Dear Flyman, can we stop this nonsense? You have to see that what you are proposing is ridiculous. Do you not? The context of the Scripture in the original post is God first and then everything else. I would not dare stand before our God and try to explain why I had forsaken my wife and family when He has given me the responsibility to care for them. Would you? (1Peter 3:7 / Ephesians 6:4) He's giving us the command to love Him first then love others. How is forsaking others loving them? God does not contradict Himself. If your theory, and that is simply what it is flyman, a theory, has Scripture contradicting Scripture, then your theory is wrong. It is not that difficult to see, should you desire to actually see. To answer your questions concerning my family: I love them dearly, would give my life for theirs, but they are second to God. They know that. I've told them that and I've taught them to do the same. God first. Your theory has God only and that my friend was never commanded by God. Matthew 22:36-40: 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." How do I do it you ask? By the grace of God. He actually does it, so don't give me any of His glory. Let go of your stubbornness and see how God desires you to live through a true evaluation of His Word. He demands that He is first in your life flyman, but Jesus didn't suffer and die to save Himself. He did that for us. You have to see the value He places on us in doing that. Do you really think he wants us to abandon everyone else? If you do, then please explain why you think He sent us a Savior to begin with. Then explain why even His angels minister to us. Why are we to forsake each other and everything when God Himself won't do it to us? Hebrews 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Stand in His grace, WOS |

Flyman, I wouldn't want anything you have posted deleted. I do think the questions you have asked are important. That's why I answered them? (post 212268). Did you not see it or read it? I'm listening to you flyman. I hope your listening as well. Not just to me, but to the others that have responded too. Stand in His grace, WOS |

You'll have to take that up with whomever is responsible for deleting them. It surely wasn't me. And I truly don't appreciate the false accusations. If you have a problem with my post flyman and wish to no longer correspond, just say so. All I was trying to do was help you. If you don't want it, I'll respect your wishes and stop offering. But please stop accusing me of something I didn't do. WOS |

Vintage, But isn’t the “moral” of the parable akin to “if you can’t handle worldly riches how can you be trusted with true riches, those spiritual riches bestowed upon you by God”? “The riches of this world are the less; grace and glory are the greater. Now if we be unfaithful in the less, if we use the things of this world to other purposes than those for which they were given us, it may justly be feared that we should be so in the gifts of God's grace, that we should receive them also in vain, and therefore they will be denied us: He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. He that serves God, and does good, with his money, will serve God, and do good, with the more noble and valuable talents of wisdom and grace, and spiritual gifts, and the earnests of heaven; but he that buries the one talent of this world's wealth will never improve the five talents of spiritual riches.” – Matthew Henry Stand in His grace, WOS |

Dear winningside, Philippians 1:6 (NASB) For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. John 6:39 (NASB) "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (NASB) 21Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. 1 Peter 1:3-5 (NASB) 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. John 10:27-29 (NIV) 27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. John 17:6-11 (NIV) 6"I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. Considering the last passage I quoted: Do you really believe God will not answer that prayer of His Son? WOS |

Salvation is only "cultivated" through God. If you think your salvation is dependant on anything you do, you are surely mistaken. You use a bunch of “we” in your post. Unless your "we" includes God... You sure do lessen His Word when He tells you it is eternal. I'm not one to argue with Him. I'll let another do that. WOS |

Scoop715, I don't believe at the Great White Throne judgment, there will be any believers. But at Christ's judgment seat, we will have to give an account. But once there, that's it. You misunderstand the judgments my friend. The Judgment Seat of Christ. The first of these will be the judgment of the believer’s works, called “The Judgment Seat of Christ.” For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10). For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). Revelation 20:12-15 depicts the Great White Throne Judgement. No believer will be judged at that day as the final judgment is reserved for all who rejected the Lord Jesus Christ on earth. WOS |

I specifically asked you four questions and you didn’t respond to one of them. Are you avoiding? I’ll re-post: How is worshipping Christ vile in your eyes my friend? How many more references can you make to worshipping Christ as a vile act? Is He your Lord and Savior? Is worshipping Him vile on any day, or just December 25th? Please explain. In all honesty, I’m trying to figure why you keep the position that it is vile to worship Christ. I would very much like for you to enlighten me, when, in your opinion may I worship my Lord? WOS |

atdcross, What is it that causes one to make the reversal you mention? You make it sound as if we do this on our own. Your definition of repentance completely leaves out God's grace and mercy. Where in your definition is Godly sorrow? 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. “Humiliation and godly sorrow are previously necessary in order to repentance, and both of them are from God, the giver of all grace.” – Matthew Henry WOS |

I apologize then atdcross, because in your brevity, it seemed to me that you misrepresented God’s Word and what repentance truly is, although I’m sure that wasn’t your intent. Your post basically stated that after acknowledgment, obedience “is” repentance and that my friend, simply isn’t true. It is most assuredly part of it, but not “it”. I’m sure you are well aware of false repentance in which we have worldly sorrow that is merely a regret for the consequences of sin. 2 Corinthians 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death. As well I’m sure you are aware of Godly sorrow which leads to repentance unto life in which we understand that sin is wrong and not just because of the unfavorable results it may produce, but because we truly, in honoring God, want to be free of sin and its bondage. Romans 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Verse 25 answers this. Concerning true repentance, we understand the repulsiveness of sin as an offense against God, and the wonders of grace, which show the mercy of redemption through Christ and then endeavor after obedience. When one repents unto life there is an intellectual change, an emotional change and as well a volitional change. If obedience is repentance then there is no need for repentance once we do repent because we are obedient and you and I both know that is not the case. Repentance is to be present both in the sinner as he is brought to Christ, and in the believer confronted with his continuing sins. It is not necessarily a one time event and then we become obedient in full. WOS |

…”for confession of sin is to be made to God, against whom it is committed, and who only can pardon: and a man that truly confesses his sin is one that the Spirit of God has convinced of it, and has shown him its exceeding sinfulness, and filled him with a godly sorrow for it, and given him repentance unto salvation, that needeth not to be repented of; and who, under such a sight and sense of sin, and concern for it, comes and acknowledges it before the Lord, humbly imploring, for Christ's sake, his pardoning grace and mercy; and such obtain it:” -- John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible 2Corinthians 7:10,11 10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? WOS |

I disagree with your second comment. Repentance unto life is derived from the Holy Spirit who is convicting us of our sin. It is a divine grace given upon regeneration. How does He do that to an unbeliever? Or are you suggesting that there is repentance unto life before regeneration? WOS |

40 | Are these essentials for Salvation? | Bible general Archive 3 | Wild Olive Shoot | 167598 | ||
Okay atdcross, I’ll play along I guess. Answer either of my original questions which were, and I’ll repost: “I disagree with your second comment. Repentance unto life is derived from the Holy Spirit who is convicting us of our sin. It is a divine grace given upon regeneration. How does He do that to an unbeliever? Or are you suggesting that there is repentance unto life before regeneration?” Or answer either of the questions you “think” I’m asking. Maybe that will suffice. You stated: “there is no difference between what is required from believer or unbeliever with respect to the act of repentance.” I’m simply asking you to clarify that statement for me. Maybe tell me what in your estimation is “required” because as I see it, repentance requires faith. So how can an “unbeliever” truly repent. Repentance unto life would come after regeneration and at that point, belief is implied. I’m afraid if I attempt to simplify the questions for you, they will only get more difficult to understand, although I have to admit, they seemed pretty simple and straightforward until you read into them something that was not there.
