18 When the righteous turn from their righteousness to do wrong, they will die because of it. 19 And when the wicked turn from their wickedness to do what is just and right, it is for that reason they will live. 20 Yet you say, "My Lord's way doesn't measure up." I judge each one of you according to your ways, house of Israel!

So once saved always saved is designed by the enemy to nullify this part

18 When the righteous turn from their righteousness to do wrong, they will die because of it.

And Predestination is designed to nullify this part:
19 And when the wicked turn from their wickedness to do what is just and right, it is for that reason they will live.

Now who is the warrior that always attempts to nullify the bible and make people feel SECURE when they are in trouble?

Who would say to an army

Dont worry, were going to win!
Sleep, rest and stop worrying?

Would not a person saying these foolish things an enemy in the camp of God's army?

What would Jesus say?

You cannot save yourself by works
No one ever said that
the enemy twists that out of it

and if we warn them the enemy callls us SELF RIGHTOUS

becasue

he is the enemy! The enemy of righteousness (Commandment keeping)

You cannot be saved by keeping the commandments it is natural like a songbird sings

but
you also CANNOT BE SAVED BY COMMANDMENT BREAKING
impossible to be saved by commandment breaking willfully.

But those who are being sanctified ONLY do good works and we increase more and more unto the perfect day

Those who worship and pray to idols and do evil works and sin and live for self will not inherit the kingdom no matter if once they thought they were saved they have fallen away and don't love God any more

God hates divorce and it is a sin
do not divorce yourself from God the word of God ever again and you will be victorious

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.


thus the scriptures exhort us... we must have works, or we are not saved. show me sola fide in that... and if you really think about it that teaching is a form of salvation by works as well... because it is a work of your conciseness, and your mind to accept there is a God, accept that he wishes to save you, and also accept the salvation.. God does not force us to accept this gift, but we must willfully accept it.

to believe that any of the sacraments are mere symbol is to greatly undermine the power of the Holy Spirit.
Why, the only difference between the terms is a sacrament can only be administered by a church official and scripture doesn’t teach that. A lay person can lead communion the same as a paid employee, and a father can baptize his child in a public baptism the same as a pastor.

So how does this affect the Holy Spirit in anyway? I don’t see that it does.
And since we don’t rescrafice Christ calling him down from his throne above each week, we don’t need a witch doctor to have communion. Oh and don’t try to argue that last point as your catechism says it’s a real and present sacrifice.

this view of God is in fact the pitiful... our God is mighty enough to bring all to salvation, but loving enough to give us the opportunity to be involved in our own salvation. God wants a relationship, not robots.
Three views:
One the universalist, that God can and will save all. (Which is False)

The particularist fall in two catagories

God is powerful enough to save all but dosent
God is powerful enough to save all but assures that some are. Thats my God!

My what a holier than thou attitude! I only care what the bible teaches about Christ and salvation by grace.

I do have a great concern for Catholics who give equal authority to church tradition and scripture. I am concerned that they are like Simon the sorcerer who had a knowledge of God but never had any heart belief. Simon was very religious on the outside and very far from God on the inside. Desiring the image of power by not wanting any true relationship with God.

For the cause of Christ

I agree with you on this Malachi to a degree. We do need works, but not a specific amount to be saved [which Im pretty sure is in Catholicism].

Basically, you are to do good deeds, but it doesn't specify how many, etc.

We are still saved by Grace, but works are indeed a part of your Faith.




On a side note, did you ever read my post to you? It's on page 5 post #97. Nobody has tried to refute what I said yet.

By the way sarcasm is of another spirit...
Jesus never uses sarcasm
He most certainly did! Really, did you really say that with a straight face, or are you yanking our chain for a reaction?
Your joking right?

Malachi where does GOOD works come from? And who does the GOOD WORKS of faith? As I showed you in the Bible Study room you have NO idea who the workerds of God's GOOD WORKS are. NO idea! To make a statement like NO ONE IS PERFECT, is already so unbiblical it is scary!

I ask you once again, did you see the video clip where the pope declares himself the anti-christ.
Pope Francis Declares Himself the Antichrist and Lucifer "the Father" - YouTube

I hope this works or else you can go see it on the thread in the Bible discussion forum under the title ... The pope declares himself anti-christ and lucifer the father of Jesus.

Please give me your take on the clip... It was pope francis.... watch it and explain what you make of this....

It causes confusion if you do, and the world is confused enough. If I work at a mission with Catholics then it appears that we both believe the same thing. I don't want the world to be deceived that the RCC church is anything other than just another world religion. We want people to put there faith in Christ not an organization. Its all about the gospel and holding up the true gospel rather than a cheap substitute. Eternity is at stake!

I speak of the teachings against our Mother, the Holy Eucharist, and the Church her self.
Where were you when your mother your Holy Eucharist and your Church her self was killing with the sword anyone who opposed their teachings.
Now you cry for for an organization that has committed the most evil against God and against mankind in the history of the world.

And it wasn't Protestants burning Catholics alive, England under Elizabeth I, or enslaving an entire continent of peoples?

That why brother, we not put our hope in to a man organization. In Christ and in Christ alone, the center of our hope and our salvation. Not Church teaching, but Christ teaching.

Why we trust church teaching? when the bible said test every teaching, see if inline with the Christ teaching base on the bible.

Do you see me with the mark of protestant...I follow Christ according to the Word of God not a doctrine of man..where do you think protestants come from? They came from your catholic faith ...Not following true scripture but doctrine of other men...

How easy it is for you to deny your fellow man. I find your inability to accept that Christians sometimes fall far and commit grave sin unnerving. It's as if you truly do not care for your fellow man, but instead piously pretend to.

You do realize that argument doesn't prove that Peter wasn't the first Pope, it just argues that the word Pope wasn't used then.

Based on your argument, David and Solomon weren't Kings, since the word King didn't exist until the English language.
The pope is the head of your church....Christ is the head of his church
