Do you even have the foggiest clue what *forgiveness* means? I know what it means.

If Christ died for our sins, took our sins upon Him, and made us righteous before God could you tell me what we will be judged for? Do you believe that Jesus death and on the cross was not good enough? Our salvation is conditional. Jesus guarantees his offer to us. It is up to us to accept it. We have the hope of Paul; but if we do not persevere until the end, we will fall short and will fail.
The three parables in Matthew 25 are illuminating.

your spurning of the Nicene Creed is evidence enough. I couldn't tell you what's in the nicene creed
Weeds cannot tell us what is in Roundup either.
I couldn't care less what's in the nicene creed
Somehow I doubt it.
I don't need any creed other the the words of God in the scriptures...
And the face of God in the mirror...

I see that you are twisting and turning in the wind of your own posts. I posted the entire passage of the Great Commission in Matthew 28. And you said you copied and pasted it right from the Original Greek... That's quite a whopper...
Nope. I posted an excerpt from Strong's which absolutely contradicted just about everything you said in your previous post. Why is it that you get just about everything so boneachingly wrong?
HaHaHa...You guys have to find your biblical truth all in one chapter
We understand that things which are related in certain ways are related in those certain ways but not in others. We also understand that others spend their time creating fantasies and calling them Christian.
That's not the way the Holy Spirit wrote the bible...
Do you have any more of this wisdom? I find it very entertaining.

You guys believe that your salvation is guaranteed by having Jesus pay the price and the limo ride will just pull up to your door. What a neat idea. It is not Christian but neat. Well certainly it's Christian
It is not and never has been.
People have been posting scripture after scripture after scripture showing you just that...
The problem with that statement is that they haven't
Never rode in a Limo...That's going to be fun...
Especially when the final destination is revealed...

We are born in sin; with the Grace of God, we may gain our eternal Salvation, but we Christians throw ourselves on the mercy of Almighty God. We do not arrogantly proclaim our own salvation either on the Internet or in person. We've already gained it
See?
We're sealed
You apparently have no idea what sealing is.
And that is Good News...
Not to we Christians who are trying to bring everyone to the Faith.

Last week I was an Arian heretic, this week I'm a Gnostic? Elements of both keep popping up, dear bb. I wish that we could bring you out of the fogginess of what seems to pass for Christianity in some circles.

But, unlike Pope Peter, I would not take my eyes off Jesus. I KNOW better. Gnostics know. Christians believe.

Awww...don't tell me you skipped Scofield's excellent allegory simply because he's not Catholic did you? I think he made a very important point, one that our Heavenly Father sincerely desires we understand. We are IN Christ, we have been bought with a price - his precious blood, yet you choose to toss it aside in favor of deserving it? Have you missed the parts where he says we DON'T and we CAN'T? You mean where Scofield tells us that the limo ride is irresistible?
How many times and in how many ways must God repeatedly tell you until you will believe him? Here's the good news: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Yes, in Him and not in some construct that someone may put together after gazing fondly into the mirror. The parable of the workers in the vineyard is very illuminating. It is those workers at the end of the day that are rewarded.
So who is being arrogant here? One who falls upon the throne of grace believing and trusting in God's promise that we shall not perish but HAVE eternal life or the one who says they throw themselves on the throne of God's mercy but refuse to accept what his mercy actually gives them?
If you read through the OSAS posts versus the Catholic posts, you will get a very good illustration of what true arrogance is.

You have to be baptized, have to take communion, have to go to confession, have to do penance, have to, have to, have to, and the best any Catholic I've ever met, including myself, can hope for is purgatory. Are you saying that your rejection of Catholicism is based upon convenience and appeal?

So can I as a Christian kill someone and still go to heaven??? Yes...Can I commit adultery and still go to heaven??? Yes...Just the same as I can steal a pencil and go to heaven... Not in an unrepentant state. Do none of the Gospel teachings matter to you guys?

All those poor Catholic men. Their ideal is to be married in a sexless marriage. No doubt you think that my six kids were conceived in a test tube...

English has become the most common language of the world...The only English bible that can be traced back to the time of the Apostles in the area where Jesus taught and folks were first called Christians is the King James Bible...It has been the standard for 400 years...ALL other English speaking bibles since the KJV come from Africa Another failure.
The Venerable Bede is not African...

I live on borrowed time. About thirty days to be exact when the last of the food I can eat drops out of my diet. I would worry, but since you've been here for 72 months...that seems a bit histrionic.

>> Our salvation is conditional. Jesus guarantees his offer to us. It is up to us to accept it. We have the hope of Paul; but if we do not persevere until the end, we will fall short and will fail.<<
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44
The Greek word translated draw is helkuo which means to drag (literally or figuratively).
Helkuo: to draw, drag off http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1670
The same word is used in other verses.
In John 21:6 where they are pulling a heavy net full of fish.
In John 8:10 where Peter is drawing his sword.
In Acts 16:19 where Paul and Silas being dragged into the marketplace before the rulers.
Was it up to the fish being dragged in, or the sword? How about Paul and Silas? Was it up to them? Knowing what the words mean is rather illuminating I would say.
To: MarkBsnr
The AV was a notable and useful translation but even it's translators recognized it had shortcomings that they or future scholars should correct as the noes from the translators say.
That said the idea that this translation “can be be traced back....” etc., etc., is ludicrous. And as for added words, few translations have as many spurious texts included as the AV.
I know many of the KJV only people think it fell from heaven and that Jesus spoke a quaint form of English but surely something has been learned from the many hundreds of manuscripts found since 1611!
