    Do not vote for Trump

    I hope he is able to dismantle some of the deep state in his second 4-year term and pass on the torch to JD to finish the job over the next 8 years.

    Do not vote for Trump

    I think when Christians place themselves under the law, the weight of the law becomes so burdensome that they just cannot stand to see others living free of its burdens. As a result, they become very judgemnetal. I've seen it many times myself.

    Do not vote for Trump

    It is astounding to me how anyone who says they love the Lord can stand for the demon inspired policies of the US left.

    The Apostasy is on Full Display for the Whole World to See

    From this story: The scene in question featured a line of drag performers posing shoulder-to-shoulder on a Parisian bridge before turning the bridge into a fashion-forward catwalk. Later, those same queens celebrated over a meal where the dish was revealed to be a nearly nude man painted blue...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    They are going to dump her too. Then they will spiral into the pit, never to return again to power.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him? Yes, he could register as a Democrat and start promoting the wokeness of the left.

    Loss of salvation???

    When a person is burdend down by the requiremets of the law, they tend to be unhappy with people who are not. So are you sure you are not entangled in that yoke of bondage?

    Loss of salvation???

    So a good tree brings forth a mix of bad fruit and good fruit and as the tree matures it bears a higher percentage of good fruit and a lower percentage of bad fruit? 43 “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by its own fruit...

    Loss of salvation???

    Fortunately, God corrects His children because He loves them. And He doesn't stop until they are corrected. If they are without correction, they are not His. As a result, no true Christian will wake up one day a million miles away from the Lord and not know how he got there. (Heb 12:5-11) If we...

    Loss of salvation???

    Habitual sin is a misnomer because all sin is habitual. Name me a single person who does not sin on a regular basis. Let's take a famous Texas preacher's comment that on one occasion he had gone as many as three days in a row without committing a single sin. Even if that were true, and even if...

    Loss of salvation???

    My release from legalism was't passive (as in "You have been released". It was very active in that God led me (passive on my part) as He does others, but I had to trust Him and walk in His light (both things active on my part) in order to escape legalism's grip. And I can testify that the moment...

    Loss of salvation???

    No, I'm solidly in the eternal security camp. I was just opposing (poorly) the false notion that a person loses his salvation and must be saved again when he adopts a legalistic approach to Christian living. It should be obvious that Paul was telling them that their actions made them look like...

    Loss of salvation???

    Actually, I understand the book of Galatians pretty well. I once understood it from a legalistic perspective to not apply to me, but then I began to trust the Lord as He led me to the correct perspective. It took a long time (and much anguish) to unwind the many false notions I had about...

    Loss of salvation???

    Christians can be legalistic. There is no doubt about that. This does not mean they lost their salvation. If so, the Galatians, Colossians, Romans, Ephesians, and Corinthians (and Peter and James) would have lost their salvation. And course-correction is not the same thing as getting saved...

    Loss of salvation???

    There are apparently two NT Greek words translated "begotten". Here is the first (gennáō): γεννάω a beget: 23.58 b give birth: 23.52 c be born of: 13.56 d cause to happen: 13.129 Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996). In Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament: based on semantic domains...

    Loss of salvation???

    I think "only begotten" refers to Jesus becoming a human being. He was not created, but created everything. He did not come into being because He always existed. But He did become a man, and He was not always a man. I wonder if having this point of view makes people think I'm heretical since...

    Loss of salvation???

    There are two paths to rightness with God. One is to be perfect (i.e., never commit even one sin). This is the only path open for angels, since Jesus did not die for them and as a result forgiveness is not available to them. But this path is not open for mankind. The only path to rightness with...

    Loss of salvation???

    Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. (Ac 3:19)

    Loss of salvation???

    Yes!!! Otherwise this would be a circular argument... For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (1 Co 1:21)

    Unfortunately, if all you hear is crickets, you're gonna have to wait... "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him;" (Jn 6:44) When you hear Him, take what He says to heart, and go to Jesus as instructed... "It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by...
