    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    He could've remained in denial, or not. We can remain in our sins, or not.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    It doesn't alter the fact that He does so, or the fact that people can deceive themselves. And this is why it's quite possible to encounter, as I have, church people including pastors claiming to be Spirit-filled who became embroiled in grave sin.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    It means they should question themselves-and what they "know", to always make sure who they're listening to. And then good fruit is the surest support for that knowledge.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    And yet Scripture also affirms that there will be those who think they're His...but are not.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    And we'll know for sure who they-the good soil- are in the next life.

    Pope Leo XIV meets Fr. James Martin at the Vatican

    Either way the LGBTQ issue isn't going away any sooner than AI, for example, and the Church needs to address both directly for no other reason than because they involve and impact humans who are always worthy of dignity and love. And I believe those values will continue to be at the forefront of...

    What do you think of this lengthy FB post I found?

    Yep. Some services are entertainment and glorification of man, not worship of God.

    Another view on Jesus.

    The good news, rooted uniquely in Christianity, is that God, the maker and sustainer of all that exists, is love. Goodness and love lie at the foundation of the universe, IOW, and for us to be healthy, happy, whole and just we must be aligned with that goodness, with that love. And that is God's...

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    We’re not comparing the same things tho. God told Adam His will, didn’t hardened Adam’s heart, and God’s will was not done. God conveyed His will to Pharaoh, and His will was done-even if it took some more doing in the process and even if God (and Pharoah) delayed it for a while for whatever...

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    Just me. I still strugge with sin IOW, And sin is to continue to be prideful, covetous, etc, in some way or another, still challenged to value or be attracted to lesser, created things above God at times. This really means that I'm not perfected in love which means that the bond between myself...

    Yes, that’s as far as you can know.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    They are different levels of willingness-and that's about as as far as we can know.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    Alright, and even if I agree that Paul has this certain knowledge about them individually, unless we know then the concept of OSAS is rendered a sort of worthless-and academic-point. I mean, to say that the elect are saved is redundant; it's to say that the saved are saved. To be able to...

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    But you were using Paul to support the idea that we can know.

    Here’s the No. 1 fallacy on eternal security

    Its kind of simple. If Paul, a mere man, can know and predict with 100% certainty who will persevere to the end, then I'd think anyone with "saving faith" should be able to do so. as well.
