After I got born again, the Lord has empowered me by His Spirit to abide in Him... salvation is only applicable to those that abide IN Christ according to what Jesus taught in John 15.
What you write to others gives evidence to me that you are not walking in the Spirit. I'm not going to say you are or are not, only, what I see is expressing to me that you are not.

Much love!

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

Zechariah 4:6
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts
lol..

So if God has empowered you to abide. why would you ever fear that you would stop abiding?

Are you sinless?

I am glad I am not an American having to make this choice. My dislike of the man stems from his whole demeanour ans what I consider to be arrogance. Enough said. End of my involvement in this thread. May the best candidate win the election.
Sometimes I wish I wasnt as well! lol but it is how it is. He can be arrogant -no doubt- he needs Christ. All that we can be certain of is their policies. The left's policies are awful for the nation & not to mention utterly godless.
We simplly can not say that about Trump's policies. People get so interested in his personality but we need to look at the fruits. In this case, fruits is what he does for the nation- his policies. There is no comparison.
Dont get upset pearl! It's not your fault. the media is bought and paid for.

If we look, Abraham and David were not the greatest characters. they had their moments, but they had their deep sins also..

If we are looking for a perfect person to lead us, we will never find it, much like trying to find the perfect church.

Those that adhere to false doctrines not taught tin God's Word wouldn't know the Holy Spirit if He walked in to their house with a red hat on! disagree.gif

I'm not concerned for me... others need to be warned.

God's Word teaches that in the end times there will be much false doctrine and OSAS turns the grace of God in to lawlessness.

Churches / preachers that espouse OSAS also teach people that all their future sins have already been forgiven and since people believe we see many who claim to be christian walking after the flesh living in sin.

And the OSAS people continually tell them that's OK they are saved anyway.

Of course they'll claim that they do not condones sin but turn right around and teach one still goes to Heaven even if they like like the devil... they do this because they are speaking in behalf of the devil.

Are you sinless?

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. You appear to have appointed yourself a false accuser of the brethren. Now, who does that remind us of?

Much love!

Which governments are not utterly godless today? Which societies are not utterly godless? Godless people are given the choice so it's inevitable that governments are godless.

I was referring to policies. Some are godless. some are good.
Show me a good policy put out by the left in the last decade?

I hear all the popular preachers teaching that even if one lives in sin they are still saved.

They got their doctrine from the devil. Enjoy the fruits of darkness.

Paul told the slave, if given the opportunity to gain your freedom, use it. This tells me the principle. So I have a vote, and I intend to use it to procure as much freedom as possible, which means that I'm voting Donald J. Trump for President, just like last time. And I believe this will also be the best way to help the greatest number of people, even benefitting those who live in other countries, like Israel, for instance.

Neither Biden nor Harris are willing to give Netanyahu the time of day, but he and President Trump are meeting.

Much love!

Look to yourself, better still! Given what you've been saying, you have an insurmountable problem!

Yeah, the Truth of the whole counsel of God is always a problem for those that only accept and believe portions of God's Word. Thanks for sharing.

They claim things to be true of themselves, but go on to show by their words and how they are towards others that their claims are not true.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. How many take this to heart, and hear their own words, and go to God for help with that heart condition?

Much love!

We see things differently this side of the Atlantic but yes I agree America is in trouble whichever of these two men are elected.
Whichever of these two men are elected?
They represent different ideals.
Most Europeans don't really understand politics in the US because it's so different.

London is a mess.
Doesn't it make a difference who the mayor is?
Or the PM?

We can stand rock solid with Christian beliefs. In this day and age that could well place us in danger. Danger that forbids us from spreading the word and saving lost souls. That sacrifice would be pointless. The Bible gives us an escape. If the enemy has a hold against Christian beliefs…..knock the dust from our feet as we go to the next test.

We are not commanded to commit suicide.

Donald Trump moves to correct the sinful nature of those who sold their souls. We can’t save everyone.

However, those who sit idle in church, not voting, not moving to correct….accomplish nothing and age nothing but lukewarm water.
