    Quality of Faith

    If you are not being tried you probably don't have very good faith because God won't put on us more than we can burden. And even though it seems like you're walking in quick sand you really are increasing your faith because you keep going forward and seeking God's help.

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    Theoretically nothing. It's just the fact that most Denominations scorched the idea and tried to bury it. Even the Methodist tried then in the 1800s one day after centuries and generations of not believing it it just happened and caused a rift and big split.

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    One thing is for sure is that this discussion has revealed who is a follower of choice aka free will and who is a follower of the chosen doctrine. Those who believe Judas and Saul never served God even under the Law most likely appear to be Reformed and those who believe the opposite but later...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    It's a Theology! Ironic as it may sound but the Reformed Methodist Church in the latter 1800s experienced the modern day version of Speaking in Tongues and caused a split from the Reformed Dogma. It just happened to people who preached it had Ceased and it continues to this very day.

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    It's probably safe to say that since Eve confessed her sin unto God she most likely knew before eating from the Tree that is was a sin. Whether Adam or God told her she knew what she was doing and confessed it afterwards.

    What is "God's Word?"

    In literal terms God's Word is whenever the Old Testament clarifies thus saith God, the Lord God, or whenever we see Christophonies. There's specific separation between God telling a Prophet something and the Prophet repeating it. In the New Testament anything Red Letter or what Yeshua said...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    That Scripture reference are her own words. And we understand that God met with Adam and Eve every evening so what is to say God didn't tell Eve since from her being created until her picking from the Tree could have been years. The Hebrew peoples believe it's possible Adam and Eve lived in...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Eve knew and quoted God 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

    Is the Holy Spirit actively working today? Also, Is the Holy Spirit necessary for salvation?

    The Holy Spirit will be here at least until the Two Witnesses ascend back to Heaven and possibly beyond that for the 144k. It would be impossible for the Two Witnesses to perform the miracles Revelation speak about with the Power of God. Therefore the Holy Spirit has been here since Yeshua...

    "The Meaning of Foreknew in Romans 8:29"

    It's talking about the Ancient Hebrew peoples that we see held captive in the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man. Once those specific things God did for them we read in Romans 8 was applied to them they were freed and went to Heaven.

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    Actually, you didn't provide Scripture until a post or two ago and that I was never debating against. I guess because you quoted a post that was directed towards another there was an idea that you were making a case for them. But I agree that the Holy Spirit was with them at that time and not...

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    Many theologians point out that Jesus would not grant miraculous power to an agent of Satan. The ability to cast out demons meant Judas acted under divine authority. How would an agent of Satan be able to cast out Satan?

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    You mean that in Samuel chapter 10 that describes Saul looking after his dad's donkeys and being crowned king with the anointing oil and then he gets married and has children and then rebels against God by not killing all of the Amalekites you are claiming that Saul was not obeying the Law when...

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    I am copying the Scholar and Theologians answer. God commanded the prophet Samuel to anoint Saul, the son of Kish, as the first king of Israel. After Saul arrived in town searching for his lost donkeys, God revealed to Samuel that Saul was the chosen man, leading Samuel to privately pour a...

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    Scripture tells us God sent Samuel to find Saul who was in the field watching donkeys. Then after finding Saul Samuel anointed Saul King. At that moment there was no David. Stop making things up. That is what Scripture tells us and you don't like it tell it to God. But at that moment Saul...

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    Until Yeshua died those under the Law were still in the same condition as those going back to Moses. You know that's fact but you would rather use opinion over Scripture to fit your personal doctrine.

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    Without Scripture you are just voicing opinion and that's equivalent to man made Doctrine.

    Was Judas Iscariot saved, or was he not?

    They were still saved under the Law at that point. Clearly you have no idea what you are saying.
