OSAS AND FAS ARE FALSE MAN MADE DOCTRINES THAT PROMOTES DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD AND REJECTS AND NULLIFIES GOD'S WORDS AND COMMANDS. (mark 7:6-13, Isaiah 5:20-24)



SO DO NOT LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU...FOR THE WRATH OF GOD COMES ON THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT.(Ephesians 5:6)



OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR THOSE WHO OBEY HIM (Hebrews 5:8-9) SAID:



Revelation 3:1-3 To the Church in Sardis “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR DEEDS COMPLETE in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have RECEIVED and HEARD ; OBEY IT and REPENT. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.



JESUS HAVE NOT FOUND THEIR DEEDS "COMPLETE" IN THE EYES OF GOD.



THEN HE TOLD THEM TO "OBEY" WHAT THEY RECEIVED AND HEARD AND TO REPENT.



JESUS WAS SPEAKING HERE TO ONE OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES AND WE KNOW THAT THE "CHURCH" IS THE BODY OF CHRIST WHOM HE WILL SAVE. (eph 5:23)



WHY WILL HE SAY THAT THEIR DEEDS ARE NOT COMPLETE IF WORKS ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR SALVATION AND THAT "FAITH ALONE" SAVES?



WHY WOULD JESUS COMMAND THEM TO OBEY AND REPENT IF IT
IS NO LONGER NECESSARY SINCE THEY ARE SAVED ETERNALLY? (OSAS)



IS JESUS IGNORANT OF THIS DOCTRINE OR IS IT CONTRARY TO HIS TEACHINGS AND COMMANDS AND THEREFORE ARE JUST FALSE MAN MADE DOCTRINE THAT NULLIFIES GOD'S WORDS?



JESUS AND HIS FATHER REQUIRE SOME WORKS TO BE COMPLETED AND ASKED FOR OBEDIENCE AND REPENTANCE.



Romans 8:4 in order that the righteous REQUIREMENTS of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.



Malachi 3:14 “You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by CARRYING OUT HIS REQUIREMENTS and going about like mourners before the Lord Almighty?



GOD REQUIRES OBEDIENCE AND REPENTANCE IN OUR PART OTHERWISE HIS WRATH WILL COME ON THOSE WHO ARE "DISOBEDIENT".(eph 5:6 )



Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?



John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.



2 John 1:6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.



DO NOT BE DECEIVED... GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED...WE REAP WHAT WE SOW...(Galatians 6:7-10)



NOW IF FAITH ALONE SAVES AND ONCE SAVED, YOU ARE ALWAYS SAVED, DOES THIS PASSAGE BELOW CONTRADICT THESE FALSE MAN MADE DOCTRINE OR DO YOU REJECT IT OR TWIST IT TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD FIT YOUR DOCTRINE?



Matthew 24:9-14 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM THE FAITH and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, THE LOVE OF MOST WILL GROW COLD, but HE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED . And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.



MANY WHO HAS FAITH WILL TURN AWAY FROM THEIR FAITH.



ARE THEY STILL SAVED AFTER TURNING AWAY FROM THEIR FAITH(ALONE)?



DO YOU MOCK GOD AND REJECT THESE VERSES BELOW?



Galatians 6:7-10 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature WILL REAP DESTRUCTION; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit WILL REAP ETERNAL LIFE. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.



James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD..

"LET GOD BE TRUE..." (Romans 3:3-4)

 

[Seohce]

19Go ye therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


OUR LORD JESUS BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE FATHER INSTRUCTED HIS DISCIPLES TO TEACH OBEDIENCE UNTO ALL NATIONS.


IF ANYONE WOULD TEACH THAT OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD, TEACHINGS, LAWS AND COMMANDS, IS NOT NECESSARY OR PART OF SALVATION, DOES HE NOT TEACH CONTRARY TO THE LORD’S TEACHINGS?


WHEN THE LORD SAID THAT “IF YOU WANT TO ENTER LIFE, OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS”, AND SOMEONE ELSE WOULD SAY THAT OBEDIENCE TO GOD WILL NOT SAVE ANYONE BECAUSE “FAITH ALONE SAVES”. IS IT NOT A CLEAR REJECTION, NULLIFICATION, DISRESPECT, DISOBEDIENCE, UNBELIEF AND MOCKERY OF GOD’S WORD?


15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16They profess that they know God; BUT IN WORKS THEY DENY HIM, being ABOMINABLE, and DISOBEDIENT and unto every good work REPROBATE.


4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, TURNING THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO (A LICENSE FOR) LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.


...Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men….Full well ye reject the commandment of God... making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.(mark 7:6-13)


...because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.(isaiah 5:20-24)


...Be not deceived; GÒD IS NOT MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.(galatians 6:7-10)


32who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are WORTHY OF DEATH, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things COMETH THE WRATH OF .GOD ÙPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE


MAN GOT SEPARATED FROM GOD BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE WHEN MAN WAS DECEIVED BY THE SERPENT WHO SAID THAT “...Ye shall not surely die.”(genesis 3:4)


DÈCEIVERS OF THIS AGE SAYS THE SAME THING;


“YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE (PERIßH / BE CONDEMNED). ONCE YOU'RE SAVED, YOU ARE ALWAYS ßAVED. JUST HAVE FAITH VOID OF WORKS (OF RIGHTEOUSNESS / ÒBEDIENCE) AND YOU WILL POSSESS ETERNAL LIFE THE MOMENT YOU BELIEVE.



IS IT NOT APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE AND FACE JUDGMENT AFTER? (hebrews 9:27-28)


11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw THE DEAD, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOÙND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.


“FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD”


JESUS HAS NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS COMPLETE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. REMEMBER THEREFORE WHÀT YOU HEARD AND RECEIVED. OBEY IT, AND REPENT.(revelations 3:1-6)



47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48HE THAT REJECTETH ME, and RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS, hath one that judgeth him: THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL. JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. 49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

This is a false notion regarding OSAS/FAS...

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Seems to me Studyman is saying He wants to do the will of Messiah...So In your view would seeking to be a doulos/bond slave of the Messiah wanting to do His will be exalting oneself or humbling oneself?

None of us are perfect, we all have struggles, we have all sinned, yet the way I see it, the person that uses the strength, mind, body and will YHWH has given them and chooses to use it seeking Yah's will. That would be the definition of humbling oneself before Yah...


Matthew 25:14-30,
14 for it is like a man going from home, who called his own servants and delivered his possessions to them."

15 “And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability, and went from home."

16 “And he who had received the five talents went and worked with them, and made another five talents."

17 “In the same way, he with the two also, he gained two more."

18 “But he who had received the one went away and dug in the ground, and hid the silver of his master."

19 “And after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them."

20 “And he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents besides them.’"

21 “And his master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant. You were trustworthy over a little, I shall set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’"

22 “Then he who had received two talents came and said, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained two more talents besides them.’"

23 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant. You were trustworthy over a little, I shall set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’"

24 “And the one who had received the one talent also came and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed,"

25 and being afraid, I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’"

26 “And his master answering, said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed."

27 Then you should have put my silver with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest."

28 Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to him who possesses ten talents."

29 ‘For to everyone who possesses, more shall be given, and he shall have overflowingly; but from him who does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away.

30 And throw the worthless servant out into the outer darkness – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’"


The day when seeking to do His will is criticised as "exalting oneself" is the day the grace perversion is iniquity (Lawlessness).

He is doingitin order to gain, maintain salvation, thus he practices self righteousness, nt Christs righteousness.

Trying to compair that righteousness which comes from pride, and us who want to obay god out of appreciation for the fact he has saved us, in gratitude and thanksgiving is like trying to compair apples and oranges, they do not mix

I do pray one day the modern day pharisee movement will see this and repent. .

 

[mailmandan]

This is a false notion regarding OSAS/FAS...

Amen! It's just longwinded propaganda and nonsense.

 

[posthuman]

Now you are continuing to misrepresent our conversation to further exalt yourself over those you have deemed yourself superior to.

This is your religion.

hmm so what exactly is it you yourself are doing....?

 

[Studyman]

Thanks, you just proved me right,

End of discussion.

Now stop insisting you trust god when you do not

I just don't trust the god you created EG. I Trust the Word which became Flesh.

 

[posthuman]

I just don't trust the god you created EG. I Trust the Word which became Flesh.

see i think this is slander. it seems to be a clearly spurious and false allegation that EG created a god.
there's no need to speak this way.

 

[posthuman]

the Word which became Flesh

this is Who was nailed to the cross

 

[eternally-gratefull]

I just don't trust the god you created EG. I Trust the Word which became Flesh.

You do not trust god, your still trying to save yourself. And when anyone tries to confront you, this is your response, which is no response at all

Everyone sees it, you can talk all you want. Your not fooling anyone

 

[eternally-gratefull]

see i think this is slander. it seems to be a clearly spurious and false allegation that EG created a god.
there's no need to speak this way.

Sadly it is all they have, this is a sign somene who has pure faith in what they believe does not have to lower themselves to this type of attack.

 

[posthuman]

19Go ye therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


OUR LORD JESUS BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE FATHER INSTRUCTED HIS DISCIPLES TO TEACH OBEDIENCE UNTO ALL NATIONS.

if "all things" He commanded means the Law of Moses ((as some say)) then what grounds is there to set aside sacrifice, meat and drink, feasts and new moon festivals, clothing, beard trimming, tithes to the temple the Levite and the poor, purifications, separation from the ritually unclean, forbidding to marry Gentiles, jubilee, death penalties for sin, circumcision of the flesh and all other things in the Law - - yet command ritual sabbath proscriptions and deeds?
isn't it all or nothing? what grounds are there in scripture to separate the Law into parts and disregard some and judge one another by others?

or does He speak of His own commands while He walked among men in the flesh?

no one i know of preaches disobedience. i hear them say obey the royal law, believe in His work, and walk in Him without fear of condemnation, knowing that He is who upholds us and has sanctified us. do good because it's who He created us to be, and declared us in Him to be, not in order to become unleavened but because He has already made us unleavened by His word.

what matters is a new creation - - amen, walk that way! but don't think the walking is the creation of the new creature. the creatures are born long before their legs learn to walk.

You do not trust god, your still trying to save yourself. And when anyone tries to confront you, this is your response, which is no response at all

needs to studyman any like him are obsessed with the letter of the Law. I bet he, or any of them, have studied the purpose of the Law, and how we are to live out the intent of the Law.

they will not accept that when Paul stated that " the letter kills, but the Sprit gives life", he spoke absolute truth.

[dcontroversal]

Some people do not like to admit it is God who finshes our faith, not ouselves, they refuse to give control tthe god, then get mad when peopl call them out on it.

Begins, finishes, completes, keeps, irrevocable, cannot deny himself, sealed, eternal, everlasting, uttermost etc....All words rejected, denied, chunked, embellished, twisted etc. by the Cainologists, workers for, lawyers and Pharisee religionists.....

 

[Studyman]

And you just described WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS in you OPENING COMMENT.

Used the way you worded it is a pretty good indication that you believe SALVATION and SANCTIFICATION is all part of the SALVATION PROCESS. SALVATION WAS BOUGHT and PAID FOR ON THE CROSS, lock, stock, and barrel, and HE GAVE IT TO US AS A GIFT. Sanctification is a process where we strive to become more and more like CHRIST HIMSELF, and it will NOT be complete until HE GIVES US THE GLORIFIED BODY THAT CANNOT EVEN THINK A SIN, at the Resurrection.

Now let's look at what it REALLY SAYS:

Matthew 10:22 (HCSB)
22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.


You see that Greek word "sôzô", has several different Meanings. It can mean delivered, restored, preserved, cured, made well, and recovered. SINCE WE KNOW THAT GOD SAID "You have been SAVED by GRACE through FAITH, and that is NOT of yourselves, it is the Gift of GOD." It cannot mean SALVATION, in that instance, IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE OTHER MEANINGS. WHY? BECAUSE GOD DID NOT MAKE ANY CONTRADICTIONS, it is US that made the mistake, NOT GOD.

2 Timothy 1:9 (HCSB)
9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.

Titus 3:5-8 (HCSB)
5 He saved us— not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
6 He poured out this ⌊Spirit⌋ on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
8 This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.

John 10:27-28 (HCSB)
27 My sheep hear My voice, I know them {Born Again}, and they follow Me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand.

Romans 3:23-24 (HCSB)
23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
24 They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:1 (HCSB)
1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Your Works of Righteousness and your Obediences HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION. IT IS PART OF OUR LOVE FOR HIM, and we cannot even claim credit for that, it is part of the HARVEST, after the HOLY SPIRIT POURED GOD's LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS:


Romans 5:5 (HCSB)
5 This hope will not disappoint ⌊us⌋, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

God's Salvation existed long before I was even born. His Salvation existed before I even knew Him, or of Him.

So in this respect, I had nothing to do with His Salvation. I didn't create it, my participation doesn't change it and I have never even implied anything differently. But the Bible is clear, not every one is saved.

Matt. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

I don't believe in your religion VCO. Because Jesus doesn't teach what you preach. According to Him, we have a Covenant together.

He doesn't repent for me, He doesn't carry my cross for me, and He doesn't follow Him Self for me. He gives me the strength to do these things, but I must humble myself to Him and His Salvation plan first. This is called repentance.

Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

None of the scriptures you posted, even in your new age translation, refutes this belief.

I know "many" will never agree because Jesus also teaches this:

Luke 16:
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead

WE are Labourers together to reconcile me to God. You can find another way if you like, "many" have tried, and maybe you have.

But the Bible teaches that only Faith in the Christ of the Bible leads to eternal life. And faith without works is dead. Since we all have "works" every day, should we follow the works created by God which He before ordained that we should walk in them? Or should our works be determined by which religious franchise we belong to?

Since He is the Rock, He never changes contrary to religious traditions which change from generation to generation, and His Word's Last forever while religious men come and go with each passing generation.

So though your religion sounds appealing, and there are "many" who have chosen to enter in through it, I am going to stick with the Christ and His Works.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Neither he nor the Phariseeical Lawyer obeys and or follows the law...

 

[TruthTalk]

I marvel how you guys can erase God's Word from my post as though they were not there, and exalt yourself in such a manner with no shame or consciousness. As though such behavior is honest and Christ like and not evil.

But then I remember how the Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time treated Him and His Apostles when they shared His Word with them. Then I Glory in the Wisdom and Perfect Power of the Christ to know 2000 years ago how you would respond to His Words, and to those who strive to follow them. So I am encouraged by your scorn.

"So I am encouraged by your scorn." This is how you see the world around you, but it is a false view. Jesus would not speak to His followers like you do. Repent and believe the Good News!

Rom. 12:
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to (the religions of) this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It's always about what God's Word teaches VS. what religious man preaches for me EG.

I know we will never agree, I just wanted to expose your false teaching that those who trust the Christ and His instructions do not do so because they believe that God needs their help to save them.

It's called "Being faithful". But you can't understand such a concept because you have been convinced man does not participate in their own salvation.

Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead

You did not expose anything, you proved me right, you proved you teach that salvation must be maintained by what we do, thus proving beyond all measure that it is not God you are entrusting, but yourself,

You can post 1000 verses which you think prove you right, but it does. Ot mean your right, you have been here for along time, so many people have shown you what those verses mean, you just attack them, like you have done myself numerous times, to be honest, why people still respond to you boggles my mind, your like a broken record.

Anyway, for those who are wondering,

who does God word? His children who have been justified,

Who obeys gods commands? Again, his children who have been justified
