The problem with OSAS is that if you leave the faith, you are considered to have never been saved in the first place. So why make a big deal about OSAS? If you are currently believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you can consider yourself safe ("saved"), because He has the power to resurrect...

Because he's here legally.

And according to Marco Rubio, Mamdani is next!

It's tradition that says the book of James was written by the brother of Jesus. From the description in the letter and in Jude's letter, it could have been the third James, the brother of Jude, according to the scripture @Right Divider provided.

Now you do, apparently.

Yet he also said they had already obtained mercy because the Jews had rejected Christ. How can that be the same folks? It can't be. So the interpretation that Paul is writing to proselyte unbelievers is hogwash.

Now whose reading comprehension is in question? Huh? Are you seriously saying that "brethren...as among other Gentiles" means these were proselytes? Seriously? HAHAHAHAHAHA. And that is that force of your "showing" me something from scripture? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! He preached the death...

Showing something from scripture and asserting something from scripture are two entirely different things. Someday maybe you will understand the difference.

Ever heard of Sharknado?

I agree with you. Tell that to @Right Divider.

Yes...already have converted to Judaism. Yet Paul tells them this: Romans 10:1-4 KJV — Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they [not "you", because Paul is not speaking to converts to Judaism] might be saved. For I bear them [not "you", because Paul is not speaking...

Proselytes are by definition part of Israel. As soon as they are considered part of Israel, they are no longer part of those who are being grafted in because of the unbelief of Israel--they are literally part of Israel that are mostly rejecting their saviour. So it is logically incoherent to say...

And Gentlies. Paul was talking to all three groups, who had joined together in one congregation. And the only way that makes sense is if they had heard of the reconciliation of Jesus Christ bringing those who were far off nigh by His blood (from Eph 2:13).It tells us here in the same chapter of...

Paul seems to be saying to the Roman church that somebody was cut out of something and the Roman church was grafted in. Romans 11:17 NKJV — And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and...

Like the word "logos". 😉
