Do we have eternal security? "once saved always saved concept?"


After having an enlightening and edifying conversation with some of my friends at applebees from a Christian group called 365 here in the Green bay area, I have been inspired to write this and show this to others as well in order to provide edification in Christ!


First, I would like to give thanks to God that he has allowed me to acquire wisdom on this topic through more developed men in Christ and if it wasn't for the wisdom that God gave them to give me, then surely I would not be able to write as much on this subject.


Alrighty folks check this amazing stuff out!... Here is what I have read and acquired as to what God has to say on the subject of eternal security... It is quite powerful what His word has to say :)
____________________________________________________
2 Timothy 2:11-13 
11 "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself..

we can see that verse 11, shows that if we die with him (believing and accepting what he did on the cross) we shall also live with him. In the next verse (12) it talks about us being able to reign if we suffer Then it says if we deny him he will deny us... 
This might be tricky for some, but it is really simple in understanding what we would be denied (our reward to reign with Christ: I Cor 3:13-15) you figure this one out by having the colons, which represent a break into another thought. 

But even better that shows we have eternal security in Christ even if we were to no longer believe him for whatever reason look at v.13 - "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself"

When we accept Christ as our savior we believe on his work and faithfulness not ours, for our faith is weak and wavering. If it was based on our faith, we would be poor fellows.

A supportive verse to this fact that it is based on Him and not us is Titus 3:5
__________________________________________________
more verses showing that Christians cannot lose their salvation:
Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise..."

and what is that holy spirit of promise??? 
v14 "Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

It is a promise that we are sealed by the holy Spirit which is our inheritance until redemption!

Ephesians 4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

We are SEALED till the day of redemption! showing there are no strings attached to it! :) what a wonderful thing.
___________________________________________________
Some verses that correlates with II tim 2:12 showing that we have a reward and that it can be destroyed...

I Cor 3:13-15 "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built there-upon, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD. If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer LOSS, BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire."

So if there is a Christian that is saved but holds no fruit or foundation, he will still be saved, BUT he will not receive a reward.

And to cap it all off
Romans 8:35-39
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"

In conclusion, I find this amazing what these very words say that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God,which in our Lord Jesus Christ! We also know that he will not deny himself, even if we were to no longer believe on him!

If we cannot be separated from the love of Christ, than surely we have Eternal security and can know without a doubt in our mind that no matter what happens in our life we are saved!


I am so thankful for God's almighty love. He is the most loving of of all things and the father thereof.

Staying open minded, but maintaining what is truth with evidence!

Wow, I have not sent an info message in so long... well here is a great article that i thought ya'll should read!
It is essentially about not holding a closed mind either through blind (ignorant) belief or being puffed up in knowledge (arrogance) on a subject.
I thought it was great and it was something that we all need to work on.
Here it is: Intellectual Maturity: Rising Above Misinformation

What is a Constitutional Census?

After the recent Census that was taken and some of the interesting information I have gathered, I have come to a realization according to the Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution that the only information that is required by law to be gathered is the number of individuals living in the household. If you gave any more information from that you are doing it outside of the constitution and law, therefore giving away your privacy. Such things of you giving away your privacy would including your name, number, ethnicity, and other information.

Here is a great article on the subject...

I do wish I would have known this information beforehand but i just have recently learned this by reading through articles and messages. I will be sending my information on how many people are in my household (1) and nothing more in information as it is the only thing stated in the constitution for gathered information. The reason for this is to accurately figure out how many representatives are to be representing that state.

So come 2020 I will probably be going out to people's houses telling them what they are required by the constitution to do with the census.

So when you own your home or rent a place remember the only thing you are REQUIRED to fill out is the number of people in the residence all other information IS VOLUNTARY!

Know your rights!

The group Flex Your Rights is a group that I have always enjoyed watching their videos for insightful information on dealing with police. I have watched a very recent video they have put up called 10 Rules for Dealing with Police, its about 35minutes long giving well instructed information on how to deal with police encounters. I knew almost all of the information they had talked about except one thing; I am not required to hold an I.D. on me while walking around! Hope you enjoy the video!

A short week in Milwaukee...

     Well, I have visited my hometown for a 2nd spring break during Resurrection day only because I was lucky enough to not have any work up in Green Bay (Thursday night - Monday afternoon). And I thank God for having this opportunity to visit friends, family, and fellow believers.


     During my time in the Milwaukee I was able to visit my cousins, friends from churches, and school. And I ended up inviting them for a Monday afternoon cookout/get-together. Although I didn't think about inviting my family's church friends till Sunday afternoon, I did invite them because I only see them at church and church events, when I also wish to see them outside of church events more often to get closer to them and knowing them more.


There are a lot of reasons why I wish to do this:
1) First being, I love them and like hanging out with them. 
2)Another is I have interests in many possible future wives... (note: I love being single too as I have lots of freedom)
3)also I wish to get to know their (both genders) views and personality
4)And lastly, becoming closer to them allows them to understand me and my views. I have wanted to show some individuals things, but no opportunity has seemed to arise. 


     When I see people I wish to show them the things I know so badly, but because of Brainwashing by Corporate media and Government Schools they become more quick to judge on the label than eager to understand an alternative view, finally come to an objective conclusion whether it be acceptable/true or not. As a result of this, when I talk on certain topics, it results me being labeled a "radical", or "extremist" as I have been called by members of my family church and some individuals of my family... This is only because: 
1)they do not wish to listen to what i have to say... 
2)have heard (by corporate media) that people who believe what I believe are lunatics and radicals without backing it up with objective reasons why.
3)have not done any studying or research in the subject 
4) They are simply Closed minded
5) They are programmed to judge very quickly on little to no information on the subject.


And because of these things the only way to speak on "touchy" topics to an average normal brainwashed American is by a strong friendship and trust. It seems there is almost no other way, but to become an influential character by friendship.
     However the de-brainwashed/unique American will listen even what a stranger has to say and will not judge as quickly. They will then either agree with the person or disagree and explain why (if time permits).


I am here on this Earth to spread the truth, and nothing more. And the truth is found through reasoning and debates. And as Thomas Jefferson says, "Truth is the highest form of patriotism"


Here is a recent good youtube vid I have watched
Here is an awesome song I like. Don't like the lyrics, just like the beat for this one


P.S. any ladies that have interest in me, I suggest that you mention (preferably) in person you have read this, or that you read my blogs . It is even more interesting if you comment, make a remarks or, disagree (and state good reasons why). By stating that you read or listen to what I have to say not only inspires me as I know someone reads what I have to say, but also It will probably give me more interest in you as I seek a Christian woman who will at least listen to what I have to say and if in disagreement state why.

Campaign for Liberty Meeting

I was at the Campaign for Liberty conference and thought that you guys should be there too! how? by just watching the recorded videos online! : )
People you might know such as Richard Church, Yuri Maltsev, Ken Van Doren, and Terri McCormick was there.
Richard Church is a Grace Preacher from friendship that I know
Yuri Maltsev is a Austrian Economist that I might and start to follow to learn more of Austrian Economics and History of Economic Thought.
Terri McCormick who I will be supporting as she is holds many values dear to me and it will get Steve Kagen out of office!

This is the beginning of the Conference
If you go here, you can watch all of the videos.

I always find interest in the link between freedom, love, and our Lord Jesus Christ, in these are all interconnected with each other!
