"willfully sin". : Hebrews 10

[Michiah-Imla]

You know not the word of God or the Ekklesia.

I do know the word of God and the church quite well. What’s with “Ekklesia”? I’m not impressed with inordinate captivation to original language pronounciations.

But God hears your blasphemy of his holy spirit.

Oh?

Quote my blasphemy of the Holy Spirit according to the truth.

Because I have not accused Christ of having an unclean spirit.

“…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12)

"Work out" your salvation and NOT work for.. Big difference. This pertains to the 2nd tense of salvation - "ongoing or progressive sanctification."

Verse 13 - for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

"Work out" your salvation and NOT work for..

Then why the need to fear and tremble?

What are we fearing and trembling over Dan?

Big difference.

No difference.

No difference.

For the believer it pertains to a healthy fear of offending God through disobedience and a righteous awe and respect or reverence for Him. (Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 34:9; Isaiah 66:2)

Prior to my conversion, while still attending the Roman Catholic church several years ago, I basically saw God as a tyrant who couldn't wait to punish me every time I messed up. That is an unhealthy fear!

So Philippians 2:12 is not about works salvation or fear and bondage to IN-security. Like I said before. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Not so.

For:

“…by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6)

And God makes no distinctions in “healthy” or “unhealthy” fear.

The Lord said:

“…Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” (Luke 12:4-5)

True. Like Psalm 2:11. It isn't telling us we should be terrified of God. Where then would we find peace in him if he means we be scared to death of him.

Psalm 2:11(HSV)Serve the LORD with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling.
