Hero? please try again/ This has nothing to do with me or you it is about the kingdom. You know this isn't easy for me can you imagine how hard the white background is on my eyes? I have tried to heal my eyes for six years and now their at the point where I can barely see what is front of me in fact being on here damahes my eyes but yet I do this because I gave my whole to him until he gives the red light and until my eyes go away completely I am not stopping im not playing games and neither is he.Slow your roll, hero. I support your position regarding the magnitude of Christ’s complete work resulting in the irrevocable gift of our salvation, so take your misguided indignation elsewhere. Talk about petty arguments,
You are loved and honored as well my friend and if you could pray for strength for me as I go on this demanding journey with God because it is draining and I have always had the issue of loving to work but overdoing it I can easily overwork myself so I need the capacity to to blitze forwards with every calling he gives me but the serenity to know when to rest
I'm talking about difficult contentious passages dealing with what some people call "losing your salvation" or the equivalent. This was obvious......as I specified passages earlier.
The simplicity of the Gospel message of salvation can be understood by a child.
Evidently you failed to comprehend the difference?
Dear brother, you must understand that people read the Bible and seriously search for answers. I take it no small task to read and understand the Word. I have unsaved loved ones, I want to be sure I know what I am talking about when to comes to salvation. But I see too many Scriptures that say you can walk away from salvation. I don't you can "loose" your salvation like a sock, and I don't believe anyone can take it away from you. But I can only make a conclusion by what I see in the Word. There are too many verses that indicate you can turn away from the truth.
Sorry, I disagree, doctrine is how we come to find the truth, it's very important. And I don't think there is anyone who doesn't take this topic seriously.
Are we not all brothers and sisters here?
Can we not agree and still be in fellowship?
i trust the One Who saves me to save me
to the uttermost
even from myself
in point of fact, "from myself" is the very most poignant need of salvation - if He cannot do that, there is no such thing as salvation and all religion is vanity
Not everyone who calls themselves Christian agrees to this - many are trusting themselves. Not so post: i know the worthlessness of men and the glory of God
thats because it isn't there is only one truth you can read scripture or even use it if you don't first have the truth your eyes and understanding will only be your own leading you down the mindset of doctrine.Every single Scripture I have presented, someone has said it doesn't mean what it is. Now brother that cannot be possible.
Sadly, no.
Many claim the name of Christ but do not acknowledge Him as a Savior,
inherit salvation through works
I have to admit it is reassuring to have a brother who understands what God has been speaking I understand people want to get along but I simply cannot do that like I said before I am here to make a mess im not here to be polite anymore im here to spread the massage and shake the church awake even if I have to be harsh with themSadly, no.
Many claim the name of Christ but do not acknowledge Him as a Savior, thinking instead of Him as a merean, and the gospel as merely a second have to keep ((selected parts of)) the law and inherit salvation through works
And what if he is? would it be so bad to be called out in area we need work on? But no he was talking about the church in general we are dead as the body of Christ that is just fact and to think otherwise is just stupid. Now your take on words just bafffffffffffffffffff me you dopn't seem to understand at all so let me tell you about works. Faith produces works and faith isn't a thing that you have some here and now it is a state of being it is a frequency with him that we should always be in tune with that is what walking in faith is and look at Jesus he walked constantly in this frequency and he did many works not just in miracles but in everything he did and said he wasn't lazy once he had the annointing of the holy spirit he went right to work.I hope you aren't pointing that finger in my direction post.
I do not believe in salvation through works and have stated that many times.
Your words above are precisely why it’s not petty arguing but rather a sincere effort to have people see the truth regarding the fullness of the Gospel.
I don't believe some are elected and some are fitted for destruction. I believe the Holy Spirit draws us to Christ. I do not believe certain people are not capable of responding to the Gospel. I do not believe that is God's character. I believe that we can respond to the free gift of salvation and I believe we can walk away. All that I read in the Word tells me this. I am willing to listen, and I have read much of this thread. I see sincerity on both sides. To say I do not trust the Lord because I believe the Word warns us we call fall away from the faith is utterly unfair.

Well, ordinary "non-scholarly" Spirit-taught Christians fall into the same category. Actually scholars have done more harm than good. Christ and His apostles had nothing to do with the rabbinic schools, and Christians who are smart will avoid today's seminaries like the plague. Almost all of them have compromised Bible truth and Gospel truth.I don't believe Galilean apostles publish today so to qualify as those to whom my comments pertained in these contemporary times.

Debates discussions theology what one person says is truth while another says otherwise this is going to stop This was never about doctrine or debates it's about his kingdom and there is life in his kingdom but you may be grafted into the kingdom but if you don't live in it can you really say your in the kingdom?
What we know of God who he is who we are in him what the kingdom of God actually is all of this and more are given to us and I mean really given to us like there is a side of him that will leave you bewildered you will know what the fear of the Lord and you will be blessed for it and be a blessing to others you bring the kingdom with you and you sow into the kingdom in everything your mission is the kingdom and to bring others into this kingdom because living in his glory and his wonder is a gift that you cannot help but share your rich now and you sow those riches to the poor and the kingdom but im not talking about mans currency im talking about heavens currency and you cant reap what you do not so
