Not By Works

Speaking of Adam and EVE.....they, by their own works and self effort attempted to cover their sin, nakedness and shame......God rejected it and had to fix it for them.....

The same is true of the workers for and salvation maintainers/losers......your attempt is as feeble as man sewing fig leaves together in an attempt to HELP GOD cover your nakedness and shame!

Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified BY FAITH without the deeds/works of the law.

And make no mistake.....if the works/deeds of the law will not justify before GOD, your own humanistic works will fail even more miserably.......as a matter of fact....they are as filthy rags before the God of heaven....

Trust JESUS....he saves to the UTTERMOST and KEEPS by his power, nor will he LOSE a thing!

For the salvation losers/maintainers.....the word of the day........KEPT

KEPT
phroureó: to guard
Original Word: φρουρέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: phroureó
Phonetic Spelling: (froo-reh'-o)
Definition: to guard
Usage: I guard, keep, as by a military guard.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

JESUS begins, finishes and COMPLETES the work of faith in US........TO say WE MUST MAINTAIN it until the end to remain saved absolutely contradicts the bible.......JESUS finishes and COMPLETES it in US......

Trust JESUS and not the false ideology of the salvation losers/maintainers.....

I totally agree 😀

So what do you say to the person who states a person can walk away?

Most people here on BDF, that believe salvation is not completely secure, will state this can happen.

Is our choice to do so constrained?

I can see where God allowing us free will includes the free will for us to walk away, thus revoking the gift of salvation. That said, God remains faithful even when we are not, so it can be argued biblically that our choice is indeed restrained. Thank God He knows best. 😊

Suggest you study the Bible....not so.
One looses or gives up born again status .............G-d does not revoke.

He had to cover up with LEAVES:



AND, eat ENVY APPLES, the BEST apples on the PLANET, from New Zealand.
If you are lucky you will find them in the Grocery Store.

Amen! When you are kept, you are guard which literally means you are secured. Who does the securing? The Bible says

Philippians 1:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Reread my statement and hopefully you will see that you and I agree. The revoking of which I speak is done by humans. Again, that’s if it’s possible. It may not be possible. God remains faithful even when we are not.

That is the honest truth, ENVY APPLES are twice as good and Red Delicious Apple. Once in a blue moon, I find them in the Grocery Store.

And I buy as many as I think will not spoil.

If you cannot find them in your store, Keep in mind they are from New Zealand, so the opposite season is when you want to order them. So they will not be ripe until early Spring.

AMEN brother.........ALL JESUS or fraudulent.....

I do not believe that crap for one second.......the bible covers this as well.......

If be become FAITHLESS, HE abides faithful because HE cannot deny HIMSELF........all the salvation losers and self maintainers need to let that last clause sink in.....

I have a nice little fresh fruit and veggie market in Richmond Australia that I buy my fruit and veggies from......I bet they can get it or have it

I agree but I was not sure how they deal with that verse?

Well this is an interesting twist on that scripture....

"If we are characteristically unbelievers"... If we are unbelievers, He will faithfully throw us into hell, being faithful to his New Covenant whereby "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him." John 3:36 You can count on that!

I guess this would be called reading into the text

One cannot DE-SON himself after he has been BORN a SON by INCORRUPTIBLE seed....and the gift is irrevocable ad MAINTAINED by the faithfulness of CHRIST

Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.


Now what do you call Willful Ignorance of that Specific VERSE ? ? ?

Of this I have not doubt, just not really understanding why others cannot or will not believe it.

They tryna shoot rockets after YA BOY H. in Eilat!

Come at me!

Idiocy.......!! That is what I would call it...or idiotic willful rejection of truth

A plethora of reasons....

a. Religious persuasion or upbringing
b. Ignorance
c. Obstinate hard head-ism
d. My daddy always believed-ism
e. Rejection of scripture

The list belies the MANY that will come before the throne claiming JESUS as LORD and their right to enter based upon what they have done.......
