Yeah actually you are justifying evil by claiming your evil (sin) is somehow ok. While other people evil (sin) is not ok. How you can sin your sins and still get to heaven but they can not. Because the Bible, both OT and NT, distinguish between intentional (presumptuous) sins and unintentional...

What you are describing is false belief. Faith does save a man. Don't think you understand what faith is friend. Praying for you....

amen.

Amen on your last quote. Look i only have one concern. I have no church, no following, nor do i desire any. Just don't want people to live unfaithfully and be surprised on their last day....in Him

and where does the seed come from?

Respectfully, i read it over and over and over. Once i get through i start again. What i don't read are the ramblings of men.

Just to answer this directly, most believe (not saying you) that since works (bad or good) have no bearing on your salvation, LOGICALLY one can sin as much as one wants, be as worldly as one wants, or refuse to be led by the Holy Spirit and remain saved. I ask one simple question: Can a person...

Really? Here is one of a couple of passages that says different. Note the parts in italics. If we are faithful, God will never leave us but the idea that we can live as we please after we receive the Holy Spirit is not scriptural either. " I am the true vine, and my Father is the...

You skipped over a scriptural step and/or do not believe what is before your eyes. There are plenty of people in the world that love (and without God). They give their lives for others, they give of their resources to help others, yet don't believe in Jesus Christ. While every passage you...

Absolutely. In the Bible we have people with compromised, shipwrecked, and lost faith. We have people who have moved their faith from Jesus to something or someone else. Since we stand on faith, if we abandon the faith, we have lost that which we stand on. That is why the many warnings to...

You don't understand the relationship. Works follow faith. Faith begets works. We don't save ourself through works. Apples and oranges.

Look at the underlying Greek. Harpazo means to "carry off by force". We cannot be snatched (a verb meaning that someone else takes us) away from Christ. You can look this up. But we CAN separate ourselves. Many, many scriptures testify to this truth. That is what the meaning of the...

Be faithful to keep salvation. There are plenty of passages that tell about losing your faith either directly or indirectly.

For the first scripture, it is an encouragement, not a fact. In v5 he also sets the context: those who are participating with Him in the gospel; he has confidence in them since their works testify to their faith. The language explicitly says its a confidence. If it were a fact, it would be...

Read the w Absolutely true....

Again, you cannot see what the breadth of scripture says. Has NOTHING to do with washing myself. it is following the Spirit. It is you that oppose that because you tie following where the Holy Spirit leads with works done in the flesh. They are not the same. It is why we are told...

Has NOTHING to do with putting oneself under the law. This is the common claim of those who reject parts of the NT. They struggle to understand the scriptural difference between the written law and the law of the Spirit. People can only see one side or the other, not the whole truth. It is...

Amen
