The common denominator

[justbyfaith]

Yes! READ: <<We can not fulfil the Law>> with nor without Christ.

Phl 4:13, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Scriptures and GOD in the Scriptures declare there is NOT ONE with good in him,

Can you give chapter and verse? Clearly, the Bible tells us that Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and faith (this was after the Cross)...Acts of the Apostles 11:22-24.

Also, goodness is a fruit that we bear as Christians (Galatians 5:22-23).

And while there is no good in my flesh (Romans 7:18), clearly the Holy Ghost who dwells within me (2 Timothy 1:14) is good (Psalms 143:10).

So, in that sense, good dwells within us.

But of course, there is no good in any of us apart from the Holy Ghost.

Confirmed Scripture resisted ALSO bears fruit!

Resisting scripture can only bear the bad kind of fruit.

For heavens' sake have it your way for yourself and leave me alone, <I choose> to be a sinner rather! ...holy samoosas!

Choose that if you so desire...just realize that there are very real consequences for such a decision.

Mat 13:41, The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42, And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

<<all things>> just like "all men" misapplied for WHAT?! For vainglory! You think Calvinists are on your free-willers' level of intelligence and achievement. We are not. Thank God.

Goodness to get sick of ...

Since when did you begin to take an un-Christian point of view, @GerhardEbersoehn?

If I remember correctly, your posts have not been un-Christian up to this point;

But now, all of a sudden, you are taking viewpoints that are un-Christian or even anti-Christian;

And, while I am concerned for you, I believe that my response to this is not going to be to continue to argue with you; while I am going to be praying for you that the Lord might open your eyes to the truth.

 

[GerhardEbersoehn]

So, I'm a little confused. If there's no free will choices than how can one choose to be a heretic?

Shame. You are born one.

 

[GerhardEbersoehn]

It sounds like you need to study under a proven Christian church. That way you'll have a sound doctrine. The bible only teaches that none are good except God. It doesn't teach that all are possessed by demons who aren't good.

All are possessed by demons who are themselves.

You and I are indeed standing on the precipice of the GREAT DIVIDE between Christian and Christian -- the great divide between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, the great divide between the Faith of Grace and humanism :: "THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL", what Luther said in said book of his, is the HINGE on which the door between hell and Salvation turns. You and I are indeed standing on the precipice, one this side, the other on that side.

YOU ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT!

You remind me of Professor Walter Veith. Mrs White got him stuck on the issue of human free will -- BLIND-struck!

What scripture tells you that?

 

[GerhardEbersoehn]

Ever thought about its conditions? It is the choice of every human being ever born including YOU, my friend. We're brothers. You think, maybe pretend you don't make the same choice? ever thought there are very real consequences for such a decision AS YOU'RE NO SINNER?

WAKE UP dreamer!

There are - many; but I don't need any to know that about myself.

Praying for you, @GerhardEbersoehn.

I think he said "not only" a free will choice, but also demonic.

Much love!

I'm confused by his whole post.

Shame. You are born one.

Ok, then, if one is born a heretic, then there's nothing one can do about that. How is that just?
Biblically no one is born a heretic. We are born capable of great evil or great good depending on who we choose to follow, God or Satan.

Yeah, It thought I smelled Calvinism's confusion bringing influence. It's pretty easy to smell. It takes happy Christians, bathing in God's love and makes them question if he is loving at all so that they end up questioning whether they are even saved. Just say no and jump back into God's love and compassion for all.

All are born heretics, rebels, haters of God. There's nothing one can do about that.

How is that just? All EARNED that. All are sinners by merit of birth.

Biblically no one is not born a heretic. We are born capable only of great evil and no good depending on being all children of the first man Adam who chose to follow that old snake the devil rather than God.

You do not know what you're talking, except making it plain it's futile / hopeless to tell you anything. You have the condition called being predisposed.

You just contradicted yourself. Are we born heretics or not?

A baby earned hell? What?

Jesus said to become like a child, because they are innocent.

You don't have a clue what I know, Bud.

I know Calvinism clouds God's goodness and ultimately makes him the author of all evil.

<<Are we born heretics or not?>> You have seen what I say; yes we are; and worse, much worse. We are born lost sinners who already earned hell. Yes.

<<Jesus said to become like a child, because they are innocent.>> You see, you prove me right, you wrong. You see, you are proving yourself a born liar. Yes. Because Jesus never and nowhere said <<become like a child, because they are innocent.>> It is you who says <<because they are innocent>>, not Jesus.

No I know the sum total and essence of all you know-- that <<Calvinism clouds God's goodness and ultimately makes him the author of all evil>>.

Know you -- not believe you.
