Hi again Matternich, after reading over your work and seeing that you are remaining a devout Catholic I can't see where having a dialog over your Catholicism is going to benefit your or I, so I will need to politely say thank you and move on to something new. We will just have to agree to...

"For these and many other reasons I remain a devout Catholic." Hi Matternich, thank you for this post, I have read it through but need a little more time to respond, and in a polite way of course. I understand mortal and venial sins, but for Adam and Eve's "One sin" the world would be a much...

I was 28yrs old when I was born again, and I've had no Catholic education at all. Half of my family was Catholic but I was born again and grew up in my faith at a Non-denominational Christian Church. I can appreciate where you are coming from because our Church would accommodate about 6,000...

There is no double predestination, God will reveal Himself to those who honestly seek Him, and there is hell to pay for those who reject His son. Even the "Wayfaring Stranger", needs not to error. Psalm 37:28 For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be...

I'm just a garden variety sinner, who was very lost and alone, and I called out to God to save me and He did. No thunder and lightning just the peace of God surrounding me. Later I was baptize and became a member of Grace Community Church in Sun valley, Ca. Pastor John MacArthur. I spent ten...

Remember Jonah, he was headed in the opposite direction that God told him to go. And so it took a great fish that God provided to bring salvation to Jonah. Your mind can create endless, "what if type stories", but these fictitious stories are all in vain. Our salvation is predestined by God...

You place yourself in the judgement seat of Jesus Christ. and your fictitious stories are irrelevant.; no eyewitnesses, no proof this ever really could or did happened, Try using real life believable stories. Stop trying to judge if peoples salvation is real or not real, only God can do that...

Quote: "I'm a former Catholic, but I am not an anti-Catholic. I have made it my aim to 'speak the truth in love' because I have a wonderful message to share." Hi Metternich, your link was a good read from a, "Former Catholic", does this mean you are a former Catholic as well? Also the Apostle...

Thank you tourist, "God's word will prevail." True Christians have an abundance of "Good Works" but this is evidence of a saved life, not the cause of a saved life. God's Plan of Eternal Salvation; Romans8:29,30 29) For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of...

Thank you decon and bless God's children too.

Okay, I see your point. God bless!

Excuse me where is the irony in, "Not By Works", I guess I'm missing something here?

Hello CalledOut777, and welcome to your first day at Chrstanchat.com, also welcome to "Not By Works" thread, lest anyone should boast." I pray you will enjoy your time here. God bless!

Seriously; "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans3:23

OSAS is a strawman argument for people who say, "you can lose your salvation", just for the reason you stated in your post. They claim OSAS gives a believer a license to sin which is false and far from the truth. No True Christian will habitually sin when they are born again and haveing the Holy...

I did notice that "lightbearer" disagreed with me and I am sorry he could not take the time to tell everyone here why he disagreed.

This is a, "Bible Discussion Forum" you can always change the channel to something more pleasing to you. Or even better yet you can start a new thread on "meditation and God's love", just an alternate suggestion. The title of this thread say's it all; "Not By Works"

Hi Ljs, I'm leaning Catholicism as well. benhur's lack of eternal security dove tails nicely with "Purgatory." Half of my family were practicing Catholics and I went with non-denominational conservative Christian theology, a blessing from God. benhur's is without dispute promoting a "grace plus...

You are promoting a salvation by grace plus works, the blood shed by our Savior for your salvation was not good enough for you, so you must drag your wonderful works with you to complete Gods plan of salvation. Your weak gospel is; God's grace plus your works, "A False Gospel." We are, "Saved by...
