making out with girls isn't a sin. well, necessarily.

Again, a psychotic schizophrenic would say the same things. In fact, they have.

Like some Koolaid? This conversation is wearing me out. :)

I did think it was cute to imply it went past me, rather than consider it didn't go past me and still didn't begin to address my objections. hehe that's a nice way to avoid answering things you aren't sure about. :)

Mattithyah 5:28, "But I say to you: Whoever looks on a woman with lust for her, has already committed ladultery with her in his heart."

It is not our position to say what is and what is not sin. Only the Scriptures can tell us that.

to BradC, Greater men than I have condemned the idea of "free will". Luther say, THE MYTH OF FREE WEILL . /spurgeon said, FREE WILL A SLAVE. Jesus said, Jh.8:34-36 "...whoever commits sin is a slave of sin...if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." Jh.6:44,65 "... no one can come to me" Jesus taught: "with men it is impossible" And, "he who has ears to hear", will hear. Are you, born of God? Love Hoffco

Then take your own advice. Kissing a woman doesn't mean you lust her. Unless you are some sorta pervert and any contact with a woman sends you into mental lust filled apoplexy.

It's ironic while you promote what IS a sin, telling us not to do it. Any other thigns you can do that we shouldn't?

Do you get those privileges when you spell a name in Hebrew phonetics???? Is that like the extra authority the KJV only people have when they talk to us with THEEs and THOUs?

2 Kepha (Peter) 2:20-22, "Now if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of Yahweh and the Savior Yahshua Messiah, they are again entangled in them, and overcome by them, the latter end is worse with them
than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy Laws (some trans. read : sacred command) delivered to them. There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb: A dog returns to his own vomit, and: A sow is washed, only to wallow again in the mire."

Ican not kiss a woman without feeling "lust"or "attraction" to her. If I was married to that woman, no problem, if im not married there may be a problem. It may be that I am wrong, however, that is a grey area I do not want to explore.

To Apostol2013,I trust you can relate to our talk and it is all in good fun, seeking to be joyful in Jesus and not to serious about the detractors. Love to Hoffco "rejoice, and again, rejoice" But on a serious note, my accuser is taking me to court for calling him a "lying bastard" which was the truth, but ,it is a criminal offense here in the Philippines to yell that in public. He bastardized me , tring to trick me into buying junk, for good roofing, having badgered me two day to buy. And he want 500,000 pesos remuneration from me and maybe send me to jail. Please pray to GOD to take care of him for me.

I agree, Hizikyah, with you. "to each His own', I will prayer for a wife for you if you wish one,, My son, 45 is not married yet, I was widowed for 8 month and I endured it, but then came to the Philippines and God gave me a good women. but if you do choice a wife make her swear obedience to you. OR life can be the "pits". Love in Christ our GOD and SAVIOR

The same Jesus that said whoever calls upon His name shall be saved; also said he who endures to the end shall be saved. Some believe the first part only and some believe the second part only; We cannot ignore parts of the word to hold unto a belief; because it will not be the whole truth and anything less than the truth is a lie.

There the small problem with the latter statement being part of end time prophecy. The enduring to the end has to do with the tribulation and Jews who go through it. Saved in the end when they see Jesus returning in glory. The whosoever crowd is now and includes everyone not specifically Jews.
Those who call upon the Lord and are saved are those who: have come under conviction of sin, the righteousness of Christ and the judgment of God. They call upon Him when they see their need and fall prostrate at His feet. Glad to receive salvation by grace through faith. The whosoever will that seek Gods mercy having seen Gods judgment upon sin, their sin.
Only they who get lost get saved.

Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise

The difference between Jew and Gentile is over. Thank you Jesus.

To go to the original of "whoever shall call upon the name of Christ shall be saved", we need to know what God meant about calling on the name. In the English language with western thought that is the same as calling on our spouse to do something. In the bible it was much, much more. Think of when Jacob was renamed Israel. It was nothing like if we decided to call one of our children by a nickname instead of what we had been calling her. It gave Jacob a new being and a new destiny.

So when we are calling on the name of Christ, we are doing something very profound and involved, as many of the posts are bringing out.

that would Jesus spoke he only spoke with deep meaning to every one of those words in the Hebrew language everybody work had a deep definition of deep meaning to it bring the remembrance how we just spoke what the scripture these people on me with the lips but their hearts are so far away , these people tell me they love me but the lips the actions say otherwise. James in the book of James it is said be hearers only but doers of the word , 4 faith without works is dead , you show me your faith and i'll show you my faith by my works ; now let's go back to the scripture all that call on the name of the Lord will be saved , let's take sample of a political refugee coming to the country the refugee comes into the country because he has been mistreated and doesn't like his treatment within the government therefore he goes to the country that gives the amnesty for this to happen , it is logical this refugee will have to pledge allegiance and to abide by the rules within the country to be under the governments rule or that refugee will be seen unfit to reside within that goverment or be expelled back to his previous country or in excile in the same way we come to acknowledge meant that we are mistreate d within the government of the darkness that we are fed up and we want a better way when we come to come up on Christ we go to him because we having knowledgemeant that he is our way outt and within ourselves we have no power to better ourselves for a fu tu re in the government of Christ our future is inheritance and have a chance of eternal life , upon being accepted for amnesty as a refugee you are required to take action to either prove yourself or take a roll in the simulating into the government to be accepted eventually as a citizen for a more permanent establishment in our case we must acknowledge that was in our selfs we have no salvation and that Jesus Christ is the way the life and the truth that no one can go to cook to the Father except through him , the phone with me come to lthe light to show that our works were wrought in him to sweary our own hurt and change not ,to repent and not look back for everything is new sing to our lord a new song and the baptism of the lord the baptism of the spirit and a circumcicion of the heart to be really born again eabiding by every wooed that proceeded from God´s mouth the commandments lay down by God primarily tohrough jesus Christ the prophets and the apostles a fullfillment of all righteousness for the kingdom of christ is anestablisment of all rivhteousness and love to christ be the glory amen

How can one who is dead call upon the name of the Lord and be saved ?
John 3:7You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand

John 11:24
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

How can one who is dead in the grave "hear His voice".
Its a Resurrection Miracle ! Nothing that man can accomplish. Next time you go to a funeral or a cemetary, try seeing if the dead can hear your voice. LOL !
