    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    Apparently not. Please explain it to me.

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    It's not absurd, it is what differentiates the saved from the lost... 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life...

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    It is possible for a saved person to be bewitched by the deceptive tennants of legalism like many Christians of the NT were, but that does not mean they lost their salvation. But I do know by experience that the life they are living is like a living hell, being sujected to the curse of the law...

    Precedent Faith

    You said it was entirely comforting, especially if your name is in the book. This says it is comforting to those who are not in the book, but even more comforting to those who are in it. Did you mean to say that, or was it a misstatement?

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    The context was that the Israelites (all but 3) did not trust God, but were afraid of the "giants" living in the promised land. Their fear of the giants revealed their lack of trust in God. That was their "evil heart of unbelief" that caused them to "depart from the living God". However, the...

    Precedent Faith

    This is a misstatement, right? You can't be saying that "it's entirely comforting to know all this" if your name is not in the Book? Or do you think there are people entirely comforted whose names are not in the Book? I guess that's possible. That brings up a good question... how does one come...

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    I wonder how many sins a person can get away with and still be counted as having done good. All indications are that even one sin disqualifies a person. Unless it is forgiven. That's the only navigable path for humans. Even Catholics believe that, right? Why else would they have such a thing as...

    Yes, we stand in the grace of God, we possess the eternal life that only exists in Jesus, and we are joined to the Lord and are one spirit with Him. It doesn't get any better than that on earth. It will be even better in heaven when we see Him face to face.

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    The Beatitudes describe what is true for those who are saved. They are the poor in spirit, they mourn, they are meek, they hunger and thirst for righteousness, they are merciful, they are pure in heart, they are peacemakers, and they are persecuted for righteousness’ sake. Having these traits...

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    You asked for Scripture that supports my point of view that trust in Christ is under assault even today, that people everwhere need know that all their eggs are safe in only one basket, and they need to resist all calls to not put them there and keep them there. I gave you one example from...

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    Sure. Here's one example... 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...

    No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Co 10:13) The problem with salvation being...

    Trust in Christ is under assault even today. People everwhere need know that all their eggs are safe in only one basket. And they need to resist all calls to not put them there and keep them there.

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    Yes, these are among many verses that speak of our salvation. And seeing ourselves in them gives us great insight into the glories of the wonderful salvation that we are experiencing. Two of my favorites are from 2 Corinthians: 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away...

    Grace... "By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand." (1 Pe 5:12) Eternal Life... "And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son...

    Bible Study Do we love the truth!

    Yes. That concerns our flesh with it's evil desires and the deeds it inspires because... the body is still dead because of sin (Ro 8:10). But for those who are in Christ there is no condemnation (Ro 8:1). In other words, all the mercy that we need has been given to us and is ours to be thankful...

    I'm not sure those whose names are in the book will be read out loud, though we do know that those whose names are not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. I could be wrong though. Do you know of a verse that says they will be read out loud? Why are you waiting until...

    I reported you for these remarks.

    I care very little for these few of apparently hundreds of things in your dogma. Of particular concern in the things posted here is the lack of understanding 1) that faith in Christ that leads to salvation is a human capability possessed by all humans, 2) that God draws all people to Himself...

    For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (1 Co 1:21) Answer: It pleases God to save those who believe.
