You should consider every person (both you and every neighbor you ever come across) as "fearfully and wonderfully made" by their Creator: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14 (KJV) Every person...

I don't understand what you're asking, but here are a couple of passages that come to mind. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Eph 5:29 (KJV) For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those...

To purchase their salvation. (God must be just when He justifies the unjust, Rom. 3:26.) You answer your own question below: Yes, Rev. 13:8. Also - Who verily was [foreknown] before the foundation of the world, but was [made known] in these last times for you 1 Peter 1:20 Exactly. ...

All people, before or after Christ's resurrection, receive eternal salvation upon believing. None of these people receive the fullness of that salvation until after they die. The thief on the cross received salvation before he died and went to paradise. The Hebrews 11 people received...

The saints are already in the kingdom. Notice the past tense: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:13 (KJV) Our marching orders are to spread the good message; not to rule with a rod of iron. We're to wait for the...

The thief on the cross received salvation prior to Jesus' resurrection. All the people in Hebrews 11 did too.

backslid* = equals anything that begins with those letters; backslide, backslider, backsliding, backslidings, etc. I think there were 16 verses, mostly in Jeremiah.

I did a quick search of the KJV on the word "backslid*". All occurrences of the word are in the old testament. I can't find any occurrences of "church*" in the old testament. So instead of thinking about a "backsliding church", per se., it might be helpful to you to search the new testament...

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself PURGED our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Heb 1:3 (KJV) Jesus did all the purging necessary. ... the blood of Jesus...

How about both? Preach the word ... do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 2 Tim 4:2-5 (KJV)

Believers bring their children with them to church. All children start out lost.

Jesus was responding to Nicodemus' question, where Nicodemus brought up the subject of natural birth. Nicodemus had questioned Jesus' use of the word "again"; as in 'born again'. That requires 2 births. Jesus initiated the word 'again'. Nicodemus brought up the term 'mother's womb'. Jesus...

In your attempt at drawing a parallel, I think you should change that to: "However, since Mr Smith is [remorseful], he will be free as of today. And, no, that would not be fair and righteous because the dead victim is unable to testify in court of his forgiveness. In God's dealing with...

Just think of future history the same as past history. You can't change what you did in the past, but you shaped it at the time. So, no, your eternal state isn't set in stone; but once you get there it will have been set - by you.

I don't know anything about the origin of the word 'gentile', because it's not in the Bible; but I appreciate the distinction you're making regarding its occurrence in the text of Scripture. It seems that 'nations' is a more literal translation, where 'gentiles' (and probably 'heathen' also) is...

It could be understood as: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for (ice) the remission [that is available through faith alone]. The Greek word for "for" is "ice", and is rendered various ways. It doesn't have to mean that repentance &...

Eternal salvation for the individual has always been and will always be by grace through faith. Acts 2:38 can be interpreted in various ways.

The 2 Scripture excerpts I posted don't show us 'how'; they show us 'that'.

I'm not clear on the point you're trying to make, but I don't see a problem with understanding "Gentile" as "non-Jew" in the following verses: Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the [non-Jew]; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man...

I find it interesting that the same gospel that was preached by the author of Hebrews was the same gospel that was preached to the children of Israel at the exodus/wilderness (in more fullness of revelation, of course): For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them ... Heb 4:2 (KJV)...
