate term...

    The Work of Repentance Versus Faith Only

    Yes Reba I agree. If it was within our power to restore that in itself is not necessarily of God (not that I am discounting that God may require it of us and prompt us to do so) but so many things are not within the our power to restore. The murderer who at the realization of what they have...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    To whom much is given much is required. Paul had a tendency toward pride and God in His mercy placed things around His life that helped keep him humble showing him always that He could do all things through Christ but nothing of eternal value through Paul. God is a loving Father to those who...

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    I agree with this statement. Faith demands a response and Romans 12:1-3 shows what is an acceptable response. Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And do...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    Actually I teach what the Bible says you disagree with me on the area of whether to respond to the grace of God is considered of man or of God. I argue that it is the only logical attitude of man to the grace of God. Faith without works is dead, works without faith is dead. Works are a response...

    Saved by Grace not of works !

    Hebrews 11:6 states what it states I have only shared it to bring clarity on your comments, either it is what it says or God has a hidden explanation that we are not aware of. How do you explain this verse in particular the bolded section. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please...

    Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !

    I said that it is the only reasonable action that a man can do to the grace of God. Salvation is from God only but to love Him back is a requirement of man towards God. Seems the least he can do for such a free gift. John O
