Maybe find a different worded version to understand that scripture? All those described in the first two verses of 9&10 you'll maybe notice are those who are not Christians. As we may note in verse 11. "And that is what some of you were". Verses 9 through 10 are talking about the unrepentant...

Question. Didn't check your profile to see if you posted your age. Have you in your whole life ever hated someone?

Yes. If I kill someone who is trying to murder someone in front of me, man and his court does not prosecute me. God would also know I was risking my life in defense of another, which is not condemned by God in his word, and as such I would remain saved. There are junkies who were and are...

I wonder if the child bride of this person is also his cook. Praying she is freed by the courts very soon.

2 Timothy 2:10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory. 11 It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him; 12 If we endure, we shall...

What verse tells us that?

I don't know any verse that tells us God can or will take the salvation of the believer away. Isn't that what repentance is all about if someone falls away? If they were first a Christian in their whole heart and then somehow left the faith, are they damned then? What happens to all those...

I don't understand. In those books salvation is in the future? Do you mean to say Christians are not yet saved?

I think that part of Revelation is overlooked often enough. I think that argument that is made claiming works have naught to do with our salvation has a lot to explain when denying God's own words that say the opposite. Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God...

Acts 16:31 Verse Concepts They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 1 Corinthians 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save...

For me it refers to being in relationship, one, with the indwelling holy spirit that is God. When I hold faith in Christ I am taking hold of my life giver and life saver who now guides me through his will for the best in this life and in service to others serve him. Without Christ, letting loose...

I believe the Bible tells us that works have everything to do and are intrinsic parts of our Salvation. James 2:14-20 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily...

No, Satan wasn't defeated in the sense he was vanquished as a factor on earth. Rather, he still is lord of this world. But, his power over death was defeated by Jesus at the cross in that our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life in Salvation through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross...

The Christian faith, or faith in Christ, to my mind is consistent as pertains to any denomination. If you ask what is the oldest extant Christian tradition or church? I would say it would be the Jerusalem Orthodox Church .

As already noted and outlined in a previous linked article, the WP evidence is not conclusive. Thanks. I'm going to leave it here becasue when I hit Reply to your rather long post in response to my really long post, what showed was my really long post starting with "I myself" below and...

Maybe, this will assist those who wonder if a Catholic is Christian. Yes, they are.

And a former police officer at that. Upset that an officer knelt on a mans throat until he was dead.

I have to say that while we who are Caucasian can experience hatred, visual bias, and racism, and know how that feels and presume its origin, I would say it is impossible as a Caucasian to think we know what it is like to be black and be confronted with racism. Racism is hate. That hate is...
