If you haven't figured it out, what I'm interested in is not your style of cursory, surface reading, but digging into Scripture at the level of the verse and examining whether what we derive from it is evidence for our positions or not. Therefore, I've decided to stop reading your posts until you answer the following question about the following verse:
Does Matthew 7:21-23 KJV say "all" of the lost who are told to depart will be unknown to Him, or simply "many" of the total number of the lost will be unknown to Him?
I'm asking because you use it to "prove" your OSAS position.
OSAS is in your mind, only.
Listen...you understand that OSAS is not a "Position", it is a lie created by Pharisees in JUDE'S day and PAUL's Day, that is designed to subvert the true understanding of Grace, of God's Grace, that is : "the Gift of Salvation".
Listen.... In Paul's day, they said to him...>"you are teaching license to sin"..
The PHARISEES said it like this...>"Paul says that we are to sin so that Grace will come".
So, you are just one more from that heretical pack, from long ago, who hears GRACE though the lens of your self righteousness.
You need to get your FAITH Right, as its broken.
----------------------------
And regarding "depart from me".
Now, i have to lay the theological groundwork for you, so that you can see what your verse is actually teaching.
1.) To be in Christ, is to >have become< the Bride of Christ.
Christ is not coming back to Marry the Bride,...(the body of Christ) He's coming back for the Bride He's already married.
Understand?
So, the bible teaches that "marriage" is not the piece of paper, or the "I TAKE YOU to be my Husband/wife".
Its not the contract or the vow., regarding how the BIBLE explains marriage.
The bible explains marriage as "FLESH JOINING FLESH"......>" they shall leave their parents and CLEAVE to one another".
To "CLEAVE" is to physically join yourself to the person...>"flesh joining flesh". "consummation".
Let me show you this really quickly.. = When Jews get married in Israel, religious jews, they go directly to a room with a bed in it, and consummate, as that is the REAL Marriage.....
Understand?
This is biblical "marriage".....So, this is why Paul tells you to "flee fornication", as "flesh is joining flesh".
2.) So, in the SPIRIT Realm......to Join God, is to become "ONE" with God, = is the same IDEA as "flesh joining flesh", but its in the Spirit.
This "joining'" of man to God, of woman to God, is to become = BORN AGAIN... (not water baptized).
This is the Holy Spirit of GOD, birthing the person INTO The Holy Spirit of God by the Holy Spirit.....= that is to become "ONE with God" and IN Christ".
So, you have to understand all that first, before you jump into, "depart from me"..
3.) Now, " 2 become ONE FLESH", to have intimacy with someone, is the sex act. And the bible refers to this as KNOWING them.
If you have read Genesis, you find LOT's Daughters, having sex with their drunken Dad, Genesis 19:34-35, = "to KNOW".
This is the same you find in Sodom and Gomorrah, where the homosexual perverts were calling to Lot, to "send out the Angels, that we may KNOW THEM".
See that? "KNOW THEM" = Fornicate with them.
God burned them soon after that request, as that is how God feels about Homosexuality. He does not accept it.
So, to wind this little teaching up... . as its getting Late in Israel.....and i was up really early today....
4.) To "KNOW" person , biblically speaking is to have carnal knowledge of them...(sexual intimacy) ..which is the bible understanding of "flesh joining flesh".
The Spiritual aspect of "KNOWING YOU" , is becoming "in Christ', = Spiritual UNION... and "ONE WITH GOD"....= Spiritual UNION.
That is how God KNOWS YOU.
He KNOWS YOU< because you are JOINED TO HIM
Spiritually (born again)...... as a BRIDE is JOINED TO HER HUSBAND, literally (flesh joining flesh)
SEE it?
That is the BRIDE OF CHIRST.... .in Spiritual UNION< with God and Christ, is how Jesus
KNOWS You.
So, your verse says.......>"depart from me.....I NEVER
KNEW YOU">.
"NEVER KNEW YOU">. .= I dont KNOW You.. . You are not in Spiritual union with me, you are not : BORN AGAIN.
