Christians are not sinners

[robert derrick]

"No one is able to come to me," for the bread of life or the water of life, apart from God's initiative convicting and calling, Joh_16:8-11; Rev_22:17.

I.e. no man has free will, because no man can decide of himself what to do with the call of God.

It is true no man can choose what to do with God according to their own will, because God only is pleased by them that come to Him by His faith.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

However, that only means no man can determine His salvation and justification with God according to his own will and mind, but all men have free will to be believe a lie and try to do so:

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

People give their bodies to sin wilfully.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

All men on earth have been drawn unto Jesus by His gospel, but not all men on earth are being drawn by God.

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

All souls have power of free will to believe Him or not, and them that believe not what He says to obey, are them no more drawn of God.

All sinners are not reprobates given up on by God and no more drawn by Him:

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

When God draws any soul, it is the soul that chooses to come to Him or not, to open the door to receive Him or not.

And if not, then the person wilfully sins against God and their own soul:

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.

If we refuse His voice today, there is no other voice of sacrifice for sins, because there is no other gospel of salvation from sins.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Whether the soul willingly comes as drawn to life or willfully draws back unto perdition, it is up to that soul.

 

[Johann]

And of course now comes the trotting out of all the Greek to justify the lie. I knew you people were just like the jehovah believers of a created christ.

The reason you declared it's 'not up to you' to purify your heart of your lust, is obviously at some time the Lord ceased to convict and draw you.

No doubt it was in the midst of your ever-learning scholarship of how you need not repent of your lust for sins, because you have proven to yourself ad nauseum it is impossible for any man to do so.

Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Careful. I am no scholar, self taught, but no scholar...you really think I do not confess my sins and sins of omission?
My eternal destination is at stake here and we all need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling brother...no need for you to work on mine
We can work together on this forum or against each other...this only thing I want to hear, preach Christ and Him crucified and resurrected..one thing to quote a bunch of scripture but do you really understand what stands written?

Can two walk together lest they agree?

I am more than willing to work WITH you and if I have offended you in any way whatsoever I ask your forgiveness..can you do that?

Strong Evidence Inherited Sin Is Heresy

Jesus was fully God when He was physically born into this world.
Jesus was also fully man when He was born into this world.

The Bible teaches that Jesus suffered the same hardships that every man must go through in this life.
He was not given favoritism by His Father over any other man.

This proves calvinism a false doctrine. Calvinism teaches Jesus did not inherit sin.
Implications:
1. Jesus had an advantage in overcoming sin that we do not.

2. Jesus was not made like His brethren in all things if calvinism be true,
Hebrews 2:14-18
Inasmuch then a s the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He, Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had power of death, that is the devil,

And release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

For indeed He does not give aid to Angel's, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

Therefore in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sons of the people.

For in Him that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Calvinism refuted.
If Jesus did not inherit "all the sin we inherit" and given the depraved nature and guilt of sin as we supposedly have,
Then Jesus was not tempted in all things as we are, just as the scriptures teach.

Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in ALL POINTS TEMPTED AS WE ARE, yet without sin.

No one is questioning you being self-taught, but only that you trot out such 'scholarship' of original languages in order to teach a false doctrine, just as the JW's are big on with their created christ.

Being self-taught myself, I also learned by personal experience that diving into the 'original' languages to try and teach the simplicity of Christ's doctrine is more of a snare than a benefit, and so I purposely cease from doing so.

you really think I do not confess my sins and sins of omission?

I know you do, but you were offered the ministry of Scripture to cease from the need of such abundant daily confession, by ceasing from the daily sins to be confessed.

no need for you to work on mine

It's called ministry to show you a perfecting you can move on to, if you desired to do so. You do not, and so I no longer offer it to you.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection.

When you said, "Sorry, that is not up to me", that was the sorriest thing I ever heard any person claiming Christ Jesus as the only Lord God and Savior.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

You have rejected the exhortation to move on from being a sinful hearer and babe in Christ, and not to become a son of God in deed and in truth, with power to obey Him within the whole heart first and with the whole body as well. You refuse the commandment to go sin no more and do His righteousness at all times.

So be it. That is is your choice.

I will continue to combat by Scripture the foolishness of Christians not being free, but not with any hope of correcting you personally.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Scripture declares that we love our brother by preaching and doing His righteousness, and not by doing the unrighteous sins of the devil.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

Sinners preaching to go and sin some more are neither loving God, nor the brethren, nor the sinners of the world.

Deceived deceivers are not doing any good for God nor man.

They are not preaching to be and live like Jesus did in the days of His flesh, but are preaching continuing to live like sinners of the world, but now 'with grace' and good works in unconditionally secured salvation in the end.

Preaching becoming good sinners for Jesus is not the gospel of the cross.

I have come to the conclusion that we may know the bible intellectually, not having the seal of the Holy Spirit it remains "dead letters"
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. By "the Spirit of Christ", is not meant the human soul of Christ; nor his divine nature; nor his Gospel, which is the Spirit that gives life; but the Holy Ghost, the third person in the Trinity, the same which is called the Spirit before; and proves Christ to be God, he proceeds from him as from the Father, is sent by him, and with which Christ's human nature was fitted and filled. The Jews (x) often speak of רוח המשיח, or רוחא דמשיח "the spirit of the Messiah". Now to have him is not barely to partake of his gifts, but of his graces; to be possessed of him as one's own; to have communion with him, and to have him dwelling in us. There are some who have him not, nor never will have him, being none of Christ's; and God's elect, whilst in an unregenerate state, are without him; and whilst such, though they are his chosen and adopted ones, they are his by his Father's gift and his own purchase, they are his pardoned ones through his blood, and his justified ones through his righteousness; yet they are not his regenerated, called, and sanctified ones; nor can they claim any interest in him; nor are they known to be his by themselves or others; nor have they any communion with him, or enjoyment of him.

The doctrine of souls having no free will, where we are told 'You are not free', is the error of mistaking freedom to come to Father by Jesus Christ, and freedom to come to God another way, as being 'free will'.

There is 'no freedom' of man to come to the Father, other than by His declared Son and Savior:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

But free will is the right and liberty God gives to every soul to come to Him His way, or to choose another unto their own destruction.

The god of this world truly does blind the false teachers. I mean, who is going to even think of preaching a message to Christians with the title "You are not free".

Seriously? Yeah, that's someone I want to listen to, unto my own destruction of freedom and liberty in Christ to draw nigh to God,a nd to choose to serve Him and His righteousness rather than sin and the devil:

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Jesus took upon himself all our sins.
Who had no sin, became sin for us....

2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him

(later reference: Psa 79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. )

The Revelation OF Jesus Christ....

Jesus was born with no sin in him. But his flesh was born into a sinful world. And all of our sins stuck to his flesh like a sponge he soaked them all up and took them on himself.

Image what someone would look like if they had all the worlds sin in their flesh.
Beastly even...

Something... the children lay up for their parents...

2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
2Co 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

So God's children layed up for him all the sins of the world, and in return God gave us his mercy and grace and love.

Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Lay your burdens at the feet of the cross.

I guess you could say Christ "inherited" our sins.
But look at the children he received after they were made whiter than snow.
And they were called Christians

What does it mean that Jesus became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21)? | GotQuestions.org

This saved me time to search the scriptures as I am tired and my brain frizzled...in no way did Christ became sin in His humanity whatsoever, it was by IMPUTATION...a important word to remember..in NO way did Christ became a sinner, in NO way did sin INHERENT or penetrate or become "infused" in Christ

Imputed:

hmm..

Like the whole chapter 8 of Romans. But I'll try to keep it short.

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

The children in the wilderness tempted God for 40 years. That doesn't mean God was subjected to sin. just sayin..

Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1Jo 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

I don't know how "imputed" fits.
still looking..
