    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    :rolleyes: How does that make what I said "incorrect?" It only confirms what I said.

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    After all that said? Back again: but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." That's not speaking of ideas. That speaks of the source of the evil ideas. We are fight real invisible entities...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Human mercy can often be misguided and emotion driven God's mercy is based upon knowing all things, and at times may seem odd to humans watching God give mercy to someone they would never consider giving mercy to. Like God giving mercy to Paul after he had murdered and persecuted Christians...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Here is the verse again... For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 If a puppet gets in your face and says something obscene to your...

    post 194 -- God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what? You - Only justice needs to be fair. The one showing mercy can show mercy on whomever he or she wants. I was talking about Jesus.... What you said was worded in a confusing way....

    The Day of Atonement? That is because Jesus is our High Priest. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess." Hebrews 4:14 Leviticus 16 - on the Day of Atonement the high priest of Israel...

    The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was for the entire nation of Israel. Not just for believers in the land. For, not all in Israel were believers. Yom Kippur was the high point of the ritual calendar, coming at the end of the 10-day observance of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) when the...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Last time I checked... God is not a she. The Father is not "woke." And, when God says what He does about who gets mercy? In effect... God was saying that only God knows who fulfills the requirement for God's justice. You can waste your time if you like, and pray and beg all you want for...

    There is no universal restoration. Atonement does not bring that about by default. If it could? Then it would not require believing in Christ to be saved. Atonement kept man from extinction! Being able to stay alive to decide about the Lord. Jesus died for everyone's sins. That means...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    The atoning sacrifice unlocked the door that had been denying man of eternal life.. If there were no atoning sacrifice? God would have forsaken mankind (like He did to Jesus on the Cross) and man would become an extinct creature. Jesus could be restored after being forsaken because of our...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    There will always be a way out.... I'll stick with the Word... There is a reason why Jesus died for the sins of all.... He would be unfair if He did not. For the unbeliever would be have to be forsaken without even a hearing. And, add to that? The unbeliever at the final judgment will...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    In essence... Jesus has saved all people. Only those who believe will have it implemented. "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2 Why would He want to pay/atone for the sins of the whole world, not only the...

    What is : imputed Righteousness

    I was not quoting you. Did you note what that person implied in what was stated? "Now having this eternal gift, we live our lives for God., as this is our "reasonable service" of "presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice to God"... That sounds like it speaks of an automatic response once...

    What is : imputed Righteousness

    If what you cited were automatic for those who believe? Paul would have had no need to tell them how to live.

    What is : imputed Righteousness

    “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9 If His thoughts are not our thoughts? And, His ways are...

    Professed Believers - Thrown out of the Kingdom - Not Clothed Right - Warning from Jesus

    Proverbs 12:1, tells us plainly whom God sees as stupid. Yes.. God can call believers 'stupid.' His words. "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid." And, we all will need to be corrected at times! God's Word guarantees that we will! For it...

    Professed Believers - Thrown out of the Kingdom - Not Clothed Right - Warning from Jesus

    The Jews who Jesus taught, he taught as a rabbi would teach Jews. It was according to the Torah they learned from. I gave you objective truth. Argue all you wish. It does not change reality. Church age reality was a mystery to the Jews before Pentecost took place. Ephesians 3:3-5...

    Professed Believers - Thrown out of the Kingdom - Not Clothed Right - Warning from Jesus

    You keep trying to apply Church age doctrine to what was a Jewish age reality. Jesus spoke to Jews as a rabbi would be teaching Jews. Not as a Church age pastor who has NT teachings. OT believers who believed and died before Pentecost were not the Bride of Christ! You need to learn that...
