Christ died for the sin of unbelief like He died for any other sin !

Christ died for the sin of unbelief like He died for any other sin !

1 Cor 15:3

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

1 Pet 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Unbelief is a sin according to God's word Rom 14:23

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

This apply's to the believer and unbeliever ! Unbelief in the unregenerate makes God a Liar 1 Jn 5:10

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

Even the Elect, while unregenerate, and opposing the external revelation of the Gospel, its doctrines and Truth's, we are sinning and making God a Liar, because at that time we believe not the record or testimony God gave of His Son, through a faithful witness of the Gospel of Christ, as to who He is, and what He has accomplished for God and God's Chosen People !

Ps 78:31-32

31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

Another scripture that clearly identifies unbelief as a sin !

Now, if Christ died for ones sins, it covers all their trespasses Col 2:13

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Ps 85:2

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

If Christ died for our sins, then unbelief is included and it would be unjust for God to punish anyone Christ died for because of their unbelief, and in fact He doesn't, because He cannot deny Himself His Faithfulness to the accomplishments of His Son's Death , so Paul writes 2 Tim 2:13

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

God must be Faithful and Just to forgive our sins, for Christ's sake 1 Jn 1:9

9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

This action of God's is not predicated upon our confessing our sins as it may seem to be saying, but upon the Work of Christ on our behalf !

Anyone teaching that people go to hell for unbelief, in spite of the fact that Christ died for all their sins, they teach a false gospel, and make God to be unjust !

Redeemed by His Blood, but going to Hell !

Redeemed by His Blood, but going to Hell !

Rev 5:9

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Now the antichrist followers say that Christ redeemed by His own Blood, many that shall be in hell, in other words, they should have been able to sing the New Song here, but instead they will here these words from the one that redeemed them with His Blood Matt 7:23

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This even after He redeemed them from all iniquity Titus 2:14

14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

But what utter blasphemy against the blood of Christ, for Redemption is by His Blood alone. Many in their ignorance appeal to 2 Pet 2:1 in support of their Blasphemy.

They deny that His Divine Work of Redemption effectually ransomed from hell and the penalty of sin, all for whom He died. They deny that they are freed from the penalty of the law, by Christ's propitiation and Satisfaction of the Divine Justice Rom 3:24-26; Gal 3:13; Heb 9:12.

This ransom price was paid for a definite People Rev 5:9; 14:3

Most also feel this issue of Limited Atonement is just a matter of opinion or something a man named john calvin made up, but I warn you that it's a Essential Truth of the Gospel; In fact those who teach that Christ died for all without exception, and knowing from scripture evidence that all without exception will be saved, they deny the power and Efficaciousness of Christ's saving and Redeeming Blood, for there is just no other way to put it. It also makes God the Father a failure, the Son a Failure, and the Holy Ghost a failure.

Redemption is an Act of God's Power Neh 1:10

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Power of God in Redeeming His people 1 Cor 1:24

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Hand joins in Hand !

Hand joins in Hand !

Prov 16:5

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

The one thing that all apostate religions have in common despite their many diversity, and giving of lip service to the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, to them, all would say ultimately a persons Salvation depends upon and is determined by man himself !

Another thing, although this antichrist harlot religious system is comprised of many different factions, and even disagree with one another in many things, they still all have in common their opposition to the Gospel of Sovereign Grace, in order to promote their various systems of Salvation by self righteousness, freewill and or good works ! These are the proud in heart !

Same Philosophy !

Same Philosophy !

The man of sin religion is that religious philosophy that has captivated the whole world Rev 13:8

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

of all whose names had not been written in the book of Life, Note: John calls that a world of all whose names had not been written in the book of life, that implies that a world had been written in that book of life, who did not worship the beast !

Now this religion which worships the beast, is the religion of mans freewill and or salvation by works or mans personal obedience ! This religious philosophy is inspired by satan and comes up out of the abyss Rev 9:1-4 and God has ordained that all the reprobates be deceived by it as they also shall hate the Truth 2 Thess 2:10-12

10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [freewill religion].

All of these deceived souls have one thing in common, they all conclude that Salvation is determined by man. This freewill or works orientated religious thought is very popular in the masses all over the whole world, in all stations of life. It is embraced by the rich and the poor, the young and the old Rev 13:16

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Yes, freewill and works orientated religious thought is the religion of the whole world as we speak !

To those False teachers and antichrist followers who say Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief, then unbelief would damn everyone, because all are unbelievers. You would have to rewrite scripture and instead of Paul proclaiming in His Gospel 1 Cor 15:3

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

It should read Christ died for our sins except for unbelief ! This would be adding or taking away from the Gospel !

Also, if Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief, and man is saved from sin by his act of believing, then man becomes his own saviour, for he was saved apart from the atoning blood of Christ for sin, since as they say, Christ did not shed His Blood for that sin, there is no other alternative.

You see, if Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief, and we all are unbelievers by nature, then even after we become believers, God in Justice would still have to condemn us in that Great Day for that one sin that was not covered by the Blood of Christ, Unbelief !

 

[beloved57]

How do wicked men make their ability to believe their saviour from sin. Most who believe that Christ did not die for unbelief, do believe that their ability to believe on Christ is what saved them, and so consequently it was their believing that removed the consequences of all their other sins, since Jesus said plainly this Jn 8:24

24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins [plural].

So this results in not Christ's blood cleansing from all sin, but mans act of believing causing God to cleanse from all sin. Folks all this madness is due because the antichrist believers reject Limited Atonement !

If Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief, then unbelief would send everyone to hell, hence Christ should not have died for any sins !

 

[beloved57]

A sure mark of false religion !

A sure mark of false religion !

A sure indication of a false religion, no matter how much with their lips they honor God and Christ [Isa 29:13] and their message of salvation seems to be true [ Matt 24:24; 2 Cor 11:13-15], yet without fail, they will add the works of man, something man must do [to perform (an act, duty, role, etc.)] like believe, or accept, in order to get saved; In some kind of way, Salvation must be conditioned on man ! Every false way or religion teaches this, even if they never say it , or even if they deny it, the inference is telling !

Folks anyone teaching that Salvation is conditioned in any way, shape or form upon man doing something, is Antichrist; for Christ alone saves a sinner from A to Z. Every aspect of One's Salvation, past present and future is solely conditioned on Christ's Work of the Cross plus nothing !

So you religionists who appeal to Eph 2:8 in support of your false conclusion that faith is a condition to perform by man in order to get saved, then you should consider the very next verse that reads Eph 2:9

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Not of works means conditions or performances by man, lest any man should boast !

Choose Life !

Choose Life !

Deut 30:19

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

I am sure this gets the attention of those who promote the error of man's freewill. These dreamers deny that all men by nature are dead in sin and slaves to sin, the flesh and the devil, but believe however they by their own freewill can choose to serve God, from such Scriptures they twist as Josh 24:15

15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Men in our pride and self righteousness believe because a choice is given, we have the ability to do so, that is to make a good and holy choice Jer 13:23

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

You give a meat eating lion the choice to choose between a fat juicy zebra steak to eat and a bowl of salad, which one will he choose every time ? The zebra steak f course, and thats because he is being governed by his nature, with this in mind, we can understand Jere 13:23 above !

The natural man cannot make choices that Glorify God, because he is dead to God !

The scripture in Jer speaks again about the heart of the natural man Jer 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? We by Nature cannot know how wicked our hearts really are and how deceitful until a New Birth takes Place !

Most people read this verse about the wickedness of the human heart and immediately think of people who are murderers and fornicators and thieves and drunks, which deeds are wicked, but the verse also describes the very sincerely religious, the moralist, the kind hearted toward our fellow man and etc, and thats how the heart is deceitful, because by nature we see these things not as wicked. Men see these things as good and things that recommend us to God, however when it comes to having a Right relationship with God, and these things be our Hearts Trust, they are wicked works and dead works before God. They are the dead works that the Blood of Christ purges His Elect from Heb 9:14

14How 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 is applied to all the Elect, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit 1 Pet 1:1-2

2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Sprinkling means application of the blood. The word sprinkle means:

a sprinkling (purification)

a) blood of sprinkling

1) i.e. appointed for sprinkling (serving to purify)

There is nothing an unregenerate heart can do to please God, so Paul wrote Rom 8:8

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

They cannot, so they will not ! Our repentance in the flesh cannot please God, Our Faith or believing in the flesh cannot please God, nothing can, and yet many deceived souls believe that while unregenerate, they exercised faith that pleases God Heb 11:6, and that gave them a right to everlasting life, in direct opposition to God's Word. So again Jer 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

We cannot choose Life ! It must be Given by Grace !

Boasting about Believing !

Boasting about Believing !

The Antichrist followers preach and believe today that sinful, spiritually dead, unregenerate sinners, has the ability to believe on Christ; however this is a lie, one which scripture does not teach, in fact it is said of some that they could not believe, even in light of many miracles Jn 12:39,38

39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

Thats because the Arm of the Lord had not been revealed to them vs 38

38That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Mans ability to believe on the Lord is a lie against the Truth, if this were so or true, then the natural man, the carnal man, the man of flesh can do something spiritually that pleases God Heb 11:6, but in the flesh man cannot please God Rom 8:8

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

The unregenerate man cannot or does not have the ability to please God, which believing on Christ does please God. Being in the flesh is antithesis to being born of the Spirit Jn 3:6-7

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

There is no in between, one is either born of the Spirit or not ! So consequently the flesh cannot [without ability] to obey God's Commands, which one is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ Acts 16:30-31

30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

The word believe here is in the greek an imperative which is:

The imperative mood corresponds to the English imperative, and expresses a command to the hearer to perform a certain action by the order and authority of the one commanding. Thus, Jesus' phrase, "Repent ye, and believe the gospel" (Mk.1:15) is not at all an "invitation," but an absolute command requiring full obedience on the part of all hearers.

That this command is something that pleases God cannot be denied 1 Jn 3:22-23


22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Anyone therefore teaching that man, the unregenerate man, the man not born of the Spirit can believe on Christ Savingly, a Spiritual Act, they are Liars, they lie against the Truth. That even goes for myself ! If me or anyone teaches that, they are Liars !

Boasting about Believing ! cont

Boasting about Believing ! cont

Also, scripture teaches that its not of ones own ability to believe, but that its by the exceeding greatness of God's Power, it is put forth to them that believe Eph 1:19-20

19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

The word believe here in this passage and the same word believe in Jn 3:16, are both in the greek present tense participles, meaning , they are believing, and so Eph 1:19 informs us that this believing is a effect of God's Mighty Power !

The word working is the greek word energeia and means:

working, efficiency

its with note that it is the same word Paul used to describe how Christ made Him an Apostle and Believer Eph 3:7


7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

So anyone teaching about man's ability to believe, or that the natural man has the ability to believe on Christ, they are Liars, in fact lying against the Holy Spirit of God, who alone as the Spirit of Grace causes an Person to Believe, Faith to believe is of His working, His effecting, His Fruit Gal 5:22 ; Jn 6:29 !

He is the Spirit of Grace Zech 12:10

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Heb 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Believing comes from the Spirit of Grace folks, and not mans freewill ability, those who believe otherwise have been greatly deceived !

Christ's Death was meted out in proportion for those He definitely died for, their sins !

More on this erroneous concept that Christ's Death could save more than for whom it was intended to save, for thats a lie, for God does not operate that way, but in Just Measures Prov 16:11

A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

God will mete out punishment according to a mans works ! Jer 25:14

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

Matt 16:27

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

God is of exactness, accuracy, Justice and Equity. Now if He shall Judge each of the wicked according to their works in strict justice for their sins, then He Judged Christ accordingly for each man Christ stood in the place and stead of, that is Just God's Nature to do so because He is a Just God Deut 32:4

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Christ was given a Cup to drink Matt 26:42, a cup among other things is a unit of measure or capacity !

And so thats why it is said in the day of Judgment, that He will open of the books , and everyone will be meted out punishment according to their works or violations committed against God's Law, that Christ did not die for. So likewise the Cup of Christ's suffering was meted out according to the exactness of the violations of each man of God's Elect, it was according to their sins 1 Cor 15:3

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

For the efficacy of the Saviour's Death was not in and of itself that saved them, but their appropriating act of the benefits was their Salvation !

Rom 4:25

Rom 4:25

Those who are teaching a false Gospel, deny that all for whom Christ died, that even before they believe, are Justified before God, evidenced by by His Resurrection Rom 4:25

25Who was delivered for[because of] our offences, and was raised again for[because of] our justification.

Folks, this is a very serious sin against the accomplishment of Christ's Death on behalf of those He died for [1 Cor 15:3] before God the Father !

 

[beloved57]

Those who are teaching that Christ death was for all men without exception, and many of them shall and have died in their sins, eternally separated from God, these are preaching a defective Cross of Christ. They are saying in essence, the Christ work failed to redeem from death those He died for, and that the Cross of Christ failed to reconcile them completely back to God ! This is a extremely serious claim against Christ's Work ! These false teachers say that Christ made only a one sided reconciliation [if that] that God was reconciled to man, but it left man unreconciled to God, unless man does something, but this is a grievous error, and not biblical at all. The Reconciliation that Christ effects by His Cross is in fact complete and full, nothing lacking. For reconciliation entails bringing together in harmony of Two separated parties. Its defined:

To become friendly with (someone) after estrangement or to re-establish friendly relations between (two or more people)

To make (two apparently conflicting things) compatible or consistent with each other

So therefore, if Christ's Cross Work did not both reconcile God to Men and Men to God in Fellowship, His Cross Work failed. Scripture teaches through Paul when writing to believers that Christ reconciled US to God by His Cross 2 Cor 5:18

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us [The Church] to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Col 1:21

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

This scripture clearly ascribes conversion work to the Cross of Christ. Christ, by way of His Spirit, premised on His Cross Work, reconciles those who were enemies by nature, alienated from God experimentally, enemies in their minds, yet now has He reconciled. That is Faith and Repentance , those fruits that evidence one returning to God, are fruits of Christ's Death bringing back[reconciling] one into a right relationship and fellowship with God ! Nothing Illustrates this Blessed Truth more than the point made by the Lost Son that came to himself and returned to his Father Lk 15:17-32, yet the Father had been reconciled to the Son all the Time !

So, if every single sinner that Christ died for does not end up like the Lost Son, then Christ's Work on the Cross of reconciling those He died for back to God, has failed ! And many false teachers teach that, because of those who die in their sins, who simply were not objects of Christ's Love and Death !

Neonomianism !

Neonomianism !

Most in the religious world believe a false gospel, a very deceptive false gospel which is a derived from what is called Neonomianism !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonomianism

What basically is meant is the the Gospel is but a much milder law that men must adhere to in order of being saved or Justified before God; this is just as evil as teaching to be Justified by the Law Rom 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin !

The word deeds here is the same word ergon for work or works, and the word law nomos means:

anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a command

a) of any law whatsoever

1) a law or rule producing a state approved of God

a) by the observance of which is approved of God

2) a precept or injunction

3) the rule of action prescribed by reason

Now how many really and sincerely believe that if they obey the command to believe on Jesus Christ that it produces them into a state of approval of God ? 99.99 % of professing Christianity believes this or that if they repent it brings them into this state of approval before God. In other words God now Judges them favorably because of what they did !

And the scripture says, by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified before God. Flesh here merely means anyone born of the flesh as Jesus indicates here Jn 3:6

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Flesh is anyone who has not been born again of the Spirit. And so these neonomians, most deny New Birth before Faith, they are therefore advocating Justification before God by the deeds of the flesh ! To be honest with you, all who believe this are deceived and reject Salvation by Grace through Faith, not of works, lest any man should boast !

By the deeds of the Law, No man Justified !

Rom 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

This proud man cannot accept, cannot believe ! What is Paul saying here ? This is not just the jewish law of moses, the Decalogue, the Ten Commandments, it includes all preceptives and conditions and proposals,or offers made to men ! Making terms , that men must do this or that in order of the obtaining of everlasting Life all fall under, doing the deeds of the law to obtain salvation, and all who preach this, which are millions, are servants of the devil !

Folks man in a fallen condition are incapable of fulfilling any commands of God, and Laws of God, obeying any precepts of God per Rom 8:7-8

7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

And yet the antichrist ministers present a Gospel format that that gives men the impression they can obey a command of God and obtain Life Everlasting ! But alas, how many are there in religion today believe that while in the flesh, an unregenerate, that they pleased God by their act of Faith Heb 11:6

6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

These rebels believe and oppose the very Truth of Rom 8:8 and assert with all the venom of the devil, that they performed this pleasing act of Faith while in the flesh or unregenerate ! Nor being born again, folks nothing but a child of hell will make such claims ! Matt 23:15

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

They are asserting against all Light of scripture, that they are being justified by the deeds of the law in God's sight !

Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Free will is a lie straight from the pits of hell! For it would be to assume that a man could choose something "outside" of GOD'S BEING and WHAT GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY HAS ALREADY PROPOSED THAT WHICH "IS NOW",AND WHAT "SHALL BE"!

[Christian_Nerd]

What if it is the Will of God that man have a Free Will.
God offers salvation and we are to accept or deny His offer.
We are not saving ourselves, for God is still the One saving us.
How is God given glory if He makes us turn to Him?
That would be like God programming a robot.
But if we choose to accept Him and follow Him then God is given Glory.
