@Cowboy, While I can almost completely agree, I have to ask this question. Where do you stand concerning predestination? If you are saying that a believer can sin wantonly with no conscience, then I would say that person was never saved to begin with but for whatever reason just played at being a Christian.
@Shadetree49 As predestination goes, I don't believe once saved always saved, it all depends on your works. What the comment was refering to is once you dedicate your life and get baptized, it is basicly the beginning of your faithfulness to God. Then it really depends on your works and your indurance in serving God Jehovah. If later in life you sin, you can repent and earn your way back to God, as he remembers all that we do, good and bad, but he can forgive as long as you repented and remain in good standing with our God. Thank you for you question, it's always good to have a biblical conversation.
Biblical Back-up: (James 2:24-26 24) You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. 25) In the same manner, was not Raʹhab the prostitute also declared righteous by works after she received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way? 26) Indeed, just as the body without spirit* is dead, so also faith without works is dead. Footnote: * or Breath @Shadetree49 ❤
Another referance: (James 2: 14-17) 14) Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? 15) If any brothers or sisters are lacking clothing and enough food for the day, 16) yet one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you do not give them what they need for their body, of what benefit is it? 17) So, too, faith by itself, without works, is dead.
@Shadetree49
@Shadetree49 I hope I answered your questions, if not let me know and I will try to cover it. Thanks again,
You did well my brother I know that God keeps me more than I keep Him and if I do keep Him it's because He gives me the wisdom and strength to do so. I love Him because He first loved me.

Ephesians 4: 1-4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called. With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling.

The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. —Deut. 32:4.
“Will the Judge of all the earth
not do what is right?” (Gen. 18:25)
With that question, Abraham expressed confidence that Jehovah
would render perfect justice in
the case of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Abraham was convinced that Jehovah would never act unjustly by
“putting the righteous man to death
with the wicked one.” Such an act
was “unthinkable” to Abraham. He
could express such confidence because Jehovah is the greatest example of justice and righteousness.
In fact, the Hebrew words rendered
“justice” and “righteousness” often appear together in the Hebrew
Scriptures. Basically, there is no
distinction between what is just
and what is right. Logically, since
Jehovah is the ultimate standard of
righteousness, his view of matters
will always be just. Further, according to his own written Word, “he
loves righteousness and justice.”
—Ps. 33:5. w17.04 18 ˚1-2
Let there be peace on Earth.
This was beautiful
God, Author and Finisher of our faith, there are times when we are so tempted to cry out for the happy ending of the story! There are times when we are so enveloped by the sadness and brokenness of this world that we can nearly forget that You made the universe for good! In sorrow we lift up the extended family of @LightBe777 , where there has lately been so much loss and sorrow. We imagine them crying out with Job, "Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house, when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me, when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil. " The sorrow is real and deep, and we feel it with this family. We appeal to Yeshua to reach out with the hand of wholeness and touch this entire family. We pray that You will wipe away their tears and clear their vision to see the blessings You have in store for them. In this time particularly, we ask You to wrap Your loving arms around them and give them peace, comfort and rest. We turn our hopes to Yeshua's words, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." We pray in the Name of the One who is, indeed , our Comforter--Jesus Christ. Amen.
Praying for healing for your mother .

💗 Thank you so much @MtNerd . Thank you for praying over my daughter & her family. There is times that I have no answers for my children trying to get her through the loss of a husband & the girls through the loss of their dad & now this. I just have no words except prayers for them right now. They don't want to hear about God right now. I just pray that God speaks to them as only He can.
No greater joy do I have than this:
that I should hear that my children
go on walking in the truth.

Psalms
Chapter 63

1 (A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Sorry I wasn't paying attention &missed this ... 😕
