God absolutely will TAKE AWAY from your share in the Tree of Life if you abandon Him - AFTER you come to faith . . .
AFTER you come to faith?
You are without UNDERSTANDING.
EVERY MAN who IS Hearing the Word of God, IS gifted with FAITH from God!
You have been repeatedly SHOWN this.
A man HEARING the Word of God, "IS" being "ENLIGHTENED". He is RECEIVING TRUE Knowledge of the Lord, AND being gifted with FAITH "from the Lord". The Lord who IS "LIGHT"..... enLIGHTens with the gift of FAITH.
A man receiving ENLIGHTMENT, receiving KNOWLEDGE, receiving FAITH.......
DOES NOT MEAN the man HAS SUBMITTED "TO" the Lord!!!
And UNTIL the man HAS SUBMITTED....HE HAS NOT RECEIVED SALVATION or GODS SEED.......and SUCH MAN CAN at ANY TIME...
WALK AWAY.
/QUOTE]
You have been TOLD, SHOWN, been EXPLAINED, been GIVEN toddler examples to ad nausum.....and still you continue to Ask the same question over and over.
Thee Christ Lord Jesus ONCE gave HIS FLESH BODY and BLOOD.....FOR the WORLD, (ANY AND ALL MEN of the WORLD) TO HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE "THROUGH" Him.
THAT TELLS YOU, THE GIFT "IS" FOR ALL.
THE GIFT IS NOT FORCED ON ANYONE "TO" ask for, OR Receive "HIS GIFT".
It does not mean, the GIFT IS NOT "FOR THEM".
It Does mean, a individual has to decide "IF" he "wants" the Gift, "wants" to Receive the Gift.
IF a man DOES WANT to RECEIVE the Lords Gift of Salvation.....gee, WHOM do you think the individual ASKS? His mommy? No.
The INDIVIDUAL solicits and CALLS ON THE Lord!
And WHAT? You think the Lord ISN'T hearing or listening when an individual CALLS ON Him to Confess true heartfelt Belief IN Him?
Of course He IS listening and hearing a natural living man calling on His Name to Confess True Heartfelt BELIEF IN Him!
AND WHAT? You think the Lord (who knows all things), MIGHT BE FOOLED BY A LIAR, who is after the Gift, but doesn' (really) believe? You think the Lord GIVES a FAKE His Gift of Salvation and Gods SEED?
Since YOU TEACH, a man CAN receive Gods Gift of Salvation and Gods Seed....and THEN (change his mind and throw the gifts back in Gods Face).
No doubt, mens carnal minds ARE wishy washy and every changing.
As you have been told repeatedly, THE CARNAL MIND IS AGAINST GOD.
Seriously dude, God did not LOOK TO A MANS CARNAL MINDED "CONFESSION"!!!
God looks to a mans "HEARTS TRUE THOUGHTS" confession.
AND.....A man WHO with a TRUE Heartful CONFESSION, made TO THE Lord.....
THAT MAN by the Power of God, becomes; FORGIVEN for Disbelief.
Spiritually DEAD.
SAVED and BORN AGAIN.
Spiritually ALIVE "IN" and "WITH" the Lord
FOREVER.
The GIFT IS PROVIDED......TO ALL; IT IS THEIRS TO CLAIM AND HAVE FOREVER.
IF THEY DO NOT CLAIM IT...
THEY DO NOT RECEIVE IT...
IF THEY DO NOT RECEIVE IT...
THEY LOSE IT...
Not rocket science.
Every natural individual HAS the OPPORTUNITY to RECEIVE Salvation and Gods SEED.
Every Natural born Living man......IS naturally ALIVE in HIS OWN LIFE, which IS HIS BLOOD.
It is WHILE a man IS ALIVE in his OWN BLOOD, HIS OWN LIFE, that his NAME is recorded IN GODS BOOK OF LIFE.
IT IS THOSE MEN, naturally ALIVE in their own blood, that are given OPPORTUNITY to RECEIVE the Lords Gift of Salvation and Gods Seed of Eternal Spiritual Life, BY AND THROUGH THE Lord.
Men DO NOT KNOW the hour their OWN blood life may END.
And ONCE THEIR OWN blood LIFE ENDS, SO ALSO ENDS their OPPORTUNITY to CALL ON THE Lord TO RECEIVE Salvation and Gods SEED.
Scripture is FULL of the URGENCY for a man TO DECIDE (WHILE he is alive IN HIS OWN Blood life).... TO CHOOSE to Receive Salvation and Gods Seed....
Because "IF" their natural body dies, their natural life ends, and they HAVE MISSED their Opportunity to RECEIVE Salvation and Gods SEED.
Because naturally dead body's KNOW NOTHING. THEY CAN NOT MAKE A decision to CALL on the Lord and Receive Salvation and Gods Seed.
Their Name becomes BLOTTED OUT of the Book of Life.
The Lord Jesus WILL NOT BE CALLING THEM UP TO THE Clouds to Receive A NEW GLorified Body.
THEY have LOST their Salvation....
The DOOR to recive Salvation IS SHUT to them.
Heed the warning, and Receive Salvation and the Seed of God.....for who knows, you can physically die at any moment....and your name blotted out.[/QUOTE]
After reading this last insane
rant of yours - I'm giving you a
homework assignment:
Get out your
dictionary, dust it off, and look up the word
"Concise". Next - try to
follow that definition in your
next rant . . .
While you're at it -
PLEASE finally show me
where the Bible teaches that we are saved
"forever" and
cannot lose it once we are born again. I've been waiting for
3170 posts now.
Chapter and Verse, please . . .
