Walking the straight path matters, especially to the addict. Saying addiction is just to drive you to Christ is just an excuse for defeat and exusing a crooked path. Taking regular injections to control chemical addiction maybe a right compromise, because the harm is sin associated with addiction, rather than addiction itself. I can be addicted to chocolate and have no bad impacts.

Amen...Nevertheless , the fear and ripping down what our LORD and Savior has done for us is not pleasing to God , it is distrusting God , if we could lose our Salvation , if it was up to me , I would of lost it the day I was saved , but Jesus said "It is finished " we are NEW creation in Christ , the old has passed , the new begun , we will all fail God everyday , in thought , word or deed , yet the Holy Spirit nudges us to come forward and be cleansed under the ever living water...
Another thing I see alot of people who believe we can lose what God has given us , they never post about the comforter , the Counselor , the Advocate who stands before our Father and pleads our case...
There are people who " claim " to know Christ , but when the storms come , they go back to the world , because they were never in Him...

i can’t leave it.
you telling people that a person can be saved and NEVER have works (a changed life) is proving what they say, that you believe a person can be saved and live in sin.
thats not true.
a child of God who has living faith by definition is UNABLE to live in sin, thus by defenition, they have done works (a changed life through the power of God,)
thus by defenition, does not fall under the defenition of a person who claims to have faith yet has no works, even if in the end,they remain babes in Christ and never really does any works as most people define them
James is fighting a licentious Gospel, people who claim we can say a prayer, thus claim to have faith. And continue to live in sin and your still saved,

No,, I have no problem with it, my whole point is based off this verse
no one who is born of God loves a habitual lifestyle of sin, the English text is misleading,he is not talking about induvidual sins, he would be contradicting himself remember, in 1 John 1:8 he said if we say we have no sin we are decieved

Okay listen.. I respect you desire to discuss this so I will come back to it .. my cupboard is bare so I have to go out.
We have discussed this multiple times... I really do not know what else to say within the limitations of a discussion board.
Always going to they were never believers ( Mr John MacArthur theology) really creates a lot problems for OSAS and coming to grips with the fact that salvation is a gift no strings attached.
