Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 11 2008,07:44)Hi, Why would the writer of Hebrews 4 plead that we try to enter the REST if we never had to obey?Good Point

Quote (chosenone @ July 11 2008,07:19)Hi dk.    Just a quick reply, I find myself getting too involved in these debates, although I do find them interesting, hearing the various opinions.You say, “what is all this judgement talk about?”  Judgement is not whether 'guilty or not guilty', it is obvious that we are “all” guilty. The judgement is th…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ July 11 2008,07:08)Hi dk.     There is only one “Image of the invisible God”.  Do you really think we are like Him (Jesus) now?  Of course not, but we will be when God has pefected us, and we will be 'joint heirs with Christ'.  Then we will be “in the image of God”.Blessings.I agree..but we reflect God's qualities now.…[Read more]

And if you truly understood the meaning of (GRACE) then know the process by which God will save ALL. For we are (SAVED) by GRACE and that (NOT) of yourself, it is a (GIFT) of GOD. But your theology…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 11 2008,06:34)DK…..your wrong in my opinion, when we come to the image of God we will mirror Him and reflect Him the exact way Jesus does, we will also be the expressed image of God just like Him, God is creating us into that image, it is a process , Jesus is the first to achieve it and therefore He is the expressed…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 10 2008,15:26)Hi, One of the problems is that once men are saved they cannot be brought back to repentance if the wander from the path of truth.Hebrews 6:6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.you forget one thing…[Read more]
