Bible Note: "To be technical about it, Jesus instituted the New Covenant at the Last Supper." To be really technical, he only wrote His will during this time of his life, but it went into force at His death. Hebrews 9 veses 15-17 says, "For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. FOR A COVENANT IS VALID ONLY WHEN MEN ARE DEAD, FOR IT IS NEVER IN FORCE WHILE THE ONE WHO MADE IT LIVES." If you deny this then I've got nothing else to say to you because it is clear. About the works you like to emphasize, God does them and not man. If they come, they come because God does them. No sense trying to do them. That's human effort. If they don't come then God didn't elect that person. God is glorified in both. You like to mention what God does and leave out the Philippians 2:13 which proves my point. "Why do you think all the New Testament writers instruct Christians to obey?" Because the word obey means believe and God gives me the belief. God tells me to work and He does the work. People talk about works and baptism but you have to admit if they don't do them then God didn't want them done. He only cares about faith which He gives as a gift. But emphasizing passages about obedience puts pressure on me to do, then where is the glory to God? That's all I can write. |
