If you have personally believed that Jesus Christ is God and that he has died for our sins on the cross, then buried and resurrected. ( 1 Corinthians 15: 1-5)And you trust in him ALONE for your salvation, not of any of your works. You are saved no matter what. ( Ephesians 2:8-9)
And once you are saved, you cannot lose your salvation no matter what you do!
I am not well versed enough to explain in detail the scripture proofs for OSAS. So I recommend checking out the RealBibleBelievers YouTube Channel and website. There are multiple in-depth resources for you to study.
I'm praying for you Brother Robert. For a while, I too was deceived into believing that my homosexual attractions are A-ok because God "made me this way". I had no idea how wrong I was, but praise the Lord for his patience and faithfulness. For he has not forsaken me, and he has eventually led me to the truth and gave me the conviction to turn my sins onto him.
I can't say that I'm completely free from my sin of same-sex lusting. My flesh and imagination will still betray me from time to time. But I believe in the Lord that he can sanctify me eventually. Like how he has made countless drug addicts, alcoholics, and gambling addicts turn from their sins completely. He can do the same for you and I too.
I'll be praying for you, brother!
Thanks, got it, sorry you had to reply, have a great day.
God bless,

There is ONE baptism.
Christ is the way, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. Christ is THE WORD.
By reading and studying God's words; those words becoming TRUTH AND LIFE to you, you are being baptised INTO CHRIST (into the word). His words of truth births you into the likeness of Christ. TRUTH sets you free from being deceived.
Satan who deceives the WHOLE WORLD.
Water baptism only get the flesh wet.
It is our usual way to tempt God in our evil heart when things are going well as we want it. We forget the care and protection that the Lord has blessed us with. The prosperity and might that was ours when we were in right relationship with our God and Savior.
Lord, many are going to eternity without you in their heart. They do not understand the fate that awaits them. I stand in the gap for those who intentionally and with malice - deliberately blaspheme you and teach others to do the same. I pray Lord for those who ignorantly go against Your Love and condemn themselves because they have fallen prey to the works of the devil. Let them see through the lies of the devil, and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, and there by be at your side and enjoy the blessings, benefits, and peace for all eternity.
Thank you Lord for being slow to anger, and patience to our hardened hearts. Let us as your people rise up and seek the lost and plant the seed, and water it that you may give the increase. I ask for wisdom in our prayers that we may glorify you. Thank you for answering my prayers and the prayers of the saints because of your righteousness and mercies.
Bless the President and all those in authority over us. Help us to teach the next generation the things of God. Open the eyes and heart of the lost to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. Thank you Lord for your promises and the blessings you have given to us as we await your coming.

We should always consult God before making any decisions, and I have found that the questioning of our choice is 9 times out of 10, a clear indication that we did not follow The Holy Spirit. Our doubt never comes from God...In God we are BOLD....and know clearly that it is of GOD. God also tells us to put our faith in no man...Only in God...So when one pays for something/anything sight unseen...where are you putting your faith? In words? Man's Words? And again I want to point out....obviously you, yourself are questioning your decision? Correct? I say pay HARD!! And remember in WHOM we are to trust!
All these verses deal with tattletales, backbiters and busybodies
Matthew 18:15-17 - Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. (Read More...)
Deuteronomy 19:15 - One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
2 Thessalonians 3:11-12 - For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. (Read More...)
His demise already determined, while we wait and ponder these things , we do not wish too know His end, for it will be headlong into hell for eternity! The darkness in his heart , is the same beam in His eye! He cannot remove it, even while he tries too succor us that wait on the Lord!
Oh dear soul, Fear not ! Your redemption draws nigh!
This one who comes, comes with fire in His eyes, Reaping even where He has not sown! Riding so valiantly, His name written forever! The redeemer!
Where will you be?
Will you be at the door, waiting with your lantern full, ready to meet Him? Or , will you be asking for more from those who you thought were yours? These who you wished would help you, will be gone when you return!
For the doors shall be closed and they will be gone! Repent and be baptized, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
it does seem like we are the babylon. i'm a catholic and we were never taught to actually read the bible.
i have many christian friends that feel we have been deceived and that the vaccines are the mark.... that the filth, ( pornography...child trafficking, the satanic rituals) and ungodly behaviour...(proven from eyewitnesses whistleblowers ) by our world leaders participating ( yes, in us, rome etc )
has been allowed by us... with no challenge... we have with our apathy and .. acquiesced, and as a result, have ignored these worldly evils, thus god and the angels are angry...our destiny will be god's rath...... our beautiful world has ... been dominated by the evil one...the devil.. i pray for the world
are we the us babylon?
thank you,

Paul spoke about the Word of God in Hebrews Chapter 4, calling it sharp like a double-edged sword. He said that it is active and nothing is hidden from it. Everything is exposed and laid bare. Everyone is accountable for what they do.
Paul then spoke about Jesus who ascended to heaven and is now the High Priest. He explained that Jesus is the son of God, yet He is able to empathize with everyone's weakness and human nature because He became a man himself. Jesus Himself was tried and tested. He had the opportunity to commit sin just as everyone else has, but He chose to obey God.
The mystery of godliness - Afterwards specified in six articles, which sum up the whole economy of Christ upon earth. Is the pillar and ground - The foundation and support of all the truth taught in his church. God was manifest in the flesh - In the form of a servant, the fashion of a man, for three and thirty years. Justified by the Spirit - Publicly declared to be the Son of God, by his resurrection from the dead. Seen - Chiefly after his resurrection. By angels - Both good and bad. Preached among the gentiles - This elegantly follows. The angels were the least, the gentiles the farthest, removed from him; and the foundation both of this preaching and of their faith was laid before his assumption. Was believed on, in the world - Opposed to heaven, into which he was taken up. The first point is, He was manifested in the flesh; the last, He was taken up into glory.

This, is his doing. His purpose for the learning He wishes to bring us, through correction, bringing us even unto Him!
A Nation who breaks the law that it lives by, therefore, will be judged by the same law! This is the law of God.
"For every action ,there will be an equal and opposite reaction! Even the law of science tells us these things!
This is just the way it is, and always will be!
Therefore a Nation that steals will be judged accordingly. A Nation that bears false witness shall be the same. A Nation that commits crime will be punished. A Nation who disobeys the law shall be judged! Whether a country, or a people the law of God applies equally. Repent and be baptized
My joy is knowing all my sins have been cleansed by His precious blood for ever.
My comfort is because My God has promised that all my sins have been forgotten, and never to be brought up again.
I now stand before my King, Lord, and Savior sanctified, and glorified not because of anything I did; but, only because of His mercies and love for me.
Thank you Lord for your daily benefits. I call on your precious love to be on all the saints, for your Face to continually shine on all who call on you. To bless the lost to turn to Christ before it is eternally to late. Bless our leadership and all those in positions of authority, with the salvation of Christ, that they may receive the mind of Jesus in this most pressing to times.... September 4, 2021
The book of Hebrews was written to Hebrew people, Jews. I believe what the writer was trying to say to these people (Jews) was that the sacrificial system of Judaism could not save them. You see, many Jews were following along with the believers, and they were receiving the knowledge of truth, that salvation was through Christ alone, but instead of surrendering their lives to Christ, they were thinking of turning back to Judaism. They were to that point where they had to make a decision. Do I surrender my life to Christ as my Messiah and denounce Judaism? If I do that, my family will disown me, I will lose my job, I will no longer be allowed in the temple, and I will be persecuted by my own people.
So the writer is telling them that if you turn away from the truth by not surrendering your life to Christ, and you go back to Judaism, and your system of sacrificing, there remains no sacrifice for your sins. In other words, you cannot be saved through Judaism. This verse is not talking about a believer losing their salvation.
And this is not something new: disagreements & debates over most of the issues we discuss here have gone on for eons & often by more worthier, well studied folk than ourselves. So, I see this medium kindly provided to us, mainly to present our understanding in the best way we can & leave it to others who are interested or indeed, have no opinion, to judge. Both of you, as a few others, have done very well, & if I were coming as one unfamiliar with such teaching, would have to admit receiving good supporting arguments from both of you. Or, as you say, only one can be correct, or maybe neither is correct, & in any case, we must continually be subject to the Holy Spirit, Who generally can even break through, or break down, the most stubborn of barriers.
One more thing: when a 'real' believer is under any test, even the severest of them, pertaining to his faith & love for the Lord, the Holy Spirit within truly gives the wherewithal to stand firm, unflinching, under spiritual duress. We might wonder about this, if persecution comes to us, whether we will hold up, whether we will be counted faithful & worthy by the Lord. Without adding further to this, I do earnestly believe, that a believer will be empowered, full of joy & confidence that whatever the outcome, the Lord is in control, He is present with us; that our lives are "hid with Christ in God" & we see His Face & not man's. Remember Stephen? Any claim to be a Christian, without the presence of God, will certainly result in a recanting. Thank you brothers.
Thanks. The only righteousness God sees in us is His Son, Jesus Christ. We have no righteousness of our own. I think you and I both agree that a person who is born of God's Spirit can no longer live a lifestyle of habitual sin because the Spirit of Christ in them keeps that from happening. The person who claims to be a Christian, and yet goes out and lives a life of habitual sin without the Lord dealing with them, that person probably does not belong to Christ.
1 John 3:6 says that whoever abides in Him, that is, in the Lord, does not sin. The word abides is a Present Participle, meaning continuously abiding. Whoever has Him abiding, is, Present Tense, not sinning, continuously as a habit of life. It's not talking about committing an act of sin. It's talking about committing sin continuously, a lifestyle of not surrendering to Christ.
Whoever is continuously remaining in Him, does not practice sin, ever! That means we can never go back and live the old lifestyle we lived before we received Christ. It's impossible. In contrast: Whoever is continuously sinning has not seen Him, neither have they known Him. That's a pretty bold statement to make!
As far as division, did you know that the bible teaches that division is necessary? Preaching is for the unsaved, and teaching is for the saved. But there are two divisions that take place. When somebody receives Christ, they are now separated from the unbelievers. There's a division that has taken place. But Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:19 that there must be heresies in the church. Why? It's so that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
God's word brings division. Look at Jesus. He performs a miracle and twenty-thousand people follow Him. So He turns around and gives one sermon, and everybody leaves but 12 people.
I think that if Jesus was the pastor of a local church and He did that, He would lose His job! "We didn't hire you to teach the truth and have people leave!"
