"Not by works" - false!

View attachment 217114

2 Peter 2:1
"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves".


I would like to contend that the notion that salvation is given to us ONLY in return for believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior is INCOMPLETE.


We ARE asked to believe in Jesus Christ for salvation:
Acts 16:30-31
" "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" ".


HOWEVER, Jesus repeatedly told people to stop sinning, and we are warned that if we deliberately/knowingly continue in sin following the acceptance of Jesus into our lives, Jesus' sacrifice will NOT cover these sins:
Hebrews 10:26
"Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins".

This of course makes sense.
If we SAY we follow Jesus but continue rebelling against God, then are we REALLY following Jesus?
Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter".


So then, we must accept Jesus into our lives and believe in him.
AND we must also stop rebelling against God, even after we have accepted Jesus into our lives.


What I have said may be obvious to many, but all the time I hear excuses from Christians to justify their sinning:
"Nobody is perfect" - nobody has said that you are
"God will forgive me" - actually, according to Matt 7:21, if you continue to sin after accepting Jesus, Jesus' sacrifice won't cover your sin (verse above)
"We're human, and humans are fallible" - typical excuse!
"It is impossible not to sin, as we are not perfect" - this article sums it up very well: https://www.gotquestions.org/go-and-sin-no-more.html
Have you heard these kind of excuses too?


Christians have no excuses for deliberately/knowingly sinning:
1 John 1:6
"If, then, we say that we have fellowship with him, yet at the same time live in the darkness, we are lying both in our words and in our actions".

P4T is not doing what you think, and if you read the whole thread, I think you would see lightskin agrees with the verses also,, he is just being attacked

david continued to commit adultry with Barhseba and his many wives, And I will call it what it is, sin, just like what lightskin is doing, I will call it what it is sin!



what lightskin is doing is sin, it is wrong, and I have never stated otherwise.
I am not excusing anything, I am agreeing with some of what he says, like you agree and give hearts to people who call others cowards. And slander them in other ways

Are you agreeing someone can live in sin, sleep routinely with a person out of wedlock, and still be saved? If so, you are on an unsustainable path. I’m talking about someone who on here says he’s still fooling around, and not showing repentance for doing it.

Yeah I did like what he said

you said You do not judge people because they have sex, but you judged this,person

its being called singling people out., I agree with him on that post

if your going to call lightskin out, you better be willing to call everyone out who commits the same sin

Listen, you accused me of saying something I didn't. I don't need a lecture from you when you were in the wrong - either apologize or hold thy peace.

Not lecturing you at all. Just giving you the word and what it says. Good bye.

...You appear mentally unstable.

In post 744, you accused me of being mentally unstable. See quote below.
I asked you to apologise and you refused, saying that you have nothing to apologise for.

Another case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Ignore is your friend.

I stand by what I posted, I still think you appear mentally unstable. I rebuked you for your creepy behaviour not for appearing mentally unstable.

Sackcloth-N-Ashes - Have you read what Lightskin said in posts 831,851, 892? I think he has given some good humble answers.

"I stand by what I posted..."

"I don't need a lecture..."

Hmmm, well actually I think you do!

But you are, and you are not repenting in sack cloth and ashes of your false accusation at me.
