1 | If you are saved can you lose it | Rom 11:17 | Fellow Heir | 75561 | ||
If you understand Salvation comes by believing "Christ died for your sins" then it is my understanding that by disbelieving that will cause your Salvation to be lost. A supporting scripture is in Romans chapter 11 starting in verse 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; "Once Saved Always Saved" works only as long as you believe is my belief.

2 | offspring of satan? | Gen 3:15 | Fellow Heir | 75344 | ||
How about John 8;42-44. 42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Every place the Bible talks about "seed" it is talking about something that can only produce after its kind or wheat seed produces whet which produces more wheat seed. It appears in John 8:42-44 that the religous leaders in Israel for one would be Satans offspring (seed) since they fulfilled the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 to a tee. It could even be said any Liar is also Satans offspring according to the Lord Jesus in verse 44. Salvation by Christ alone Fellow Heir |

3 | Do you pick/choose what is for you? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75274 | ||
Searcher wrote; Do you pick/choose what is for you? I definitely do. I believe I am under Grace not Law and the Gospels may be in what is called the New Testament but if you look at them they are all under Israels law. Even when Christ sent the Diciples out to preach the "Kingdom of Heaven is near" He said "DO NOT GO INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES--ONLY GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL" I think that excluded me if I had been living at the time. As for a lot of the Gospels as well as the Old Testament there is truth that is universal and is not for Jew or Gentile only but for all mankind. I also believe "All scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable...but I don't believe it is all written for this present time in Church history. God had different programs throughout His Story starting with Adam and Eve in a perfect setting with only one prohibitiion on through Ten Commandments and some 400 plus laws for Israel to what Paul calls the "Administration of Grace" in Ephesians 3:1-12. I do differ with some on when the Rapture will take place. I believe it will be at the middle of the Great Tribulation (Rev 12:7-12) and I also believe there will not be enough live believers taken up that there will be even a short blurb on CNN. How many were in the Ark when the Deluge came? As for the Dead in Christ" I don't even see that graves or mausoleums have to burst open as some say. I believe God has the power to make the whole event so unnoticed that no one will know it happened. I accept everything Paul says since he called himself "The Apostle of the Gentiles" in Rommans 11:13 and I am certainly one of that breed. I would like to say I understand all he says but at 70 I still have a lot of unanswered questions though I have not given up yet that the answers will come. Fellow Heir |

4 | How is 1 Thess 4:17 related to Rev 4? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75266 | ||
There is no relation here. These scripture are talking about two different things. Fellow Heir |

5 | Fellow Heir, Can we include Mat 24:27-31 | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75260 | ||
The way I see it is the Rapture Paul talks about is the departure of the Church Which is HIS Body before the Tribulation period. See 1 Thes 5:1-11 I believe Matthew is talking about Christ's return to save the nation Israel as prophesied in Zechariah 14. This will definitely be after the Great Tribulation. Fellow Heir |

6 | Is there more than one heaven | 2 Cor 2:12 | Fellow Heir | 75248 | ||
Paul says in 2 Cor 2:12 he was caught up to the "Third Heaven" so there must be at least three places called heaven. He also wrote about Christ ascending "far above all heavens in Eph 4:10 | ||||||
7 | Does 1 Cor 15:51-53 show the rapture? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75245 | ||
When Paul says "we will not all sleep" he is referring to ones not dead. Even Christ used sleep to indicate Lazarus was dead. Then he says "the dead will be raised imperishable" and "WE" shall al be changed. Even talks about the Trumpet Sound. Sounds to me like a parallel passage to 1 Thes 4:13-18. Fellow Heir |
