SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION

Can someone who has come to saving faith in Jesus “lose” or “walk away” from their salvation? Is there Biblical evidence for this? So many believe it is possible that it seems there must be scriptural evidence for it, right? Um… No. There is none. But, just in case you won’t take my word for it let’s see what God says about it in His word, ok? To begin with let’s look at something Jesus taught Israel that many wrongly interpret to mean that New Covenant believers can lose their salvation. It is found in John15 where we see Jesus teaching the disciples about who He is and why they need to believe it. He said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every…

Pt.6- Fellowship With God, Our Reasonable Service

By Edward O’Hara Sun 1/5/2020 3:30 PM From the last article, we learned that Adam could not make a moral choice that brought a penalty while in the garden. Which showed that death is not a penalty man receives by inheritance or imputation from Adam as some have falsely believed. And that this was because while he had one of the components necessary for such a choice, he was still missing 2 very important parts.  Without which he could not make a moral choice for which penalties are imputed by God. Because while he did have free will, he did not have the knowledge of good and evil. Or the law that Paul says in Rom.5:12-14 only came through Moses.  With this in mind, I now want to show what God’s purpose was for doing things in this kind of…

Put.5- Could Adam Make A Moral Choice?

Edward O’Hara Thu 1/2/2020 1:07 PM In my last article I showed that when Paul said sin is not imputed when there is no law, he meant exactly what he said. And how the religion of the cults is in such disagreement with Paul that they have believed exactly the opposite. Falsely teaching that Adam’s sin was not only imputed to him. But, that his sin was imputed to all of mankind bringing the penalty of death. And in believing this they make Augustine their apostle by receiving his false sin nature/original sin doctrine in rejection of Paul’s gospel.  In this article, I will show that this is not the only false teaching that has managed to deceive so many. Because the scripture says other things were missing from Adam and Eve in those days that the false church misses…

Put.4- Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law- Rom.5:13

Edward O’Hara Tue 12/31/2019 1:21 PM… In our last study we left off with the question; But, what about the people that God destroyed in the flood? Or at Sodom and Gemorah? Weren’t these punished by God for their sins? Isn’t that the imputation of sin? The short answer is no. Because there are a couple of reasons given in the Bible for why this happened. And none of these is said to be because of imputed sin. In some instances, it was because those that God destroyed were not really human people at all. Like when God flooded the earth. Because in Gen.6 we see that God says the only people who were perfect in their generations/genealogy were Noah. And the rest had been affected by the DNA change because of the marriages that had been going on between the…

Christ Is Born

The Bible is very clear about why Christ was born. The Bible tells us that He was born to “take away the sin of the world”(John1:29). And Jesus said that this sin was that “they believe not on me”(John16:9). Because it is in believing in Jesus that we have the eternal life that Jesus was born to provide for us.  For Israel, this would begin by Him fulfilling the law so that it could pass away(Mt.5:17,18). This was necessary for Israel because as long as they were under the law they could not be joined with Jesus for eternal life(Rom.7:1-4). Because while they were under the law they were “kept shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.”(Gal.3:23).  And for the Gentiles(all who are not Israelites) Jesus came to offer them the same New Covenant He brought to Israel.…

Sin Nature Or Free Will?

If a man has inherited from Adam then we must see it in the Genesis account. But, there is no mention of any change in Adam’s nature in that passage or anywhere else in the scriptures… The passage shows us that the only change that happened in Adam after he ate the fruit is his receiving of the new knowledge. And God says of his receiving this new knowledge in Gen.3:22- “Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil” This shows that this new knowledge made Adam more like God. “As one of us”. So it could not be a sin nature.  Rom.7 is a favorite of those who have been indoctrinated with the RCC view of why man sins. But, it actually says nothing of the kind. And neither does any of the rest of the…
