    The prodigal son?

    People who respond to the Gospel in obedience by repenting, turning to God in submission to His rule and authority, have been purchased by Him with His own blood. For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:20 again...

    The prodigal son?

    Jesus is using the sheep as an example, as they represent people. Jesus is teaching His disciples about people who wander away and become lost. “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek...

    The prodigal son?

    Your attempt to distract from the context and change the subject is noted. Jesus teaches that it’s up to us to go after the lost. Jesus finished His ministry. 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go...

    That’s not what Jesus teaches at all. Jesus teaches that it’s up to us to go after the lost. Jesus finished His ministry. 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he...

    The prodigal son?

    Yes you contradict yourself. The simple honest answer is yes, the lost need salvation. The lost have returned to being sinners who are seperated from God and must repent, in which the turn back to God and are reconciled. That is the truth that Jesus teaches. “What man of you, having...

    The prodigal son?

    You have never answered my question. You have only claimed a mixed up variation of none answers that contradict each other. Example - The only way for one of His sheep to become lost, is if they belong to Him in the first place. One can not lose what one does not own. Try your best...

    The prodigal son?

    This point is clear. The 100 sheep belonged to the shepherd. The coin belonged to the woman. The son belonged to the father. Do the lost need salvation? JPT

    The prodigal son?

    Thanks for sharing. Please provide a scripture for your statement. My point is that someone must own something first, for it to become lost. “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is...

    The prodigal son?

    Please address my actual post. There is no scripture in the bible that refers to the lost as someone who never believed. To be lost, a person must first belong to God. A person can not loose something they never owned. I can't lose a coin that belongs to someone else. Do the lost need...

    The prodigal son?

    In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory...

    The prodigal son?

    Confess our sins to God. You admit and confess to God that you sinned; transgressed His commandments, so you can be forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments...

    The prodigal son?

    Yes, the sheep, coin and son are again the possession of the holder once they are "found'. In the "lost" state, the person who is lost is a sinner; unreconciled, seperated from Christ. If the person who is lost, becomes "found", then they are once again reconciled to Him, and are now once...

    The prodigal son?

    The law of Moses was added to the Abrahamic Covenant until the Seed should come. And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the...

    The prodigal son?

    Yes "found" refers to a person who has been reconciled back to Christ, which means they were lost. Could you define lost, as it pertains to Luke 15. Is a lost person a sinner or a saint? Is a lost person just or unjust? Does a lost person need to be reconciled with God? Do the lost...

    The prodigal son?

    If a lion or wolf finds it while lost and devours it, then who does it belong to? Who do sinners belong to Satan or God? The promise of not being snatched from His hand is to those who hear [and obey] His Voice so that they follow Him. Those who hear for a while then wander away and become...
