It is settled in my mind.

I believe that there is a balance between the verses on eternal security and those verses that speak of being able to lose one's salvation, in that the verses that speak the latter are intended to produce the fear of the Lord in the heart of the believer; and that if a believer has that for ever fear abiding in him, he will never walk away; and therefore his salvation is for ever; because it is also true (per John 10:27-30) that no one can snatch him out of the Lord's hand.

The primary verses on this are Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv) and Psalms 19:9.

bingo this knowing these principals the debate over eternal security as per arguments is endless. it will never be settled
Is eternal security to be holy for one if it's not even wanted as the person is different than that by himself?

It's not a sin to be yourself if you chose or made yourself not is it a sin to listen to others. But i'd want the kingdom of God. Words of Jesus.... " Don't throw away your riches or kingdom ". "Don't give that which is sacred to dogs".

You can't worship Mammon and God? So if I can't be that bad I'll settle for something else. Maybe the kingdom of God or heaven.

I was the so called " ideal" person for a short time. My bad works outweigh my good. grandparents molested me!
Balancing good and bad works is not the basis of the gospel.
Being abused is hard to cope with. It is difficult to put this into perspective, but many have successfully managed
to do this, so there is always hope.
Does Christ end all?
Christ brings to a close this age and begins a new age.
"Christianity isn't the all end all solution". SG!
Jesus is the guide to the path. How we express the life He gives is up to us. A key to a door once used is the
beginning of the ultimate solution, except it is better expressed as the ultimate opportunity.

If it's some kind of mandate then I can't be that bad, but myself. I repent of my sins because I have to but I will stay in my own zone. Most folks don't even know why I went so far. Because of the Doppler effect. Chain of events, it seemed right. But if I have to I will. I was still pretty good and funny sometimes. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Ok. So it's grace forgiveness and faith?

Thank you it wasn't too pleasant.

Hm... To whom does he kill? Unrepentant sinners or the ungodly?

Well I did mean things ( good) I said about Jesus. I have a question. Does he like or appreciate the youth or only some? Is it a lot or a little?

Ok. I shall try or use that door but I just can't be too bad. I also wonder about God God and the father. But what I expressed about Jesus and God and the father I meant pretty much.

At any rate I got tricked by my neighbor to say I don't pay rent when I do so I got much less food stamps than I was able. Should I love my neighbor? I got this fixed and was able to get more food stamps but Igot a letterr in the mail saying I could get my wages garnished. I don't have very much money and alot of people live in my house. I need my money and my food stamps. What should I do? Jesus says love your neighbor. Should I?

I get judged if I'm too bad but I know I can be forgiven and alot of things like aspects of myself tie in. Being pretty good and normal and cool as well as extraordinary and fun.

I also thought my transferrance of funds went through but they wasn't taking it. You know for revenue recovery. I already paid it off twice. I just have to pay them this time so I would like them to accept the payment.

The ultimate opportunity..... Is hell really a consequence for me? If so I'd prefer heaven.
