Sometimes we "can't see the wood for the trees"; but if Scripture repeats a point, it's good to take note...

Psalm One Thirty Six: God's Mercy Endures Forever:

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 136 - New International Version

"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

Yes, His mercy endureth for ever, but to whom does it apply at any time?

"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." Matt 5:7

"For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment." James 2:13

Give God the glory!

Let us remember well the natural children of Israel to whom God showed mercy until they had rebelled against Him ten times:

"Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;" Num 14:22

 

[marks]

Only if we live holy!!

Salvation by works?

Why do you need mercy if your live holy? But then, no one does entirely. So all are excluded?

Same as above . . . salvation by works?

Why do you want to take away mercy from God's children?

The steadfast love of the Lord Never Ceases. His mercies they never come to an end.

What are saved for, if not to receive God's mercy? Would you throw us all back into the works of law? The one who keeps all the Law, they one shall live? Or the righteous will live by faith?

You have to choose . . . once and for all . . . it's by faith, or by works. But it cannot be by both that we are accepted by God.

You want to define our new covenant relationship with God by the terms of the old covenant. But living your life believing you must keep the Law - any law - to be accepted and blessed by God will only cause sin to thrive in your life. So the more you try to keep the law the more you find you can't, because that's how it works.

There is no righteousness by our works. None. Filthy rags. In fact God's mercy Does Endure Forever.

Much love!

So the psalm quoted in the OP applies, but the verses I cited do not? If you are saying that a person cannot quench the Holy Spirit, why did Apostle Paul warn us not to do so?

"Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19

Should we throw out all of the verses which do not fit your doctrine? You did not respond to the verses I quoted and explain to whom they do apply, if not to you.

 

[farouk]

See Psalm 136.

 

[amadeus]

See Psalm 136.

God's mercy certainly will last forever as that psalm makes clear, but that means He is always merciful that that mercy will always be extended. God has set a limit to how much mercy He will extend to any man dependent upon what is in the man's heart.

For Adam and Eve, who disobeyed the one rule they were required to obey, God's mercy was given to their descendants who took no part in the decision to disobey. Each of those descendants if he lived long enough to do so, also came to his own place of disobedience. Some obtained mercy allowing them to receive salvation, but...

"But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:" Matt 3:7-8

How many in the end of the matter have the same problem as those Pharisees and Sadducees of old?
