They abide in the Vine. Yes!!! :D

1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

Well, well, well.. You have heard it now, for that is my testimony. First time for everything. ;)

The libraries in my area are struggling to stay open. I suspect that the internet has done them in. :( I have fond memories of Library Days in Elementery School. :) The Librarian used to read stories to us. :geek:

Me too! :giggle: Yup! :D :oops:...No! Salvation is not like something that you take to the casino and gamble with. Salvation is not something that you take to the circus and juggle around with at the dog and pony show. Salvation is something that you love and cherish and take good care of...

Welcome, Gary, and thank you for sharing that wonderful testimony! :)(y):coffee:

No, we cannot "lose" our Salvation, but many have casted it off and away. There is nothing vague or complicated about this distinction. Jesus will not force anyone to follow who does not desire to follow. That is the way of love. It's like the guy who goes fishing, loses his temper, and throws...

Salvation is the beginning of a wonderful journey, but we must remain faithful to Jesus. It is a personal relationship with our Lord, and that is how relationships work. Warnings against apostacy abound, but He provides strength for the day.

Amen, dear brother! :)(y) We're the ones who profit When we say, We are going to walk with Jesus Every day! -Doris Acres Those who develop some sort of entitlement complex after serving Jesus have forgotten what Jesus first did for them. Luke 17:10 “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all...

Welcome to CC, brother Warren. I like your testimony very much. Sounds much like how the Apostles and Prophets might have lived. In the world but not of it. Great will be your reward in Heaven, my friend.

Welcome to CC, dear sister Val! So glad you came. :)(y):coffee:

Many mistakenly believe that works can come first. Many believe that a mindless zombie can be saved if he is of the predestinated elect.

That why animals had to be sacrificed. Jesus.

That's the way works is supposed to work. Mutilated mutations abound.

There is no problem with Revelation. There may be a problem with your understanding and interpretation. The Dragon is Satan and the Woman is the avenue though which Jesus came to Earth. It does not refer to a specific female individual. In v.6, it mentions this woman fleeing into the...
