Not By Works

Maybe he thinks the rapture is coming next month ... hoping to get some good works in.

1 John 3:15 is not saying "love others as we are loved".

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

It is quite clear what John is saying there correct?

You are TRYING TO MAKE SCRIPTURE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR SIN.


1 John 3:14-15 (HCSB)
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love {agapoa Love is Agape Love, and all born again Chrisitian have that kind of love in him, because GOD HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT PORE IT INTO OUR HEARTS,} our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. {UNSAVED}
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

1 John 3:16-19 (HCSB)
16 This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his ⌊need⌋—how can God’s love reside in him?
18 Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action.
19 This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in His presence,

Leviticus 19:18 (NASB)
18 'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.

Matthew 22:37-40 (NRSV)
37 He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 This is the greatest and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."


You make sure you have enough clothes, food, and shelter. Any thing less than that YOU SIN.

Yes, you agree with me that verse is certainly not saying "love others as we are loved" right?

NO, that is exactly what it is saying. But for a BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, that is Automatic, because the AGAPE LOVE, spawns out of HIS AGAPE LOVE HE POURED INTO OUR HEART or Human Spirit. With man that kind of LOVE is impossible, but with THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US, it is entirely Possible.


Romans 5:1-10 (NRSV)
1 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die.
8 But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
9 Much more surely then, now that we have been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.

Can you see it now. That GOD's LOVE was Poured into our hearts until it was full. It is the PARENT of GODLY LOVE, and WILL produce the exact same kind of LOVE in us. IT IS A SEED, that will produce the SAME KIND OF LOVE.

You will have to admit to GOD, "I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO LIVE, YOU WILL HAVE COME INTO MY HEART AND DO IT THROUGH ME." . If you just PRAYED THAT PRAYER, MEANING EVERY WORD OF IT WITH YOUR WHOLE BEING, THEN TRUST HIM, HE Will Come IN and GIVE you the ABILITY to DO what YOU KNOW you CANNOT DO BY YOUR OWN STRENGTH. In fact, I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THAT,. AND Letting HIM DO IT, are the MOST POWERFUL WORDS I KNOW! Remember, PRAISE HIM, because YOU DID NOT DO IT, HE DID! You will know!

I'm not into mincing/deliberating words. You evidently do not understand my post and I never get into arguments over the Lord's Words.

Amen to that one.....they cannot grasp God loving us in spite of ourselves.

Now that was hilarious.....1 work, 1000 works, 1,000,000 works will never earn, keep, top off, finish, embellish, maintain salvation......ever!

Have you noticed how any and all peddlers of false gospels, mistruths or regurgitated non-factual opinion, like Calvinism for example, must skew words, definitions, context etc. in order to redefine the bible to fit their false theology?

For example.

The Calvinites say God made men for hell.

Yet God says, "God would have all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."

And since that verse proves their error, they will redefine it and say....oh, that is aimed at the super duper Christian chosen that God said will be saved and they have no choice in the matter.

They will all find out one day and it is going to be a bad day for them!

I notice that this post garnered a laughing emoji and there was nothing funny.

You can laugh all you want pal.....you may think in your mind that you have the truth, but you don't. All you peddle is what an ex Catholic from the 1500's peddled and I feel sorry for the people you lead.

Yeah....he laughs now....10 to 1 when he is on his face before God trying to explain Calvin's dogma to the Lord he won't be laughing!

Many are called, but few chosen.

Oooopssss.....another verse the Calvinites explain away......

Grace is irresistible--> they and their leader from the grave say.....

Yet, here we have MANY BEING CALLED, and note the CALL IS IRREVOCABLE....yet MANY deny the call, reject and do not make the cut.

There are tragic loopholes in John Boy's theology....yet the simple are lead astray easily it seems

You know...what is the purpose....According to those that follow Calvin, either directly or indirectly, they say God made man "A" for heaven and man "B thru Z" for hell.

So, if that is the case (and it's not) then why use creation and the invisible to testify and make them WITHOUT EXCUSE if they are already doomed and chosen for hell by GOD.......

ANOTHER serious flaw in Mr. C's dogma that is juggled by those that follow his erroneous line of reason.

You know.....

Adam had a choice to eat or not!
Cain had a choice to kill or not!
Noah had a choice to build or not!
Abram had a choice to leave or not!
Moses had a choice to lead or not!
Aaron had a choice to make the calf or not!
Joshua had a choice to conquer or not!
Saul had a choice to kill Agag or not!
David had a choice to cheat or not!
Solomon had a choice to build or not!
Josiah had a choice to fight Necho or not!
Jesus had a choice to pick falling down or not!
Peter had a choice to step out on water or not!
Jonah had a choice to go to Nineveh or not!
The people in Revelation have a choice to give glory to God or not!

My bible drips with choice.....yet the followers of Calvin say we have no choice when it comes to the gospel message and how we respond...

We can choose to BELIEVE or NOT!

Yep, they love to mince words and change the whole of scripture around and then try the guilt trip if any of us catch it.

God's Word/Will has "always" given us choice. We make bad, good, ugly choices always.

I was just asking you to explain how you would understand that verse. You are free to decline to do so.

No one is arguing with you unless you want to.

I just recently found a video on an Orthodox Jewish site, that explains a WHOLE BUNCH on why the JEWS have not started to build the Third Temple. Two videos I think you will want to watch, that I learned a whole lot about Judaism that I never knew before. I Posted them on my site, THIRD TEMPLE NEWS; #1,849 , which states they Need to Anoint a NEW KING, before they can build the TEMPLE. NOW THAT GIVES ME RED FLAGS! The other INFORMATIVE Video is about the the RED HEIFER, #1,894 . Did you know the JEWS believe before they can Build the TEMPLE, they have to have Sacrificed a RED HEIFER outside the Temple Complex in a TABERNAC, on the Mount of Olives, and not come ANYWHERE near a dead Body in the Mount of Olives Graveyard.

Hmm.. @preacher4truth changed your mind ...no laughing emoji..... if only you really did see the seriousness of the errors of Calvinsim.
