We may get crowns, but scripture reveals when we see Him...we will throw them at His feet. I can understand why now.

You are correct stonesoffire, I was making the point that Jesus deserves all the honor, praise and glory and power.

"the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist, and came to be.”…Rev4:10,11

I still can't grasp it. I think there IS no eternal life apart from Him, only the prospect of eternal death. Living forever in eternal torment is not eternal death. It is eternal life. Eternal death to me means ceasing to exist with no prospect of ever living again...if eternal life is in Him, how is it that someone without His Spirit would live forever? That means eternal life is somehow in them apart from Him.

I do believe Satan has eternalness but I don't think we do. I think we, apart from Him, will be raised again only to die in the judgement.

But I am still working on it.

Right now you believe in annihalationism.

The saved go to be with God.
The unsaved are annihalated.

This is what you have to ask yourself to decide if it's correct:

Did Jesus ever speak of hell?
What IS hell?

If you just disappear because you're an unbeliever, is THAT hell?

Wrong, Paul is arguing against earning salvation by works, he even calls people fools for thinking we are saved by faith, but maintain that salvation by works,

james is fighting people who claim to have faith but have no works period, i.e., they do not have the works paul said ALL who have been saved will have.

are you aware of your twist of words, in this post.
strange thing context, when was believing in something an action, when was listening an action.

strange thing 70 ad. it was in place before you opened your bible.

since this eye witness, already had belief in jesus christ, hearing in faith, would be what i have said all along (rhema) reading about works of law,( logos)

.2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith Galatians 3:

Why not study some theology instead of reading only the bible?
If you did you'd know what Justification is without having to depend on Grace.

I mean, really, you depend on people HERE to TEACH you things?

Sad state of affairs!

What's your beef? Did I say that?

Yes, this is what OSAS is all about.....the plain words of scripture 'don't really' mean what they say. When I realized how many scriptures you have to do this to to arrive at a OSAS conclusion I got off the fence about the subject. It's easily the most dishonest doctrine in all the church. But this doctrine is so empowered by demons who appeal to the flesh, and that's why so many defend it so fiercely, even when it is shown to be the unreasonable doctrine that it is.

The only rational argument worth discussing is whether or not the true believer can stop believing. That's the only OSAS argument I will entertain.

OSAS did not even exist until the 1,500's. It took Calvin to make it up.
So all the other theologians until Calvin were wrong according to those who believe in eternal security.
HOW anyone could even think this is truly odd to me.

15 people say one thing
1 person says something different.
Some of those 15 knew the inventor of the thing.

But I believe the 1.

Strange indeed.
Sounds sooooo nice though when actually it is NOT.
Because, if they can say that one fell away because he never believed to begin with...

How do they KNOW they are saved???
They DON'T!

If they thought about this for a minute, they'd give up OSAS in a flash.
