1 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | Ray | 145550 | ||
Hi Kalos, I sense that the love of Christ is not in control in our dealings with each other. May God have mercy on us all. Romans 11:32, "For God has shut up all in disobedience that **He might show mercy to all." 2 Corinthians 5:14, NKJ, "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge this: that if **One died for all, therefore all died." Although God has grouped us all together as sinners, I trust that the love of Christ can bind us together as believers in the One who died for us and shows us mercy. From the heart, Ray |

2 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | Hank | 145560 | ||
Ray ::: It is impossible for me to see what direct role "the love of Christ" plays in an honest disagreement between two men on how a word should be translated. Do you not feel it more noble to address the issue itself instead of resorting to innuendo bordering on ad hominem about "the love of Christ," which seems to be loading the issue with extraneous baggage. Sorry, Ray, but I must be honest: your post to Kalos strikes me as being well below your normative standards. --Hank | ||||||
3 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | Ray | 145573 | ||
Hi Hank, You are right. The post was below my standards. I guess I wanted to show that we are not necessarily "controlled" by Christ. I, too, am a sinner and bound over to disobedience like everyone else. I, too can express an unloving attitude. Yet, in contrast, I expressed the fact that the love of Christ binds us together. The post was not absent of content for addressing the disagreement between us. Romans 11:32 has "shut up all" which is #4788 from 4862 and 2808, to shut together. 2 Corinthians 5:14 has "compels", #4912 from 4862 and 2192, to hold together. Both words are from #4862, with, together with. So my point is that we are shut up TOGETHER in sin (there is none righteous, not one), and we are bound TOGETHER in the love of Christ. 1) You have to understand that this discussion of "control", especially by the Holy Spirit, has been going on for four years, since my beginning days on the forum. I have tried to tell Kalos, "Hey, we have got to talk" for some time now. I thought it was time we cleared the air again. From the heart, Ray |
