Im an ENTJ I believe....huh....the FIRST "E" in here!!! BOOYAH! :bow::blush:

I agree with you Ted. When I mentioned right and wrong I meant in a moral and God-based way. Right and wrong are merely laws that can be conformed by man to social acceptance. Biblical morality and God's Word is what we should strive to live by and teach our kids. The reference to spare the...

He was speaking of their immaturity and their need to build their faith, not of their lack of faith to believe that He was God. We all are "little-faiths". Can you tell a mountain move there and it does? If not, "oh you of little faith". For if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you...

I think your not seeing what I'm trying to convey, or, the definition of "fall away" is not clear. When Paul talks about falling away in Hebrews, he talks about those who will be deceived and leave the truth for a lie, a deliberate choice. Not one who still believes in the gospel message but out...

I will tread lightly with this friend. I do agree with others that no matter what you do, Christ died for you. "He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" "He wishes none to perish" God loves you. He hates sin. I sin. You sin. We all sin. The difference God makes...

I do agree with you. We should "make the most of every opportunity to give an answer for the hope that you have." 1 Peter And I try to do this as much as possible though I'm sure as you stated there are those times that I have let it slip by. But that is the case everywhere. Christians in other...

All of these are true points! :thumbsup: I would like to expound on this. Bear with me because I'm feeling very philosophical and may be very random! :idea: Nothing happens that isn't allowed. As with God allowing things to happen here on earth, we too allow things to happen. This is...

On a regular basis, I think about brothers and sisters spreading the Word around the globe. Then I start to think...what happened to OUR country?? We have become so self righteous it's sickening! We concentrate on sending people overseas to other countries to spread God's Word...but we are just...

Oh yes gotta love Indy!! lol But I think there is a lot of presupposition that can take place with this topic. It's good to share thoughts and stimulate different perspectives but I DO know I don't think we can put an affirmative "this is why" answer.

I never proposed it wasn't eternal. Those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior are saved. If you continue to hold to that faith of the promise God has made then it remains. It is eternal. For, when you stand before the Judgment seat and you have kept the faith, then eternal life with God...

What good is repentance if once I'm saved I cant lose salvation? That denotes freedom to do what I wish. I can't lose it, therefore. why fret? Peter those who have turned from righteousness: If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are...

I also wanted to put these verses in here as well Mattimuck, just to help :) The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1Tim 4 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving...

But it is. Let's look at the verse again. "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit...and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance." How can you share in the Holy Spirit and continue to...

:confused: I'm confused...what didn't make sense? I thought the purpose of this thread was to discuss views on how some ppl love Satan? I was merely pointing out that in the Scriptures the tie between living in darkness and loving the world correlate with being under the power of Satan...

What verse are you referring to? I agree with this. Yes. He got frustrated at their obstinate and stubborn denial of Him. the whole crowd mind you. But where does He say that was a sin? He is simply questioning where there faith in Him was. Still no sign of it being sinful...

Hang on....where are you getting this information toolite? I find no biblical backing for your claims or statements or ideals. This sounds like Catholicism doctrine to me. Where does it say we have to work our way into the "Light", whatever that may be? And where does it say those who have...

I agree it can be done. That is a blessing for you! But I think in this individuals mind he is fighting with this idea or possibility. I think if he was of sound decision then possibly it could work. But with his unstable thinking process I wouldn't recommend it. Would you agree?

Could you run through that "ism" and bigger words again? :confused: JK you made my mind twist there for a sec :sorry: Felt like I was reading a doctoral thesis ^_^

BTW...how do you multi quote? I could reference things so much better!

This is a good question MattiMuck...one that I would like to answer. :clap: We tend to think in terms of our human nature. Let's say I wanted to give my best friend a gift. It was something he requested for his birthday, but was very costly to me. So I give it to him and he seems to enjoy it...
