Bible Note: userdoe220: I'm sorry to say that I really can't recall the voice and attitude of Jesus, nor the new testament teachers, in the OSAS professer's claims. Where can you find the same attitude as in the following verses in their claims? Lk 3:8 "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones." Or if it would have been written in our times: Lk 3:8 (Paraphrase) "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have 'truly been born again'.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones." Acts 24:16: "This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men." Should'nt we all have the same striving? Phil 1:9-11: And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Should we or should we not "be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ"? 1 Thess 5:23: "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Is Paul just boxing in the air or is he serious? Should we or should we not be "preserved blameless"? May the power of grace be with you in holiness in Jesus name! |
