You know, I don't get caught up in those made up titles. I'm simply demonstrating that the free gift of salvation is dependent upon our having faith from beginning to end. Otherwise, there would be no purpose for all of the warnings in scripture to not live according to the sinful nature. Nor...

No it wouldn't be salvation by our doing. We are saved by grace through faith and this not of our own doing. It is the gift of God, not by works. So, our part is faith. And without faith, it is impossible to please God. Therefore, no faith, no salvation.

You read X'd me. So are you saying that one who comes to Christ, even if they turn back to living the way they were before they believed and remain there, that they are still saved? In lieu of this, can you explain the scripture below: "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth...

I agree with this. Our salvation and eternal life is based on our continuing in faith from beginning to end. But, this is not the title of the post, which is 'temporary Eternal life." There is no temporary eternal life. Eternal life (as the word infers) is unending life in the kingdom of God...

That's not what I meant. I'm talking about his post for temporarty internal life, not loss of salvation. However regarding this, salvation is dependent upon having faith. Therefore, if a believer turns from faith and remains in that state, they are accumulating sin and are on their way to death...

I've never come across anyone who thinks that Eternal Life as being temporary. Have you come across anyone who believes this?

I posted that, not in reference to what is 'invisible' but in keeping with the theme of the post regarding Christ as the Creator. :rolleyes:

Invisible? I didn't say anything about that. I was providing information regarding God the Father and God the Son as being One God, yet existing as individual persons.

Greetings pittsburghjoe! Actually, the Father and the Messiah are not the same person. They are One God, but are individual person. This is made clear, for example, when Jesus was baptized. After He came up out of the water, the Spirit in the form of a dove landed upon Him and the voice of the...

So, because the names Raphael and Phenual do not appear in the other scriptures, you reject Jude's quoting of Enoch? Consider the following: "Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were...

Greetings and Welcome to the Forum!

Good day, major! Your reasoning is faulty. What I mean is, just because the names of certain angels are not found in the Bible, does not mean that they don't exist. There are a variety of angels mentioned in the OT and in Revelation, but their names are never mentioned. Does that mean that they...

I agree! Everywhere an angel is mentioned in scripture, it is always in the masculine. There would be no reason for female angels in heaven. One of the purposes of Women here on the earth, is for the purpose of bringing children into the world. There is no need for that in heaven.

Yes, I did answer your question and with a description of who. It is the great tribulation saints and NOT the church who will be on the earth during the tribulation/great tribulation. Those under the altar will be the spirits of those saints who will have been killed during the first 3 1/2...

Greetings imasoandso! I don't think that it has anything to do with the pre, mid and post interpretations of when the church will be gathered. Compare the following from Daniel and Revelation: "He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change...

Regardless of how you want to present it, Jude is quoting a prophecy from what was said by Enoch. And it is from Enoch as being a part of the scriptures, that Jude got the prophecy from. God obviously had His stamp of approval regarding Jude's quote of Enoch, because it is in His word. Not to...

Well, that would be because of Isaiah's prophecy, which is listed right in the scripture: ========================================================== This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ In them the...

Honestly, when I read Ethiopic Enoch, I feel as though I am reading scripture. And I have previously said, the writings of Enoch were a part of the scriptures up until the 3rd century.

I suppose that you would mean that you would have to reject the following, as well: ========================================================================== Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones to execute...
