That is not a necessary conclusion as I’m sure you know. God has allowed for that when He commanded repentance. Not only that Hebrews 10:26 says that there is plenty of Jesus’s sacrifice to cover all of our sins as long as they are not done “willfully”. So it would seem that you are trying...

The passage clearly gives us the choice to “put off” the old man and we must choose to “put on” the new man. No one forces us to do this. I don’t see how this scripture proves that once you decide to put on”. The new man you can never “fall away”, which is what this thread is about. Find a...

The very fact that we can CHOOSE to be a slave to sin OR A slave to Him, PROVES we have free will to CHOOSE! You just proved my point. Thank you.

Where is the scripture in the Bible that says we do not have free will or teaches we do not have free will? Did Jesus the good shepherd force the “lost sheep” to leave the fold and get lost or did he leave of his own free will? Luke 15. You gave no scripture to sustain your position...

If we have free will to choose salvation or reject Christ in the first place, we also have free will to choose to be faithful to him or to leave and return to the world. God is the one who gives salvation and HE has made it CONDITIONAL upon our “believing and obeying Him to be saved and then...

2 Thess. 2:14- we are “called” by the gospel, not a direct operation of the Holy Spirit. This is The Bible definition of “being called.” Men have a different definition. Who do you think is right? In Acts 8, Phillip “preached Christ” to the Samaritans. They “heeded” the things he preached...

Yes, indeed, beware of them if you don’t like the “truth” of God’s word.

2 Thess.. 2:14- we are “called” by His gospel.

I certainly will. And will continue to do so. Prayer is powerful. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

How many parables he taught does not change the meaning at all. The parable of the prodigal son is about a child of God leaving, throwing away his inheritance (heaven), thus being lost; then repenting, and returning to God, and being restored to his former state (saved) as a son.

IGNOR those who disagree with you? Satan couldn’t have said it better himself. That’s exactly the kind of advice he would give. He doesn’t want you to study ( 2Tim 2:15), or “test” the spirits 1 John 4:1, or “search the scriptures to see if those things are true” like the Berians did and...

That’s easy. Roman’s 10:17-“ so then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Gid.” The Bible definition is never wrong. Every example of conversion in the book of Acts shows this.

Did you miss the part of the story where the son was sorry, told his father (God) he was sorry, and his father ( God) forgave him and took him back? Where did we lose you? God’s word is plain and easy to understand unless you don’t want to.

I must admit, this made me laugh. (I didn’t think anything on this thread could do that.)

I am amazed you can read people’s minds and hearts to know what they think! Doesn’t God tell us NOT TO JUDGE people’s hearts and motives—I thought only He could do that.

Luke 15 is the story Jesus told of a “lost sheep” (Lost spiritually) who “repented” and was restored to the fold of God. Luke 15 is also the story of a “son” of God who leaves his FATHER and is “lost”. But “comes to himself (senses), repents, and returned to his Father. God even tells us...

Well, first of all, John could not possibly be “Calvinist scum” ( your words, not mine) because this was 1500 years before anyone ever heard of his doctrine of “once saved, always saved”. That one fact ought to be enough to prove that this doctrine is not part of the gospel of Christ. Any...

And yet, Jesus lost one! Luke 15. And Jesus tells the story himself. John 10 is talking about sheep being stolen or “snatched” away; which does not even apply to what we are discussing. Luke 15 is about sheep leaving of their own free will and being lost; which is exactly what this thread...

The “Calvinistic loophole.” Based purely on men’s assumption—not God or scripture.
