Not By Works

[Discern]

I really do not get the sense that was what you were after.. the question seemed to be more around if such a person was actually saved ... I personally think hypothetical statements are best used in grade eight science class.

Paul told the Corinthians to examine themselves whether they were in the faith. Take it up with him if you have issues with me saying that if a person can blithely leave his wife and become an harlot, or if a man can be a habitual liar, or unforgiving, or a blasphemer or a sorcerer or a thief, that such an one does well to take inventory and make sure he is not an unregenerate person. That is, examine himself

The Bible is clear about those who practice such things. Add that to your doctrine and keep osas and you do well. Because what the Bible says about practices of such things is just as biblical as Jesus loses none of His own

 

[dcontroversal]

You do realize that Paul uses hypothetical questions, right? I think Paul’s education was slightly better than an eighth grader🙄

Three things....

a. The bible is it's best commentary

b. Paul was inspired and the bible covers everything

C. And not mouthing, but you and I are not Paul, neither are we inspired to add our own hypothetical situations to the word.

We should not go beyond what is given in the word, it is sufficient

 

[PS]

I did answer it.......and my post stands...........sin is not the issue....FAITH is the issue.....either your sin has been paid or you are still dead in it....

quote and explain why the HOLY SPIRIT convinces of SIN <----BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT IN ME....and do me a favour....DO NOT EVER put words in my mouth again that I did not say.....EVER! Because that makes you as bad as these deceivers that ADD or embellish what we say.

THIS---->>>>Is this what the apostles taught? That sin in a professing Christians life is not an issue?

Heb 10:26-27 ISV
(26) For if we choose to go on sinning after we have learned the full truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
(27) but only a terrifying prospect of judgment and a raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

If a person is in willful, habitual sin and is fine with it, is it possible that person was never saved. Not talking about other people, if a person is in habitual deliberate sin, is it possible they are deceiving themselves? Yes or no

Not talking about us judging them, talking about a person examining themselves.

It’s basic bible 101.

I am not God, I can not judge.

your asking me to judge,

ps, all sin is willfull. You do not do something you Really deep down do not want to do.

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Ok, how about lying? If I am a habitual liar, might I be deceived about thinking I’m a Christian? Is it POSSIBLE? Not talking about positively stating it.

What is your besetting sin? Are you saved in spite of that sin?

don’t say you do not have one, everyone has one, even Paul.

 

[eternally-gratefull]

If I hate my brother, might I be still in darkness rather than light?

why are you so focused on sin?

your starting to worry me.

your claiming your better than them. Is that really true?

 

[eternally-gratefull]

A lot of people have false assurance and listen to lying spirits. Do the scriptures teach us how to identify false assurance and lying spirits?

why are you trying to be a fruit inspector?

if a person has a serious sin issue, you take them aside is that not correct?

it is not our job to judge, but to serve and help

 

[eternally-gratefull]

ok, so if I Walk in a lifestyle of darkness, is it hypothetically possible I am not saved, that I am self deceived? Yes or no? Just about anyone can answer this question point blank.

Does the Bible tell us how we can know we are of the truth? Not subjective feeling but objective reality

Smh

if you live a habitual lifestyle of sin )not just one sin habit)

the Bible says you have never seen God.

but how can you a person lives a habitual lifestyle of sin?

jesus said the pharisee did this, yet on the outside, they looked clean.

we are in serious danger if we start to judge people

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Almost ANY OSAS proponent would say YES. I can’t think of one reputable osas teacher that would say no. Can you?

He who sins has never seen or known God.

what is your trip dude?

this is a works thread not a snactification thread. Your seriously off topic

You said we need to get past sin being an issue. First sentence of post. Did not put words in your mouth

For salvation yes

faith is the issue not sin

did you forget you are in a how do we get saved thread?
if sin is an issue in salvation, then no one is saved, period!

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Moot because of this.....

David loved the Lord, was a man after God's own heart, chosen by GOD, writes most Psalms, and yet committed a premeditate murder to cover up adultery and a a child....Under the law he should have been stoned to death yet GOD shows mercy and a big picture of JESUS in the fact that the INNOCENT son of DAVID took his place in DEATH <---Just as JESUS does......

YET he never lost salvation (the joy of salvation yes)
He suffered rebellion in his house
He suffered the sword in his house all the days of his life
He suffered physically with disease

ALL chastening of the LORD........

HAVE mercy on me thou SON of DAVID <---cried the old man

SALVATION is eternally secure, we cannot lose it, forfeit it, give it away.........

and yes, both are possible <---IE.....either he was never saved or he is saved and wayward yet eternally secure in his position as a son

This is he only correct answer.. amen

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Actually, there is something I would like to point out.

Do you see how the BOLDED portion shows that the question is not a moot point actually? Because if it is possible that such person was never saved, it really is not a moot point now, is it?

No, not really

we should look at the persons faith, or should a rather say that person should look at his faith.

as DC said, sin is not the issue, faith is

God will take care of the sin issue, through chastening and whatever means he has if the person is a child. If the person is not a child. He will continue with no repercussions.

Jesus said in that verse he never knew them. If the verses were referring to born again believers, the addition of the word never would not be there because in that case he would have knew them for a time and then did not.

The workers can not fathom, jesus was talking to THEM, not licentious believers

a licentious believer would not be puffinng up their works, they did not have any!

This is what happens to those who take away from the words of the book of this prophecy. God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Rev 22:19) They are blotted out of the Lambs book of Life (Psa 69:28) as if they never existed, the same as the sins of the righteous are blotted out in the sea of His forgetfulness never to be remembered against us any more, and Jesus will say to the unrighteous, “I never knew you.”

this will happen to you if you do not repent.
from everything you preach, i do not see how anything else could be true

Glad this one ain't mine

Here are the pictures you asked for: His name is Cooper, very friendly with people who stop and stroke him, children and other dogs. He just loves to play. The bottom picture is where I sit at the computer, right where I am now. The big black one is an Irish Wolfhound X with a Labrador. She used to pick Cooper up by the scruff and carry him along when Cooper was a puppy. Nora belongs to a friend, he lives just down the road.

another passage taken out of context.

you must be sinless, because according to the way you teach, that is your only hope.

if you sin, which John says you do, there is no hope fo you, you are doomed, Jesus died over 2000 years ago, he ain’t coming back to die for your yet to be forgiven sin,

The debt is paid for those who follow Him all the days of their life.

What about those on their deathbed , who have minutes to live ? , who have lived their whole life as an enemy of God , yet God calls them before they have taken their last breath , they never had no life left to follow Him all the days of their life...

We still have to take into account the law

according to the law. who is worthy?

It’s one thing to claim you follow and try to be like christ

its another to be worthy of eternal life.
