It is not in God's Word , is it, and it is against forum rules, isn't it, to tell someone they are saved or not saved ? Where in Scripture, btw, is it written, that the people of God, OT or NT, TRIED ? That they "tried" to walk with Him; "Tried" to obey Him, etc .... when they obeyed Him, they were blessed, ; right ? When they disobeyed Him, He chastised, corrected , or even scourged them, right ? There was never a question of "try" to obey Him - either obey or not. (OT and NT; Galatians, Ephesians, 1st John, Revelation - lots in His Word)

What is your source for truth ?

Not at all - your use of 'open canon stuff' is unbiblical and untrue, apparently.

That is true according to tradition. It is not at all what God's Word says. Did you ever read Hebrews in the NT ? Very clearly different form , DIRECTLY..... AS WRITTEN. (oh, yes, always in perfect harmony with all of His Word - this is true: harmony; but not nearly the only form God uses, as written especially in the first century, with the Apostles, and since then as written in Hebrews and etc )

"When one-third of mankind dies " (not just one third of those infected), " the remaining two thirds of mankind REFUSES to repent of worshiping demons" ..... This is more like an act of God, eh ?

I have no idea how you think that 'corrects' anything I posted? The plague was simply consequences, (the one today is perpetrated consequences, by men) .... not an act of God most likely. He gets His say later, with destruction by fire. Now THAT IS AN ACT OF GOD (the destruction of mankind (this time instead of by water) by fire) .

I can't well keep up with the flow of posts/ conversations while on moderator review, sorry. I just reply to (usually) individual posts as Yahweh guides me, word for word, by His Revelation.

Jesus did not come to torment people, (except the wicked do end up tormented, they have no peace). See the worthychristianlibrary dot com (take the spaces out and change dot to .) thru the url or thru the link upper left on this page under "Worthy Ministries" (hover or click to see the library) Peaceful true Scripture lessons there, without the distractions of errors , arguments, debates, and so on...

Per title, from another viwe: How can you have false assurance of salvation ? i.e. like those written in Scripture who believe they are saved , right up to the day they die. Then on Judgment Day , Jesus says "Bye Bye; be gone from Me; I never knew you" ..... (with a few more details noted by Yahweh, in His Word) ...

Did Jesus die for the unrighteous ? Is an atheist unrighteous (like all other people to start with) ? Did Jesus die for the atheist ? Can the atheist therefore repent and be immersed in Jesus' Name and inherit eternal life (like few people who find the narrow gate/road to life as written) ?

The expectation of truth is positive, but subject to testing. As long as tradition compromises God's Word, there is purification/ sanctification/ revelation still required.

What is written in His Word? He tells His Purpose in His Word - and it is the same all along - not changing with the whims or thoughts of men. Men (a few, as written) turn to Him, or reject His Word (most common), and His Word is not changed regardless how many turn to Him or reject Him.

Or, just consequences. The only people during the black death who went out in the streets and brought in the sick children and sick men and women to their own homes were the true Christians. THey were not afraid. and of note there were many homes upon which death and sickness did not come. Likewise today - it is a huge event today , politically and financially motivated for and by some groups. They could have probably just isolated those in danger of problems, i.e. 3 to 5 percent of the already sick, old and young, instead of isolating (or trying to) 90 to 99 percent - isolating a few would of had only minor consequences, and put fewer people at risk, while isolating over 90 percent puts a lot more people at risk for many many problems as seen today. "an act of God" ? The miracle is if Jesus finds faith on earth !

Stick with good food/ good bread. As noted recently: stick with Scripture as the Father reveals His Word, and not with tradition..... to avoid the deceptions so common today, (..." it is just barely that the righteous are saved, what's to happen to the ungodly" !?

This used to be seen commonly on the forum - in 'lighter' cases of sin. You and I and other Ekklesia are "capable" of doing certain things, but CHOOSE not to do those things. See in the Epistles the choices that they made, and when, and why. The will is important. Just like a football player on the red team, is "capable" of traitor - helping the other team, but rarely does - he plays with and for the red team according to ALL the rules (not just SOME of the rules). So sin, like God told Cain, is to be resisted/ rejected/ not given in to, and the choice is given to men: CHOOSE TODAY who to serve, and most CHOOSE to serve demons/ idols/ false gods. But those who endure to the end will be saved, as written.

I don't think 'cess.........' is a Biblical term describing this. Rather, as written: "... having the FORM of religion, but denying the POWER..." which was true when written, and remains true today - God's Word, and Jesus, "the same yesterday, today and forever" , as written. Not subject to the thoughts of men, nor time, nor culture.

What 'religion' ? / idol/ false god/ "deceives the whole world" (today) re The Apocalypse..... All the governments/ religous leaders/ teachers/ professionals/// all deceived by it... (all except the few who remain trusting in Jesus, following Jesus; the remnant)

Apropro quote from another thread a few minutes ago: "If you follow what Christ says in His Word with truly all your heart and mind, then you are fine. But if you take up mans ideas and especially 'tradition'.... " ... ... ...

He has not told "us"/ if "us" means or includes those who live in the flesh, who have not heard Him, instead reject His Word. The "?" seems out of place..... the people were stricken to the heart , crying out "what shall we do", before they repented and were immersed in Jesus' Name. Afterwards, they REJOICED at God's Word, hungry and longing FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, desiring eagerly Jesus and to do as He Says - asking Jesus "what shall we do"/ "how shall we live" ... and being taught by Jesus (those who remain with Jesus). Like little children, simply learning from Jesus and DOing what Jesus says, not wondering "Is such a thing possible?" it seems to me, but rejoicing that Jesus and the Father accmplished their salvation after pointing out the broken-ness, the sinfulness of man/ the need to turn to the Father, repenting. True, Jesus told the Apostles and permanent disciples "I know you don't know how to live" ..... but then what ? That's not the end, no, not at all. Then Jesus continued: "Come to Me, and Learn From Me; I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO LIVE" .... (over and over He showed the Apostles and permanent disciples throughout Scripture; and throughout history for the Ekklesia) ... "I will teach you" .... His Word, His Promise, to those who love (obey) God and are called according to His Purpose (like being born again: by His Will, not man's will; His Purpose, not man's purpose) ....

The Scripture is not veiled concerning the enemy of Christ, for the Ekklesia. (i.e. what "will become" is written simply = no vision, dream, nor illusion required )

Yes, that's more accurate with Scripture. Not all sin is forgiven, by far, but the payment for sin was made once for all by Jesus , Christ Crucified. The Provision for everything needed in this life and eternally was extravagently generously planned and accomplished by the Father.

I'll let others explain why this is not in line with all Scripture. (it was already posted in many threads over the years)

The pastor in the video does/ did/ and continues to. If you missed it, see where he says sin is subjective , as if sin is subjective. THAT is promoting sinfulness, over all life - whatever is not of faith IS SIN. (not subjective)

There won't be a cleansing of earth until Jesus returns. "The wicked will be becoming more wicked" (not cleaner nor saved) "The righteous will be becoming more righteous" (sheer grace of the remnant in God's Plan , Purpose and Salvation in Christ Jesus)

Usually. (sinful). In the video, jump to 4:38 to shorten the pain of watching it. (the pastor doing the video claims sin is "subjective", instead of agreeing with God's Word. i.e. the video promotes sinfulness overall.
