Who are NOT ungodly.
But false religionists advocate that man naturally has spiritual ability, he has the ability to believe, to have faith, to come to God, to repent, to obey God Spiritually and on and on, in total contradiction to the Testimony of scripture !
The Lord is Our Strength in and through the Power of His Spirit that He gives to us in New Birth. All ability to act, be it Spiritual Faith, Repentance or any Gospel Obedience, its because enablement of the Spirit He gives to us in New Birth !
The fact is, by Nature prior to New Birth, a New Creation, men have no Righteousness before God nor no Strength or ability to advance toward God !
Uh, please review each point with me posted in post 880 ? Then I will answer that specific question, but only after your review with me !
notwithstanding the inserts, but nevertheless it is Rom 5:6.Rom 5:6

Since you seem to agree with B57, maybe you can help this poor soul in simply answering a simple question regarding Rom 5:6.beloved
Yes. Because God has sent them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie. (2Thes. 2:11).
Their minds have been blinded to the Truth (2 Cor. 4:3-4).
Satan comes as an angel of light, in such complete deception that those who follow him think that they
are serving Christ. They have actually been blinded by satan, and so are unable to see the light of the Gospel.
Only God Himself can rescue and deliver them out of the power of satan from unbelief of the Truth. (Acts 26:18)
If a person maintains that he believed in order to get himself saved,
then he actually believes he has saved himself out of the bondage of satan.
And that is heresy!
The truth is that a person, whom God has not saved by His Grace,
is spiritually powerless to believe the Gospel because it is hid from him. (2 Cor. 4:3)
beloved
Amen!

Post 880 is not going to help you unless you don't know what you stated or don't understand what you stated. If you don't that is not my problem.
I'm just asking the question of Rom 5:6. What seems to be the problem here?
b57,
Still nothing in response to this question?:
Do you know why names written in the book of life may yet be blotted out?
Obviously, when he has no answer, or just does not understand the questions, he does not reply. By restating his mantra he assumes he might be answering it.
Good luck.

Why is review necessary for you?

You are a work. You cannot even answer (explain) a question that deals with the reason you need to rehash your previous statement.
I am left with only one option. To assume you do not understand either your own statement, and definitely not what I am asking in relation to your own statement.
If you don't understand the question, just say so. I can further explain it if you need it.
Rom 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
The antichrist followers have had a grand ole time in their corruption of this scripture, for they tell us that it means that a person is Justified before God by their act of faith or believing, but thats a lie, for those whom Christ died in behalf of and for are Justified by Christ alone, His Obedience alone declares them Justified or Righteous Rom 5:19
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
The word made here kathistēmi means:
C.to set down as, constitute, to declare, show to be
So its plain as day that His Obedience alone, the obedience of one, declares them Righteous, and then God given Faith from the New Birth acknowledges, receives the Testimony of the Truth of the fact;
So scriptural Justification by Faith is when by God given Faith, a fruit f the Spirit [Gal 5:22] we receive the Fact of having been Justified / declared Righteous by the Blood of Christ alone before we became believers and while we were yet ungodly Rom 4:5
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
The true Christians testimony is that we are Justified by Christ alone and not by our act of faith or believing, for we believe that are believing or faith is nothing but an evidence of having partook of the benefits of Christ's saving death/work !
We believe that ones faith given in New Birth is God's appointed means of revealing or making it known to us our Justification that we may begin to experience the Joy and Peace through believing Rom 15:13
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Notice the phrase "through the power of the Holy Ghost" hence who shall deny that this indicates that ones believing is the effect of the Power of the Holy Ghost ?
Justification by Faith therefore is denied when we say that it means that our act of believing is what caused us to be Justified before God instead of Christ's Blood or Obedience alone Rom 5:19 !
