Not By Works

NoNameMcgee · Feb 9, 2018

i can relate

i speak to God throughout my day
sometimes just a quick "sorry" for a thought

sometimes "thank you" for whats going on

or requests for help in myself

for Him to lead me and not allow me to act in my flesh

i get you

im happy i didnt offend you
i agree about thin skin.... its not a good trait

much better to be longsuffering like the heavenly Father

but i just want to add

this thread is specifically about giving thanks to Jesus our savior for His sacrifice

and knocking down false doctrines that add to His work
or take from it

its different to speak of walking in the spirit
or the fruits of the spirit

these things are huge
thats also a very important topic

but when people start saying

"its up to what you do to keep salvation as a born again Christian"

thats a false doctrine

and thats all im here to speak against

because thats the false gospel God delivered me from

and im grateful

And you are so HYPOCRITE, ARROGANT, IGNORANT, DECEIPTFUL, A MOCKER, INSULTER,ABUSER, A LIAR, WHICH ONLY SHOWS THAT YOU ARE NOTHING BUT SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE SAVED BUT STILL WALK IN DARKNESS. A REAL "ZOMBIE" IN DISGUISE.

Sorry for the boldness but here's what the bible tells us:

Romans 12:9-21 Love Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We sin everyday.

This is a big claim. It is a claim that there is no such thing as being pure, undefiled
at any point outside 24hrs.

But unfortunately the same people are often saying something else.
They believe we are always sinners, we are never cleansed and made Holy,
rather they believe we are innately evil.

Now Jesus came to become a man to show this theology is wrong.
Jesus was without sin. Sin is not innate within a human, but unrepentended
sin defiles the person. So a murderer is a murderer in Gods eyes until they
repent and accept Gods forgiveness through the cross.

People are so locked into un-repented sin, they do not know what it means to
be completely forgiven.

The only reason Paul could say Gods people were Holy because they have been purified
and cleansed. But for people who do not believe this or experience it, no wonder they
testify that they are caught without freedom, even to the extent of unbelief by saying
tomorrow they will sin. This is pure unbelief in Christ and His forgiveness.

Is it a big claim or is it just an acknowledgement that we do? Every genuine believer will wake up in the morning in the morning and pray " Jesus help me to be like you"

Yet also genuine belevers will wake up knowing that they will sin.

Why would that be?

From a few posts above.

I have not been to the BDF in about a year.
Glad to see nothings changed.
Just reaffirms my faith in this forum.
I will try again in another year.

You're testifying of yourself. That Day before God will reveal the truth of the matter, not your grandstanding and boasting. Your track record on here seems to tell another tale via your bearing false witness against many with zero repentance on your part.

You stand in judgement over another.

Yet you do so based on not knowing the heart of another.

This from a person who I asked

Do you disobey God?

To witch you said "I won't answer that until NMM until he answered to"

When he did you responded with something along the lines off

"I don't deliberately sin, if did there is no covering for it, yet if I sin without knowing I sin then it's covered"

Sin is sin.

For this reason the world doesn't recognize us, and it didn't recognize him either. 2 Dear friends, now we are God's children. What we will be isn't completely clear yet.

How ironic that you post Scripture on Christian behavior towards others then completely disobey it yourself in the very same post. Sorry for my boldness.

So proof of salvation to others is only known through - works?

Praise God that only He knows our hearts/souls. And guess what, He is the only one who counts.

Did you see the difference with what was said and the posted scripture below?

IT IS ONE THING TO SAY AND CLAIM AND ANOTHER THING TO DO AND WALK THE TALK.

Romans 3:3-4 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”

New International Version 1984 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 Apostles of Christ So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God. Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have become kings—and that without us! How I wish that you really had become kings so that we might be kings with you! For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world. I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children. Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate me. For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church. Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?

It's nice to see your group mocking me for posting something usually done here in CC yet noone among you dared to call him out for such name callings and abuse of posters whose aim is to share God's words giving more weight and glory to it than anybody else's words. And by the way, maybe you can clarify or just make it a bit closer to what I said in my reply to you regarding your last question to me. Here's for you friend:

New International Version 1984 Luke 6:27-46 Love for Enemies “But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ lend to ‘sinners,’ expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Judging Others “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” He also told them this parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. A Tree and Its Fruit “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. The Wise and Foolish Builders “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
