The condition is through faith. To apostate is to abandon faith. Hebrews 11:6 New King James Version 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Simply God knows who will accept Him and who will not. Those who accept are in the Book of Life. Those that won't are blotted out. The only thing that matters for those who debate this is to share the gospel. None of us are omniscient and God calls us to share the gospel. God wants all to be...

Did He forget or not know what He was breathing life into? When was the Book of life created? Before the world or at the end of time?

Romans 8:29 (ESV) 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. It is the order in the sequence that is important. When I mentioned predestined it was in reference to to TULIP doctrine...

Here's the thing, you don't. Call on everyone to come to repentance and be saved. Why? Because God is doing the same thing. His wish is for all to be saved. He calls all people. The invitation is open for everyone. Those who respond become of the elect. A preknowledge thing, not a predestined thing.

Simply, Tithe: Mosiac Law Offering: New Covenant in guidance of the Apostles. Tithe was to be given or else you broke the law and would reap the judgments of God. Offering was described by Paul as being a cheerful giver, not under compulsion, not out of guilt or shame. Offering in the book...

I agree. It is all too easy to become distracted by the world. To be choked out by worry. To be emotionally paralyzed by grief. To suffer an Elijah under the broom tree moment. Thank God, we have a God who comforts us when we are weak.

Paul definitely provides a great example of true grit. But I also meditate on what it must have felt when Jesus was praying in the garden. To go against the natural desire to survive is one of true grit. I'm also reminded of those like the four Chaplains who were George L. Fox, Alexander D...

Very true and important to always remember.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” – 2 Cor 4:16-17 The grit of a person is often measured by the many...

Spot on. Another confusing element to this is some will speak of baptism as two consecutive events. One of obedience to accepting Christ and then one of the Spirit a personal Pentecost event where your more charismatic or Pentecostal doctrines teach that it will be evident of tongues...

There is only one baptism that matters. The baptism of Christ. Acts 19 esv 3And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that...

I'm by no means an expert on this subject but I do understand a few things. The current direction of our economy and national debt is not sustainable. There has to be change or eventually inflation will cause riots and economic collapse once essentials become too expensive. Tariffs are good...

Nothing in reality but did have a dream one time that was quite different because I usually do not dream or can remember them. But this one felt very real and chilling. A battle between a demon, https://christianchat.com/christian-family-forum/demon-dream.208732/

Nice artwork as always!
