Absolutely! And I would take it one step further, We will wash one another's feet. "Humblely caring for one another in a way we be our brothers keeper as we walk through the filth of this world and pick up it's ways. We are to restore such a person as seen here in Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
God bless.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: (This is the word of God - not an opinion)
Romans 6:15-23 (verse 18) Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (comment-What if you die suddenly while committing one of the above)
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. ( There is a difference in a fault and willful sin)
Revelation 3:2. Thank you for the opportunities to communicate through written comments to some of you. Thank you for the website Agape.
Please see context: Deuteronomy 10:16, Deuteronomy 30:6, even in old testament men have argued their holiness, set apart status, (in the flesh) yet GOD said even then; it's about the heart. Jeremiah 4:4, Jeremiah 9:25, = Romans 2:29, Romans 3:30, Romans 4:11, 1Corinthians 7:18,
Galatians 3:28,
They were still arguing circumcision, not equality in GOD. Acts 11:2, Galatians 2:12,
New= 2Corinthians 5:17,
Hopefully these are helpful
Galatians 6:9 states never to give up: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap a harvest, if we do not give up." Despite your age and the challenges you may face taking care of these little ones, God promises to give you a harvest for doing good. I understand these two children are not your biological children but God wants to entrust them to you. Pray for strength and God's intervention in this situation. Please don't forgo this blessing. God bless you.
Romans 8, Hebrews 4:12,
Warning, 1Timothy 4:1,
1John 4:1-11, 1John 4,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study of your spirit & flesh; (body)
corruptly. we cannot lose our spirit which is God given, but you can turn away from the grace of God and decide or be tricked to walking by the flesh and become useless to GOD. iN 1jOHN ITS CALLED THE LUST OF THE FLESH AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE. So
basically what you sew is what you reap either of the flesh or of the spirit. Remember in the gospels Jesus christ said those who
really believe from the heart Romans 10;9=10 none will be lost why because we have been bought back. God is not an indian giver and He keeps his word. Keep something in mind its called gift of holy spirit so when understood correctly we operate it by our freedom of will because God is not a control freak that the other dude and he does it by manipulation. When someone says to me God made me its never the true God. Prayerfully this helps.
To be saved by grace would mean God decides our salvation, not us.
For we can't save ourselves but we must try believing grace will abound.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ( Revelation 2:26)
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ( James 4:7)
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, ( Revelation 2:7)
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. ( James 1:12)
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us ( 1 Peter 3:19-21)
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. ( Galatians 6:2)
John 6:37 would be one of many verses that would show the permanency of salvation. I believe in the permanency of salvation because I am trusting in the one who saved me and the one who has promised to keep me saved until the day of redemption.

Revelation 2:10 "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
Matthew 12:32 "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
Matthew 7:21-23
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"
James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."
James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Important to read all scripture in its full context, not just cherry pick. When reading in context its obvious from countless passages, parables, teachings that God wants us to obey him! Satan deceives believers into assuming doing evil is ok; it's not.
We get that question a lot.
That question is the source of a lot of debates and division for years.
For me here is a couple of reasons why I no longer like to answer those"original" posts directly.
1) In a way it is like a person asking "if you commit suicide will you go to Heaven?" I am cautious to give an answer to that: afraid of what one might do with that information.
( It can prompt one to continue in sin.)
2) Some ask that question rhetorically. ( Looking for a debate )
You asked for "scripture" on once saved always saved ".Please Forgive me for asking is that a rhetorical question?
However, To be cautious in my answer I would say examine by what means where you saved and your answer lies there.
I can not loose my salvation because I have a great Shepherd who layed down his life for me and calls me by name!! "He said he will never say to me I never knew you!" And he said "no man or myself can pluck me out of his hand!
John 10:28-29.
This same Shepherd said he will NEVER leave or forsake me and he would abide with me forever.
Hebrews 13:5.
John 14:16.
He will NEVER leave or forsake me and he would abide with me forever!!
Now notice John 14:17.
" Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; FOR HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, AND
( SHALL BE IN YOU )
He shall be in me and he shall never leave or forsake me!
In order for us who are "TRULY" saved to loose our salvation; Christ would have to be able to loose his salvation.
Colossians 3:3.
Examine ourselves and by what means you were saved and the answer lies there.
God bless.
Proverbs 16:5 - Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 29:23 - A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Galatians 6:3 - For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Proverbs 27:2 - Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
Proverbs 26:12 - Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Jeremiah 9:23 - Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Mark 7
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
This is my understanding, please study and let the Holy Spirit help you come to your understanding.
The people in Thessalonica were questioning things and had concerns about the second coming of Jesus. Paul, in first and second Thessalonians, was responding to Timothy's report on the church there. In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul told them that Jesus would not return until two things happened "for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;".
What is this falling away, apostasia; meaning defection, revolt, to leave, or depart? To be one of the two things that Paul lists that will happen before Jesus returns it must be of a large scale, not some gradual departure.
In Revelation 3:10 there is the hour of temptation that will come on all the world. In 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion. God will not keep us from being tempted but keep us by giving us the strength in our faith not to surrender to it. This temptation comes upon all the world including the believers in Christ if we are still alive, if we are living, we will face this, Revelation 13:9-15
Jesus said these words, Matt. 10,16 Mark 8 and Luke 9, Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it, to me fits this very time that is coming.
Romans 8:17-18 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
"Here is the patience and the faith of the saints".
God bless,

"There's A Great Day Coming By & BY"
Matt. 11: 28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Loving Father, I want to press on in my Christian life, to become more and more like the Lord Jesus. I know thatit will require me to put my hand to the plough and press on, with the patient endurance that only comes from You. I pray thatI may not lose heart or grow weary in doing the good works that You have prepared for me to do. Thank You that in due time I may reap a fruitful reward, if I do not give up. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Sometimes, when we are over-burdened with problems, all that we have to share with another are only our problems & very little else. So your friend might be feeling that all she hears from you are your issues only & sees you in great anxiety or overly depressed because of them. And this might in turn depress her, hence her reaction. In many cases, the person with a huge problem isn't able to think clearly through it (its cause, ways to deal with it, support from others, etc.). That's where 'a friend' needs to be able to really listen & help you work through it & always be there for you. Often, your pastor or Christian counsellor can listen attentively & give good advice & also follow-up. The main thing, is for you to re-gain your peace in heart & mind from the Lord, hang onto Him in both your good & bad times, read His Word, & not give up. He has blessed each one of us with life, life to be lived for Him. So the Author of Life will certainly be with those whose trust rests only in Him. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" ( Psalm 30:5). May the Lord guide you very specially in your concerns & help you live above them, looking for His Arm to work mightily on your behalf.
Sometimes we can feel so 'dry' spiritually and maybe other ways as well, physically; mentally; emotionally; financially; and it could be (At times) because we have not been 'watering' others. If or when we do; God will SEE TO IT that WE get 'watered' as well. So I think it was good that you prayed for people on here John.
And you are so right, we can get so caught up thinking, "I can't help that person; I don't have lots of money or lots of time or lots of ANYTHING...so I won't DO anything." But so often, it really IS the seemingly small things that we do for each other (IF we do them) that blesses them the most. Most of us don't NEED a million dollars; or NEED massive amounts of help, but just SOMETHING to remind us that we are not lost in the crowd; something that encourages our hearts and our spirits to keep going on. And maybe God is using your situation...NO....God IS using your situation John for SOME kind of good that you nor others might see yet. God may be teaching YOU something but He may also be teaching OTHERS something by what you are going through and HOW you go through it.
May The Lord be lifted up and magnified and glorified through you John and through what you are going through, and the Godly way; by HIS grace; that you go through it. All glory; honor; and praise to The Lord in ALL things.
Take care John; God bless.
It's a great pity and shame that so MANY things are done by computer now and not on paper. What was SUPPOSED to 'make things easier' actually has made EVERYTHING so MUCH more complicated.
I feel bad if you have to donate blood to make money. The church in America and maybe worldwide is in a complete shambles.
There ARE yet REAL churches that minister Biblically; and know how to be there for those in need; but it's getting more rare every day; I'm very grieved that so far no one has stepped up to the plate to help you John. But as you know, God will NEVER fail you; even when it APPEARS that He is. He won't.
I think it's totally awesome that you are there for your ex-wife; and that you are so 'others-minded'; as Christ His Self is; and as He wants ALL of us to be.
I pray that God will make a way where there SEEMS to be NO way; BOTH for you with your financial/home situation and for your ex-wife. I pray God will send people to both of you to minister to you; ONLY those who are TRULY of God; NO ONE that will try to rip you off in any way...I HATE to even WRITE this; but sadly; you and all of us must be on guard a little for such things. We have to ask God for His wisdom and discernment in who we look to for help.
I, and I'm SURE that so MANY others on here John; those that may not respond to you at all; are in fact thinking of you; remembering you in prayer and your wife as well; and above all; JESUS CHRIST 'EVER LIVES TO MAKE INTERCESSION' for YOU John; for your wife; for ALL of His children. Please hold fast to that truth John; as you are tested in The Faith.
Take care John; and please, as you are able to; stay in touch with all of us. May The Lord bless you; comfort you; strengthen you in The Faith; and cause you (And all of us) to BE "MORE THAN conquerors" through Christ
By the way; I'm TERRIBLE with technology so PLEASE don't feel bad; you're doing fine.
I am sorry that it seems imminent that you WILL be homeless. I wish I could help you in some tangible way.
Are there ANY organizations anywhere around you John; any 'Rescue Missions" or outreaches; even a YMCA type place that you could call to see if you could stay in one of them if in fact you are displaced from your home?
I'm VERY sorry John that no one has reached out to offer you help. I hear this so VERY frequently with people John; and it breaks my heart. I think people have become selfish...as God says in His Word would happen in the end-times...and others are overwhelmed I think with so many problems themselves. Or; we tend to believe, erroneously most times; that "Someone else will help".
God hears you John; He sees you; His loving and caring eyes are EVER upon you; and He WILL help; though He MAY not help in the ways we THINK He will; but the bottom line is, HE WILL.
Right now though John; I just lift BOTH you; and the woman you have cared for up before The Lord; and I ask Him to come alongside; to assist you; to help you to do what He knows is best for BOTH of you; AND to let all that is beyond your control be put permanently into His capable hands and to trust Him to work it all out; in His way; in His time. May He grant you His wisdom; His discernment; His counsel; His peace that passes ALL understanding; and cause you to not be UNDER these circumstances but to be ABOVE them; and may He be with the woman; minister to her mind, heart, soul, spirit, and body; and keep her safe from harm; and have His perfect will in her. I'll check back again to see if you've responded and if there is anything else I can do. Just know you are NOT FORGOTTEN; nor the woman.
Genesis 6:6 And today we are the chosen one too set thing in order. Example 1 Peter 2:6 John 14:6 Make ppl see Jesus Christ only in Him thru The Holy Goust can we see God. Many see a different God today, but are driven away, becouse of the eval who is in them and the eval in the spiritual world, who every one not see. Ephesians 6:12-19 W e all need to come thru in Jesus.
I know nice ppl who have going too church for 40 years and they have the holy spirit in one way, but are bounded in television and work. I belive that God have a place for them. What i try to tell is: Not everybody sees the Spirit of the Holy. And remember we have all different work in the Lord. 1 Corintihans 12 And in that the eval can grow if they dont stop it by a gift they have. A friend may se it and pray to stop it.
Galatians 6:2
Thats why Paul continue to tell us, dont give up! We must be standfast in the Word of God and dont complane. And Love Jesus and all ppl, and rases.
God bless us all in Jesus name, love u in Christ
