1 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Emmaus | 91209 | ||
John, I would think Ken is referring to 2 Pet 1:4 "For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust " Emmaus |

2 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | John Reformed | 91226 | ||
Thanks Emmaus, I was waiting for him to offer a foundation for his arguement. I understand partaking of the divine nature as sharing in eternal life and glory, but not His divinity. Heb 5:13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. Does this make us milk? You get my point. Our friend Ken is skating on thin ice. John |

Not a chance! Consider you've just misread Paul, if he is the one who wrote Hebrews. Lets read it all: 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Now pay close attention to whats coming: 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles/elementary teachings of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms/washings-NASB, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. All elementary to Paul and you say, what? What perfection is he speaking of if it be not something we 'strive' for NOW having the same Spirit within as Jesus had? 1 JN.5.5 Who is he that "overcomes" the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? I believe the word "overcome" is what bothers you all. Want more? I've got more. |

2 Pet 1:4 "For by these He has granted to US His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you May BECOME partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust " Why don't read this real carefully. #1. Who's us? The 'just saved' who don't follow Christ as Lord, who are still wrapped in "self" or those who have abandoned their "self's" or are learning how to abandon their "selfs" to Christ? #2 What does "you MAY BECOME mean if it doesn't mean a future happening that is to begin happening NOW? That's what His precious promises are all about. It is a 'now' issue by having your senses perfected in HIM by the power of the Hol;y SPirit to function that He gave us on the day of Pentecost. Hmmmmm?...this is a very elementary teaching of Jesus Christ. |
