I don't know how much simpler it could get........Jesus said the Son was dead and lost......twice

Your rignt seems most here is on edge ready to give someone a verbal beat down for not agreeing with them or answering in a way they think you should,........

The Bible teaches me to turn the other cheek.......but I have about run out of cheeks to turn.......

Na, we just are sick of people who keep comming back who have been banned, or continue to lie about others, and refuse to even acknowledge their own sin

When you say things under my post I assume you are talking about me

Sorry, i was responding to you speaking to one of those people,
And trying to tell him that most are ready to give a beat down.

I was just explaining to you what was actually going on. And it has nothing to do with people disagreeing, And why some people were getting so upset, or as you said, ready to give a beatdown.

Sorry if you misunderstood. Please forgive me

Looks like we will just have to agree to disagree......I think it's plainly talking about a backslider whose father said was dead and Lost......and dead in sin and lost will go to hell......you obviously don't see it that way

The bible says an unbeliever will go to hell (is condemned)

The bible says those who are against christ will go to hell, it calls them an antichrist, and john said whoever does not believe is an antichrist,

The prodigal son was niether of these, he was a son who decided to go try to live on his own without gods guidance, and as with all who try this, found out it did not work very well

Again, i have experienced this so i understand what happened.

And again, we do not agree, because your stuck on the word dead, and not seeing the son

I asked you those wuewtions to try to get you to see, if you still do not see, i am sorry.

No problem, thanks

I wish I had time to keep up with everything everyone is saying but I can't. I'm normally scanning through reading bits and pieces until someone asks me a question........I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

...For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Above are the verses the OSAS camp uses to prove their FALSE MAN MADE DOCTRINE that disregards and even nullifies OBEDIENCE TO GOD by saying that it has no bearing in SALVATION.

Did Paul believe or say the same things as these people venture to teach and speak about?

...I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. I WILL NOT VENTURE TO SPEAK OF ANYTHING except what Christ has accomplished through me in LEADING THE GENTILES TO OBEY GOD by what I have SAID AND DONE—
Romans 15:15-18

Did the apostles teach what Jesus told them to teach?

..."TEACHING THEM TO OBEY WHATEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU"...Matthew 28:18-20

..."IF YOU WANT TO ENTER LIFE, OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS"...Matthew 19:16-30

"IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL OBEY WHAT I COMMAND"...John 14:15

"WHY DO YOU CALL ME "LORD, LORD", AND DO NOT DO WHAT I SAY?" Luke 6:46

"DO NOT MERELY LISTEN TO THE WORD, AND SO DECEIVE YOURSELVES. DO WHAT IT SAYS." James 1:22

...who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, FOR OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST and sprinkling by his blood...1 Peter 1:2

...their teachings are but rules taught by men.’...Mark 7:6-13

...For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but also to SUFFER FOR HIM, Philippians 1:29

...Although he was a son, he learned OBEDIENCE from what he SUFFERED and, once made perfect, he became the source of ETERNAL SALVATION for all who OBEY him...Hebrews 5:8-9

...LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU with empty words, for because of such things GOD'S WRATH COMES ON THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT. Therefore do not be partners with them. Ephesians 5:6-7

You hungry?

A wise parent who entrusts their children to the Lords keeping, will recognize when they have to let go and practice their faith. Lessons may be necessary when a child is being bullheaded.

God always responds to steadfast faith.

And lost means lost.

You totally misunderstand. Keep means to have in the heart. Do is law.

Paul and Barnabas did not disagree on salvation.....and make no mistake...one is true and the other as false as they come........

faith plus to gain, keep, maintain a losable salvation is the one that is as false as they come....

Hi E-g, agree I am more than sick from seeing the quantity of post's being presented here as being theologically acceptable; when instead what is being presented here are counterfeit gospels wrapped in sugar coated double talk.

Please go away all of you who were previously banned; we have had enough of your hypocritical counterfeit gospels. You are here illegally under false pretensions and you are not welcomed, do not go away mad just please go away.

Godandguns:

I am the same way, and I think the solution is EVERYONE makes it a habit to include the name you are responding to, up front, like I just did. That way, EVEN when you have a person on youre IGNORE LIST, you can figure out who is talking to whom.

OR,

Everyone:

I think you will like this PICTURE:

I see so to “keep” His commandments does really mean keep, but “something else”.


If a person keeps Hos commandment to not lie, it means they don’t lie!!!

... For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12-13

... Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, YOU WOULD LOVE,(John 14:15) for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:42-47

You don't keep his commandments, nor have you ever.....exactly why you are guilty and condemned by the law and need to he saved by faith......trust Jesus biblically by faith without embellishing faith.....or.....it will be a bad day for you in THAT DAY........

Touchy, aren't you. So why is that?

So what part of a HELPER, do you not understand?

THE LOVE THAT I HAVE FOR GOD CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.

I give HIM all credit for the GOOD that I do.

I accept the Blame, for all the sin I commit of omit.

INCLUDING THE GOOD DECISIONS THAT I MAKE.

Do you ever give the HOLY SPIRIT, credit for the GOOD you do?

The same is true about PAUL.


Romans 7:18-19 (HCSB)
18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.
19 For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.

... If those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.
Romans 2:26-29

... “As for the person who hears my words but DOES NOT KEEP THEM, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who REJECTS me and DOES NOT ACCEPT MY WORDS; that very word which I spoke WILL CONDEMN HIM AT THE LAST DAY. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me COMMANDED ME WHAT TO SAY and how to say it. I know that HIS COMMAND LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” John 12:47-50

...We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:3-6

It's now clear that what you teach is contrary to the TRUTH.

...The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. FOR OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF HIS HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKS. Luke 6:45
