Most of the time the word "slave" is used in the Bible it is referring to "work". The literal meaning of the word slave means to work. In its original meaning, it had nothing to do with owning someone.

I see nothing wrong with teaching the Theory of Evolution so long as it is taught as a "theory" and taught why it is the theory it is. And also be able to teach creation as well. Maybe not as fact, but explain what some believe. I taught science for several years and I made sure that kids...

First of all, the "theory of evolution" is a theory. Which means it has not been proven. It does not say that there was no Adam and Eve, the original sin, nor especially the coming of Jesus. It is possible that some of the theory is true but it does NOT disprove God or Jesus.

If you do not get saved, you will not be going to heaven. How can any Christian not understand that? Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven . . .

This person does not exist.

Right. And no one who gets saved does. That's part of getting saved.

Most who say that OSAS is false.

I think part of the problem here is that some have a confusion of what being a Christian means. It doesn't necessarily mean being saved. There are three meanings to the word Christian. First, being a Christian means believing that Jesus is the Son of God. The second is that you have accepted Him...

You are wrong. I do get it. I have eveon said it many times. But, yes, we do sin after we are saved. None of us go without sinning. But as Christians, we don't sin because we just want to go out and sin all the time. That's the difference. Just because we sin doesn't make us no longer a Christian.

Why would I admit that and it not be true? OSAS is a true doctrine. My point was that there is no one who has been saved and lost his salvation. There are people who thought they were saved and weren't. But, that doesn't mean they lost their salvation.

Yes, I can see what you are saying now.

Yes it is! I mean, you don't have to say a specific prayer or you don't have to walk the aisle. But it IS a singular moment of time when you accept God's calling to be saved.

There's the most important thing you said in this whole thing. He never had to become your son again. If we become a child of God, we are always a child of God, meaning a Christian, or meaning saved. We are all going to sin. We never stop sinning. Bit we also never stop being a child of...

Eh, the only ones who have responded were the ones who said they'd like to hear an answer also.

Having never been saved.

Since I have asked this twice and no one has answered, I'm assuming that everyone who says that OSAS is false believes they have lived a perfect life since becoming a Christian.

Which means they were never saved to start with. So, you can not say that OSAS is false. In order for it to even be a question, you have to have the "Once saved" part.

Sure they can. But if they are rejected, you skip the first part of the question of "Once saved". The question here asked if you are "Once save", "are you always saved?" The first part has to be true before the second part can be answered. Not everyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God...

With just two or three verses like this I don't see how anyone can continue to argue any of this. They want to point out scriptures where Jesus or Paul are talking about the people who have never been saved going to hell and applying it to Christians. It just doesn't work. So, once saved always...

So, salvation is not a gift of God??
