Those regard service, not salvation. We are never out of fellowship with God - nor could we ever be. Should Christians live holy lives? Absolutely. But yet again, we are already totally forgiven. We are perfect, holy, and righteous. It is finished. No repeat necessary. The reasons a Christian...

Yet another verse taken out of context. The target audience John is speaking about are unbelievers. John appeals to those who do not have "the truth" in them (1 John 1:8) and do not have "His word" in them (1 John 1:10). Unlike 2 John 1:1-2 that tells us we believers do have the truth in us...

Then you've failed - and will continue to fail - every single day.

Amen!

God loves animals - He certainly made a lot of them! I believe they hold a special place in His heart. Asking the Lord for healing for Roxy, in Jesus name. Amen! :)

Lifting the names of Alina and Eva up to the Lord, asking in the precious name of Jesus, for healing for these to two children!

I would give the same answer to Christians who commit so-called "minor" sins. Sin is sin - and all Christians sin - every, single day. You sinned yesterday, you sinned today, and you'll sin tomorrow. The act of forgiveness has been completed. Jesus paid for them all. I've said this numerous...

False converts have no place in this conversation. That's a verse that actually reminds us we have been fully cleansed. In the same vein as Jesus making intercession for us when Satan comes accusing. It's a reminder we are the children of God and will remain so as long as Jesus lives. After...

There's no difference, as you just stated fellowship can be "broken" or "hindered. So...that was weird. Confession is indeed good for us - but it doesn't gain us any more forgiveness than we received at conversion. It's all or nothing.

Broken fellowship between believers is certainly a possibility, but not between God and His children. You wrote: You are placing your own interpretations into God's word. If what you say is true, man can NEVER have fellowship with God. Or might - but only briefly during the day, or the course...

I find it odd that people go right to "major" sins in an effort to dispute salvation without works (before or after conversion). If you have even a single lie, a single lustful thought, a single act of thievery (like stealing time from your boss by goofing off) attributed to you, you are...

Can you show me from the New Testament where one loses fellowship or communion with God because of sin? If that were so, most believers would pop in and out of fellowship with God countless times during the day.

Since every sin you and I and every Christian since Christ died was in the future, and all sin has been paid for and forgiven, there is nothing left to ask forgiveness for. 1 John 5:16-17 doesn't mention asking God to forgive any such sin, it's speaking of sparing a brother the results of sins...

Given the choice, we all would have chosen the same way Adam and Eve did. We cannot blame God because mankind still chooses to rebel. Yet keep in mind, this will not remain this way forever. God will soon bring this mess to a close. He will deal with man's rebellion once and for all. Then He...

Um...what? Did I ever say baptism wasn't important? Nope. I say, and the Bible certainly proves, that baptism has nothing to do with one's salvation. Period. Now who is bearing false witness? Are you implying I'm a drinker? My handle is "Budman" because Bud is my nickname. So you may want...

So, you are literally saying all of your sins weren't paid for on the cross. Lets them go where? Forgiveness is a one-time event. There are zero examples in the Bible of anyone, after conversion, having sins still attributed to them. If that were so, Jesus would have to come back and die for...

Quite a ridiculous smoke screen you threw up there. The simple fact that there are examples in scripture that show people were saved apart/before baptism shatters you whole case. How do you explain those away? You, of course, explain them away by ignoring them. Again, those examples I gave...

I think the Biblical view is that God has predestined, or "elected" to save anyone who will place their faith in Jesus Christ. Just my two cents. Carry on. :)

God never said He will protect us from every storm, but He did promise to be with us through them. We live in a fallen, cursed world. It's not God's fault that man chose to rebel. And we are still living with the fruits of our rebellion. I pray God will grant you and your family healing...

Sorry I missed your post the first time around. It's good to see you again. :) I have no problem with any Christian who works. I have always said we should live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. The problem I have are with those who say one "must" or "will" or it's proof one isn't saved...
