jago wrote: Pilut, have another look. Salvation is not even a word in the sentence. jago,Correction, but it is. "For by grace are ye "saved" through faith and that not of yourselves. "It" is a nueter pronoun and thus must refer back to a neuter antecedent, of which "grace" nor "faith" are not. They are feminine nouns. Incidentally, Socrates from Iowa is also correct in "Faith is a gift of grace poured out on all whom the Holy Spirit has regenerated in the new birth. We can not have true faith till we have been circumsized of the heart and now love the God whom we as enimies before hated. Eph 2:8-9 Eze.36:26-27 Deut 30:6 The dead must be given life before we have faith Eph 2:1f" Faith is given as a fruit of the Spirit and not a work of the flesh. Since a corrupt tree cannot bare good fruit unto salvation, only one regenerated by the Holy Spirit can have saving faith. |

Michael,While you are in the house, maybe you can answer the question. How was Lazarus able to answer the call from Jesus to come forth when he was dead? Mike from NY. You still missed the point. If you talk to a corpse, what are the chances it will answer you. Wouldn't Lazarus have to be quickened from the dead to answer the call of Jesus to come forth? |

Michael Hranek wrote: Observation Post It would be my opinion that we do ourselves great disservice and don't nearly honor God anywhere we should when we "chop up" the salvation He gives us in Jesus Christ at such great cost to Himself instead of standing in absolute of the completeness of what Jesus has accomplished for us. Further I believe such 'chopping up' of Salvation can stunt a person in their faith and hinder their growth as a child of God. Romans 8:29 For whom he did (1) foreknow, he also did (2) predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did (2) predestinate, (3) them he also called: and whom he called, (4) them he also justified: and whom he justified, (5) them he also glorified. Michael, It is the word of God that rightly divides the order of salvation. It begins with the foreknowledge of God. Those whom He has chosen from before the foundation of the world. Then predestination, then calling, then justification, then sanctification and finally glorification. |

Michael Hranek wrote: Observation Post Can anyone be save, and that would be from the wrath of God apart from justification? Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Man has not the ability, morally or otherwise to save himself, save the grace of God. If salvation were left up to man, he woulld be trying to work his way into heaven by every means necessary even his free-will. That is why it is impossible for men, but with God, all things are possible. Michael, from reading your post, I believe you are closer to the truth that those like JD/Casob who deny the power of sin and the necessity f God sovereignly intervening to deliver them and free them from the bondage it has on them. Don't worry about labels, keep seeking the truth as it is laid out in scripture, keeping in mind the sinfulness of man and the holiness of God. |

Casob wrote: The "solas" are appealing to the worthless fleshly pride of religious humanity and is a means to draw attention to the elevated status with which they regard themselves. (In My Opinion) Minnow wrote: JD It is criminal of you to post to me. You are supposed to be ignoring me. Now don't dare indulge in such "fleshly pride" again. Minnow, don't you find his remark interesting. It is that same group that teaches that you can get saved by your own power and that they can by their own power conquer sin, repent and turn to Christ without the sovereign grace and power of God. Talk about "fleshlly pride". It is that same group that teaches that the Old Testament saints are not as as elite as the New Testament saints and will not be resurrected at the same time. It is that same group that teaches that only the New Testament saints are "in Christ" disregarding the fact that Christ was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. He also maintains that the atonement of Christ was not retroactive to OT believers like Abraham, Moses and even John the Baptist. Talk about fleshly pride. |

Mike, the "thees" and "thous" pertains to the second person singular or plural and the part of speech.Nominative case Thou art worthy (2nd person singular) Ye must be born again (2nd person plural) Objective case I say unto thee (2nd person singular) I say unto you (2nd person plural) Possessive case Thy word is a lamp (2nd person singular) Your words shall betray you (2 person plural) The NKJV does not make those distinctions |

rogerant,However we are faced with one problem. It appears in the Greek numerics, they are all in the plural. For example, in the parables (Matt. 18:12) it refers to "an hundred sheep", (Mark 4:20) "And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred." The Greek word for "hundred" εκατον is also in the plural. Does that mean "hundreds of sheep" or the individual brought forth hundreds of fruit? Also in Rev. 20, in the Greek, the word "chilia" is preceeded by a definite article "ta" which could be translated "the". The Greek word for "years" ετη is also in the plural. |
