Bill is constantly talking about Eternal Security, (Once Saved, Always Saved). He says he wants to reach the people on this forum that read but never post. If there is any of those people, I hope they see Bill for what he really is. He is such a stumbling block to Christians/non-Christians alike. There is places in the Bible that indicate you can be saved but lost again. The parable of the sower speaks of people that, for various reasons, hear the gospel and accept it as truth but "fall...

Slavery has been around a long time. The Israelites were slaves so what’s new?. Christianity this time does not allow it. In an atheist society all bets are off.

Re: When is someone going to stop this church?
They believe WHAT in their hearts, GoFish? Not the words of Christ - thus the term CHRISTian. NO, they most certainly are not Christians, a fact that will be all too clear when they hear "Depart from me, I knew you not" one day. They don't even comprehend the term they use to define themselves. I am sick to death of people claiming to be something they are not. Why claim to be something you don't agree with or believe in? That's just pointless, a complete waste of time and serves no purpose.

Hi Albert, Before Jesus Christ came to earth as the Incarnate God, both believers and non-believers went into Hades. However, believers went into the side of Hades called Abraham's Bosom or Paradise. Non-believers went to the side of Hades called Torment. Luke 16:22-23, "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's Bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in Torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom."...

Re: "Once Saved, Always Saved" -- Really?
Nope, Once saved always saved is contrary to the Gospel- it makes the people who believe it believe they are protected from sin, but, we all have free will. So the "saved" is free to sin just as much as the next guy. This is an age-old debate- I highly doubt that you will convince anyone to "switch camps". I am a Christian, solid in my beliefs. However I cannot tell you that tomorrow I may not sin gravely, and fall out of a state of grace. It might happen. Probably not, because I have a 12...

We could say our Salvation prayer, or whatever it is called (with all due respect, please- i just don't know it" and accept Jesus as our Saviour. But then we could, years down the road, reject Him. We could fall from grace- in sin, in our hearts, in our compassion, etc. My best example is this; Like He says "Depart from...

That is contrary to the overwhelming Christian consensus. I was always taught that once you are saved, you are saved.
