Out of all the postings on this site today, I found «Derp's «post the most fascinating and informative, as well as deeply revealing.Even after boasting of
what seems to be a practically perfect live

in arguments with my atheist friends, and like to think I wouldn't lower myself to the level of juvenile name - calling and personal attacks against whatever my atheist friends hold dear.Most of the time we simply agree to disagree; when they hold forth with misinformation or ignorance on their assumed «knowledge «of my

Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking of losing the ability to be an overcomer
in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed
in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to live a christian life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to sin and sinful desires.So
in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer
in the first place.So i can see how a christian could lose there salvation having once walked
by faith but that does nt effect there eternal life
in Christ.Just so others know i am now walking
by faith and am an overcomer i know
what it is like to experience the power of the holy spirit and to not be overcome
by my old nature that is
what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal life.brentnz
Theresa keep
what you were doing when you reached out to the homeless lady that was the right thing to do that was motivated
by the holy spirit do nt follow
what the church does do
what the Lord wants you to do and it will bear fruit.Let them do there thing you just keep following the Lord and listen to him
in your heart and let him lead you.People do things for different reasons to please others for power to be seen to do the right thing all those are the wrong reasons they are just dead works without the Lord we can do nothing.Dont let others turn you away from
what the Lord wants you to do its him we need to please always.Be encouraged that the Lord used you to touch a life that is awesome.And do nt take the rejection personally because its not you they are pushing away it is the Lord the yare not listening to him but doing wha tthey want to do it will bear no fruit.May the Lord bless you and your family
in your ministry step out
in faith and trust him he will not disappoint you because he is with you.

satans aim was to stop the fulfillment of the seed that would crush satan underfoot.This hybrid between the angels and man created giants abominations
in Gods eyes.They also were a threat to Gods people as can be seen
by the giants
in the land of caanan after the flood.If we agree on that then there is no way that Eve would have had intercourse with satan [false doctrine of the seed of satan -RCB- because the blood lines were still untainted
by angelic beings or satan at the time of Noah maybe that is also why the genealogy of Christ is well presented with no surprises apart from Hagar and Ruth these two were gentiles that shows Gods mercy grace was always there to all nations he accepts people
by faith not
by race.Prior to the flood the mixing of the angels and man must have been widespread after the flood these beings were present but
in limited numbers and God told his people to destroy them as they were abominations but they were a threat to Gods people.It would be interesting to hear
what the rabbis had to say on this matter as i would think the stories would have been past down from generation to the next.Especially regarding the flood.God promised he would never flood the earth again but a time is coming when the earth will be judged not
by flood but
by fire Jesus is our ark and we are safe
in him.brentnz

in him based on the information given, Lets look at the facts based on the Book,, Some of his own angels turned on him and they see him every day... That had to hurt, So he decides With man he only wants those with the
faith to believe based on His book and
faith found thru the holy spirit, If you refuse to believe then he cant use you, cant trust you, so he will choose to toss you aside, Hey I understand It ai nt fair, Your important, Your Smart, But unfortunately hes bigger then you and he has the Juice, You either play
by the rules or wait and see

The concept of once saved always saved takes a bit to get your head around but Gods grace is greater than our sin and greater than our good works it just takes
faith in Jesus Christ to recieve Gods grace.
In saying that to continue to sin as a christian is like playing with fire you will be burnt.Paul talks of the sexual immorality
in corinthian church of the son and father that were sleeping with the same wife they were excommunicated from the church the members were not allowed to even eat with them until they repented.There are consequences for our actions.The other side to this is that if you continue to sin as a christian you are not walking
by faith but walking
by the flesh and are really backsliding.
In the backslidden state you also become powerless and open to attack
by satan as long as we walk
in the flesh he can influence us to get worse not better.If we are walking
in Christ satan may still try to tempt us but we are empowered
by the holy spirit and overcome him and our
faith increases.Both are saved
by grace but one is powerless because of sin versus saved but an overcomer having been set free from sin i think this is
what Paul was trying to explain.It is better to be an overcomer than overcome
by sin.brentnz

Personally i think those specific prayers are a distraction most of the times we pray these prayers because its
what we think we need and often thats not the case.The better way is to just trust the holy spirit let him lead i think we miss the awesomeness of doing it Gods way its easy not difficult.The struggle is difficult when we are walking
by the flesh and trying to do it our way.When i got to the point where i said to the God i am not going to do it my way anymore and i submit to you because know
whats best for me.Change me and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk
by the flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak and i can not live a christian life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited with
what God is doing
in my life he has opened his word i am seeing the fruit of his life impacting mine and i am changing day
by day.I am walking
by faith and not slipping back into my old desires i know
what it means to be an overcomer sin does not have dominion over me anymore.
In myself i can not boast because it is the power of God at work
in my life and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz
Let us admit this frankly, once and for all:
what most discredits
faith in progress
in the eyes of men today, over and above its reticences and its helplessness
in meeting the cry of the «last days of the human species», is the unfortunate tendency still shown
by its adepts to distort into pitiful millenarianisms all that is most valid and most noble
in our now permanently awakened expectation of the future appearance of some form of «ultra-humanity».

in the service of our fellows.
