If you want to explain away plainly written scriptures, that is your choice. I'm not going to go over plainly written posts to "prove you wrong" or "prove I'm right" to seesaw back & forth with you or anyone else for the sake of a useless argument. What I will say is this: Accept the plainly...

NAS Heb 6: 4For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have [e]fallen away, to restore them...

Those who say God predestined anything about our salvation gets scores of people making automatic assumptions what the thread is about. I think the word "predestination" should be taken out completely & simply state what you want to talk about.:) God's plan was to save anybody & everybody. It's...

If he doesn't allow you to discipline, he's disrespecting both you & your beliefs If you've really done everything, threaten him with divorce. If that doesn't affect him, serve him divorce papers immediately. This isn't my usual advice, but if you've done everything, you're done. Another...

Simple. Secular is Satan's. There's NO neutral secular music. Nowadays even some "christian" music is not holy. What some christians have done is change their standards to accept it.

That's 2 judgment calls. God won't allow 1 person to run off half a church. More than likely they will never come back because of the falling away.

I win! Let's celebrate!!!

True, but God no longer winks at ignorance.

1 Corinthians 15:33 New American Standard Bible Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” Proverbs 17:5 One who mocks the poor taunts his Maker; One who rejoices at disaster will not go unpunished. Isaiah 57:4 4“Of whom do you make fun? Against whom do you open wide your...

Has anyone noticed that the commercials are worse than some of the shows!

1 Thessalonians 5:2But we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who diligently labor among you and [h]are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you instruction, 13and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. 14We urge you...

I am curious. Do you believe a false prophet/teacher/pastor will receive a teacher's/prophet's/pastor's judgment for leading the people astray? After all, to whom much is given, much is required. If they hold that position, they keep the right one out.

I have a question: what are others watching when they read this Op? I remember the days when WWJD was in style. I liked it for a little while. Then I had a smack-in-the-face reality check about WWJD: 1. Many christians had NO CLUE of what Jesus would do, while 2. others simply didn't care. I...

I believe teaching Roman Catholicism isn't permitted on this site.

I think it means what things people say regularly, speaking about their lifestyle. A true christian will often speak good of the Lord, while sinners will say the opposite. Matthew 5:37 English Standard Version Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil...

I remember an old saying about the health of the modern church: "Some ase cold & a few are frozen".

This Op continues to be more complicated as it goes. Let's start back here with the scriptures: Matthew 24:36 English Standard Version “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 1. Most important versions has the "Son"...

This is what I found there: How long did this state of things continue? It was the characterizing peculiarity of specifically the Apostolic Church, and it belonged therefore exclusively to the Apostolic age — although no doubt this designation may be taken with some latitude. These gifts were...

Usually it's someone pushing their personal(false) beliefs on others. Good call.:)
