21 | No obedience necessary? | 2 Thess 1:8 | sniper | 79419 | ||
I am asking, that to fully understand this question, you review post 79367. Does 2 Thess 1:8 (dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.) mean that we dont have to obey to be saved? In looking back to verse 7, what does it mean to have Jesus revealed in flaming fire dealing out retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus? |

22 | No obedience necessary? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 79418 | ||
Searcher, I honestly don't even think your post deserves a response. You can't be serious, but I am going to pose this question to the forum. In fact, since once again a valuable discussion (which may have been in danger of convincing some) has been removed from the main page, I feel as though I am safe in telling you that you are being dishonest with your interpretation. To pick just one of the verses I quoted, does 2 Thess 1:8 (dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.) mean that we dont have to obey to be saved? In looking back to verse 7, what does it mean to have Jesus revealed in flaming fire dealing out retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus? I hope you really are searching.

Searcher 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Heb 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. ...

Tim, I wonder why you insist on misunderstanding. I hope that you don't do it on purpose. No one has ever suggested that the saving power is in the work. We all agree on where the saving power is. However, God does require obedience to his word, commands, gospel. This appears to be where the disagreement really is. God bless |

Disciplerami, That is an amazing list. 54 versions with the same translation! I was just as amazed to see the reaction to the list. One who posts here stated that the translations have failed us! Is it possible that all the scholars who translated those many versions were all wrong? God bless. |

Disciplerami, Thanks for all the work you put into that answer, I sincerely appreciate it. I agree that God has made himself known to all men so that they are without excuse. Is it possible in any scenario, given all you have said about God being evident to all men, that God could withhold salvation from some simply because he desires to do so? In other words, since all men have the natural ability to detect the Creator is it possible that God simply will not save some because it his soveriegn right? In such a case would that man be without excuse, or would he have the excuse that God never sparked him with the Holy Spirit? God Bless. |

Jane Doe, Thank you for your thoughts, and do not be discouraged by those who will oppose you. Many will misunderstand and think that you are advocating a 'works salvation'. There are some out here who understand that it is God's grace in the form of Jesus Christ that saves a person who obeys the gospel. Keep standing for the truth and you will convince some with it. God Bless. |

34 | Oughtness? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78939 | ||
Disciplerami, Alright, we are pretty much eye to eye here. I need some more clarification on the oughtness. If oughtness is a built sense, and if oughtness is a measure of faith, did God build faith into man? Is this a result of being created in the image of God, a thinking, reasoning being? God bless. |
||||||
35 | Belief in God? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78902 | ||
Disciplerami, I definitely think that for a person to know that there is a God to be sought after, they must have faith. The faith is only alive if they seek, right? For instance, the one who makes an idol has faith, but it is misplaced and not seeking. Therefore, it is a dead faith. Am I thinking correctly? Also, could you give me a definition of oughtness? Thanks and God bless. |

Disciplerami, You stated in one of your posts that men ought to know God. I cannot find that post so I am working from memory. The person with whom you were discussing the question at hand replied that 'ought to know' is not faith. My question arises partly from this exchange. If a person ought to know God, then by what evidence or revelation ought they know Him? And, if they know Him by these and are led to seek for Him, is that faith? Is the act of seeking for God considered faith. If there are two in a remote wilderness and one makes an idol while the other searches for a higher being, then does one know God while the other does not? If there are two in the USA and one is an atheist while the other searches for the truth, then does one know God while the other does not? The Bible teaches that men ought to know God. So back to the question; If men ought to know God, then is it faith which leads them to Him no matter their geographical, academic,or philosophical starting point? God bless. |

Ngop, If a person knows that there is a God, then don't they believe that there is a God? On the one hand you say that it takes a revelation from God Himself to believe that there is a God, but on the other hand you say that one can know there is a God by looking around. Maybe I am misunderstanding your point. Do you also consider creation to be revelation from God Himself? If so, then it makes sense to me. As for Darwin's theory, I don't consider that evidence. It is a theory. What is the evidence that there is a God? Does it take faith to believe in Darwin's theory; does it take faith to believe that there is a God who created all? About the individual in the wilderness, I understand that they must hear the gospel from one who is preaching it. But, what leads them to believe that there is a God to search for on the first place? Does it take faith to believe that all the world around them points to a higher being? God bless. |

What does it take to believe that there is a God? How does one know that there is a God? Other than philosophical arguments what is the evidence that there is God? How does a person born in the most remote wilderness know that there is a God to be sought after? Does it ultimately come down to faith? | ||||||
