He quotes, "see that no one falls short of the grace of God", but responds with a comment re falling from grace. Subtle changes like this can created tangles.
Much love!
Who ELSE was “ subtle” in the Bible? Hmmmmmm......

I'm not sure I understand this. And I think it's where @marks and @Blood Bought 1953 have trouble, too. Perhaps it's just a figure of speech? :)
What a woman needs to fully trust is that God forgives her sins through the Sacrifice and Ministry of Jesus Christ! That is the trusting that determines her fate now and at the return of Christ.
As long as you hold firmly to the gospel word, in faith, God will work to the day of your death to bring you to maturity according to the stature of Christ. Don't do like BB does and leave part of my argument out.
No must...already happened. It happened 2000 years ago. Are you saying that you have never seen scriptures that tell Christians to be good? And if you haven't....how many do you want?

Your reading comprehension is being blocked by your own goal and your defense of doctrine.
Trying so hard to be good by my own strength was misery. I gave up and returned to trust and then saw great strides.
No, I mean, who are the teachers? :)
Hyper Grace theology is what teaches that.
Like us, they were Saved by the Blood Of The Lamb
That might be a tradition but the word cross does not appear in the Old Testament.lambs Blood put on their doors, in the shape of a cross,
Those today that are Saved by the Blood of Jesus are going to be tested to see if they believe that God will keep His Word....If you do not REST in Paul’s Gospel
Your Christian existence will be a beggarly one , full of anxiety and lack of assurance that leads to a life of No real peace....Your Christian life will be a Wilderness one....bereft Of blessings.....no real Joy....
Those that trust God and Rest in His Gospel Of Pure Grace That actually BELIEVE that His Son “ Died for your Sins” and know that they are Eternally Secure because of what He did “ FOR” us, and therefore have no need to ADD to the Gospel
If , as the Gospel proclaims, Jesus died for ALL of your sins if you believe He did it for YOU....what sins remain that you could be condemned for? None. Believe the Gospel and get your Rest—- don’t die a Spiritual Wilderness Death.....
It’s-possible to be “ Saved” yet miserable, or you can be “ Saved” and get All Of God’s blessings—- here on Earth....( and get bigger and better “ Crowns” in Heaven).... it’s a win- win....don't miss out by your unbelief in God's Promises.... God bless....
You know you really need to stop. My patience is wearing thin with you. I have little respect for you. You're an arrogant and overbearing loudmouth.
They could have gone back to Egypt to remind themselves how they were “ Saved by the Blood”, the Cross- Shaped BloodStains we’re still there....they were a defeated, miserable lot.....but they were STILL Saved by that Blood.....just like Grace- Haters of today might still be Saved if they ever put their Faith in the Blood Of The Lamb....
You knew Ghandi's heart? :)
First off Paul does not have a Gospel
Lol.....you Bible ignorance is showing....God is going to judge you by “ MY” ( Paul Speaking about Himself) GOSPEL.....The Gospel That Saves If merely believed, Found In 1 Cor15:1-4 was given to Paul personally by Jesus Christ.....several times Paul referred to that Gospel as “ My” Gospel.....The Bible warns us to be good Students Of The Word so we would not have to stand ashamed when guys like me who actually know the Bible come along....
Maybe one day they will make a Bible just for OSAS.
We already have millions of them! Learn how to “ Rightly Divide” , and the scales could fall off of your eyes—— perhaps Ferris too!
Do you have an attention span disorder. See notes # 1, 2, and 3. Buuuuut number three...LOL Christ says that not doing good can get you to hell. Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”... Let me help you there with the reading comprehension of this, Christ....He is God, in case you did not catch on to that....says that those that did not do good for others will go away into eternal punishment...that maybe hard for you to comprehend but...that means hell fire eternal. Then Christ...ya know the Son of God, He says that the righteous will go on to eternal life....now in case if you don't know it, that is heaven. And the righteous, in this example were those that did good for others.....I know the parable of the Sheep and Goats is a long read...but try to focus. Maybe you are getting Christ mixed up with Buddha, but no that is incorrect.
Now if you need any more help understanding scriptures, let me know. Below I picked a short one so it would not task your ability to read or go past your attention span.
Hebrews 13:16
And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
We are discussing theology and Christians beliefs. This particular topic can ruin lives and lead people to hell so it gets serious.
1..No one is saying that being good and doing good has anything do with being initially saved, everyone agrees that, that is through Christ.
2..No one here is saying that being good and doing good justifies us, it all about the biblical requirement to be obedience to Christ.
3..No one is saying that good deeds is what gets you to heaven.
4..I am saying that being good and doing good is what Christians are repeatedly told to do. Being good and doing good is obedience to Christ. I mean really, what is the alternative that is being proposed here by some.
5..I am saying that sinful lifestyles can lead to hell...whether they believe in Christ or not.
6..I am not saying that sinful lifestyles cannot be forgiven. Even towards the end someone that has committed the worst of horrible sins or a sinful lifestyle can repent and be forgiven. That is all depends on sincerity and Christ will know the intentions and truths of the heart and will judge according. But that is Christ's choice to send that Christian to heaven or hell. I do contend that a change of heart at the last minute and expecting forgiveness is very risky, because, could someone like Hitler or serial killers change their character in that last few moments of their life? Not saying I know, but I would debate it.
7..I am saying that repentance is required to be initially saved. That repentance is not only acknowledging that you have sinned but a commitment to obey and be good and do good....the best you can. Salvation was not designed for perfection. Then after one is saved and commits sins, that repentance is required to get those sins forgiven. Again a commitment not to keep doing the same sin over and over again. It is not wrong for Christ to expect us to learn from our mistakes...we maybe slow learners but...
8..No one here is saying that you have to be perfect to go to heaven.
9..Then again, heaven is not going to be full of evildoers.
10..No one is saying that being good and doing good is salvation. It is obedience to Christ.
11..And the Bible says over and over again that we should obey Christ and our deeds will be judged, come Judgment Day.
12..Alternatively sins can lead to hell, particularly lifestyle sins because you cannot repent for something you intend to do or even continue to do. You cannot play Christ for a fool. You cannot con Christ, he know the heart and the intent.
13..I do contend that your average Christian will show up on Judgment Day and pass with flying colors.
14..In regard to sins, what is being discussed here is mostly lifestyle sins.
15..No one is saying that there is a biblical requirement to ask forgiveness for every sin or to remember every sin. Just ask forgiveness in one of your daily prayers.
No...I am thinking the scriptures will do for now.
Learn to read the Bible with out cherry picking with the intent to support sin.
Your Hodge Podge Of Religious Muck is too silly to debate.
I don’t have the computer ink to write a set of encyclopedias that would be necessary to correct your Erroneous Hog Wash
who on Earth Taught you this bunk?
