Subject: When do we become sinners? |
Bible Note: Nolan, we are nowhere near a deeper issue!!! These arguments are referred to in most circles as BASIC Christianity. Anyone can understand that it is God who saves and not us who save ourselves. Again Basic Christianity. For example: For by grace you have been saved, not of works, lest any man boast. For it does not depend on the man who wills, or runs, but on God who has mercy on whom He will have mercy. It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. Nolan, "go and learn what this means, I desire compassion and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call the righteous, BUT SINNERS (emphasis and paraphrasing is mine). None come unto the Father unless I first call them. For I am confident that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN You will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. Nolan, it is you and Tim who opened this can of worms about infants and the age of accountability. Every reply I've given you is towards that discussion. My last reply was repeating your belief, using your words, are you ashamed of them? Nolan, we both believe God saves infants, I'm asking you to defend yours with Scripture. I believe you can, as I alluded to in my earlier reply. But where in scripture is there state of moral neutrality for anyone? And if there is not one, then again, it is that God chooses whom he will have mercy on! Nolan, if this next reply is like your last one, then I must say good bye to this subject and move on. But let me say that you are forever my brother in Christ, for it is he that will keep us from harms way! --JCP |
