An excellent question as Satan knows the scripture better than virtually every believer and can twist passages to his own ends. Likewise, Paul also warns us that the gifts of the Spirit can be duplicated and are thus not proof. A favorite hiding place for the demonic is in a church that is not paying attention to God and instead seeking favor from man, be it financial or praise for all their supposed spiritual gifts. It is only by the fruits of the Spirit that one can know, those cannot be duplicated.

So, (hoping you are not trolling as you seemed to do on another thread) what do you believe is God's requirement for salvation?

That's false.

The devil's wisdom has been corrupted so his "knowledge" of scripture is perverted as he is incapable of abiding in Truth (God's Word is Truth)

The old devil does his best to leave in some truth as he tries to mix it with lies in his efforts to deceive people but we see in his effort to temp Jesus that when it comes to God's Word all he can do is twist God's Word into something the Lord did not actually say

Unfortunately your comments are no more based in Scripture than the comment to which you responded. The reality is that where Scripture records the devil quoting Scripture, he quotes it accurately.

So your claim is Jesus should have thrown Himself off of the high place to commit suicide, tempting God like the devil told him to do?

You OSAS people crack me up!

But then again you people pervert scripture at the behest of the devil so this is to be expected

You sure know how to twist both the scripture and the words of those who respond to your false interpretations. You should make your own calling and election sure, because your own words condemn you,

Satan is the accuser of the brethren. And you are continually accusing the brethren on this forum. I don't know what you expect to gain from your slander. By the way, you are breaking the 9th commandment. Since you are such a legalist, you should cut that out. God will judge you as you judge others.

No, the true brethren aren't teaching false doctrine.

It's the tares doing that and as such should be called out for their fake gospel.



you are breaking the 9th commandment.

No, calling out the false teachers is no bearing false witness.

They twist God's Word as their father the devil is leading them to do so they are the ones bearing false witness.

We know who they are by how upset they get when someone posts the Truth of God's Word.



Your idiotic response doesn't warrant further comment.

That's what all the tares keep saying funny.gif

I would note that you are expressing your OPINION. Now if you are wrong, you are unnecessarily insulting many others. Does your ego really need that much support?
 
2 Timothy 2:12
If we deny Him, He also will deny us
See post #395. I thoroughly explained this.

He doesn't forsake His saints, but if / when a saint turns away from the Lord He must let them go
His saints are preserved forever. (Psalm 37:28) How long is forever? Jesus' sheep will not be snatched from His hand. (John 10:27-28) His sheep have eternal security. In contrast with those do not believe and are not His sheep. (John 10:25-26) Only pseudo-saints permanently turn away from the Lord. (1 John 2:19)

because God is not mocked, what we sow is what we reap - if we sow to the flesh we shall reap corruption (Gal 6:7,8). He's not forcing anybody to abide in Christ.
In regard to Galatians 6:7-8, the one who is continuously (Greek present tense) sows to his own corrupt, flesh which is opposed to God and unrenewed by the Holy Spirit shall of the flesh reap corruption. Our life here is sowing of one kind or another. But he who sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Only believers sow to the Spirit and from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Romans 8:8 - So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

The Greek word for “abide” is "meno" which means to remain, tarry, not to depart, continue to be present. This is not something that only elite saints do but all genuine believers. 1 John 4:13 - By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit... 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. Abiding is not forced or legalistic for genuine believers.

OSAS adherents are mocking God claiming even if a person gets saved and lives in sin they are still saved.
1 John 3:9 - No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. This does not mean sinless perfection (1 John 1:8-10) but is referring to a lifestyle or bent of life.

At best OSAS adherents are cherry pickers deceived in to believing only parts of God's Word. At worst OSAS adherents are tares who are servants of satan
You are slow to listen and quick to judge. Don't allow your anti-OSAS derangement syndrome cause you to make judgment calls that are well above your paygrade and bring judgment upon yourself. But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. (Matthew 12:36)

Either way, OSAS is heresy which is on God's list of "those that do these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God"
You judge and condemn ALL believers in the OSAS camp which makes you a false accuser of the brethren. It's the unrighteous who practice sin that will not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21)

Applicable only to those that are led by the Holy Spirit as in ceasing from being sinners.
Do you claim to have no sin or that you have not sinned? (1 John 1:8-10)

It's conditional, but the OSAS cult continually claims it's not conditional because they are confused having to keep track of all the lies they teach. It's a sad situation for them for sure.
Making blanket judgment calls that are well above your paygrade, being a false accuser of the brethren and suffering from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome is a sad situation for you.
 
I would note that you are expressing your OPINION. Now if you are wrong, you are unnecessarily insulting many others. Does your ego really need that much support?

What's God says in His Word is not anybody's opinion - it's TRUTH.

You should get to know TRUTH.

Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13),
and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)

Satan doesn't know the truth in the scripture.
God gave the truth to his chosen only. The Chosen of God are considered overcometh.
So the chosen of God could share what is the truth.
REVELATION 2:17
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

The chosen of God are those the recognition to Jesus is a revelation from the Father in Matthew 16:15-17.

Satan knows the scriptures. He quoted God's word to Jesus in the wilderness. Satan is well able to deceive through the scriptures. Anyone who thinks that they cannot be deceived is deceived already.

According to Our Lord Jesus here is a sign of the false Christ.
He looks like Jesus with Two Horns like a Lamb.
REVELATION 13:11
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

If he looks Jesus, how do we distinguish him?

False deceivers are those who transform themselves into disciples of Christ, but are like wolves.

Yes, and he deceives many people, because they DON’T know the Truth/ Scripture.

Satan understand in the scripture is in letter only.
When Satan notice that Jesus (Jesus in the role of Son of God) did a fasting. Satan knows that Jesus is literally hunger.
And so he tempted Jesus to make the stones into bread so Jesus can eat.
MATTHEW 4:2-4
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

But Jesus in the role of Son of God did not fasting literal physical but in spiritual.
And he was hunger spirirtually. He must spiritually eat the words of God as Jeremiah did.
JEREMIAH 15:16
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

The law of fasting is being taught by Jesus to Paul and so Paul wrote it.
ROMANS 7:14
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

With regards to the knowledge of Satan in the scripture is purely in letter only.
Jesus taught to Paul and Paul wrote it too.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:6
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

The Spiritual Fasting giveth life.
Only the chosen of God who received the white stone in Revelation 2:17 knows the spiritual fasting.
 
Yes, and he deceives many people, because they DON’T know the Truth/ Scripture.

Yes, according to Lord Jesus Satan deceipt the whole world.
REVELATION 12:9
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

And the proof.
Christianity today understand the fasting is in literal like what Satan understand. So people today are now fasting in literal food instead of spiritual food.

But the Chosen of God even today, whose recognition to Jesus is a revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:15-17).
They are doing fasting spiritually and not in literal physical.
 
So your claim is Jesus should have thrown Himself off of the high place to commit suicide, tempting God like the devil told him to do?

Yes, OSAS is part of the devil trap.
 
And the proof.

That’s not proof of anything.

The Spiritual Fasting giveth life.
Only the chosen of God who received the white stone in Revelation 2:17 knows the spiritual fasting.
That’s not in Scripture, and there is no support for that idea in Scripture.
 
Satan understand in the scripture is in letter only.
There is no scriptural evidence for this claim.

But Jesus in the role of Son of God did not fasting literal physical but in spiritual.
And he was hunger spirirtually. He must spiritually eat the words of God as Jeremiah did.
JEREMIAH 15:16
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
“The Son of God” is not a role, but rather an identity.

There is no such thing as “spiritual fasting” in Scripture… not in Jeremiah 15:16 or anywhere else.

The law of fasting is being taught by Jesus to Paul and so Paul wrote it.
ROMANS 7:14
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
“The law” here is the law given to Israel, not a reference to fasting.

With regards to the knowledge of Satan in the scripture is purely in letter only.
That isn’t even a complete sentence. Honestly, you don’t have enough understanding of the English language to debate these matters.

The Spiritual Fasting giveth life.
Only the chosen of God who received the white stone in Revelation 2:17 knows the spiritual fasting.
The verse says nothing whatsoever about spiritual fasting, so there is nothing to know.

This whole post is a good example showing why you should not be sharing comments about Scripture. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Tell me, without looking it up: what part of speech is “overcometh”, and what does it mean?
