I hope it's not to stay saved. Because then you would be condemned by your words and every good work you failed to do would condemn you. But we are justified by faith. So when we do what's in our heart, we receive divine approval, and by trial, we show we are approved by God. "Now faith is the... -

A work is a deed. An act. So there are good deeds and evil deeds. Faith is the opposite of doubt. So it's not a work. Matthew 14:31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?” -

Regarding Paul, I think we can trust him. Yet even in his life time Paul saw disagreement and quarrelling. But I was referring those who came after Paul. Constantine and his vision. Do you believe Constantine? I don't. Then there were the various Councils and disagreement. Then one side was... -

What makes you think the ECF held a superior theology? See, you don't have a standard. -

Abraham did as the LORD commanded him. So I would consider it a work. -

By holding on to the truth of Jesus Christ. And by faith because faith is reckoned as righteousness. Romans 4:5 And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. -

First you have to be free of one master (sin) before you can serve another master (righteousness). God accomplished this by sacrificing his Son and uniting us in his death. Romans 6:5 Thanks be to God! -

He didn't have to force Cain to kill Abel. Cain was of his father the devil. 1 John 3:12 and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. Cain did his father's will. Which means he was... -

See, the heart has to be receptive to the word. It's not a matter of choosing to understand and believe. It's a matter of the spirit in a man. It's the spirit in a man that makes him understand. Job 32:8 But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand. RSV I... -

By 'us' he means those who have been called. He is not wishing any of his sheep should perish. -

I believe he declares the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ I believe he makes men for their purpose. Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made... -

Joshua gave them a choice if they were unwilling to serve the LORD. In effect he is saying weigh the evidence. What does this have to do with freewill? We don't live by making good choices. We live by faith in the word of God. Abraham wasn't rewarded for making a good choice. He was rewarded... -

Could they have chosen the other way? I don't think so. No. This is more of a philosophical question. The LORD told Moses what the people would do after Moses died; they would play the harlot after strange gods. They would forsake him and break his covenant which he made with them. Deu. 31:16... -

Yes he did. How else are you going to say it when this is the way ordinary men think. Yes in your mind you have a choice. So Joshua spoke to them as ordinary men; as men with no understanding. But why would you want to use them as an example for us? Are we ordinary men? Do we not possess the... -

Romans 6:3 says, 'We were baptized into his death', and Romans 6:7 says, 'For he who has died is freed from sin' and Romans 6:11 says, "So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." So they were freed from sin by the death of our Lord. That's how they were... -

It doesn't say anything about choosing or deciding to obey. Plus he is talking about sin and obeying sin and being set free from sin Then he talks about becoming obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which they were committed. ie. to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. And... -

Where does it say that? The saying is you're a slave to the one you obey. Not decide to obey. Not choose to obey. You who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed. Romans 6:17 Not everything happens in the mind you...
