I have been converted for some time now, thanks be to God. Lesson one...salvation occurs in the day of judgement. Remain loving and obedient until then and you will be saved. Thank God for those who care enough about us to leave us so many exhortations to act Godly until the day of judgment. If...

By "bad works" you mean sin...right ? Paul did write that those who walk after the flesh, (sinners), will not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:19-21..."Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred...

No, thank you.

I did try to read it, but being so long, and mostly personal opinion, I didn't know where to start. Pick one portion of it and we can start from there.

What was the most important question that you sought an answer to from your long post ?

Too long for an in depth reply.

One can sin, but won't. Folks that have really come to know God don't walk in the flesh anymore.

James wrote that "A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:8) The back and forth servant is part of the "bi-polar doctrine". Accusations? Do you mean the scriptural "no man can serve two masters" ? (Matt 6:24) So to sin again is "God forbid"den. (Rom 6:15) And..."Know ye not...

That has nothing to do with what you have replied to. I am glad you are finally heeding His leading.

I've never heard God's word described as a generalization before today.. It was written before Jesus lived. I am glad you realize that not all men commit sin. If they could do it before God gave us rebirth from His seed, imagine how possible it is to live without sin now !

I urge you to look at 1 John 3:9-10..."Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither...

If they are still serving sin, Jesus said they hate Him...."No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." (Matt 6:24) I believe Jesus' words over man's accommodations for sin. Can sin illustrate our...

Christians, those who have repented of sin and been washed clean by the blood of Christ, use their moral free agency to the glory of God. More sin indicates they didn't repent of sin to begin with. They were posers from the start. Thank God for the exhortations and admonissions that can keep us...

So...back to the OP. Can a Christian lose their salvation? The answer is no. But that only refers to the real Christians. Plenty of posers out there refer to themselves as Christians, but fall under Paul's Gal 5:19-21 description of those still walking in the "flesh". People who are walking in...

Maybe that is why they use a single dot, (tip of plumb bob), rather than something else, to base their angle from. 90 degrees from any spot on earth will eventually deliver you to outer space.

What is the point of the OP ?

Jesus forgave those who crucified Him, (Luke 23:34), and Stephen forgave those who stoned him, (Acts 7:60) However, all the other sins of those murderers will still be held against them if they don't convert.

It sure is. They are the same thing so neither is "easier". Now, in the NT, the repentant walk in and after the Spirit instead of in and after the flesh. So it is actually easier if one is actually walking in the Spirit. Agreed, and quoted by the apostles in the NT. Yep. The actions of others...

His commandments... They are: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And love your neighbor as you want them to love you. OK. Jesus saw, and illustrated, the end of Law keeping before He even died.

Good. Is your intent to get the members here to pray more ?
