1 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Emmaus | 88424 | ||
Tim, "Sir, now if I am a born again son of God and I am, I have the fruits and faith to prove it, and I get drunk, lie to the IRS, have sex with my daughter, commit adultery with my neighbor, and kill her husband and then finally commit suicide." (Can these sins, indicated above, be compatible with the "fruits and faith"?) "Most religious leaders of the day would say I am lost! The bible says because of my faith I am righteous! Praise God I do not desire to go through the chastisement my Father would put me through for committing these sins, clearly they would not be without consequence." Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolater, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor theives, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor reveilers, nor robbers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And some such WERE some of you...! 1 Cor 6:9-11. (not ARE some of you) It seems to me unlikely and unscriptural that we can have it both ways; continuing to live like citizens of hell with confidence that we are citizens of heaven. That would seem to be a vain confidence indeed. We may not be save by our works but we may, it appears, be damned by them. Emmaus |

Not works! My case in point! THINK ABOUT IT IF GOT DRUNK AND HAD SEX WITH MY DAUGHTEWR YOU WOULD THINK I WAS NOT RIGHIOUS, BUT YOU SAY THAT LOT IS RIGHTIOUS BY GRACE! I would be condemned to hell, but Lot is righteous. Your theology and all works based theology have this serious hole in it. Just because MOST people believe that works keep you saved, which is a direct contradiction to the bible, does mot mean they are right. Grace is the ONLY thing going to get you into heaven, your works are filthy rags. When you die and the Father asks you why should I let you into Heaven? If your answer is anything but by the blood of Jesus Christ, YOU MAY HAVE A RUDE AWAKENING! Love, Tim P.S. I am not condoning sin, I am defining Faith and righteousness as the bible teaches. Sin was dealt with 2,000 years ago, I believe it and that settles it! |

Tim, Do not make the mistake of thinking that we understand faith and grace in exactly the same way. For a full exposition of what I believe about justification, grace,faith and works you can go to the link below. You may be surprised to see where we agree, but where we diverge in belief will also be made clear. It will take a little time, but I think you may find it worth while and enlightening. Keep in mind specifically when works are discussed that works in Christ are not the same as works outside of Christ. http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/TRENT6.HTM Emmaus |
