@stonedcartman @Jimmyjames07 @tadgh_dc Friend, please read the Bible. You will be surprised how far it is from what others will tell you about it.
Start in the book of John!

@JoshAshwor32068 @RisingDisciples Dude, seriously? You can't even imagine?

@jeru_complete @RisingDisciples Yes. How do you make sense of Isaiah 53?

Do not forget what they believe, and don't look away.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "The Hour will not be established until you fight against jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: 'There is a jew hiding behind me come kill him.'" I never understood this Hadith until today.

@jeru_complete @tadgh_dc That statue shows Hindu divine figures killing demons, why are you opposed to killing demons?

If you believe that I can only be saved through your religion, then you must not care for me at all if you do not wish to share it.
I will continue to share Christ with the world, because I love my brothers and sisters in humanity, and because there is no other way.
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
~ John 14:6
Please, friend - research the evidence for Christ. If you find it to be false, then you can be only more assured of your faith. But, if you find it to be true, then your eternity will look very different.
English
Not at all, brother. Jesus says quite clearly that it is those who He will not cast out or deny, but we can most certainly break our own seal and willfully apostatize - He will leave us to our allegiances, even if He still chases us for a little while.
"For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. "
~ Hebrews 10:26-27
But...
"My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
~ 1 John 2:1
We must aim not to sin but, so long as we cling to our great high priest (Hebrews 5:6-9), we have forgiveness for our sins in Christ Jesus.
All blessings on your faith journey, and welcome to the family!

@jeru_complete New Christian here.
Does this mean Christs atonement didn’t work for that person? Is that Christ failing to keep all that the father has given him? John 6:37.
Just trying to marry up differing ideas and build my system of understanding

If you are truly Born Again, Jesus will not lose one of you. John 6:39 (one of many such verses)
Only those trying to earn their salvation (usually the water baptism crowd) think they can lose it. But they never had it.
English
I don't judge you in the slightest. I know I need to be saved from my sins as much as you do, and I pray to the most high God that we all come to know Him.
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
~ 2 Peter 3:9

@davidra @_ManiNEsS_ @tadgh_dc Name me an abolitionist of slavery, and I will also name you a Christian.
English
@jeru_complete @_ManiNEsS_ @tadgh_dc The standard of human decency. Your god literally gives instructions on how to buy slaves, own them as PROPERTY for LIFE, and pass them down to their children and grandchildren as PROPERTY for LIFE (Leviticus 25 : 44-46). Straight up evil.
English
@JoshAshwor32068 @RisingDisciples Did you even read what I wrote?
English
@jeru_complete @RisingDisciples Have you read Isaiah 53? And if so, when it says that it was the will of the Lord to crush Jesus and He has put Him to grief, that has nothing to do with God's intentions of putting Christ to death for the forgiveness of sins?

@Matthew_T_Lowe @btbsoco A parody is an intentionally false representation of something.
If you know it's not correct, and you willfully partake, in what way is it not mockery?
I don't care about mold, but it sounds like you're saying doing things incorrectly may have medicinal benefits.
English
@jeru_complete @btbsoco Willingly partaking in parody?
It’s a shame you couldn’t argue in good faith.
You may be interested to learn that moldy bread has been eaten for thousands of years all over the world. And that it was considered medicinal…and it’s how penicillin was invented.

When you think you know more than the Christ himself!

@btbsoco What matters is what is in the heart of the person being baptized, not the words spoken.
English
@_ManiNEsS_ @tadgh_dc What standard are you using to judge?
English
@jeru_complete @tadgh_dc How anyone can see the hideous things that your “god” has done in your book of fairytales—oops, I mean the Bible—and not see a false god is an idiot and a loon.
English
@Matthew_T_Lowe @btbsoco Actually, I'd say the opposite.
We should not mock God by willfully partaking in a parody of his sacraments when we know it's only a facade.
Moldy bread is poison, and so it's better to starve. Jesus did not tell us to choose the lesser evil - he said to choose good.
English
@jeru_complete @btbsoco I see now.
I wouldn’t be fat-affirming in this scenario, though.
I’m the one saying “if a person is starving, and only moldy bread is available, get those nutrients.”
It’s better to eat fresh bread
It’s better to be baptized in the full name of the Trinity.
But not essential.

@David_wthebeard May God have mercy on you.

Sister, I know it's unlikely you'll see this but - if God wills it - maybe it'll help. Romans begins by emphasizing the importance of individual choice (see last half of Romans 1). Once we reach Romans 9, Paul begins by expressing his sadness that the Israelites have themselves chosen not to accept Christ (first few verses) - especially in light of theirs being the promise they're throwing away. Continuing with this same subject, he goes on by mentioning Jacob and Esau about the order of their promises (no, not their salvation) by referencing Malachi 1: 2-5 and so comparing modern Israel to Edom, who fell away from God by giving away their promise (like Esau and the lentil soup). Remember, Esau was the firstborn and so would have (providence notwithstanding) had Jacob's destiny if he had treasured his promised inheritance, just like how the Jews were those originally promised salvation. The next portion, about Pharaoh, is an example of someone who was given many free choices to turn to God, but repeatedly turned it down ('hardened his heart' numerous times before 'God hardened his heart'). This was Paul's way of highlighting Israel's repeated opportunities to turn to Christ but being unable to see because of the self-induced hardness of their hearts. The last relevant portion, about the potter and clay, needs to be read with how Paul understood this analogy: "In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." ~ 2 Timothy 2: 20-21 All love and blessings be on you, sister. Even if we don't all agree on the details, we're still one family in Christ and should continue to act like it. God bless.

@UN_News_Centre @UNFPA I've been hungry in my life before, and not once have I considered raping a child.
The problem isn't circumstance, and you're the disgusting enablers who defend it.
Eternal shame on those who defend it.
You've shown the world your true faces.

@Matthew_T_Lowe @btbsoco My original answer was to your question about whether those who were baptized by John were re-baptized. My second answer is to the scope of the baptism - a baptism can in fact be invalid, according to Scripture.
Please don't take my words beyond their intended bounds.
English
@jeru_complete @btbsoco Who’s talking about not believing the Trinity?
I’m talking about what’s in the heart of the person being baptized VS whether the priest baptizing says all the words that church tradition requires.
English
@Matthew_T_Lowe @btbsoco If someone is fat-affirming, and a nutritionist corrects them in a comment, then the nutritionist is not also obligated in the same comment to list healthy foods.
He's only correcting the error - that was the implication of my extending your metaphor.
English
@jeru_complete @btbsoco Nobody mentioned a body positivity advocate.
It seems like you’re expanding my analogy about the nutritionist, but I don’t follow how body positivity factors in to your larger point.
English
@JosiahForYeshua Exactly.

It's not losing your salvation if you did not yet have it in completion. You can forfeit an inheritance to come. "And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies." ~ Romans 8:23 Likewise, as others have mentioned, Hebrews 6:4-6 is clear that you may have the Spirit and lose Him, which is fundamentally what it means to forfeit your inheritance because He is the seal of our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14). Seals can certainly be unsealed - they just can't be rightfully sealed again, except by the original sealer.
English
This is a straw man. The alternative to “once saved always saved” is not “earning our salvation.” It’s not really even “losing our salvation,” because we can’t be separated from God or accidentally misplace our faith. But we can THROW AWAY our boldness and the reward that comes with it (that’s biblical terminology—Hebrews 10:35) through the active choice to keep willfully sinning, thereby trampling upon and cutting ourselves off from Yeshua’s sacrifice (v. 10:26). We cannot earn our salvation through our own actions, but only by belief in Yeshua; likewise, we cannot be saved if we walk in unbelief. If we allow sin to harden our hearts, it will cause unbelief in us and we will fall away from God (v. 3:12-13).
So no, this isn’t about “earning your salvation” or trying to use your own works to keep yourself saved. But we as believers need to have the sober understanding that if we allow sin to fester in our lives, there is a real danger that we will reject the faith and revert to unbelief—and no one who is in unbelief can be saved. If we do fall away like this, then Yeshua can’t die for us a second time (v. 6:4-6), and we can’t be born again again.
Have confidence and peace in your faith, knowing that there is NO WAY to accidentally lose your salvation, or for anything to insert itself between you and God. But Scripture teaches us to have a healthy fear of the damage that sin can cause. Exhort one another, so that none of us will be hardened to God and throw away the new life that He has given us.
