False Equivalency! Was Cameron talking about God's judgment or God's gospel of salvation? Yes, the final arbiter on Judgement Day will be Christ, but is Christ the final arbiter of man's eternal destiny prior to the Day of the Lord? Or is the sinner in charge of his eternal destiny in this age?
“Or is the sinner in charge of his eternal destiny in this age?”
“
I came not
to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32
“I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but
he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
“Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
If they humble themselves and listen to Jesus yeah they are actually he gave us that choice to be saved gave the choice to everyone
“Know ye not, that
to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Romans 6:16
weve all served sin now it’s time to serve god and live
“I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for
as ye have ( inthe past
)yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.”
Romans 6:19 KJV
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Romans 8:12-13 KJV
If we refuse to listen to the word telling us though and don’t believe it then we’ll never have a choice we won’t even acknowledge there is one
It seems the sinner is off course and needs to correct so they don’t run off the cliff …..
if only someone had come and told them the truth and then called them to believe him and follow him home .
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
James 4:10 NIV
hard for the chosen ones who are treated differently than other and will never be judged like the other sinners to do that though
But it even gets worse for you because none of the passages you cite teach anything about man's spiritual/moral ability. You're engaging in circular reasoning through your eisegesis. You reason along these lines: Commands in the bible logically infer ability, therefore, Mat 7:7 is teaching that we all have that kind of ability.
