According to decan, the only inspired bible are the original Greek, Hebrew, and maybe the Aramaic. So what bible do you read from, I'm just guessing, but according to decon you are not reading an inspired version. If you love Jesus, you will keep his commandments. I agree. So tell me a few...

Read what Jesus says in Revelations about several of the churches. We can assume that he is talking about churches that have at least some saved people. But the church is told that if it doesn't repent it will be lost. Why must someone repent if they have ES/OSAS? To ask it another way, if...

Ditto to you, what will you do?

You have cut and pasted this response before. What do you mean by 'rightly divide'? Mark 16 16 And Jesus also said, he that believeth and is baptized will be saved... (and do not deflect what is obvious to be saved, by talking about what makes you be damned, the discussion is what you have...

Men obviously do not have power to save themselves, you can rest assured I do not believe that. But men do have the power to destroy themselves. Too many examples in the bible of good men that eventually turned on Jesus and lost their salvation. Can you tell me one story where a man or group...

I do not know. I only think that he chose Judas knowing Judas would be the traitor that would bring him to the cross.

bless you too BillG.

Judas obviously did not actually kill Jesus. I just read the bible again, and I apologize for getting that wrong. But it is through Judas's treachery that Jesus was captured and killed by the Romans (wow I didn't know that until you pointed that out to me, so thank you). What we know about...

You had to add your interpretation to the 1 Cor. scripture, why? Again, you had to editorialize Acts 1:5, why? Again, you had to editorialize/interpret Gal. 3:27, why? It is because it is not clear when the word baptism is used if it only refers to the baptism of the spriit. Besides none of...

I do not want to full stop you. When I feel like I have said enough about a subject, I will let you know and I will not talk of it more. If that is not OK with you, then just do not respond to my posts, and it solves both our problems.

Please, sometimes I answer a question with a question. Sometimes I answer the question outright. Go back and read by posts, especially to you, I answer your questions most of the time outright.

What do you think mouth to ear contact with Jesus is? Judas received all the instructions of Jesus, saw all of his miracles, witnesses all he did. He saw and heard it all. He was certainly, metaphorically, a branch. But since he finally did not believe, he was cast off. This is my final...

Prove that statement from the scriptues. Thank you. Where does it say that baptism is not necessary to be saved?

So that is the proof. I don't believe 100% of what you believe, therefore that is proof that I have not been baptized with the Holy Spirit. Is that arrogant or is it humility? Really, are you kidding? If I believed 100% of what you believe, then it is proof that I have had the baptism of...

He was talking to his 12 specially chosen disciples to be apostles. Not to you or I? He ask them to follow him, they CHOSE to do that. Peter for instance immediately put down his nets and went with the Savior. Mattthew left his tax table and went with the Savior. But they chose to do that...

Done with this discussion of Nicolas.

I am done with this discussion on Nicolas.

When you say silly addition, that is not an implication, that is a direct assault on the cerimony of baptism. Not a strawman either. I did not read that the apostles, who heard Jesus state his last words to go into the world and teach and baptize, argued with the Lord that since baptism is not...

Do you see it? You want to put everything on God and Jesus and nothing on self. If God and Jesus do everything, then according to that doctrine, They will save some and they will cause others to be cast into hell. I believe self has to be involved in the saving process or else there could be...

Baptism is not a silly add on. If Jesus tells us to be baptized, is that silly to you?
