Please quote the post that you're referring to that says "people here say they dont have to keep the ten commandments". All you have is an argument against a ghost that only exists in your own head. In fact, by repeating that obvious error over and over, I'm sure now that you're doing it...

I have. I refer you to all the posts that I already wrote in this thread. I only wish that you would offer the same curtesy. Dave

Hey Chester. The nature of the seal is that it can only be broken by the one that made it. Seems pretty straight forward. There are exact verses there. The Truth is in the context. Ephesians 1:11-14 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him...

Does anyone here in this thread actually believe that eternal security teaches that a person can live any way that they choose to, even sinning blatantly, and be guaranteed salvation? Dave

This was before Pentecost, so no one was indwelt and sealed yet. Some were owed that promise. Judas would have been among that group of disciples. Although Jesus told those same disciples to believe while He (the Light, the Word) was with them in John 12:35-36. Judas was in the presence of God...

Why do I need an excuse for Judas?

Hey 2 You are assuming that they were indwelt. In the OT, and specifically these who you quoted, David and Saul, had the Spirit upon them but not indwelling as a seal. The seal is the NT indwelling that places believers in Christ. The Spirit can leave someone who He is upon, but not indwelt. 1...

@timf @Dino246 @Mem @Komentaja @dkontner I agree. I stumbled across this link when pondering the idea that the word "faith" in Scripture is used to mean so many different things, like believing, and it's also a metaphor for spiritual life (Hebrews 12:2), and many times it's used to contrast...

Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Romans 8:38-39, Philippians 1:6, 1 Peter 1:5.

Start with this. Foundationally, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, called the Spirit of Christ, is the life. Romans 8:9-11 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ...

Hey Randy I've been on Christian forums that over regulate. I've had posts edited down to next to nothing. Not just opinion, Scripture was removed. I left immediately. I don't remember the name of that forum. It was just done dishonestly. I may not agree, but I can tell when someone has an axe...

In Hebrews 6:14-20, Abraham received the promise in type, Isaac, but not the spiritual realization of it in Jesus. A very profound statement here in Galatians 3 Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Romans 4:14...

Galatians 3:10-13 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them." But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the...

It's important to understand the context to know what is being said. Matthew 19:16-22 also says that what is impossible for man is possible for God. And the young rich man was told if a he gave away his wealth that he would be perfect, which is what the Law requires. I'm sure that giving away...

I never had a problem with the moderators On Christianforums.net. That was the first forum that I posted on, or one of them. Then I took about twenty years off and then I posted there again for a while about a year ago. One time I was called a bigot there by a member for saying that...

I agree But when we see our works as a vehicle for being justified, or not, or even maintaining the gift of grace from God, then love cannot be the motive. Obedience, the Law, is a burden, rather than the freedom that grace offers. Our actions become debt. Under grace, we know that we're...

You're right, our eternal life depends on it. Obedience, or lack of, is not the question at hand. It's the motives, what or who do you trust in. Motive will determine outcome. "Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: "Two men...

But He did say that, and I quote the Scripture. Here's a reminder of the most profound one that I can think of. Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of...

Man I am getting old, I said this already. I thought it sounded familiar. You'r right, it's me. lol I tell the people at my work the reason that I sometimes talk to myself is because that's the only way that I can have an intelligent conversation around there. :p I guess you gotta roll with it.
