Subject: Can a Christian reject God's grace |
Bible Note: Jesusman, Yes, maybe I misunderstood the thread (trying to multitask, don't you know?), but I thought that's where we were heading - that God gives us the "will" to do His "desire." And His desire is for us to do that which is good in His sight. Therefore, if we are truly "saved" we won't do the things that are displeasing to Him - at least not knowingly and wilfully. As a born again believer I want nothing more than to please my Father - I can't believe that any other born again believer would want to displease Him. The only view I can take is that if there is someone who calls Yeshua Lord and does the things that bring shame to Him, they are not true sons of God, they are liars, playing the "religion game." They do not have a salvation for them or God to finsh (I see it as a joint venture, both, the Father and the son, are vested in it). Cheri |
