Absolutely agree.. sharing ideas... and I have learned and reflected which I like.
its good to know why people believe the way they do instead of assume like sadly to many here do.
all that leads is to attacks, false accusations and fights.

I get angry when I see people refusing to listen to others, then start to attack them by saying they believe what they do not or they are confronted with a question they can’t answer, and they respond with attacks to take attention of them
it makes all of us look bad when we do this, and you know if they do that they are not open to anything

WRONG INTERPRETATION YET AGAIN!
Quote:
Gal. 5:4 justified. See notes on 2:16; Romans 3:24. estranged from Christ... fallen from grace. The Greek word for estranged means “to be separated” or “to be severed.” The word for fallen means “to lose one’s grasp on something.” Paul’s clear meaning is that any attempt to be justified by the law is to reject salvation by grace alone through faith alone. Those once exposed to the gracious truth of the gospel, who then turn their backs on Christ (Heb. 6:4-6) and seek to be justified by the law are separated from Christ and lose all prospects of God’s gracious salvation. Their desertion of Christ and the gospel only proves that their faith was never genuine (cf. Luke 8:13, 14; 1 John 2:19).
The MacArthur Bible Commentary. End Quote,
Salvation is not OUR trying to grab a hold of CHRIST, BUT genuine Salvation, is THE SECURITY of SALVATION IS THE FACT THAT CHRIST HAS A HOLD OF US, AND THE FATHER ALSO HAS A HOLD OF US.
Hebrews 6:4-6 (NASB)
4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.
That is not a Born Again Christian, because we have not ONLY TASTED, we have CONSUMED THE TRUTH or EATEN the LIVING BREAD.
John 6:51 (NKJV)
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
See the DIFFERENCE, the ones without SALVATION only JUST TASTED,
While WE have Eaten or Consumed the TRUE LIVING BREAD!
