Hi James.

I think you’re the one who is missing the obvious here. How do you force someone who has no free will? I am sure you know that Calvinists have the silly notion that mankind in toto has no free will. So, how do you FORCE someone without their will when they have no will? Do you see that your argument falls flat on its face? You’re just so wrong.

An Islamic expert says of their own religious system:

“The Divine will is irresistible, and has decreed in every detail the entire course of the universe which He governs, and the fate each moment of every creature therein . . . Its dogma of predestination and of fate . . . leaves no room for human free-will . . .” (Alfred S. Geden, Comparative Religion (London: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1917), 102–103.)

And so it is with Calvinism.

ChosenJulia, would you say that Hebrews 6 confirms or denies Jesus Christ’s promise in John 10,

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. (Joh 10:28-30).

If you say, “it denies it” then you have a problem with having faith in Jesus. I rest my case.

May the Lord God of Israel, Adonai-Tzva’ot open your heart to receive the truth. In Yeshua’s Name, amen.
I rest my case.

Dear Chosen Julia

A born again Christian can’t lose their salvation. You confuse OT with NT. In the OT the Holy Spirit did not indwell believers, when a believer sinned, the Holy Spirit could and in many cases did leave the believer until they repented and He would return. This was under law.

In the NT under grace the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in believers and He remains. He keeps the the believer on the narrow path.

Anyone who takes the Mark of the Beast is not saved to start off with, and they will take the mark of the beast out of pure hatred for Jesus Christ and pure love for Satan. The Mark of the Beast is all about pledging ALLEGIANCE to the Antichrist/Satan. It’s all about WORSHIP of the Antichrist.

Proverbs 28:
To show partiality is not good—
yet for a piece of bread a man may do wrong.

So the way I am understanding this verse in Proverbs 28 in correlation with Revelation stating one should not accept the mark of the beast; (because they will not repent from it); is one should not ‘pretend’ to like/care/follow after a person who has a crust of bread for them if they will ‘worship/like’ them. The Proverbs says a man will do wrong also if he accepts the crust of bread under the guise of liking what the man with the ‘crust of bread’ is offering in order to receive the crust of bread. This to me says: Do not pretend to approve of someone if they have something you want, otherwise you will be in the wrong. This means no acceptance of the mark of the beast to buy a ‘crust of bread’ because it is wrong. 
If a Christian has the ‘Divine Holy Spirit’ within them and takes the mark of the beast so they can access ‘a crust of bread’ then they will lose the Holy Spirit in them, (and He will NEVER return) because the Holy Spirit will not dwell in the ‘Temple of Yeshua/God’ which is our body when we are truly born again.

1 Corinthians 3:16
Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that the Ruach Elohim dwells among you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

John MacArthur says one can accept the mark of the beast and still be saved. Even though the Scriptures says otherwise in Revelation 14:9-11:

And another angel, a third one, followed them, saying in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he shall also drink the wine of God’s fury, poured full strength into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. Those who worship the beast and its image and those who receive the mark of his name have no rest day or night.”

Yeshua told Nicodemus that if one doesn’t have the Holy Spirit, they cannot enter into the kingdom, nor see God.

John 3:
Yeshua answered, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I said to you, ‘You all must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

And let us remember what emissary Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10; about sharing the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons:
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?” 

Hebrews 10:
For if we keep on sinning willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but only a terrifying expectation of judgment and a fury of fire about to devour the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much more severe do you think the punishment will be for the one who has trampled Ben-Elohim underfoot, and has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know the One who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “Adonai will judge His people.” It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I praise God for His workmanship in me by washing me in Yeshua’s blood, filling me with the Holy Spirit and using me in all things for His glory and honor! All glory and honor to the God of my heart, soul, strength and salvation; Lord God Adonai – Tzva’ot of Israel.

It turns out God’s Word was right all along.

Can I tell you a secret 🙂 When I was born again I went from pillar to post looking for sound pastors to teach me and I landed up with John MacArthur who I thought was just great. I bought his commentary bible and started to read it. I would read the chapter and study the verses and then look at his commentary to see if what I read and understood matched with his commentary. After doing this for a while I realised that a lot of his commentary was not right. I sat back and I prayed and I asked Jesus how is it that what I am understanding and what his commentary says is not matching up and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, it was the Holy Spirit who was the one illuminating me to understand the scriptures. It was the most wonderful day of my life – to realise that I had the Holy Spirit abiding in me and He was teaching me.

I hope you come to this understanding too Aileen – you don’t need a pastor to teach you – you need the Holy Spirit. And when you read others writings you TEST what they say according to what the bible says – this is why you need to know what the bible says.

Your best and most reliable Teacher would be the Holy Spirit. Jesus said:

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (Joh 16:12-14)

What all Christians need to do, is to evaluate everything anyone else says in the light of Scripture. If it does not harmonize with Scripture it must be rejected outright. Therefore, you need to know Scripture.
