Evidence for God from Science

Those are all nice buzzwords but the fact remains until someone dies no one, including themselves, will know that their faith was a genuine faith because there is always the possibility they can reject that faith they believed was genuine and, by your definition, will have proven they had no eterna...

-__- Why are you asking this? We are talking about possibilities of persons, persons who say themselves that they are apostate. I had read Byblos' last comments to you, and thought about what he was asking about, and then wrote my comments. I already said believers are assured of salvation. People ...

Again, see Matthew 25:14-30 and how the servant given one talent that did nothing with it but hid it and was thrown out "into the darkness, where there will be weaping and gnashing of teeth." First, we cannot build doctrines on parables which are only illustrations. Second, to use this pa...

CSLL When commentators describe salvation as a "process", they are referring to the 3 phases of salvation. The moment a person trusts Christ as Saviour, he is saved from the penalty of sin. The rest of life on earth the person experience the process of being saved from the power of sin in ...

Given that you believe it is possible a faith can turn out to be false faith, however genuine it might seem at the time, can you honestly say one can have absolute assurance? I mean I can ask you personally the question: you said you already have eternal life. Can you be absolutely sure 10, 15, 20 ...

But the question is not whether or not a true believer will stop believing. The question is whether or not one can have absolute assurance, considering it is possible for one's belief to be proven to be no belief at all, and what the implications are. Yes, a person can know whom he has believed and...

In other words, you don't want to answer or deal with the implications. Fair enough, thank you. Byblos, It is not that I don't want to answer. I do want you to look at the Scriptures I quoted, understand what they mean and draw some conclusions from them. If you still don't see it, I will explain i...

Truthman, Consider the following verses in Romans 8:22,23,24,25 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption...

Yes, I have eternal life. Forever and ever, .

Then if it is eternal, there is absolutely no way for it to end. If you could do something to make it end, and then go to hell, it would not be eternal.

(So many questions, so little time, sigh.)

According to God's word in the verses listed above, you must be able to say , "I HAVE eternal life" 1 John 5:13 Now that you have been born of God and have eternal life, there is absolutely no way you can be unborn of God and lose eternal life, because if you could, then you don't have et...

Truthman, I understand your argument, and there is no question that our Heavenly Father wishes us to have eternal life. I do wonder, however, what you do with Scriptures like Heb 6:4,5,6.? Please see the last couple of pages on the discussion of the topic "Do Christians Apologize". The Sc...

Hey Truthman, what about Mark 3:29 and Luke 12:10 ? I would like to get your opinion on these two scriptures about blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Are these not warnings? Now, I will answer your question. Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prin...

Sinner... truthman wrote: Quick question: Do you HAVE eternal life today? I believe I have been made right before GOD, or righteous. If not for the blood of Christ Jesus, I would not be justified. I believe he (Jesus) was sent by GOD to die for our sins. He (Jesus) was raised from the grave, and now...

I find it VERY interesting. I am sure I too would disagree with his theology, but it sounds like his physics are along the same line as what I've been thinking.

I think the Eskimo nebula is even better, but I can't get it to paste in here
