OH...and BTW.. I looked at your bio...and you say saved "from 2000 years ago." Just how old are you anyway?? Because the BIBLE tells us that we must appropriate the sacrifice of Christ and refers to a specific TIME in one's life in Acts 19:2 "[SUP]2 [/SUP]He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” If you don't know specifically WHEN you believed... you cannot just assume that you are because He died for you. It doesn't work that way. WHEN did you make a commitment to Christ and His Word??

If we were preordained, then we were saved before we were even born. If Christ took away your sin before you were born, how are you still a sinner?

Again people remember, there were 5 wise and 5 unwise virgins. Nonetheless BOTH are VIRGINS. For if the firstfruits is holy, then the lump is as well.

Christ paid the price, but your sin is your sin UNTIL you give it to Him. When Paul speaks of Christ taking their sins, he is speaking to those that HAVE ALREADY, at a specific TIME in their lives, given Him their sins and accepted His payment for them....when they believed on Him.

I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. You mix the story of the 10 virgins (do you understand what that is about??) with the concept of the leven of the Pharisees?? I will give you credit only for trying, but your Biblical understanding not quite there. HERE is the question: Do you have a teachable spirit? Or are you set in your ways, ways taught from RELIGION, rather that God's word? Because if you do, you can learn the Truth of Scripture.
