ONCE SAVED IS NOT (necessarily) ALWAYS SAVED.

I think this James 2 issue is a thing that kinda surrounds this. A lot of false grace-preachers apparently teach this gospel, but if one's faith is dead after being forgiven in the blood of Jesus, who can save him/her? It's a false gospel.

That's not possible but this Isn't the BDF so I will stop unless this Is brought up again In the BDF.:)

Since GOD looks at the heart then you agree that faith Without works Is not dead to GOD.

I think it depends. If a tree will produce good fruit, God foresees it, he knew every soul before creation, but it's up to the tree to fulfill the duty assigned. For that, the saying in James (Jacob) 2:22 which says,
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?​
is true. God is in the future, but you, on the other hand, is in the present to fulfill the duty assigned. If God sees that one will fulfill his/her own assignment, that time is when he/she has proven his/her faith.

Was your faith perfect before repentance? No. It is easy to believe God who is merciful and forgives all sins through the crucifixion, and it takes no faith bcs it is a good thing. But...

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?​

well, why don't we continue there then? It was not I who brought it up here in the first place, by the way. But I think the post immediately above is sufficient. Do tell me if it is not for you.
 
I love Bible discussion. In moderation though.

I can understand why people are put off by certain people who constantly bash others with the Bible.

its not Star Wars, its more like Scripture Wars.

Are you, sir, saying you shouldn't fight for truth or understanding? Or are you just trying to say bashing is bad?

Does the bible say anything about life on other planets other than earth?
Click to expand...
No. It does not. (Not on other planets.) There surely are other "structures" or bodies in the "heavens" we call space, but no lifeform can form without God's breath, and Scripture does not mention that, to my knowledge. But if any disagrees to that, be my guest...

Believing there is a god and believing God are distinct.

Believing God encompasses believing Him, and in so believing one will act accordingly.

Even if one siats for God in faith, that person is working. Works do not always mean being a worker of all the gifts, but longsuffering and patience while awaiting our Lord is certainly works.

We should never expect others to do tremendous beats by the grace of God. Look into the hearts whenev er given to, and you will see this is true.

Thank you... I really,really needed to be reminded of this! ....Even if one siats for God in faith, that person is working. Works do not always mean being a worker of all the gifts, but longsuffering and patience while awaiting our Lord is certainly works.
 
I really need to walk my dog and I usually walk him early early mornings but Im afraid of catching the new variant covid.

My sister says It would be okay to walk him but to wear a mask.IDK maybe a breathable mask because Its kinda hard breathing with a mask on while walking after a while.😶
 
Where I live people are keeping in much of the time. I walk my little one each morning , well before sunrise, and so fat I do not see people when with her.I believe since this pandemic began I have encountered perhaps two poeple, and that from across the street. Perhaps early mornings, earlier mornigns that is, may help.
May all be well with you and your little one. God bless you,.

Spain sounds very Interesting.I use to walk my chihuahua/terrier mix around 4am Mountain standard time In the U.S

I really like Mountain Standard Time. When I was first given to be convinced of Jesus-Yeshua by His Holy Spirit, I spent three summers camped in Roosevelt National Forest reading the Word and sharing all I could.
Humming birds would come up to me each morning, and some odd looking birds would surround my camp, me, late afternoons. The Indian Paintbrush and columbine were abundant.
The wonder of the Rockies reflects our Father-s greatness and might, yet the present age is nothing compared to what He has prepared for us. When I think about it, it truly is awesome, just as are His children. Go d bless you child.
