This is why..... we do not want to be like the foolish Galatians.
Galatians 1:6-8
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

Yup! Y'all remember that Pisteou guy we had here for a while? That boy done told us over and over again about "faithing" and "in the greek" its a verb.
But at the end of the day LETS STICK WITH THE ENGLISH, if we cant make it past words like "FREE" and "GIFT". At that point you've reached a level of comprehension where no amount of greek can help.
Pick up an english dictionary and see what the words "FREE" and "GIFT" mean and then we can start looking at the greek words.
On the bright side: We had a succesful soul-winning saturday.

No such animal in the Bible
Either you are a SHEEP or a GOAT. The SHEEP: Jesus will lose NONE of them, but give them eternal life:
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

I know Lightskin , so hard to fathom people who try to earn something they cannot earn.
"Self"
.... hence the narrow gate.
I heard the complete Gospel for the first time by a total stranger... and I was shocked that all that time I was completely wrong in my understanding.... trying to be good and earn my way.
I was so relieved, why would I want to work for something already accomplished for me.
Once I understood the work of the cross fully, I realized how illogical it is to think we can add to what has been done and completed.
