21 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | inhisname | 79830 | ||
If theologians and authors and preachers accurately teach faith only I'll listen. But if they then teach, btw, you must do obedience, then they are contradicting. I'm different as a Christian but I'm not working. I don't need to. God does it. If it was me then it wouldn't be to God's glory, it would be to mine. I don't have faith, it is God's faith. Everything is God's. Isn't that what Ephesians 2 says? I think so. |

22 | Continue in sin that grace may abound? | Gen 4:7 | inhisname | 79828 | ||
This Romans 9:22 refers back to 9:17, For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." Sorry I didn't put that. God raises some men up just to destroy them. He is Sovereign. Chances are they would have been lost anyway. |

Do you REALLY have free will or is it the carnal nature that wants to control things? There is an answer for these things. The Eccles verse has to do with judgment? I will think about it. "God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing" Cain did a hidden thing, right? There is an answer for everything. Would God judge him if he was evil seed? Cain only did from his nature. But God is just and cannot put up with sin. So God is just to punish Cain for sin. It is a mystery of God and shouldn't be questioned. He is the Potter! blessings inhisname |

The point the other character attempts to make is that I am against God's law. Maybe I shouldn't mention Calvin. Is that what 'hmmmmmm?' means? | ||||||

"But not until faith acts according to the Word. Again faith without works is dead. Obedience by faith is the avenue God chose to bless His people." This makes sense to one side of me but not to the other--I can't explain what I mean. But in/since faith alone is true then faith plus works can't be. If faith alone is true, works are not necessary. Maybe I'm too simple to understand your point. |

You call me antinomian? Like I'm against God's law? What law do you believe in? I don't see John Piper in the Bible. I don't see Jerry Bridges in the Bible. I don't see Charles Spurgeon in the Bible. I don't see J.C. Ryle in the Bible. I don't see Westminister Catechism in the Bible. I quoted Bible and don't think I should be attacked by these people. I gave you Paul. To God be the glory. I don't need writings of man to define what I believe. blessings inhisname |

Scripture? "Not of works that any should boast" You asked for Scripture and I gave it. I think we are very much alike. We both believe that a person cannot repent, do good, confess Christ, love, hope, sacrifice, etc so how do you not understand that I'm saying what you are saying. I'm not saying that Christians aren't different from sinners. Christians can't sin and they can't lose their salvation. This work of God is only possible with God's help all the way. He does it all. I answered your past post the way I did because I thought you were a believer in the Sovereign God. But now you say, "train your children to be servants of God." A true understanding of Scripture shows this is folly. God trains, God does, God moves. The unregenerate can't do anything spiritual, but the regenerate can do everything spiritual. Holy Spirit baptism brings instant salvation and knowledge through tongues and prophecy. The Bible is readable by the unregenerate but completely not understandable. But when given a new heart, the Holy Spirit did this, then reading brings understanding. Suddenly, miraculously, you start confessing and changing. blessings inhisname The truly born again can't DO sin. He therefore can only DO right. God is doing that! |

29 | Are all sins equal and delt with the sam | Matt 5:28 | inhisname | 79712 | ||
I agree with your post and have no disagreement. Except where you say "one needs to" I have to question. Because that sounds like works. If I tell someone about Grace and then start saying "one needs to" I afraid he might get the wrong idea. So this is difficult. But you make very good points. blessings inhisname |

That's right, God ordains that evil arises for his glory. And no He's not pleased with sinful ways. The good and the evil He does to bring about His glory. I don't know why you say I'm trying. I'm just here to talk about our common faith and salvation. The verses you mention cannot be a contradiction to the REALITY that God is sovereign. | ||||||

I will defer to what Joe has said on this. We are not the same but close on most beliefs. I think there is a way to search for his messages. blessings inhisname |

God does not sin and does not tempt. Only good comes from God. But each man is clay in His hand. But God hated Esau who did nothing wrong. And God propped up the Egyptian Pharaoh and hardened his heart. Pharaoh 'had' to do evil. He didn't have a 'choice' because that way people see the power of God and glorify Him. Doesn't his Sovereignty mean that He has all power? "the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords"-1Tim.6:15 I have so many people to answer. I don't know why. Calvinism is absolute truth. |

Yes, works. Ephesians 2 is the passage that comes to mind. It speaks of grace, and faith, and works. Grace at the Cross. Faith at the Holy Spirit baptism. The change looks like works is God's workmanship. Responsibility to me implies personal works and that emphasis doesn't give God the glory. I do not know why so many are writing me over this because I'm giving God the glory. There are more and I don't know if I can answer all. |

Exactly. Peter said the promise is for all Believers. They all instantly began preaching the Gospel with total recollection---Acts 2:42 is speaking of the total devotion God works in the new Christians. The Christian reads the Bible but that is God directing him. God is Sovereign. He is the author of salvation and completed the sinner's salvation at the cross. Then when He gets ready he draws the elect who is spiritually dumb until then. God matures him. I understand your point of discernment. That is necessary because we are at different places. |

You are nice to bless me, and I am a radical to some. You think my position is extreme? Maybe. You are right that the Bible uses the word obey but God is Sovereign. Don't you see that faith and works don't go together and faith without works is what saves? God makes me I don't make myself. Isn't that the idea of Him shaping the clay (Romans 9)? If I start teaching my family to work then I am telling them not to trust in God. He saves me by faith alone and by nothing else. He gives me faith and He renews me and He gives me repentance and he gives me obedience. He determined my path from the beginning. So I can't take credit and I won't. If you see me and think I am obeying I'm not. Like an invisible force field God is drawing me and controlling me. That's God. If works come then God is doing them. All I do is nothing, because God does it all. Read about the teaching of what is called election. Then you will see the truth. |

"With all due respect?" Have I not discussed the Bible? Have I not referenced Bible? Isn't Romans 10 verse 9 the plan of God to save? Did I not say that. God does it all, do you disagree? You did not answer my question "Abraham got righteousness by faith alone. Where are the works there?" by saying "Resulting from his saving faith". That means nothing to me, maybe you can explain it better. You cannot tell me that I'm saved without a work from first to last and then start telling me it's all about works. If you now expect a disciple to obey then you expect works. My understanding of Romans is that salvation is by faith only until death. I don't think you mean to suggest different. My humble opinion is you are misunderstandin me and caught. |

How could God not be pleased. If Cain does bad doesn't that give God a chance to show his power? Each man is molded by the Potter. The questions are rhetorical because Cain only did what he was made to do. God is the one and only Sovereign. I hope that you will see the error of this and thank you for trying. | ||||||

You misunderstand. A Christian is known because of his actions. So obvious is that. Does God save me before I do a work? Yes. Is salvation from first to last day by faith alone? Yes. Clearly you bark up the wrong pole. Abraham got righteousness by faith alone. Where are the works there? I think you are misunderstanding and caught. If I did the work then the glory would be to me. I don't want that. blessings inhisname |

That's obvious isn't it? This is a proof text to show that man is extremely vile and dead since he was born. Man is unlike any other of His creatures being with the disposition to do only evil. This PROVES why study is not important. I think you asked about ALL SCRIPTURE? It is from God, every word, but it is useless to the unelect. This is the way it is preached. Order of salvation is like this. Lost, Holy Spirit baptized, Saved. Then if you want to study you can but it's not necessary. Holy Spirit baptism takes care of that. God does only the works that He wants. He did not make all of us to be Paul? I don't think so. Does God give me the right understanding of this passage? |
