That's the point. People who practice sinful lifestyles fall away eventually not because they lost their salvation but because they were never saved to begin with. They merely, for a time, outwardly were conformed to religious form without the attending inward change. They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof. Good example is the Pharisees who were outwardly whited sepulcher, but inwardly full of dead men's bones.Not possible.

Yep, like I and watchers have already said.That's the point. People who practice sinful lifestyles fall away eventually not because they lost their salvation but because they were never saved to begin with.

This is what I have said all along. It is not what Watchers has been saying at all.Yep, like I and watchers have already said.![]()
Well he’s saying it now, right?This is what I have said all along. It is not what Watchers has been saying at all.
God does not just forgive sin, If he could do that, Christ died for nothingthis is illogic!
we have a means, it's called forgiveness.
Because you acknowledge your sin. And it is required for healing, If you hide your sin, you will become numb to it.i will ask you, Jesus said, ask for Forgiveness each day.
why would He say this, if my future sins, are already forgiven?
The reason you had to go to temple was for an animal to die for your sindo not forget, when Jesus said this, it was STILL LAW to go to the Temple to have Sins forgiven.
but here, Jesus, is short cutting that process by simply having us to ask EVERY DAY for Forgiveness [in our private secret Prayers].
so, it relates directly to us NOW.
So you save yourself. It is by works. Not by gracei really wished someone can show me the Verse that makes this ^ statement...
The passage you posted is about bearing fruit. not about being saved.all i can find: is the WARNING if YOU DO NOT ABIDE you end up in FIRE
4 abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.
6 If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as the branch and withers, and they gather it and throw it into the fire, and it is burned.
so, how do we ABIDE?
daily asking for FORGIVENESS, is how!
You do not abide in christ because you have never been attached to the vinethey are already in a Eternally Damned Condition. so they are already going to the same place as those who "do not" Abide in Christ.
i never said that it is impossible without Christ Works upon the Cross.God does not just forgive sin, If he could do that, Christ died for nothing
what happens if you don't acknowledge your sin and it remains forever?Because you acknowledge your sin. And it is required for healing, If you hide your sin, you will become numb to it.
AmenNot possible.

i am a Jew, i know about the Temple well beyond your understanding.The reason you had to go to temple was for an animal to die for your sin
Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. But the blood of bull and goat could never remove sin, Thats why the lamb of God had to shed his blood ONCE. and he sits down as our high priest making intercession
He died for all sin. Past present and future. If he did not. we are lost forever.
and Jesus is talking about THOSE ATTACHED to the Vine.You do not abide in christ because you have never been attached to the vine
If you have been,
God does a work in you so you produce fruit. Including pruning the branch, Lifting the branch of the ground, and cutting away the bad Like any good vine dresser woruld do
Then he died for all sin/ Not just your past sin.i never said that it is impossible without Christ Works upon the Cross.
Do you know every sin you ever committed? I don't.. It would be impossible.what happens if you don't acknowledge your sin and it remains forever?
David said, Forgive me of things i cannot Remember or don't know that I committed.Then he died for all sin/ Not just your past sin.
Do you know every sin you ever committed? I don't.. It would be impossible.
Plus, God knew every sin I would ever commit before he gave me eternal life. I said in fact. I know you are going to do all these sins, But I forgive you anyway..
Your talking out both sides theni am a Jew, i know about the Temple well beyond your understanding.
And I never said you can be Saved without the Works Christ did upon the Cross.
THE DEAD BRANCHES GET CUT OFF.and Jesus is talking about THOSE ATTACHED to the Vine.
no one abiding gets cut and tossed into the fire.
