Awww, thank you very much. I have popped by here a couple of times, so I'm quite familiar with the heated discussion that goes on around here.
LOL, my avatar is none of what you have suggested. It's my lil sissy. I'm quite young to be married with kids hehe.
I also count myself as non-denomination conservative evangelical
I was raised as a Christian my as a child until I had to make my own personal decision to follow Christ. I don't know exactly when but it was when I was a pre-teen. I'm still growing as a young person
Thank you again, sir.

AMEN! Good to have you here. May the Lord Bless you. I know some think I have a very narrow mind, but that is because I follow the MOST narrow minded man that ever Lived, and still is LORD and KING.
John 14:6 (CSBBible)
6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Hi VCO, I pray each day God is healing you so that you can continue to live a healthy life for our Savior.
Question, have you ever considered doing voluntary work here at Christianchat.com? I think you would be an excellent Moderator plus an overall asset to this wonderful Conservative Christian Forum. I would be the first to give approval for you to become a Moderator and I'm sure there are others who would agree with me.
The reason being is that you show Christ like love to everyone who posts on this forum. Maybe you could at least give it some consideration and I have heard that there are Moderators here who were once general posters like you and I...
God bless!

Your Jesus must be weak, inept or a liar...
Mine...
Begins a work of faith
Finishes the work of faith
Completes the work of faith
And remains faithful to his promises even if we believe not after faith
The gifts and calling of God are IRREVOCABLE <---Do you understand this word?
SAVED TO THE UTTERMOST <--Do you understand this word
Kept by the power of GOD THROUGH FAITH <--The same faith he begins, finishes and COMPLETES IN US

Except for the fact they are false and not biblical.......It must be tragic to serve a faux Jesus that is not in the bible Fran.....one that does not finish and complete the work of faith he begins, one that does forsake you and leave you, one that does not save to the uttermost and or keep by his power through the faith he begins, finishes and completes.......

...At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:10-14
WRONG!
Counterfeit Faith can be LOST, but NOT GENUINE FAITH.
1 John 2:19 (HCSB)
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.
THOSE WHO APPEAR TO HAVE FALLEN AWAY, WERE NEVER BORN AGAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
1 Peter 1:3-6 (HCSB)
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.
5 You are being protected by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials
John 10:26-30 (HCSB)
26 But you don’t believe because you are not My sheep.
27 My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
30 The Father and I are one.”
IT IS NOT ETERNAL IF YOU CAN LOSE IT.
John 3:3-7 (HCSB)
3 Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 “But how can anyone be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked Him. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.
IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT ETERNAL LIFE.
ONLY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS GO TO HEAVEN.
Romans 11:6 (HCSB)
6 Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.
OBEDIENCE IS NOT PART OF SALVATION, IT IS PART OF OUR LOVE FOR HIM. OUR LOVE FOR HIM, SPAWNS OUT OF HIS LOVE FOR US, THAT LOVE THAT THE MOMENT THE HOLY SPIRIT ENTERS OUR HEARTS (HUMAN SPIRIT), HE POURS INTO OUR HEARTS.
Romans 5:5 (HCSB)
5 This hope will not disappoint ⌊us⌋, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
SALVATION happens the MOMENT the HOLY SPIRIT ENTERS YOUR HEART after you Genuinely Repent, RECEIVING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD, meaning MASTER; our of pure LOVE coming from your HEART (Human Spirit).
SANCTIFICATION is a life long process that will arrive at perfection the DAY HE gives us the Resurrected Body that cannot even think SIN. Therefore Sanctification is Conforming our bodies to WALK LIKE CHRIST.
