Hi! It's true if a Christian has become firm in his commitment to remain true to Christ throughout the end of his life - is no longer in danger of falling away, according to the Bible. But there are some who are not yet fully firm yet in that commitment, who do fall away, and I see the...

Hi! But not for all the sins of the world. Only the sins of those who receive Jesus as Lord (God and Master) and Savior, sincerely - are covered by Jesus' sacrifice for sins. And even they need to continue to repent of unintentional sins every day - since no one is sinless in this life...

Hi! Ok - maybe you're correct on these figures.

Hi! It isn't wise to be too quick to believe hearsay about Christians of the past, as being human - they don't always tell the truth. Or in some cases - were purposely incorrect. I've read many of his writings, and I see nothing wrong with what I've read of that. To me, he seems to have...

Hi! Yes, Jesus' spirit didn't die when His body died. Spirits don't die. That is a difficult to understand passage about Jesus preaching to the spirits in prison - not sure exactly what it means. As the passage you posted implies - it sounds like He spoke to the spirits of unbelievers...

Hi! You're right! I think many pastors teach incorrectly on the subject. Some may be sincere in trying to help people learn how to be saved -but even so, their incorrect teaching on the subject can be misleading to many, I think. Especially since it is so easy to want something of...

Hi! I think they were switching over to a wrong gospel - I think that's what was the matter. And that was a serious problem! I think they were choosing to earn their salvation through good works alone, rather than through Jesus. This was the same error the Pharisees of Jesus' time made...

Hi! I agree! the prophecy scriptures use a lot of symbolisms, so I think that makes it necessary to just guess some at the parts that aren't clear.

Yes, we are sincerely not able to agree on this important Bible subject. I feel you are failing to see things, and you feel I am failing to see things. That often happens. I'm very well aware of that.

Yes, we sincerely aren't able to agree on this subject, according to what we understand the Bible to teach on this subject.

What Jesus did was perfect and sufficient and He never sinned - because He was God in the flesh, and God isn't able to sin.

Yes, we sincerely disagree on this subject, according to what we see in the Bible on this subject.

I'm very well aware that God's laws, under the New Covenant are different from that of the Old Covenant. And that we are required to obey the New Covenant laws. And to always sincerely repent of all daily sins. If we do that, God forgives our sins. That's how it works, according to the...

Well, that's not what I see in the scriptures. What would be your comment about a person who claims to be a Christian - but goes into gross sin and never repents. Do you think that person is going to end up in heaven?

Salvation saves only if one receives it the way God's Word says to receive it. There are so many who don't do that. It's sad. Well, what I see in the scriptures on these things is much different from your way of seeing them. Make sure you know the Lord. It's a big mistake to think one's...

Well, it doesn't look that way to me. The Bible would have made it plain that it wasn't for other believers if it wasn't to be followed by them. I know of other scriptures too in the New Testament, that show that repentance of sins is something that should be done regularly: Phil 2:12 12...

I just found the picture online - it's easy to find pictures to illustrate any subject online. No one knows people's hearts to the extent that God can - that's true. But knowing that God knows everything about oneself - if a person is sincerely seeking to please God in this life - will...

True - the Holy Spirit is busy in this world, trying to get as many as possible - to come to repentance, so that they can be saved. But without responding to the Holy Spirit in his inviting one to be saved - no one can be saved. Hearing and believing the gospel is the first necessary thing...

Yes, obedience to God, without having a relationship with Him is completely useless as far as concerns their status with God and as regards to what they can hope for in their eternity. Paul, a Pharisee - like other Pharisees - had been very strict to obey God in some ways at least (though...

True - it's just a figure of speech. And represents laziness - an unwillingness to take more than minimal effort on one's own part.
