    Understanding God’s election

    Correction is necessary at times. "If you had a any true understanding of God's holiness, you would invariably see yourself as a "maggot", a "worm of a man", a "dead dog" compared to a thrice holy God! But you proud, arrogant FWers just cannot see yourselves in this light!" I don't think the...

    You should do some research on vaccines. The smallpox vaccine is used to prevent smallpox infection caused by the variola virus.[10] It is the first vaccine to have been developed against a contagious disease. In 1796, British physician Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the...

    Vaccine is killing more people than covid

    More than eight billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered globally so far and 44.29% of people are fully vaccinated. Pre-authorization clinical trials were carried out and the safety of vaccines is still continuously monitored through post-commercialization surveillance. However...

    Loss of salvation???

    Actually Genez, the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth and church tradition does not do that.

    Loss of salvation???

    Your on track but you have not reached the point of recognizing the power that works within us. We live a pure spiritual life as a Christian and that limitless power within, grants us the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 14. 37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or...

    Loss of salvation???

    But do you believe from the scripture that someone can fall away? You quoted the following verse. 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. We may be reading the verse above differently. The word, "power", in my understanding is the power...

    Loss of salvation???

    Junior posted the info below. If you're looking for more direct instruction on endurance and not falling away, passages like: Hebrews 3:14 – “For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.” Matthew 24:13 – “But the one who endures to the end...

    Loss of salvation???

    I will let junior deal with this. Chat GPT. ❖ Can a Christian lose their salvation by walking in the flesh? Short Answer: If someone persists in walking in the flesh without repentance, it raises the question of whether they were truly born again to begin with. Key Passages: Romans 8:13 –...

    Loss of salvation???

    Chat GPT can sort this out for you. That's a discerning question, and you're right to consider the context carefully. 1 Corinthians 3:10–15 does primarily deal with how leaders and teachers in the church build upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, who is explicitly called the foundation in...

    Loss of salvation???

    It is hard to believe that you can use 1 Corinthians 3:14-15 to nullify the direct warnings from the Holy Spirit. Your quotation concerns the building of the church on the foundation which Paul laid. Your quotation has nothing to do with the required endurance in the Christian life. I

    Loss of salvation???

    I do not separate the lake of fire from the wrath of God nor from hell itself. Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us. Matthew 10:22...

    Loss of salvation???

    That's always good advice but we need to be mindful and precise when we read the N.T. Near enough is just not good enough when we touch doctrinal points. Your quotation from Romans will no doubt align with an interpretation that ignores the heavy context, within the letter to the Romans...

    Loss of salvation???

    I believe that a person can fall away from the Lord. 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first...

    Honestly Cameron, is that what you really see on Christian Forums? Love and a gentle spirit? I feel like I have entered the twilight zone.

    Understanding God’s election

    Most certainly because that is the church blueprint as Paul declares in 1 Corinthians. 1 Timothy 2:3-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy...

    Understanding God’s election

    You said you read the scripture using the scripture and only seeing the scripture, through the lens of the eternal New Covenant. SOLA SCRIPTURE that is! The scripture states the Lord commands you to seek the higher gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 14). Honestly Rufus; do you seek the...
