"You reader, or any other truly born again Christian, cannot read Eternal Security verses and get Eternal Security "out of " them. The only way that Eternal Security can be attached to these verses is to "read it into" them. This proves that Eternal Security is an extra-Biblical, external philosophy, seeking Biblical sanction. People are "educated into" Eternal Security, just as truly as atheists are "educated into" atheism. - Henry Schilling
If you are born again, you have Jesus IN you who Himself IS Eternal Life.
The Born again Have JESUS in us....''Christ in you the hope of Glory".
So, we have ETERNAL LIFE.
To have Eternal Life, is to have Eternal Security.... BECAUSE.... you have Eternal Life.
Eternal Life IS Eternal Security
So, when you read a heretics nonsense, such as stated by henry schilling, just flip the channel and find some truth, instead.
You are confusing things and conflating things that back up your error in thinking. The power of sin is the law of sin and death in the members of every human. NOT the law of God.
The born again are "not under the law, but under GRACE".
So to be born again is a great potential for glory IF one seeks God to enter into Christ.
This is not true. ONLY they who are led by the Spirit (or fully IN the Spirit) are under grace.
You teach the heresy of "one seeks to enter Christ" as salvation.
The reality is, every born again person, every Child of God, is already "IN CHRIST".
so, there is not seeking to get there, episkapos.
The born again are already there, we the born again, are already "IN CHRIST".
We are already "ONE" with God and Christ.
We are already....."as Jesus IS..... in this WORLD.....so are the BORN AGAIN".
You are trying to find your way into Christ.
Let me help you.
"believe on the Lord Jesus The Christ and you shall be saved".
Do that, be born again, and you will be "in Christ", for ETERNITY.
They only way to be found in God's Grace is to be God's Son. To be "in Christ"
To become this, you have to be "born again".
Jesus said.."you must be born again".
All the born again, are made righteous, and this is how you exist "under Grace".
its the Grace of God that leads you to Salvation. Salvation is to be BORN AGAIN.
Jesus said, "you must be born again".
Ok good.
Lets look at your verses, thx for the question..
This part first....""there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin"...
So, the sacrifice for Sin, is Jesus's blood, Body, Death, and the Cross.
If this is "no more"...it means its been rejected. As to not have it is to reject it.
So...how would Jesus's Salvation be not available, or "there remains no more sacrifice".....= is to hear the Gospel and not respond. Its to remain a Christ Rejector and die.
Its that old man in that Baptist Church, who is a member for 55 yrs, and for 45 yrs he has heard the alter call every Sunday and resisted it and resisted it, until the Holy Spirit can't reach that seared conscience in him any longer.
He is going to hell, He is a spiritually dead man walking, who has gone past the point of no return, because he heard the Truth too many times and this resistance hardened his heart until it was so hardened that it was impossible for the Grace of God to reach it through the Holy Spirit.
Who else is it? Its a group of Hebrews ( unsaved Jews) who are listening to Paul Preach the CROSS in Hebrews 10 and Acts 28, and they are told... "If you reject your Messiah, if you '"willfully SIN" this way, you are doing "despite to the Spirit of Grace". ( rejecting the Holy Spirit's conviction and call), and you are stomping on the Blood of Jesus.. "Trodding underfoot the blood".... and Paul warns them fiercely ....If you do this !!!, if you reject your Messia, as your Father's did who had Him nailed to the Cross, you right here and right now are "crucifying HIM AFRESH"... you are hanging Jesus 0n the Cross AGAIN, by your = Christ Rejection". !!!!! So if you do that, which you are doing, there is no longer any sacrifice for your sin, because you have REJECTED THE ONE WHO IS YOUR SACRIFICE FOR YOUR SIN"... = so by doing this, there remains no more sacrifice available to you. And THAT is the unpardonable sin. Its to willfully reject pardon of your sin by rejecting Christ, and there is no way for this sin to be forgiven, because you have rejected the only ONE who could be the sacrifice for you sin.
The 2nd verse you posted, has to do with the Vengeance of Jesus, when he comes back.
His "Adversaries" all all the Christ Rejectors.. And the specific verse that defines this day of Vengeance when Jesus comes again to destroy is found as 2nd Thessalonians 1:8. "in flaming fire (Jesus)(God) taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"..
Notice the scripture explaining the Scripture, as this is how you "compare scripture with scripture, to understand the context and the Spiritual meaning of the verse..
In Hebrews 10 you read....>"looking for (means its in the future), = judgment and fiery indignation, (God's righteous anger), that shall DEVOUR the ADVERSARIES, = All who hate God, all who Reject Christ and most important.... = 2nd Thessalonians 1:8, " these people obey NOT the Gospel of our Lord Jesus", This means they do not believe it...as to obey the Gospel, is to have Faith in Christ and be born again.. So, all Christ rejectors will face hell and the lake of fire after they die, and those who are alive when Jesus comes back, will face "flaming fire and God's-Christs Vengeance".
I notice that you take other people's teaching and post it.
Did you know that i never cut and paste or borrow anyone's text, and post it on any forum?
Every word of every Thread i write, that you've read, or will read, i wrote it.
I dont past other people's work.
What i teach, comes from my Spirit and my Knowledge, of the Spiritual.
So, i have a question for you, because you have again invented an idea that is not found in a New Testament, and you are teaching it as Truth.
Its this.. you wrote.
"""Then after His ministry was complete He asked the Father to give Him back the glory of God He had with the Father before the world was.""""
So, this never happened.
Jesus never ask God to give Him back His glory with God.
You made this up...but, not actually, as im sure you borrowed this lie from some commentary or maybe your Pastor.
So, QUOTE from a NEW TESTAMENT, where Jesus asked God to give him Back the Glory He had with His Father.
He never asked this.
You are again teaching crazy deceit, here, on a Christian Forum.
Post the verse where Jesus said what you say he asked.
Should be easy to do, as the words would be in RED.
Oh that's funny Joseph, because it can sometimes be the very opposite! Have you known many Preachers kids?? I cannot say where the ones I have known are today with their faith but I can tell you, there can be much rebellion...
Okay. But then we have the issue of what "hell" really means...and that is off topic
:)
Hell is found at the end of a Christ rejecting Life.
If you were in my class and we were studying Satan and Hell..
Here is what you'd learn on day one of this Class.
Jesus said....>"YOU are of your FATHER....= the DEVIL".
Who is that person?
Its every unbeliever.
Every unbeliever's Father, is the DEVIL....Satan.
The fallen adamaic "nature" is the nature of the Devil. Its his NORMAL NATURE.
SIN, is "transgression" regarding God, but regarding the Devil, its NORMAL. Its what He IS....
Think of it like this.....when we are born again....we get a "NEW NATURE".... we are to have the MIND OF CHRIST...we become "a new CREATION, in CHRIST"....
We have an incorruptible seed in us....we are incorruptible as a SPIRIT that has been BORN AGAIN, into GOD's Spirit, = ONE with God and Christ= IN CHRIST.
So, we are ALL THAT.......Made Righteous, by "the Gift of Righteousness"....
We are Children of the LIGHT< and Jesus is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
We the born again are in a New Kingdom, having been TRANSLATED from Darkness TO Light = INTO Light, who is God.. This Light is God's Holiness. Its His REALM... Its HIM.
AND so, you have a new FATHER....."GOD"...."ABBA"... if you are born again.
Before you were all that, you had a different SPIRITUAL Father.
Your Father, was....>Jesus said, """" YOU are of YOUR FATHER = The DEVIL, and HIS LUSTS, you will do.""""
And the devil's LUSTS are what you were doing, as "SIN"... you were SINNING.
Sinning is the Devil's Lusts being performed by HIS Children, = the unbelievers.
Final answer??
When the Born Again die, they go to THEIR FATHER, = Heaven.
When the unbelieving die, they go to THEIR FATHER, = Hell...= Satan.
Hell was created for the Devil and the fallen angels, and for His children..= all the Christ Rejectors. (Unbelievers)
I pretty sure @CharismaticLady was simply stating:
"Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." John 17:5
I could be wrong but this would be my guess...
Hell should have it's own thread as, this is de-railing this thread. I'm sure there are several out there already...threads on hell, I mean. :)
See you will not seek God..because for you and your kind....
The born again are "not under the law, but under GRACE".
Listen up...
I "seek God" every day in Prayer, on my knees, before i even eat Breakfast.
This is usually before 5am.
I teach about God, many hours a day, to other "seekers", often 7 days a week.
Sometimes "live", sometimes online... sometimes both in the same day.
I start my day with "seeking God" in praise, and prayer. I end my day with bible study.
And in between all this, i am found on my knees again, praying and praising God.
Thats my normal day of "seeking".
Match it if you can, and if you can't, then be quiet until you do.
See, you have this amazingly self righteous idea that making effort toward God, is something only you do.
Guess again.
Here is the reality, God does not save you or keep you, because of your pressing in, or abding, or SEEKING.
He only accepts you because of what Christ did for you on the Cross, and He only keeps you for the same reason.
If this has not happened to you yet, then you need to resolve this, asap.
