Or...he wants to get rid of the corruption in the agency and restore the integrity of the agency.

They can't be saved. Jesus didn't come as an angel and die on their behalf. Also, their belief is not faith in that it did not result from faith. They know who Jesus is because they saw Him in heaven. They haven't believed in Him for salvation.

Faith is a work of God. Faith is the result of hearing, and that by the word of God. Does one give themselves hearing, or does the word of God do this? Salvation is a supernatural phenomenon, and not the work of men.

But that's the thing, I'm not troubled by works. They are to be expected of someone who has become a new creation. I just don't have people doing things they don't believe. And you are the 2nd person to defend unrighteousness behavior. That is your work. You don't believe his actions were...

Do you do things you don't believe?

No thanks. Appreciate the discussion.

No problem for me. Someone is saved and then does the works God prepared for them. Easy peasy. Saved, then works. In John 6 Jesus is asked what might be done so they could do the works of God. They aren't asking what the works of God are, but how they can do them. And He tells them that they...

I don't know all children. I do love my children unconditionally. I disagree that God loves on the basis of the value He sees in individuals. He tells us why He shows mercy...He has mercy upon whom He will. Nothing to do with any intrinsic value; merely God's sovereign choice. Rain and...

Read Isaiah 64:1-5. Those who see and experience God are those who wait, rejoice, live righteously, and keep God in their remembrance. If this is you, you should be experiencing God regularly.

God is infinite. There's always more.

My guess is when your life actually changed is when you were actually saved.

When someone gets saved they become a new creation. So while someone can be saved and not experience the baptism with the Spirit, they cannot be saved and not be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:9 teaches we cannot belong to Christ if we don't possess the Spirit of Christ. There is a...

I always thought when one was saved they became a Christian.

What's an unsaved Christian?

I have no problem with the scripture. Perhaps you should reread the parts that weren't scripture.

Jesus had harsh words concerning those who call another a fool...Matthew 5:22. Why doesn't it bother you that you're actions demonstrate a lack of love and are void of spiritual fruit? We are taught to examine ourselves to see whether we are in the faith, and not others. Perhaps if the log in...

As a poet myself I tend to be less critical, not more. I just went to the thread expecting 1 entry and didn't have time at that point for the volume of content.

No. It's either extended or not. If it is extended, it is unconditional for the recipient.

I didn't dislike it. I simply didn't read the lyrics so can't tell you if I like it or not.

God doesn't love Satan. Neither is God under any obligation to love anyone. What scripture do you believe supports such an argument?
