To: Mark17
Yes, make sure your name is written in the book of life. Is your name there? I know mine is.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Thanks for the effort to participate, but...no; this isn't the way to perform understandable Bible citations. But you've been told that many times before.

It is usually somewhat of a mystery why you quote random Scripture verses in response to non-Catholic Christians' statements on FR without giving the readers a hint of an idea why or what point(s) you wish to make. But you've been told that many times before.

Yet, as a registered FReeper in good standing, it is your right, as it is mine, to post practically anything whatever whenever, whether beneficial to anyone or not.

Still, cannot you locate a darker blue font for your random Scripture postings as requested many times by your fellow FReepers?

(A million wrongs don't make a Catholic right.)

Yes, make sure your name is written in the book of life. Is your name there? I know mine is.

Since you said nothing, I had to quote myself again. I don't know if your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life or not, but if not, you need to get it together. You don't want to be in the middle of the Great White Throne, getting your death sentence. You want to be on the side, when the men of Ninevah and the Queen of Sheba rise in judgment and condemn them. So, if your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, then do something about it bro.

Yeah. The passage to the saved Jews in the Diaspora, it's about progressive growth in sanctification, subsequent to the initial salvation and justification based on faith in Jesus and His promises alone, the KEY without which the door to sanctification is blocked, as for the messenger of the church at Sardis, for all the Sardinians to know.

I'm glad hat you believe in salvation by faith alone, as these passages affirm.
