I think one of the problematic issues is that some people get offended when they hear that the holy spirit doesn't dwell in us apart from faith. That makes it seem like a work that if they don't have perfect faith the holy spirit will leave them. That's not the way eternal security works. GOD is...

I'm starting to think that the ones who take issue with you don't really understand eternal security. It seems that a fear of failing is behind the belief that believers don't have to do anything, which is completely contrary to scripture. I do believe that believers can become ex-believers...

It's not. No one here has ever said that it is, as far as I am aware. You're the one who keeps making a big issue out of it. That is what the left does. They mischaracterize an issue that they want to normalize, and then make a big issue out of it like some great injustice is being done in order...

It was from the Apostolic Bible Polyglot. The KJV says about the same thing.

I was just looking at that verse, and it doesn't really say that he will lose none, but that he will not cast outside the one who is coming to him. I read that as meaning that the one who stops coming to him would not have the same promise.

Don't be rude. John is one of the best posters here. I'm blessed. Carry on, John.

In some repsects I did have a difficult upbringing, but one thing I can absolutely thank GOD for is that I didn't have a dad like you.

I agree. Would you agree that faith has to endure from first to last?

And I bet your VQ and BSQ are off scale!

You're just blowing smoke. You must be getting this stuff off of a gnostic website.

Good heavens, go read Against Heresies to see what apostates the gnostics were.

Most, if not all, of the letter of 1 John is devoted to refuting the gnostic heresy. So there's your bad fruit. John said they are anti-Christ.

Meyers sold 1.2 million copies of his Gospel of Judas. That's enough to make someone a millionaire. Plus he was a frequent guest on television documentaries and other programs. It made him famous and rich.

Because that's what the gnostics did. They took the sayings of Christ and perverted them. Gnosticism is essentially a syncretism of Christianity and platonic dualism. If you like the gnostics that tells me you have one foot in the kingdom of light and the other in the kingdom of darkness. Maybe...

You're grossly misrepresenting what these researchers claim. None except a few maybe, think the GoT was written in the 1st century AD. The honest ones agree that they really can't tell.

Big money in writing books, especially if you're a professor at a no-name college like the one this fellow was at. The college said he put their name on the map with his book.

The reason there are similarities is because the gnostics learned the gospel from Christians and then perverted what they were taught into their own writings like the Gospel of Thomas Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant. As John said, they went out from us because they were not of us due to...

Fulfilling the righteousness demanded by the 4th commandment is seeking first the kingdom of GOD and his righteousness so that we may know GOD.

And is run lawfully via sanctification

The race ends at the finish line, not the starting line.
