It’s funny how they can’t answer that. JPT

I gave you an example of the same parable that Luke and Matthew recorded but using different words to describe the same truth. The parable of the Sower. The parable of the lost sheep told by Luke is the same parable and teaches the same truth as the parable of the lost sheep told by Matthew...

Hearing His voice and following Him, that you don’t become lost. JPT

The condition for being saved is to believe. The faith you received from Him is the substance of the salvation you are hoping for. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 The salvation of your soul comes at the end of your faith; the...

Same parable, recorded by two different disciples that together brings out the fullness of Jesus teaching. if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep...

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 9 We will be judged on that Day according to what we do. God who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal...

Couldn't be any clearer. JPT

Look at the context of the parable in Matthew. Look how Jesus continues to explain what to do if a brother won’t listen. 12 “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 one that is...

As you can see, I posted the two parables that are the same. The parable of the lost sheep. The context is clear. The sheep must be persuaded to repent or remain lost. 12 “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...

? You’re kidding right? 12 “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 one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over...

Yes, Jesus is our salvation. Yes, He is Lord. However, the important thing to ask ourself, Is Jesus my Lord? Our Lord is the one we submit ourselves to obey. Those who obey Christ and His teaching have Him; both The Son and The Father. 9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the...

12 “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 one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did...

His work was that He believed and confessed Jesus as Lord. JPT

The born again believer leaves Christ. Wanders away from Him, and is lost. Please get that straight. JPT

The next one teaches it another way that may clarify it for you. 8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it,she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying...

The one who wanders away and becomes lost due to immoral living must repent, and return to God in humility to be restored. However the one who renounces Christ as Messiah and Lord, departing from Him to serve other gods or religions has put Christ to an open shame, in which after being...

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 1 John 3:7 JPT

Christ empowers us to live righteously. We must choose to live according to the Spirit or according to the flesh. 16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If...

Please show us the scripture that says eternal life is irrevocable. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’34...
