    Salvation Basics - Born of God

    It is curious to me that even though you admit to not knowing what Jesus was telling Nicodemus, you say you are certain that He was not talking about the need to be born again in the here-and-now. Yet, the evidence you cite in support of your conclusion (i.e., part of a passage in 1 Corinthians...

    The use of Lexicons and Strongs Concordance.

    You do know that you are placing a great deal of trust in the people who created and used the resources you are castigating, right? You do know that the Bible was not originally written in English, but in Hebrew, Greek, and several other languages to a lesser extent. And to make matters worse...

    I thought it was both. Thanks for clarifying.

    Salvation Basics - Born of God

    I just read your top posts in both threads. Both are from about a year ago. Are you still seeking clarification, or have you made up you mind that being born again is not for now but for later?

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    Are you a part of a denomination that teaches such things? If so, can you point me to some resources that may help me understand your background?

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    I take this to mean that you are not aware of the fact that God gives birth to us by His Spirit when He comes to live in our hearts. And the link you provided indicates you believe it is earned at the end of a life well lived. If I'm right, you'll probably object to the thread I just started...

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    It does not make sense to say on one hand that we must have eternal life in order to be able to walk in the Spirit (which we are commanded to do here and now) and to say on the other hand that we do not gain eternal life until the end of our life on earth.

    I had a feeling you were going to make that point but I had no idea you would relate it to having sex with someone.

    Salvation Basics - Born of God

    John wrote... 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Jn...

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    This passage in John makes no mention of us knowing Him. It only mentions Him knowing us. And there are no prerequisites mentioned either. (Web definition of prerequisite: "a thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist") Being joined to the Lord and being...

    Salvation Basics - Curse of the Law

    Paul wrote... 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the...

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    You are right that Jesus was referring to the blessing it is to know God. He was indicating that the greatest blessing of having life that has no end is the fact that living forever gives people an eternity to get to know God better. But even though we will have an eternity to get to know Him...

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    Yes, we believe in the diety of Christ. But I'm posting this in the Soteriology forum on purpose to discuss salvation in particular. Maybe they can add a forum on Christology if there is not one already.

    Salvation Basics - Saving Faith

    Scripture says... 4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard...

    Salvation Basics - Eternal life

    I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking. I quoted 4 verses and adressed three questions that those verses answer. The point of those verses and my post is that eternal life is life that lasts forever, it is possessed by Jesus and He gives it to whomever He wishes, and once a person has...

    Jesus said... 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. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My...

    Salvation Basics

    Jesus said... 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not...
