He invited the unforgiving servant by forgiving him (Mt 18). The guy had the righteousness of faith, because it is defined by King David as, Romans 4 6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7“Blessed are they whose lawless...

You've stated nothing new, so I repeat my response furnished to you earlier https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/osas-gnostic-heresy.63913/page-57#post-1894464

Since you're repeating yourself, I will repeat the response I shared before https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/osas-gnostic-heresy.63913/page-57#post-1894464

1. You'd objected, before, that Jesus wasn't spiritually blind, and wouldn't trust sinners, but here you have Him entrusting a wicked person with, charging him to share, the Gospel. 2. What does it mean to be "given the Gospel"? What is the difference between a secular person who hears (is...

I really wish the Bible was as simple as you all (Monergists) claim it is--the fact is, though, that it just isn't. It makes seemingly mutually exclusive statements, which take prayer and study to reconcile.

What was it, in your view, that the Lord had sowed into the servants, which he expected to reap a harvest of, but which the lazy servant didn't yield a harvest?

I wouldn't encourage anyone to abandon confidence in God, which Monergism can grant, I'm only objecting to arriving at the confidence through a false argument, helpful as it may be.

Ex 32:33 as previously stated Rev 3 says same

You're just wrong. It explicitly states it. Romans 11 9You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21For if God did not spare the natural...

Lol I have presented every kind of support, and you emptily complain. I accept you do not like what I've said Scripture clearly says, and that you're not going to accept it. Arrivederci!

Zero specifics.

I said what the verse said, and I showed other passages that say the same (eg. Mt 18). You have a tradition you follow that disallows you from believing these things, and you haven't been able to come up with any justification for rejecting my explanations. What can I say? Go on your way.

To say "dumb sheep" is actually redundant. If you're His sheep, He's saying you can't rely on your own understanding, because it is incorrect, faulty, unreliable, but you must trust Him, the Shepherd. In that way, yes, we are "dumb", "sheep"--"let the one who thinks he is wise according to this...

For those who brag about having been called, and about being elect, how often do you preach or follow Peter, who says, "be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election"? To him, calling and election needs confirmation through correct behavior/reasonable response to God's grace, but...

https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/osas-gnostic-heresy.63913/page-57#post-1894459 @th1b.taylor I couldn't respond directly to the post, because the post had some formatting issues. You still haven't told me what you are disagreeing with or why. What it sounds like is you disagree with...

Romans 12 1Therefore I exhort you, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy to God, well-pleasing, which is your reasonable service. I saw a translation rendering it "in view of God's mercies" instead of "through the mercies of God"...

Please explain your reason for believing what I've said about the parable is "error". I don't get it : I literally said the same thing you just said (you've been forgiven, so you must forgive--otherwise, God will rescind His forgiveness).

The same Church that preserved the Trinity, and all his favorite doctrines, also fought OSAS for its first few hundred years. LOL

The balance of evidence is on the side of rejecting OSAS, I think, even though maybe we should have a trust in God as if it were not the case.
