Yeah well, good verses alright. But nothing to do with apostasy. Some have problems staying on their own topics. Apparently the verses ran a little short pertaining to the subject.

It's making a stand against the enemy. And continuing to do so Is what he said as to why he was posting Ephesians 6:13. What does Paul mean by "avails anything" in Galatians? What kind of life and death is Paul speaking about in Romans 8:13-14? The answer to those questions makes it clear that a passive belief does not save, it is an active belief, a lifestyle based on belief, that is saving belief.

What did Nahum and the Widow bring to the table? Nothing. And neither can we. Salvation is a free gift that cost everything for Yeshua (YA is Salvation). Do not add to this. Have BELIEVING FAITH and LOYALTY like Nahum and the Widow. (That is what Yeshua said to His unbelieving towns folk.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His death and resurrection is why believers have the Spirit. Therefore the Spirit will not be taken away from us based on our merit. One must be led by the Spirit in order to enter heaven. One must be born again; by the Spirit, in order to enter heaven. For "IF you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law." Galatians 5:18 Therefore one, must, be led by the Spirit, otherwise that one is under the law. Therefore what avails anything is a new creation. (Someone actually changed by the Spirit) Therefore to resist that change, is damnation, a blaspheme, against the Spirit; Hebrews 10:29. "IF you live after the flesh you shall die." "IF you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live." Romans 8:13 What kind of life and death is Paul speaking about? Spiritual life and death. "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Romans 8:14 "And they that are Christs, have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts" Galatians 5:24 Therefore we see that sincere belief leads to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and therefore to a lasting change in a persons life, a change towards continual holiness and godliness. To resist that change is to be an enemy of God, worthy of destruction; Ephesians 5:5, Philippians 3:18-19, Galatians 5:18-24, 1 Corinthians 16:22, John 14:21-23, 1 Timothy 6:3-14, Hebrews 10:26-29.
