Couldn't agree more! Deut 28:9 The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. We are instructed to walk in His ways! 1 John 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar...

If I understand you correctly, these verses do not speak of works which must be done in order to become saved. Acts 2:21-And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Rom 10:9 - because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and...

I would have given you the winner response, but they no longer have it! :)

Just pointing out that we all fail, but that does not mean that we lose salvation. God will correct us - but He does not let us slip through His fingers.

John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. You failed!

Matt 7:12 Guess you just lost your salvation. . . .

When Jesus calms the storm, all His disciples are terrified and ask, do you not care that we are perishing? This is a clear case of placing the cares of this world above all else. They lost faith! Guess they were not saved after all. . . . . .:rolleyes:

I'm not sure what a tomatoe is, but I think they are saying that you should place your trust in them! :rolleyes:

Acts 9:13-15 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to...

I must sadly report that I have never found myself in the situation of needing to defend myself against aggressive women. I don't know why! Perhaps it's because I am a short/stocky man with four legs who shuffles along due to over-sized feet wearing body armor and carrying a lightsaber. Please...

It doesn't get much clearer than that! (y)

I apologize for the fact that everyone else must suffer though each post that you make. . . .

Because my trust is in Christ rather than myself. We are told in 1 John 3:9 - No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. Please note: It does not say No one born of God ceases to sin, which is...

Such as never having to repent when you fail? ;)

One day you'll understand that we are unable to! That's why we understand the need of a Savior, unlike you 1 John 1:8-10

You are so obedient! It must be a wonderful experience being you. . . .

I see too many post which speak of obeying and believing as works which we must do to become and remain saved. Get real, take a deep breath and ask yourself just where do these things come from? Does fallen man lift himself from the depth of depravity and turn to God in his own strength? I...

It seems to me that God sometimes allows us to reach a point that forces us to cling to Him. We desperately seek an answer and reach the point that we finally understand that He is our only help. He knows our frame. How we wander and seek answers in the wrong place, how we stray and begin to...

All good points! There will always be a risk, but I believe it is a risk worth taking, especially while younger. I would add a couple of thoughts. 1) If you live in a large town or city, consider buying property in a smaller town perhaps 15-20 miles away in the direction of growth. You would...
