Easy believism version.Preacher: Do you believe you are a sinner? Sinner: Everybody is a sinner. Preacher: Do you believe Jesus died for sinners? Sinner: I think so. Preacher: Do you want to invite Jesus in your heart and save you. Sinner: I guess so. Preacher: Now pray after me and really, really meant it with all your heart. Sinner: OK. Next day the preacher goes to pick him up for church. The new convert comes to the door smoking a cigarette, drinking a can of beer with the woman he is living with. Sinner: I am not interested in going to church, don't come back. Preacher to congregation: Hey, we saved one yesterday, add him to the roll. What is wrong with this picture? |

Contender wrote: As I have stated many times before we do not know who the elect and non-elect are, only God does and therefore we are to proclaim the gospel to all as Christ instructed. It is not for us to tell sinners that God loves them, it is the operation of the Holy Spirit to confirm God's love in them. For some reason I cannot see Jesus telling the Pharisees that God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life, when in fact he said that they were of their father the Devil and called them a generation of vipers. I didn't see anywhere where John the Baptist told the Jews that God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life either. He told them to repent for the kingdom was at hand. The only time the love of God was mentioned in a personal way was to the disciples that followed him and in Paul's epistles to the believers in the church. Even the apostle John was writing to believers. Contender, you are correct, our job is to proclaim the gospel that Christ dies for sinners and if they repent of sin and come to Christ by faith they will be saved (whosoever). God the Father will draw His own by His power through the preaching and hearing of the word. |

So according to Mike and JD's version the bible should have been properly rendered;(Psa 26:5) I have loved less the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. (Psa 31:6) I have loved less them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. (Psa 101:3) I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I love less the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. (Psa 119:104) Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I love less every false way. (Psa 119:113) SAMECH. I love less vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. (Psa 119:163) I love less and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. (Pro 5:12) And say, How have I love less instruction, and my heart despised reproof; (Amo 5:21) I love less, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. (Amo 6:8) The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and love less his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. JD, you are the one who pumps the idea that words have meanings and defined by their context. That is why I posted verses that contain the same words, now all of a sudden it doesn't apply. You can't have your cake and eat it too! |

Mike wrote: God loved Esau less. That is interesting. The same Hebrew word for "hated" in Malachi 1:3 "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness." is the same Hebrew word in the following.(Psa 26:5) I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. (Psa 31:6) I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. (Psa 101:3) I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. (Psa 119:104) Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. (Psa 119:113) SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. (Psa 119:163) I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. (Pro 5:12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; (Amo 5:21) I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. (Amo 6:8) The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. (Zech 8:17) Mike, You may want to rethink your definition. |

Romans 8:29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."Notice the words "to be" were not in the original Greek. The word for "conformed" is συμμορφους ans is used as an adjective. Thus rendering the verse "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate, conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." We see that God predestinated those whom He foreknew. Romans 8:30 "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Then he called those who he predestined and justified them, then he glorifies those whom he justifies. -------- Mike from NY wrote: Lots of "willing" there, Lone. Don't you need a will in order to be willing? --------- Joh 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Instead of worrying about needing a will, are you willing? Are you willing to humble yourself and empty yourself before God? Are you willing to recognize your utter total depravity before God of any moral goodness to offer Him in exchange for salvati |

JD wrote: Lone Wolf is in far worse shape of the two, if you ask me, but if I believed what he says he believes I think I might want to shoot myself. Read what he wrote. It seems election is not the issue at all, but coming to the end of oneself so he might trust in God's offer of pardon. Someone help me here! What is so confusing for you JD? What part do you disagree with in my previous post? Then we'll talk. Are you willing to humble yourself and empty yourself before God? Are you willing to recognize your utter total depravity before God of any moral goodness to offer Him in exchange for salvation? Are you willing to recognize the righteousness of Christ as satisfying God's requirement for Heaven? Are you willing to recognize Christ as God's satisfaction for justice that he paid on the sinner's behalf? Are you willing to repent of sin and faith toward God? No JD, I am not the one in far worst shape here. I know my Redeemer in Jesus Christ, and He knows me. Do you? Eternity hangs in the balance. |

It is ANOTHER gospel, not the gospel of the bible and is an accursed gospel. It is a works based salvation. Try to get to theaven the best way you can, through Mary,St. Jude, St. Christopher, the Pope. It is based on doing the sacraments and good works, praying the rosary, confessing your sins to the priest, all works of self effort. And if you works aren't good enough your family can pay the priest to say enough masses to maybe get your soul out of purgatory. I was raised RC and know what I am talking about. You are forbidden to read the Holy Scriptures without the proper interpretation of the clergy. Jesus said that "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me." |
