The Christian Life

[God's Truth]

They are weeping and gnashing their teeth because they are suffering in hell. It is a serious thing to reject God's great free gift of salvation that has been provided by Jesus Christ.

God's salvation isn't about merely believing in God and living your life as always.

 

[God's Truth]

When the brain flatlines it stops processing information.

A person doesn't know he or she is dead, the person is not conscious.

The spirit does not die.

The scriptures are clear about that.

 

[God's Truth]

Everyone has a pre-death experience, unless they die instantly. it is during the pre-death experience that I believe they become aware of their destiny.

The scriptures do not say that for the unsaved. Your guessing about God's Truth is ignorant.

 

[God's Truth]

You're in direct opposition to the scriptures: Promoting salvation by works a person performs in order to get himself saved Eph 2:8-9.

An unregenerate person / carnal / in the flesh can't please God by anything they do.

Rom. 8:7-8
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


So the only calling upon the name of the Lord that pleases God is the evidence and proof of regeneration, that they already are Saved.

Rom. 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy [Rom. 9:23] he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost

Rom. 8:15-16
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God

Your whole man made beliefs are error.

The works that do not save are the ceremonial works of the old law.

 

[God's Truth]

No they don't!

You are fighting with your half sister.

Jesus says believe and obey.

Calvinists say, "No, I cannot, save me first".

Robert Pate says, "No, I will believe but no one can obey".

 

[God's Truth]

You try to mix Christianity with Calvinism. They don't mix. Calvinism is in opposition to the Gospel and justification by faith.

Satan has deceived you into believing that you are a Christian, you are not. Unless you repent and trust in Christ to save you, you will perish, John 3:16.

You try to mix faith alone with Calvinism.

Well of course. Who needs salvation if we can't die?

 

[Robert Pate]

If you dont believe that sinners Christ died for are saved by Him, then you are in unbelief !

I confess. I don't believe the Calvinist doctrine that Jesus only died for some people.

 

[Robert Pate]

Well of course. Who needs salvation if we can't die?

The whole man goes into the ground and the whole man comes out at the last trump, 1 Corinthians 15:52.

I confess. I don't believe the Calvinist doctrine that Jesus only died for some people.

Not some people. His own beloved people.

You don't believe in Christ period. How could you when you teach that sinners He died for are still lost!

Not some people. His own beloved people.

The Bible says that Jesus died for sinners. Nothing about his own beloved people.

My kinsman Redeemer will bring all the redeemed to glory. He will not lose a single one. The faithful rejoice at each soul brought into the fold through regeneration. All of Him. Monergism.

The Bible plainly teaches that Jesus atoned for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2, so that now, Whosoever that shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.

We agree that, Christ's atonement, is limited to those who believe.

Where we differ is how those who believe are brought to faith.

I used to believe as you do, that it is a matter of one's choice.

I no longer believe that it is man's doing/willing/choosing, but solely God's.

The whole man goes into the ground and the whole man comes out at the last trump, 1 Corinthians 15:52.

"He said, 'It is finished!' And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit." (John 19:30)

Are you saying he didn't give up his spirit?

 

[God's Truth]

Well of course. Who needs salvation if we can't die?

Don't you want to be clothed with your flesh?

How do you ever get that we shouldn't get our bodies back?

 

[God's Truth]

The whole man goes into the ground and the whole man comes out at the last trump, 1 Corinthians 15:52.

That is about the flesh.

Our spirits do not die.

Flesh bodies are corruptible. We will receive an incorruptible body. (1 Corinthians 15:53)

 

[God's Truth]

Flesh bodies are corruptible. We will receive an incorruptible body. (1 Corinthians 15:53)

That is our flesh body that will not decay.
