But we can correct the mistakes found in the Bible, remember only God's Inspired Words are from God.

No, God's Word claims that it is perfect (Psalm 12:6 KJV) (Psalm 119:140 KJV) (Proverbs 30:5 KJV) and that it will be preserved for all generations (Psalm 12:7 KJV) and it will stand forever (Isaiah 40:8 KJV) (1 Peter 1:25 KJV). Therefore, seeing Scripture plainly states these facts, it then becomes an issue of a test of your faith in God's Word (See the test the devil gave to Eve in Genesis 3:1 KJV); Because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe (1 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV). In other words, do you believe you hold the very words of God within your hands like the disciples did?

For someone who regularly makes excuse and apology for the Scriptures in order to suite their own preconceived notions about God, you should be careful who you rebuke, and for what reasons you make your rebukes.

So you think I intentionally make the Scriptures say what I want them to say? If that is the case, then you are falsely accusing me, dear sir. Which is wrong.

Here come the history lessons about the denominations and their origins.

Learn all about the enemy's tactics to lead folks farther and farther from the Source of our true story, our true history, the Word.

When folks who claim to believe Jesus Christ become rapt in people who gav e us denominations, they tend to present a foggy notion of the faith of Abrham.

The best solution, the best remedy, is simple, read the Word as our source of truth from our Maker, and study history for the evolution of this age.

What concerns sthis age in the Word is understood as it unfolds, no amount of histrionics is going to add to or take away from the wisdom of God's Word to each of us.

God bless all who are in Jesus Christ, amen.

So Jason 0047 once saved always saved is a dark doctrine, I always thought Salvation was the whole point of Jesus coming
to die for our sins. Otherwise what is the point of being a Christian. One may as well be a Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist because they have no assurance of Salvation either.
He follows too much of his fathers teachings, He claims to be protestant, but he is no better than the catholic church, which his works based, self promoting, Christ denying gospel. which is no gospel at all (there is NO GOOD NEWS in his doctrine)

God in the Book most call the Bible it talks about Jesus being the first BORN AGAIN of many and Jesus gave the best example of how to be Born Again. You are a asking question that can only be answered with a NO.

Mac.
So your not saved? Thats sad, Its also sad you do not understad what the term "born again" means. It is also sad you think Catholics will be part of the second resurrection. when they are not trusting in God to save them, but in all church to help them get saved.

I am neither catholic nor protestant, and I have not made any rules up. God does not rules and regulations, he came to break them, because the rules he gave us could ONLY lead us to his son (they could never make us righteous) He came to adopt us and become our Abba Father, with a relationship. not a religious ceremonious stand-offish christianity many churches want to force on us.

It is interesting!

Part of those denominations evolved from the Jewish tree...

Chaolic-ism, which has highly evolved, introduced more "branches", and this are called "orders" (Orders?) such as Benedictines, Franciscans, Carmelites...

Do they look like those Jewish also had? As Herodians, Pharisees, SADducees, etc.?

As you said, "Here comes the history lessons"... Jewish Denominations and Sects - Judaism Branches

Jesus was not born again. Jesus Christ is God Almighty in the flesh. Jesus did not have a created soul. Created body? Yes. Created soul? No. Jesus Christ (Second person of the Godhead - Who is Eternal and Uncreated) came down into the flesh so as to pay the price for man's sins on the cross and then defeated the punishment for sin with his resurrection.

Also, are you saying you are not born again? One has to be born again in order to enter the Kingdom of God. Being born into this world was not a long and dragged out process. One enters this world by their mother from out of her womb over a span of a day (normally). God can change someone's heart and spirit in an instant when they repent of their sins and accept Him as their Savior. They are renewed spiritually whereby they are given a new heart with new desires (Hating sin and evil and yet loving their enemies as God commands of us).

What is interesting about the picture posted is that is also how the Catholics dressed in that time period. For all we know of that picture it could very well be a pictures of Catholics and how they dressed.

I am curious to know if there are any group of Protestants who believe in Once Saved Always Saved. It is my experience personally and in hearing from others that Protestants believe in Once Saved Always Saved.

Anyone who appears to be outwardly religious by what they wear is obviously trying to draw attention to themselves and is false. Jesus said, "Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,"

thats the problem with trying to put everyone in a group. It is not a protestant vs catholic issue.

Eternal security is from God. not some church.

Sounds like the people who deny eternal security to me.

they put on a false clothing and appear to be righteous. but deny that inside they are sinful and in need of Christ.
