I take back saying I believe one can lose salvation. Ignore this thread.

I have to go with the Battle Hymn of the Republic. It has the requisite amount of violence and praise for my tastes.

Lol. He sounds like a good kid. When I was younger, I used to throw tantrum over really really good independant pizzerias.

Which could mean he foreknew our existence, meaning that if life began at birth, he probably would not have known as a life an aborted child. I can't prove the answer one way or another, but that does not prove that life begins at conception.

2 comments. The first comment is that your son must not have the best taste in food yet if he's willing to make such a deal over Papa Johns of all places. From what I've seen, a lot of kids, even if you let them get away with stuff when they're younger, if they have the word of God or just...

Unless one of us does a lot of holy spirit inspried intense bible research, I fear you may be right. There is nothing really too conclusive obviously.

See that's part of what I'm thinking. I think God would likely prevent such a situation from ever occuring. Greetings as well.

Well, of course I don't just believe because of these signs. The fact is that for those who already believe there are useful supernatural abilities available as the scripture says, and of course one must do these in the right context. Signs like these can also be a good stepping stone for...

This is kind of like a survey. This discussion is so interesting. I'll start. My study of the bible has shown me that there are three methods of salvation: faith, love (or works), and lineage. The first is rather well-known. Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord...

Reading the bible has persuaded me to the point of view that one can be saved (among other reasons) for simply believing in Christ that he died for our sins and was the son of God, etc, as per Romans 10:9 and 1 John 5:1, 4 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt...

Fascinating. What's the chapter and verse in Genesis, where it discusses this?

What's the verse where it indicates we can lose salvation? This is a question I've been researching.

That's very convincing. I'd like to see how you respond to this scriptural counter-argument that utilizes Genesis 2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Is not there a difference between...

The word channel is probably incorrect on my part then. I wanted to emphasis that it is not our mortal power but the power of the holy spirit given to us by God.

That's too bad. You should pray either for some likeminded singles to come along, for some of your married friends to reconnect with you, or for yourself to find a nice man, so you can become a married snob too.

That's the science of it. It's a fact that identical twins begin as one ovum that at some point after conception splits in two.

I have no stake in the debate. Those are very good points you brought up. But lets look at Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." God here at the...

When it comes to the whole pro-choice, pro-life debate, my views on that are based first on what is established by scripture. I pretty much will believe what scripture has me believe and use that as deductive reasoning. I may not have done enough research, but to my knowledge, this is what...

I think this is just referring to the apocalypse, whenever that would occur. I agree with the OP, though. Protestants and Catholics should agree that key kernels that really matter and try to spread those to everyone.

Let them have their fun. This sounds a bit unscriptural to me, though. ;)
