...but faith alone is dead.
Jesus wants us to believe that we have to obey him.
For thousands of years the people only knew of God, and then He comes to earth as a Son of Man named Jesus and we are to go through Jesus does not mean obeying means to only have faith.
That is about God loving His creation. That is not about us personally, because God does not even have a personal relationship with you until you do what He says: 1 Corinthians 8:3 But whoever loves God is known by God; and 2 John 1:6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.
Luke 3:13 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Do you believe Jesus that unless you repent, you will perish?
Jesus says he saves those who obey him.
See, their deeds were evil and they didn't want to repent of them, didn't want to give up sinning.
See that, there are people do right and they want to come to the light because they have no problem wanting to stop sinning.
All good is from God, and the people who did any good, wanted it known that it is all God.
No. I think the Lordship preachers are Calvinists.

Yes I noticed that.
You replied and asked but a clear response not given and you were accused of said person not saying that by someone else.
If memory serves me Paul said it's better to not get married and serve the Lord but get married rather than burn with lust.
Something like this.

God bless you brother. You proclamation of confessing sins daily I say amen to.
And it is refreshing to hear. Among others I have not heard this for a long time.
Often things that divide us are not actual divisions but our attitude to sin and evil
very much can be. For many they reject confessing sins or even recognising them.
So God bless you brother

Believing in Jesus is as drinking his blood; and, obeying Jesus is as eating his flesh.
After we drink his blood and eat his flesh, Jesus gives us water to drink, which is the Holy Spirit.
John 8:51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death."
I am not talking about getting together to eat the Lord's Supper in remembrance.
I am talking about how to enter the covenant of his blood and to eat his body, the bread of life.

Language can be a problem here.
I could say unmerited favour is giving someone something without any expectation what they
do with it. So to give someone a large sum of money would be unmerited favour, because the
receiving person can do what they like with it.
But Gods gift in Christ is very much that we obey and follow Him. It is the reason for the gift
to open the door, and would never have been given if no one would ever walk the way.
But to emphasise the gift is given not because we are better than others, but just so that
we who were sinners can become members of the Kingdom of Heaven. So who receives
the gift is unmerited, because all can walk through the door.
Now if Christ are we divided or split, or do we not worship, serve and follow the same King.
So is our love big enough to bridge the gap of expression and emphasis and see God embraces
so many different types of people, until they stray too far away. I am still learning how wide
He blesses, because His heart and love is so generous, but He does withdraw as well, like
King Saul, called but failed in obedience.

The sin of unbelief in Jesus which he said the Holy Spirit must come to convict us off?
And when we repent of that sin and place our faith in Jesus and make him Lord then we are sealed by the Holy Spirit?
Let's start with this and not go further yet.
You say that guy like to discuss, so let's discuss the above .
