Yes, it would. It's hard to imagine but God's grace is even sufficient for crazed mass murderer like Adolf Hitler. Once saved, we become children of God, and he disciplines us as his children. Most Christians, including myself, recognize almost immediately when we are being disciplined...

HOwever, from earlier this week; I like how in John 10:28, Jesus said "I give them eternal life and they shall never perish..". Notice how Jesus doesn't go on to say "except if....unless....etc." If we could lose our salvation, don't you think our lord would have put a ginormous disclaimer...

No it doesn't. As the parable of the sower goes on to say there are those who accept Christ, persevere, are tested and show fruit and prove that they have roots. Security is not for someone who raised their hands at church or even walked up an aisle. security is for those who have abided...

I like how in John 10:28, Jesus said "I give them eternal life and they shall never perish..". Notice how Jesus doesn't go on to say "except if....unless....etc." If we could lose our salvation, don't you think our lord would have put a ginormous disclaimer with that statement?

Okay, so I'll ask again....At what point are you not Christian enough, or not following Jesus enough, that you can lose your salvation? Are there any verses in the bible that tell us where we need to be at to retain our salvation? Furthermore, if there isn't a way to "measure" how saved we are...

Just curious......At what point are you not Christian enough, or not following Jesus enough, that you can lose your salvation? Are there any verses in the bible that tell us where we need to be at to retain our salvation?

I also think that it is the American culture of "excess" that has given alcohol a bad name here, also. A much as I love the USA, the excessive culture is our own worst enemy in a lot of ways. The "blanks" can be: -2 beers/10 beers -a hamburger/a double-meat, cheese, and bacon burger. -a...

I saw some McV's milk chocolate covered biscuits in a store this weekend, on the packaging it said "special 59p!" (about $1) How much was it marked for in the store? $3.60! Highway robbery. :mad:

That's kind of what I thought. The biggest problem with drinking in the US is the preception by lost people. Over here, if a Christian was seen drinking a beer at a resturant by a non-christian who doesn't drink, this may be a stumbing block for the Christian. However, because everyone (over...

I know that in the US, especially in the south, drinking alcohol is heavily debated. However, alcohol is viewed much differently here than Europe. My wife (who is from the UK but not a christian) has wine occasionally with dinner or, on occasions, she'll have a Guinness with Pizza. Is it like...

You should try the new Reece's White Chocolate PeanutButter cups and the White Chocolate KitKats.... Phoar!

Of course, grape juice isn't in the Bible.

A Bridge too Far Enemy at the Gate

Why use wine and not grape juice?
