Thank you for stopping in! :) <><

The saints coming out of the tribulation. The righteous don't come back to life until the Millennial rule is over.

You are mixing things up. There is a gift of grace and there is also the FULNESS of grace. One is a surprise gift at regeneration. And the other is BOUGHT at a cost of EVERYTHING...the price is the cross...which you will deny...since you can only afford the free stuff. Imputed righteousness is...

This is true of election...being either being born a Jew (natural level) or else being called of God to run the race of faith on a spiritual level. Not all who are Jews are elected...not all who are called into the race of faith are elected to be saints. Many are called, few are chosen. There...

sort of... But God predestines people to both be vessels of honour AND vessels of dishonour.....from the SAME LUMP. To be born again is just a start that qualifies a person for a higher race of faith. It does NOT necessarily lead to the likeness of Christ. Most won't run in the race of faith...

You mean what gives men a proper sense of reality? Well, not religious systems or the dogmas that come out of those. They create ideological illusions. Simplicity...a turning FROM pride. A brush with something much greater than oneself...whether human or divine.

No...it is sin dwelling ON them that makes them wicked. Sin dwelling IN them makes them weak. But a humble man can avoid presumptuous sins...and be justified by God even with sin still IN them. Free will means we can say NO to a false covering that adds sin to sin.

We have free will. As such we can boast of our greatness, or pound our chest in humility. How do we behave knowing we are sinners? Do we turn to a false gospel and declare ourselves righteous based on our new beliefs? If we do that we are adding sin to sin. How deep do our sins go? The only...

The problem is not so much being blind, as in the imagination that one isn't blind when one is. Jesus told the Pharisees...because you say "we see" your sin remains. Righteousness is granted to a person if they can admit their own blindness. From there they can receive light. The devil's...

No imagination would be having everyone pre-determined in their roles...no nuances, no surprises. God is spontaneous in His actions...but they follow a pattern of mercy AND truth. They were unknown to the angels. God FOREKNEW them...but did NOT Pre-determine them. I don't think you watched...

The extremist reformist view championed by men such as Luther and Calvin is that man has no agency whatsoever in either salvation or justification. That's how people get predestination so wrong. Predestination is not about salvation or justification...it is ONLY about a certain number of people...

The movie plot is predestined. The actors are foreknown. But who will fulfill the good roles and bad roles is affected by our free will. Use your free will wisely.

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly: therefore from henceforth you shall have wars." 2 Chron. 16:9

In the parable of the talents, does everyone who is given a talent produce another? Who determines if we will be faithful or not with what we have been given? In this episode we will look at the biblical distinction between predestination and free will.

Having made that point, I would say that the truth will never be accepted as a mass movement. The majority will never have the depth and nuance associated with an actual spiritual discernment. When Jesus said...2 or 3 gathered in His name...well, that's about it. A few here a few there. The way...

We can't seem to agree on all the same errors. :rolleyes: :hmhehm

You are pitting the bible against the bible. I teach what is in the bible. In your scheme you ignore one verse to uphold a faulty understanding of another. Paul would rebuke you for that. False. DOING righteousness is 100% biblical...and the standard by which almost all believers will be...

There you go with the pagan religion of Valhalla again. No one DOES righteousness to go to heaven (Valhalla)...that is a pagan idea that you teach. DOING righteousness is for God's MERCY. The MEEK inherit the earth. Yes you have. The cross is what kills our sin nature so that we walk in...

Today's modern gospel would read...For I am not ashamed (as I should be) of the (modern) GOSPEL, the BELIEF in God unto salvation to everyone who conforms to an ideology that denies the power)

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matt. 7:23
