dont we all have a beam in our eye
A few days ago, I went to the St. Peter's Square in Vatican where there is a representative of the landscape .It seems like a key from the sky,which as A symbol of the Lord Jesus gave Peter.
Revelation [kjv] 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Matthew [kjv] 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
First,what does the key mean? According to the scriptures both it is related with human's life and death and decides whether humans go to heaven. So why did Jesus give such an important key to Peter. only can I think of the Lord Jesus should be like Peter.How do you think about it? I am confused and I need help.
In Romans 7: 24-25 Paul describes the war between the flesh and the spirit, between the old nature and the new man.
And that is what it is....its a war.
In Romans 6:11 Paul tells us to esteem ourselves dead to sin..
In Romans 12:1 Paul tells us to "present our body a living sacrifice", and in Colossians 3:5 Paul tells us to literally put our flesh away, to not let it control us..
So, both Romans 12:1 and Colossians 3:5 are talking about what WE do after we are saved....this is our effort, our part, our discipleship = to resist the devil, to overcome temptation, and to "be holy as God is holy", as Peter writes it in 1 Peter 1:16.
Well said.
So what happens if we neglect or decline to do those things?

Well, there are 2 things that we need to realize.
One, is that all those "works", are to follow salvation., however, they dont impact salvation, they impact our fellowship with God and our Christian witness.
Kidron nice to learn what your plan is
And there's where we will have to disagree. I read it differently.
iakov the fool
well dressed, well spoken, and often intellectual sounding devils, have ruined the new convert's once beautiful and simple faith in Christ,
So, does "once saved always saved" really address this fact? Uh, no.
What being saved does, ...or what you refer to as "OSAS addressed"..... is the fact that you belong to God and you cant be unborn again based on your behavior subsequent to the Cross.
The way it works is like this......what cant save you, cant cause you to lose it.
You might think on that for a while, Smaller.
So, what is "being addressed" is that the Blood Atonement is the only thing God accepts to accept you by your Faith, and once done, its done.,
Does OSAS address temptations of the tempter, internally, to SAVE the tempter? Uh, nada. Ain't gonna happen.
and that is a different subject.
OSAS can not possibly save that which is CONTRARY to the Spirit. Get it?
And i never spoke of the Blood atonement keeping you from being tempted.
So, what are you talking about?
