So talking to God keeps you saved?
I’ve never wondered if I was saved nor doubted it in over 40 years, not once. And no, not me talking to God but God talking to me which He has done since childhood.
What exactly keeps you saved, are you willing to really unveil what you believe?
I don’t think about my salvation at all. It isn’t a focus of my theology. Knowing God is my focus.
I find it very telling that the greater portion, if not all of your posts, are trying to refute OSAS... are you so insecure in your dogma?
I refute it because it’s false. It makes you all focus on YOUR salvation as the end. There is more. Some are hungry for more.
Why is it that God's full forgiveness troubles you so much..... having to preach against it?
That’s all you guys seem to think of, you’re being forgiven and being saved. There is so much more.
Is it that you cannot handle others having "full forgiveness" because you have not accepted it for yourself?
Not at all

oh, but it does.

It plainly says that Adam was with her when she ate. She was deceived by the serpent that told her God was holding a good thing back from them. Adam made his own choice.

No it doesn’t. I asked what was in his mind. Telling me what wasn’t does not answer the question.

I remember our conversation Dottie and how you spoke of being in Israel, and what you saw. Being married to a Jew, it stuck fully in my mind.
Well you are still 100 % wrong! Sorry but I know me better than you do and really you ought to apologize for insinuating I’m a bigot. Your memory is QUITE faulty.

Why Adam chose to eat can only be anyone’s opinion. He made the choice. He wasn’t deceived.

In the words of DC...end of story. ⚔️🔥😇

Noah, Moses, Mary . . .
She’s in good company.
Wrong. Mary gave permission. Read the passage. Noah was a volunteer. No indication he had no choice. Same with Moses. When He turned aside if his free will. God searches for volunteers.

Thanks for your opinion, but I don’t have anything to apologize for. I didn’t call you a bigot. Your word not mine.

“think well of”. Mine.

None of you talk about your relationship with God as your assurance of salvation. None. It’s therefore a logical conclusion. You guys just say you can’t lose your salvation. No mention of God at all. Start doing differently. Be a trend setter. First on your block to mention your relationship with God in the same sentence as you’re eternally saved.
There are more than 7000 pages in this thread alone where OSAS believers state quite emphatically our relationship with God is in Christ alone and for that we rejoice.

My vocabulary is limited..of course I said yes..but can’t remember the exact words.

I said no to my vision but after yrs of working in me....I now consent..God would never force himself on anybody.
For that person to even think that I thought like that...disgusts me.

sorry that came out in the wrong order. Was laughing at Dots post that we all are stubborn believers.

Well, you don’t think we’ll of me but think I don’t like Jews. If you’re not honest enough to admit what word describes that sort of person, then you should consider transparency.

That is not discussing the relationship but a legal term one can learn to say by rote.
