If conditions dictate it, God can very easily go back on His promises. Read the parable of the merciful king. Here the king gives an extraordinary gift to a man, then the man goes out and does an outrageously bad thing. The king calls the man back into his palace and not only takes away the...

The scriptures talk about repentance. How does this doctrine fit into your theology?

You are right, God is not a liar, so you better be willing to forgive all who trespass against you, or God will not forgive you your trespasses against him. If God said that (which he did in the bible Matthew 6:14-15, I would not ignore that statement. For as you say, God is not a liar. And...

So you too are in the tiny group that thinks they worship the correct Jesus and 90% of all other Christians worship the wrong Jesus? So if Christians don't believe 100% of what you and decon and truthtalk believe, then we are in trouble and our Jesus will not save us? Is that how it works...

If you make the decision to go into a porn movie and the HS is yelling at you to stop, and you push the prompting out of your mind and go in and enjoy a porn movie, the HS is not going to go with you into that movie. On a more dangerous scale, if you decide to kill a person, and you plan and...

Not necessarily. It depends on the direction you continue on. If you recognize your weakened faith, and repent and get back on the right path, you will be forgiven and all is right. If you continue to slide to the point of denying the HS, you will not be forgiven and will not have eternal...

James says that our faith is made perfect by good works. Of course our final perfection will only be accomplished by the grace of Jesus Christ.

I do believe that, but I also believe we have to live the law of Christ. A lot of Christians don't even know there is a law of Christ.

It will be a bad day for those that think they have the right to salvation based upon what they have done and their wonderful works in his name. You know very well that that is not what I have ever said, so it will not be a bad day for me, thank you. But it will be a bad day for a person who...

So 90% of Christians believe in the wrong Jesus? Wow! Geesh! Wow!

OK, I believe that.

Is Jesus a liar when he says that if you do not forgive, God will not forgive you?

So you believe is OSAS, I do not. Wow man, 1/2 of Christianity do not believe in OSAS. I am not the only one, geesh.

No, I just did not go into all the details of what it means to repent, one of which is to make amends with the person you harmed. In your case asking for forgiveness, which may also include restitution for suffering you have endured by his hand. So the act of repentance is not a simple 'please...

Yes BillG, I believe that if you had not forgiven your abuser, you would not have eternal life with Christ, who forgave all his abusers. I do not say that you have been in hell for 1460 days, but I will say that if you had not forgiven that person, you will not live with God and Jesus for 1460...

That was nice to say that I am saved. I will still do the works that Jesus creates for me to do. I suspect you will too.

Exactly, if your heart is inclined to God, our spirit will produce the fruit of works. If your heart is not inclined to God our spirit will not produce the fruit of good works. Hisholly was also not just referring to circumcision. He was also referring to sacrificing his son, etc., etc., etc.

I agree, but necessary none the less, especially if the HS is prompting you to do the good works. Can you reject the prompting of the HS and not do the good work that the HS is prompting you to do?

To me, being born again is just the gate onto the path of eternal life. That is where the journey begins, not ends.

You say that like you hate me. You know what Jesus thinks about a person who hates. One scripture I will give you is Matthew 6:14-15. To the 'saved' Jesus says, you either forgive all or my father will not forgive you of all the trespasses you have done towards Him. Have you and will you...
