What about all those scriptures that say otherwise?

Paul was explaining that no one who only tries to please the flesh can please God.

Those who only want to please their flesh don't want to repent.

Those in the flesh can't please God, can't be subject to God.

Those in the flesh can't please God, can't be subject to God.

I gave you scriptures that say there are those who please God.

Those who only want to please their flesh cannot please Him.

These scriptures tell us why people do not believe in God, and none of the scriptures say what Calvinists say.

They are stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, and they always resist the Holy Ghost.

They are obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations--

They do evil in God's sight and chose what displeases Him.

That which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations,

They exchange the truth of God for a lie.

They are self-seeking and they reject the truth and follow evil.

They do not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God.

They are hostile to God.

They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

They have been deceived by sin.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Their minds are on earthly things.

When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

There are those who hear the word of God but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. And there are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. There are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

They are stubborn and follow their own devices.

They are stubborn; the sinews of their neck are iron, their forehead are bronze.

They have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away.

They do not listen or pay attention; instead, they follow the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They go backward and not forward.

They have stubborn pride.

They refuse to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

They are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the LORD’s instruction.

Stubborn like a heifer. How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs in a meadow?

John 3:19, 20; Acts 7:51; Isaiah30:9; 65:2; 65:11,12; Romans 1:19-21; 1:25; 1:28; 2:8; 8:7; 2 Thessalonians 2:10; Hebrews 3:13; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4; Philippians 3:19; Matthew 13:19; Luke 8:11-16; Psalm 81:12; Isaiah 48:4; Jeremiah 5:23; 7:24; Leviticus 26:19; Judges 2:19; Hosea 4:16.

Those in the flesh can't please God.

Again Heb 9:14

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living​ God?

The Blood of Christ not only Justifies us but it causes us to serve the living God.

Every person whom Christ's Blood was shed for shall be made Spiritually Alive in New Birth, and given Faith Gal. 5:22 to serve the True and Living God; giving Him the Spiritual Worship He is so deserving of.

John 4:23-24

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Now obviously, this doesn't occur in all men without exception, which proves that Christ's Atonement was Limited; or we deny the Power of the Blood of Christ to save all for whom it was shed!

Jesus died for all, repentant and unrepentant.

1 John 2:2 New International Version (NIV)

2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

Those in the flesh cant please God Rom 8:8


Absolutely Brother!

Only once a person is Given New Birth John 3:27, Born of the Spirit, can he please God Rom. 8:9.

And New Birth is received passively: It's beyond any man's control!


Rom. 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

In other words, as long as a person remains unregenerate he remains a slave to sin.

Amen and especially a slave to the sin of unbelief !


Those whose sins Christ died for 1 Cor. 15:3, definitely included the sin of unbelief.
So they can't be condemned for it as those slaves of unbelief in John 3:18.
