This extra-biblical article is just more OSAS nonsense.

The verses I posted clear this up concisely. As always in this game, you completely ignored their Biblical authority while countering with extra-biblical nonsense as some sort of more-authoritative answer.

Shame.

"Thou hast a few names in Sardis (only 3 people in an entire city) which have not defiled their garments; (garments given when the process of salvation begins - defiled by unrepented sin) and they (alone) shall walk with Me in white: for they (alone) are worthy. He that overcometh (ONLY), ... I will not blot out ... from the Book of Life, ..."
Revelation 3:4-5

Those who do not meet these standards WILL BE BLOTTED OUT of the Book of Life.

This isn't an opinion, this is scripture.

Cease to be mistaken, or cease to be honest. Your decision.

You ignored the 'blotting out names from the Book of Life' part. That was the main point of the post.

You can't counter those verses in any way.

They stand.

Revelation 3:4-5
Revelation 17:8

Admit to a Biblically sound explanation that makes perfect sense in this present Age Of Grace ( the “ Grace” that you fail to appreciate or understand ) or remain Stiff- Necked” . Your decision.

What I presented was 100% Biblically sound.

Age of Grace is another man-made title given to a time period based on the Dispensational concept of the Pre-Trib Rapture which doesn't exist anywhere in scripture and will never take place.

When are you seminarian-types gonna realize the Bible is the final Word, THE Authority, on ALL matters of scripture? NOT the theology professors nor the big-wig TV and Radio pastors and preachers of the modern mainstream Christian Circus.

I think it depends on how you look at it. If I rob a bank and get thrown in prison, how can I blame that on God?
You are right. But what you should keep in mind is that if your theft was big enough (like cleaning out the bank), you would not go to prison. You would be elected by the people who want to defund the police.

Not necessarily. If a man really wants to get elected, he needs to wear a dress.

“ Age Of Grace” is “ Man- Made you say? Think again , Mr Stiff Neck —- Ephesians 3:2.....” If you have heard of the DISPENSATION Of Grace . Having been revealed to me to share with you....”

Shame on YOU for proving God was right when He said by not being a Good Student Of The Word you would “ stand ashamed”.......

Only in your opinion.....Catholics and Jehovah Witnesses would say the same thing.....they are convinced that their confused views are “ Biblically Sound”...... You don’t seem to be as confused as they are, but the point is made.....

Not hardly.

You can't shame a Bible-believer by twisting scripture. Even the pop-up verse that you posted doesn't read what you typed.

Age of Grace is a modern contrivance of Seminary Zealots that vie for respect among their peers in academia.

Dispensationalism is about the False Doctrine of Pre Trib. Period.

There seems to be a reason why OSAS people also happen to be anti-law, and i don't believe this is a coincidence. Both beliefs argue that the OT God was unfair and oppressive because He expected people to live up to impossible standards, and then Jesus came along and freed everybody from that "tyranny" with grace. So the way they see it, if Jesus freed everyone from the moral responsibility of living holy lives, they cannot ever be at risk of being denied salvation.

When the OSAS and anti-law camps use the term "age of grace" to validate their theology, they imply God didn't show mercy or favor to anyone in the OT. And yet, God's grace is shown and talked about all through the psalms, especially the ones David wrote. God's refusal to quit on Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Samson, and David despite their bad decisions and character flaws were all acts of grace.

As it is, OSAS are the ones who clearly don't understand what grace is, otherwise they wouldn't be using the term "age of grace" in the first place. Jude, John, and Paul were all 100% clear in saying grace is not, nor has it ever been, a license to reject God's laws as moral standards.

As Paul taught in Romans, grace and law go together, even though they serve separate functions. God's laws exist to show what is sin so the Christian can avoid it and quit it. Grace exists to bring the Christian back in favor with God so they won't have to die for violating those laws. The very fact that grace exists means God expects people to live according to His laws. The 2nd commandment shows God saying that He shows mercy to the people that keeps His commandments, so grace and law clearly do not oppose each other.

This is extremely simple to understand, and yet most "Christians" think Jesus' sacrifice means God somehow relaxed His standards or abolished them altogether. It boggles the mind that millions of professing Christians can't understand Gabriel's plain words when he said Jesus would come to rescue people from their sins, not give people a license to sin. If grace gave people the license to disregard God's laws, there is literally no point in being a Christian since most ppl in this world are already doing that without claiming Christianity.
