We could learn a lot from them.
If you have not had one you wouldn't get it.
But if you have or do then you would get it.

What sin? We have no sins attributed to us. They have all been forgiven. Every last one. So, what's this sin you speak of that will cause us to "venture out" of God's love?

God loves us for who we are, not for what we do. You still don't get the simple fact that we have, and will always have, the righteousness of Jesus imputed to us. If we were ever to lose it, then Jesus would lose His.

And that isn't gonna happen.

When the Prodigal was living his life of sin, did his father turn his back on him and disown him? Nope. he always remained his son. And that is a beautiful picture of our relationship with our heavenly Father.



Ridiculous.



Even more ridiculous.



Our salvation isn't based on whether or not we "feel" it. Now you sound like a Mormon. Our salvation is based on God's promise that if we call upon the name of the Lord, we shall be saved.



Do you still sin every single day, Ralph?

Well, then by your own words, you're a hypocrite.



Yet again, this is the filth that keeps so many people in bondage, because your kind can't, and never could, tell people how many works are necessary for assurance. 10 a day? 50? 100?

It's all based on performance, and that puts such an incredible burden on people. They live a life if fear that they aren't measuring up, that God has abandoned them, that they perhaps aren't even saved.

That's the kind of guilt that cult leaders use to control their people.

If you add a single work to saving faith, salvation is no longer a gift, and it becomes a reward that you can boast about.

And God's not going allow you to share His glory for saving you.

This is true - "perfect Corgination casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Corgination"
