Scripture ... 2 Tim 2:8-19 (vs 15), 3:12-17 (vv 16-17) ... kevlee0825, God's day to you. You have not lost anything that God has to offer, only the time that you haven't spent with Him.

Read a Psalm or another passage that tells about how great God is. Ask Him for insight as you study and thank Him at the end. You need a - Period. Give God your best time. It may mean going to bed early or giving up something. - Place. It needs to be free of distractions and be suited for study, well lit a chair and table. - Pattern.

Searcher, I beg to differ, and want to kindly and respectfully ask: Does the Bible teach us we DON'T have to walk in the light as He is in the light in order to be saved? Or, does the Bible teach even if we walk in DARKNESS we are still saved? Does the Bible teach us we know we are saved even if we DON'T repent or keep His commandments? Does the Bible teach us we can forsake the assembly and NOT gather in worship and prayer, singing praises unto God, partaking of the Lord supper upon the first day of the week and still be saved? Are there scriptures that teach us we can never fall from grace? Kevlee confessed that he has not been in the light or has been living the Christian life the Bible commands us to live. Are His commandments mere suggestions or does the Bible teach: We must obey His commandments to be saved? Satan believed, and didn't walk in the light. Is he saved? Yes, Kevlee can ask God for forgiveness and strength to repent, and as long as Kevlee continues to walk in the light and obey His commandments, Kevlee can have the peace of mind he is saved. There are no scriptures that teach once saved, always saved. Kevlee, will you take advantage of free Bible lessons? If so, please write: Benton Church of Christ, P.O. Box 228, Benton, Ky 42025, asking them to be added to the free lessons, and providing them with your address. You work at your own pace. If you don't want to continue the lessons, simply do not return the lesson. No one will knock at your door or call you. You complete the lessons as you see fit. Thank you, and God bless to all. | ||||||

While you failed to back up your claims, I have ... and I hope you do in return, Does the Bible teach us we DON'T have to walk in the light as He is in the light in order to be saved? ... No ... we don't have to add anything in our own efforts to be saved ... but, we need let Him work in us (Eph 2:8-10). Or, does the Bible teach even if we walk in DARKNESS we are still saved? ... I don't believe we can walk in darkness, after we are saved. There are people who claim they are Christians, but are not (1 Jo 1:5-2:2). Does the Bible teach us we know we are saved even if we DON'T repent or keep His commandments? ... We do rneed to repent to be saved (Acts 2:38) ... keeping His commandments only show that we love Him (John 14:15). Does the Bible teach us we can forsake the assembly and NOT gather in worship and prayer, singing praises unto God, partaking of the Lord supper upon the first day of the week and still be saved? ... No ... Hebrews 10:25 and other passages do not say these are not saved. Are there scriptures that teach us we can never fall from grace? Not in my opinion (Eph 2:8-10) Kevlee confessed that he has not been in the light or has been living the Christian life the Bible commands us to live. Are His commandments mere suggestions or does the Bible teach: ... Kevlee may be mistaught ... as I think you are. We must obey His commandments to be saved? ... No, see above. Satan believed, and didn't walk in the light. Is he saved? His demons believed that there was on God (Jam 2:19) ... in their head ... but, belief is not enough (Rom 10:-15-13). Jane Doe ... now disprove what I have said by Scripture ... and remember the next time the principle of Galatians 6:1-2. |
