All Of Israel, Or Just A Remnant?

Those who die in unbelief WILL NOT be saved. PERIOD,.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
7:23-25 This passage does not represent the apostle as one that walked after the flesh, but as one that had it greatly at heart, not to walk so. And if there are those who abuse this passage, as they also do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction, yet serious Christians find cause to bless God for having thus provided for their support and comfort. We are not, because of the abuse of such as are blinded by their own lusts, to find fault with the scripture, or any just and well warranted interpretation of it. And no man who is not engaged in this conflict, can clearly understand the meaning of these words, or rightly judge concerning this painful conflict, which led the apostle to bemoan himself as a wretched man, constrained to what he abhorred. He could not deliver himself; and this made him the more fervently thank God for the way of salvation revealed through Jesus Christ, which promised him, in the end, deliverance from this enemy. So then, says he, I myself, with my mind, my prevailing judgement, affections, and purposes, as a regenerate man, by Divine grace, serve and obey the law of God; but with the flesh, the carnal nature, the remains of depravity, I serve the law of sin, which wars against the law of my mind. Not serving it so as to live in it, or to allow it, but as unable to free himself from it, even in his very best state, and needing to look for help and deliverance out of himself. It is evident that he thanks God for Christ, as our deliverer, as our atonement and righteousness in himself, and not because of any holiness wrought in us. He knew of no such salvation, and disowned any such title to it. He was willing to act in all points agreeable to the law, in his mind and conscience, but was hindered by indwelling sin, and never attained the perfection the law requires. What can be deliverance for a man always sinful, but the free grace of God, as offered in Christ Jesus? The power of Divine grace, and of the Holy Spirit, could root out sin from our hearts even in this life, if Divine wisdom had not otherwise thought fit. But it is suffered, that Christians might constantly feel, and understand thoroughly, the wretched state from which Divine grace saves them; might be kept from trusting in themselves; and might ever hold all their consolation and hope, from the rich and free grace of God in Christ.

Henry makes it clear that all those who abide in unbelief are lost. Not saved.

Galatians 5:4 and 6b ~ You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

Galatians 5:4 and 6b ~ You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

That guy looks like he would never lose a staring contest.

Jews who die in unbelief will NOT be saved. ALL who desire eternal life MUST confess the name of Jesus as the promised Messiah, Lord and Savior who shed His precious blood for the sins of all mankind who freely choose to believe in Him,

I'll give it a try 😂

So sins that haven't been paid for are forgiven?

If anyone should it would be you! LOL (since I designed a panel with a male face as a result of your urging .).

PS~ that's the only new one I have started this year, though I have done some editing of older ones more recently...

You're off to a good start Mags😀 and I like the verse he's quoting... 'all that matters is faith expressed through love' 😍👍

All sin is paid for Jesus gave us a way to be forgiven

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

David committed adultery and many other things after but he learned

“When I kept silence, my bones waxed old Through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭32:3-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: And my sin is ever before me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51:1-3, 6, 10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51:17‬ ‭KJV‬

when we realize we’ve sinned we really do need to confess and deal with it between ourselves and God in repentance it should bother us alot when we realize we’re sinning that will lead to repentance acknowledging our sins in prayer to God is really a part of our doctrine

“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. …..Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:3, 6-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

repentence and confession is a doctrine for when we realize we have sinned. Our goal of course is to live upright lives in his Will and not in the devils Will ( sin ) but sometimes we fall short for various reasons when we do we can deal with it like Jesus and the word teaches us and he takes away the sin he died for on the cross

Because he died his ways of dealing with sin are also the ways we need to accept

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s important that it’s a teaching of Christ . a teaching about our father in heaven it’s the son teaching the children about thier fathers ways of mercy and truth and forgiveness.

“And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭11:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

you know those scriptures “ whatever you bind in earth shall be bound in heaven ? That’s how it’s applied if we bind sin to others who sin against us and judge them and condemn them , we’re judging ourselves that way in the end. It’s how we’ll be treated by Jesus who taught those things

confessing our sins is the same. If you did a wrong to someone in your life you really loved , you would feel bad and you would address it and say I was wrong , forgive me ect ….. we shouldn’t think we’re lost forever because we sinned yesterday , but should accept the things Jesus taught regarding sin and forgivness also

hes not condemning us but teaching repentance and giving us grace and forbearance when we fail but still believe and continue on

Thanks, Tabs! I'm startin' to itch to get back to designing again...

Got a verse suggestion?

Not at a loss there, lol, I'll get back to you on that😄

Again. That's what it says. In this case, the meaning escapes you.

God the Son existed before time and space. He was not a Jew. He also did not have the flesh of a man. In the fullness of time, He appeared in the earth as a Jew. He died as a Jew. BUT He was resurrected with a different body, not the natural body given to Him by His mother. He was raised with an incorruptible body.

Christ is not a Jew. Christ is the preeminent Spirit that existed before time began.

P.S. Not even curious about "son of David" passage? That's not a natural lineage. He was not David's natural son by the flesh. So, what's the meaning here? Certainly not saying that David was his natural father, right?

Thanks for the response. I was asking a particular poster who was saying the basis for forgiveness was confession and not the cross.

Christ forgave sins before the cross.
