Sometimes I leave the TV off and just sit quietly reading His Word to remind myself of how Great He really is. Reading the promises God made and actually seeing down through history those promises being fulfilled. Only about half the prophesies of God have been fulfilled, with the other half...

We should praise the Lord our God for not only what He has done for us, but also for who He is. He is the Almighty, the Great I Am. He has revealed to us in part who He is to save us from our sins, and there is much more for us to learn of Him in the future.

Carl Boberg, 1886 Verse 1 O Lord my God When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout The universe displayed! Chorus Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, How great...

How could Mr. Gadsby have such a extraordinary understanding of what Christ has done for us, but yet fail to see that all men are offered this redemption in Christ? Something went terribly wrong!

@JesusFan Hopefully this will help you to understand. God saves man body, soul and spirit. If man holds to the end his faith in Christ, his body goes to the grave, the soul and spirit go to be with Him by the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit through faith. The gift of the indwelling Holy...

I don't feel like beating my head against a brick wall today, Van.

Yes sir, they most certainly did, they fell from their standing in God's grace. But Paul was there, and there is always someone there provided by God, to show them their error.

Yep, that is exactly what Calvinism teaches, you can't lose your salvation, they own this doctrine. The Holy Spirit is your down payment on your salvation until the resurrection. Eph. 1:13-14 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in...

Was the author of Hebrews "under the law" when he said this? Heb. 3:14 "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" What is the "beginning of our confidence" with Christ? It's our confession of faith! We will not be made partakers...

I have a tendency to upset folks on BB, and if I get started on following the Kingdom of God in Scripture the world here would turn upside down. I'm going to release a bit of it in Part 4 Dispensationalism, when I can get to it!

Well, that was not my focus, it seems to be your focus. I think I mentioned my purpose in the OP.

Do you see the "remitting and retaining" of sin as the disciples, or any believer for that matter, after witnessing and someone accepts the Lord as their Saviour, having the authority by Christ to tell the new covert their sins have been forgiven (remitted)? On the other hand, the "retaining"...

Maybe you've noticed in Covenant Theology the fulfilled prophecies follow a literal interpretation, but when it comes to the unfulfilled prophecies a different approach is taken. They switch their method to an allegorical reading for no reason at all, other than to make the Church to be Israel...

My wonderful KJV also capitalizes Spirit, and I agree He was led by the Holy Spirit. In 3:16-17 we have Christ being baptized, The Holy Spirit descending, and the Father speaking. The Trinity!

And God said the righteous man can turn from it, and die in his sins. We agree on almost all the doctrines found in Scripture, EG, Let's not let this come between us. I totally agree we have eternal security, as long as we exhibit faith to the end.

Well EG, what got you saved is what keeps you saved, that's our faith in the finished work of Christ. That can be lost, God Himself said so, if you will accept what He has said. Of course you can believe whatever you like. Ezekiel 18:21-24 "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that...

We don't ;have to see these things identically, it matters but we don't have to push it. There will be no unity on these boards, you know that as well as I. No need for us to push it and create a division. But at the same time state what we believe. LOL, you're picking a fight, Brother...

Ok, I'm sorry but we disagree. Paul expresses that he marvels they have so soon removed themselves from Him unto another Gospel. They can't remove themselves from something they were never a part of. But I say again, let every man decide for himself, let your heart be your guide.

Paul plainly said, "You have fallen from Grace." Let us all decide for ourselves what he meant. No need to argue among ourselves, the OP speaks for itself.

When the apostle Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatian Church, we see a very angry Paul. He said things that would get our accounts deleted on BB, and he said them by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Of course that doesn't mean we have the permission to say these things to one another. His...
