The Law of Moses is a great teacher to bring us to Christ. Understanding that we are fully, totally and grossly unable to meet God's requirements under the law, hopefully brings us to more closely understand the full Love of God's redeeming Grace through Jesus Christ. Continually attempting to...

Sin is no longer the issue between God and man, Jesus took care of that. The issue between God and man is whether we believe He took care of it. The focus needs to be on His accomplishment, not our failings.

I believe that God is capable of making the correct decision as it pertains to those that don't meet the criteria of the New Covenant to enter into His Kingdom. There are many that live today that don't have a full understanding or ability to understand or accept what He did for us and enter...

It was His command, it was to show people that they could NEVER be perfect and that they must rely on Gods Grace and Mercy. You see it is never about how good we are, because we will never be good enough. It is about how good He is.

You better be good enough then, or else. Oh wait, Jesus said you must be as perfect as God. Keep on keeping on, maybe you will be.

I believe in God because I have a personal and interactive relationship with Him. He has revealed Himself to me in a number of ways. Those of course, and as always, are very difficult to understand, prove and explain. I can only offer you the claim that I personally have. You will, I suppose...

Jesus forgave ALL sin.

You go to the lake of fire because of your unbelief, because you don't know the Lord, not your sin, if it were not so ALL would perish, none would be saved.

That is a Bible verse that gives a qualifier. So the verse that you have quoted is OSAS....if.

Oh, that clears it all up for me then.

I disagree. It is very clear that Jesus was the sacrificial lamb. And that His sacrifice was fully sufficient, and fully complete. There is surely a differentiation in the scripture between believers and non believers. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for...

You don't go to hell for the sin debt, you go to hell for denying the one who paid it. 1 John 2:2

Forgiveness of sin is not Salvation. All mankind has been forgiven, He took the sin of the whole world. Yet certainly not all mankind is saved. Forgiveness of sin allows for salvation. Salvation comes when we are saved from death by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, that comes when we...

Your OP was a question that didn't truly make sense. As if I asked, "Does forgiveness of sin mean I can reject Jesus Christ?" Your question was leading. OSAS means, Once Saved, Always Saved. Its very simple, almost as simple as the Gospel, but you have managed to muddy the water. The only...

The question is too subjective. The debate will be ad infinitum.

OSAS, means once you are saved you are always saved. I do not believe that statement comes with caveats. The OSAS statement is definitive, not nuanced. In essence your OP is creating the strawman. We can argue all day about whether someone is saved or not, but that is a totally different subject.

Yes Paul writes that he didn't know what is meant to covet, until the law told him not too. Freedom from theconsequence of sin, which under the Law was death. The law of sin and death is what we now have freedom from. If your sin was fully and completely forgiven on the cross, then you are now...

The focus seems to be sin. Our focus in the New Covenant is Him (the Holy Spirit). Sin is no longer an issue between man and God, it was resolved on the cross. Our unrelenting focus on sin is what the other gospel is all about. If we are sitting around focusing on sin, we are not focused on the...

Amen, if one believes and is saved, there is no reversal. Salvation is eternal existence with God forever. From the moment we truly accept His free gift. The circumstances of our lives may change drastically, but the true nature of God does not. He promises to never leave nor forsake us, based...

If you stop believing, you didn't accept the gift of salvation. It can't be both.
