"The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties" (2 Peter 2:9-10).
(1) you ignore Philippians 2:12 relation to Philippians 2:13 where God works the will of believers to obey, (2) you think "good" fruit by you is caused by you, yet we Christians know our good fruit is caused by God because it is fruit of the Spirit, (3) you confuse what scripture states such as in Hebrews 3:12, and (4) you didn't know why the Old Testament was written. (post in this thread), and there is some about perseverance of the saints by God in the post, too.
The contradiction illuminated between "this is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent" (the Word of God Jesus Christ, John 6:29) contrasted against "this is you working the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) post in this thread exhibits your traditions of men fail (Matthew 15:9).
This post preludes the examination of your post in 5 segments:
You are shown that "free-will" is scripturally a misnomer for autonomous will which is properly identified as "self-will" in scripture, and the Spiritual implications are explicit (post in this thread).
You are shown that Lord Jesus' use of "you" in "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) and in "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you" (John 14:16-17) are to all believers in all time (post in this thread, SEGMENT 1 OF 5 redux); additionally, you are shown to adulterate the words of Christ with "he shall teach you (Apostles) all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) which truly is "the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you" (John 14:26), and a Christian does not do the shameful, unchristian thing of changing the words of Christ!
You call God many evil names. Commands show who is of who or what (post in this thread, SEGMENT 2 OF 5 redux), and man is not saved by the works of man, but man is saved by the works of God.
Now, you adulterate "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life" (Acts 11:18) into your heart's new unbiblical scripture of "Well then, God has granted to offer to the Gentiles also the opportunity for repentance that leads to life." (the word of Ernest T. Bass) (post in this thread, SEGMENT 3 OF 5 redux), and your heart's illegal redefinition of the word granted is exposed.
You wickedly adulterate "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (the Word of God Jesus Christ, John 3:5) into your strange fire of "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one obeys water baptism ritual to cause oneself to be born of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) (post in this thread), and Lord Jesus says being "born of the Spirit" is exclusively under God's Sovereign control.
You blame God for men's actions, yet self-willed men are accountable for their own actions a.k.a. sin and "Man Opening The Door To Salvation - The Free-willian Philosophy Explained" (post in this thread, SEGMENT 5 OF 5 redux) which explains the blood at the cross established a spot in Heaven for an individual who never heard the Gospel, but that spot will remain vacant for all eternity - the god of the free-willians was unable to keep the spot occupied.
Your heart wickedly converts "If it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.'” (The Apostle Paul, Romans 7:7) into your adulterated "If the law had not been, I would have known sin for it is senseless for God to issue the Law. For I would have known with the ability to obey what it is to not covet when the law had said, “You shall not covet.'" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) (post in this thread, SEGMENT 2 OF 5 redux), and your exhibit unbelief in "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" (the Apostle Peter, Acts 15:10).
You claim "No one is good except man and God alone" (the word of Ernest T. Bass), yet the True Word of God says "No one is good except God alone " (Mark 10:18) (post in this thread), so you argue there is no need for the Savior Jesus because you say man is good enough so you nullify the cross in your heart (Matthew 15:16-19).
In your heart, you adulterate "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9) into your self-willed shout (2 Peter 2:9-10) of "The heart is not deceitful above all things, and not desperately wicked" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) (post in this thread).
I quoted Psalm 58:3 to you repeatedly, but you blindly blew past it, and now you adulterate "The wicked are estranged from the womb; these who speak lies go astray from birth" (Psalm 58:3) into your unscriptural thoughts of "The wicked are NOT estranged from the womb; these who speak lies DO NOT go astray from birth" (the word of Ernest T. Bass) based upon your closing paragraph, and ALL PEOPLE ARE EVIL AT BIRTH EXCEPT FOR CHRIST WHO was the only sinless person of His own doings for it is written of the Lord Jesus Christ, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). SEE THAT CHRIST "KNEW NO SIN" - this means that your free-willian philosophy is delusion.
Way back here in January 2023, it is recorded that you wrote "The Bible does say men are sinful, wicked but no verse says man is born sinful, wicked" (the word of Ernest T. Bass), but then from January into March 2023 you were shown "The wicked are estranged from the womb; these who speak lies go astray from birth" (Psalm 58:3) which reveals the spiritual truth that is opposite of your Hearts treasure (Matthew 15:16-19), and in accord with the doctrine of demons (1 Timothy 4:1) you persist in saying that Psalm 58:3 does not say what Psalm 58:3 does say.
"The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority.

This post preludes the examination of your post in 5 segments:
- SEGMENT 1: your heart adulterates Jesus' words of "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) into the words of Ernest T. Bass "you of the office of an Apostle did not choose Me, but I chose you for the office of an Apostle only".
- SEGMENT 2: Commands show who is of who or what, and people in Old Testament times were unable to keep the commandments for the Apostle Peter declared "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" (Acts 15:10).
- SEGMENT 3: God works believers repentance.
- SEGMENT 4: the first state of being for people is opposition against God.
- SEGMENT 5: you wickedly call God "insane", "cruel", "sadistic", and "evil" - EVEN "EVIL" - yet God loves the children of God soooooo much that God exclusively saves us incapable wretches from the wrath of God.
