Quote (barley @ June 22 2010,10:58)Romans 10:9-10.  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.           For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.           Note what it does not s…[Read more]

kerwin. Quote I see no benefit in giving an example from scripture as you, yourself read scripture and yet do not believe what it says. If you choose not to believe scripture then why would you believe me when I say the same thing. You accuse, but won't show me anywhere what you are accusing me of. It so easy to say “If you choose not to…[Read more]

topical, to use Nicks expression.

Hi karmarie.Quote Hi Barley and Nick, if I understand right , Paul when speaking of “Isreal” is speaking of the “New Isreal” Isreal became all who followed Christ, it was no longer a nation or race. It was Jews and Gentiles, together. Believers in Christ, which is why “all Isreal will be saved” It seems this is a popular teaching among many…[Read more]

Hi again JA. Quote 'Everyone of us will be saved'!This exposes a rock solid fear and fundamental lack of understanding of God, Jesus, Jesus' testimony and Scriptures, to boot! 1Tim.4:9-10… 9 Faithful is the saying and worthy of all welcome10 (for for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour…[Read more]

Hi JA. Quote Did you EVER reply to my question of 'If we are all to be saved, what is the point of doing good?Answer… So why are you doing good, just to be saved? Don't tell me you would choose to do evil if there was no salvation? Blessings, Jerry.

kerwin. You say Quote What you believe and what scripture teaches are plainly two different things and yet you choose to believe what is not true. Your statement would be more truthful if you would give an example of what you think I believe, and quote scripture explaining your reasons. Making such a statement only means your opinion, not the…[Read more]

Hi SF. You say… Quote Those that are drawn chosen by the Father to be drawn to Jesus, are already 'Willing'. That is why they are chosen. Even Judas, even though he also had alterior motives, and this was foreknown by God that it should occur just as He had prophesied. This statement does not agree with scripture, see Eph.2:8-10… 8 For in…[Read more]

Hi kerwin. Thanks for your reply. You say…Quote What did Jesus teach the man who come to him and asked. Did he not teach him that in order to be saved he must actually practice in perfection the law of love your neighbor as God intends you to? You must understand that Jesus was “commissioned” to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel”.…[Read more]

Looking at the various reasons given for obtaining salvation, it is a wonder anyone will be saved. I have yet to see any two perons who agree on what is required for salvation. Is our God a God of confusion? I personally brlieve that God, our “Father,” will save everyone, including Judas, and satan himself. I know this will result in a wave…[Read more]

Hi Gene, You said…Quote I do believe most all here have the fundamentals right , the things that really matter, that Jesus died for our sins and as a result we have a right standing with GOD and HIS GRACE (Gods influencing on the heart) is Working to save Us. IMO I believe you have it right, “all is of God”.God Bless, Jerry.Hi barley, I…[Read more]

No opinions?

This discussion of sin, is it of us or of God? I would like your opinion of scripture Proverbs-16:4…Yahweh has made everything for its own pertinent end, Yea, even the wicked for he day of evil.If God makes the wicked ones, are they condemned, or do they have the power to “choose”?God Bless, Jerry.

Quote (kerwin @ July 03 2010,19:49)Choosenone,What do you believe Jesus meant when he told the Eleven to teach the believers of all nations everything he had commanded them, Matthew 28:19-20?Your fellow student,KerwinHi kerwin. The apostles never went out to all nations. On the contrary, Peter was opposed when he went to the proselyte Cornelius…[Read more]

kerwin says Quote I assure you that the words I hear from you are not the same as I hear from Jesus. Jesus did not teach us to…Hi kerwin, you make a common error, Jesus was a teacher to Israel, not the gentiles, His comission was to Israel and them only. Matt.15:24 …Now He (Jesus), answering, said, “I was not commissioned except for the…[Read more]

Hi EdJ. Quote Someone who corrects should have his or her facts correct also. Hebrew has No sound, No sound and the symbol ש is pronounced “Sh”. Is it not a fact when a Hebrew text is translated into English, we DO have a sound and a sound. Just because the Hebrew language does not use these sounds, does not negate the fact that the tra…[Read more]

EdJ. Looking up all those scriptures you quoted, do not use the term “freewill”. I will quote a few for your information…Quote Lev:22:18: …and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; The correct translation …and for all their voluntary offerings which they may bring near to Yahwey for an…[Read more]

In this presesnt era, God does not see our sins, we have been “justified” by Christ Jesus, He has paid our debt for all mankinds sins, past, present, and future. 2.Cor.5:18-19… 18 Yet all is of God, Who conciliates us to Himself through Christ, and is giving us the dispensation of the conciliation,19 how that God was in Christ, conciliating…[Read more]
