Just a very short observation asking fellow Christians here this question. Do you tire of the antithetical argumentation some doctrinaires make and insist upon when absolutes in the Salvation plan are posted?

Are we all with full understanding, no, as we could never exhaust the word of God. Minus the offensive arguing, which should never take place, we are here to discuss what we do believe to be sound doctrine in scripture as there are many times light can be brought to the dark areas of our understanding.

He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4

Again

Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24


Does having eternal life have to do with the plan of salvation ?

I think it does.

The mistake the antagonist model makes is the argument that attempts to segregate eternal life from eternal salvation. They are one and the same. Because dying in unrepentant sin precludes eternal salvation and life with Christ. Something antithetical argumentation doctrinaires are unaware of. Or, worse, ignore in order to retain their doctrinal platform .

One who holds unto unrepentant sin is none of God's and transgresses the laws of God.

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

Romans 3
The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Galatians 3:12The Law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The one who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Lawby becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14He redeemed us so that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.…

Ephesians1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:12, Mat 3:17, Col 1:13, Eph 1:14
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:11, Rom 8:29-30, 1Jo 3:1, Rom 8:14-17
Eph 1:12, Mat 3:17, Col 1:13, Eph 1:14
Rom 3:24, Col 1:14, Eph 3:16, 1Co 1:30
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:11, Rom 8:29-30, 1Jo 3:1, Rom 8:14-17

[Boaz308]

Why isn't what removed?
What does the RCC have to do with this?
If you mean Leviticus 21:9,
we're not allowed to remove anything from scripture or add to it.
But we could determine if it fits into the teachings of God.
If it does not, then men had something to do with it.
Do you realize how many persons the O.T. turns away from believing in Jesus because of the things it says? Perhaps it's good to know of the character of God.
Is an all-good God able to say some of the things in these early books?
Is there no conflict?
And the solution?

There is a Story in the Gospels where the people said this is a hard teaching who can accept it and many turned away and didn't follow Jesus anymore after that. Jesus did not go after them and say wait, wait, maybe I was too harsh please, I will retract my previous statement. No instead he turned to his disciples and said "do you also want to leave?". My point being is sometimes the word of God is not sugar coated to make it more palatable. This is what man often tries to do with scripture, but it loses it's Power. I can honestly say that everything about the old testament does not make a lot of sense to me on a human level. But I don't feel like I have the choice to just say, well I don't like that, so I will just explain it away. I no that is an over simplification, kind of, but kind of not also. Look, Jesus is a person and the God head. We don't need the bible or the law anymore to come to him. But I'm not going to say that the bible isn't true.

I'm not an antagonist and not arguing anything, but only giving the facts as God said it's by His grace that we are saved through faith, Ephesians 2:8, who is Christ Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:1-3, as that is a fact. Our salvation depends on our confession of faith as our inner man is Spiritually renewed, John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9, 10. Salvation is where we begin, the works we do are done unto the Lord and as long as we endure all things of the world, Matthew 24:13 we will then have eternal life with the Father when Christ returns, Matthew 25:31-40.

 

[Justicewolf]

I think those teachers who hope to persuade the redeemed in Christ are still sinners are doing a disservice to the truth.
We do not work to remain saved. That's a lie the Devil hopes to impart after he failed to lead Jesus to obey him when the Lord was in his fast. Jesus did all the work to save us when he suffered and then died on the Cross. God in flesh who suffered and died to change the rules of sin and damnation that he created in the beginning when by the first Adam sin entered into the world. And with the death of the second Adam sin was put asunder according to the covenant of grace and all that came with it.

Our works as redeemed in Christ reflect the work of the holy spirit inside us. We don't work to keep the holy spirit there. And we don't work to stay saved. If we had to work to stay saved there would be verses, and this has been done to death here by others I realize, that tell us by our own sloth, lack of works to stay saved, everything that God's grace gave us would be rescinded one by one. We'd be unredeemed. Unrenewed, unregenerated, unwashed clean so as to assume the filthy sinner dying flesh we had before. No such verses exist.

Works salvation revokes what came first. God's grace.
Those that believe that way should live it. I'll live redeemed and believing Christ over that which would have me believe their way.

I agree.

Christians are saints, not sinners.


However, we also know that saints can wander from the truth and become lost.

4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
Luke 15:4-7

• Lost = Sinner in need of repentance; dead to God
• Found = Reconciled to God; Alive to God

again


19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20

• let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death

Those who allow a brother Christian, who has wandered from the truth and become a sinner again, to continue in the path of death and not warn them, is not walking in love and does him a disservice.

• he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Love covers a multitude of sins.

Could you share some scriptures about this?


We are saved by grace through faith. We can not do enough work to earn, the right to be born again.

This happens because of God and His great love and mercy towards us.

4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7

• not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit

This is a reference to our initial salvation.

Now we are heirs, according to the hope of eternal life.

Now that we are born again, we have the hope of eternal life.

• having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Now that we have a new nature that is empowered by the Spirit, we are expected to walk according to the Spirit, and not the lustful desires of the flesh, which is sin.

We have been given dominion over sin, and have the power to put to death the sinful deeds of the flesh.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:12-16

• do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
• Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

again


12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:12-13

• if you live according to the flesh you will die;

Hi Boaz,
Your story is referring to some of my favorite scriptures.
You're referring to John 6:60
I studied John 6 a lot due to the fact that I come out of the Catholic Church and transubstantiation was a concept I had to know well and decide what exactly John was speaking about.

Anyway, you're new here and with time you'll find that I don't really like to debate except when it's about a salvation issue or to learn about something interesting that I'd like to know more of.

If you want to believe that God dictated each and every word in the O.T., that's fine.
It poses no problem if you can accept it.

When someone mentions the Law of Moses to you, what do you think of?
Did you know that there are three types of law in the O.T.?
Moral

The ceremonial and civil laws have been abolished, unless one is Jewish and wishes to keep them.

JW
JLB has covered the above very well and I won't duplicate his posts.

I would like to say this...
First "works salvation" is a new term and one which I do not like because it does not correctly express what works have to do with salvation.

It would seem to one reading along that we have to work to obtain salvation.
No one here on this thread is saying this.
Salvation is totally from God and man cannot save himself.

It's what happens after salvation that seems to be the problem in understanding.
You say we are no longer sinners.
Then why is this addressed to born again believers in scripture?
1 John 1

Perhaps you're referring to our nature.
Before we were sinners by nature
and now we are saints by nature.
But we still sin. If one reads what you are saying, it sounds like we don't sin anymore.

Are we sinners because we sin,
or do we sin because we're sinners...

Before becoming born again it would be the second.
After becoming born again it would be the first.

When I hear that we have the Holy Spirit in us doing the good works,
does this mean the Holy Spirit also makes us sin?
Do we have no free will to decide for ourselves?

It seems to me that those that speak about "works salvation" and how they're against "works" or good deeds to, yes, keep us saved, are persons that maybe cannot accept any responsibility. This is the only conclusion one could come to since we both are saying that good deeds are apparent after salvation. The difference being that I'm willing to accept responsibility for my sins.

 

[Boaz308]

Consider this. Are people using the term doing good works and not sinning synonymously. If they are, and I think that often time they are, then they justify there sin and say I dont have to not sin because I'm not saved by works. This can often times lead to an openly sinful and unrepentant lifestyle. Paul in his writings warns about this and how it leads to a total hardening of the heart. Not sinning is not the same thing as doing good works.

Well said.

We who have His life and Spirit within, can choose to be led by His righteous life or we can choose to be led by the unrighteous desires of our sinful flesh, which also desires to express itself with deeds or works of the flesh.

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8

• Paul called this obeying the Truth, vs obeying unrighteousness.

God who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Romans 2:6-8

• but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath

John said it this way -

4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. 2 John 4-6


Obeying the truth - Eternal life
Obeying unrighteousness- Wrath of God

Question, Did the judges appointed over Israel have authority to make or add Jewish law ?

 

[Boaz308]

Hi Boaz,
Your story is referring to some of my favorite scriptures.
You're referring to John 6:60
I studied John 6 a lot due to the fact that I come out of the Catholic Church and transubstantiation was a concept I had to know well and decide what exactly John was speaking about.

Anyway, you're new here and with time you'll find that I don't really like to debate except when it's about a salvation issue or to learn about something interesting that I'd like to know more of.

It poses no problem if you can accept it.

When someone mentions the Law of Moses to you, what do you think of?
Did you know that there are three types of law in the O.T.?
Moral
Civil
Ceremonial

We are not under the law. Everybody needs to understand that in the Old Testament, there was no Holy Spirit living inside the heart of man to convict him of sin. Thus the law showed the way, but was unable to ultimately deal with sin. So the sacrifice that one made was to cover there past sin, but not their future sin. This is why they were separated from the presence of God. John came preparing the way for the Lord teaching a baptism of repentance. Remember, when he saw Jesus and Said, behold the lamb of God, he who takes away the sins of the world. Now we are no longer under the law because we now have the holy spirit leading us in the ways of God. Plus all of our sins have been forgiven. But remember also Jesus said I have come to call the sinners to repentance. Also it is the Goodness of God that leads men unto repentance. The new Covenant doesn't abolish the old one, it just makes it better. Now we just Repent and have full access to the throne room of grace and the presence of God. So what is the law of God now? It is written in our hearts, not on Stone tablets. Does it mean that it doesn't matter if you sin. No, God is Holy. Can a Christian Struggle with sin? Yes, everyone does. This flesh that we live in is not redeemed, but no one ever talks about Repentance much anymore. It seems like a lot of Talk is about the law and does it still apply. I see this as a question more in line with "So, what can I get away with?"

Mathew 22:37-39

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to

knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

Jesus came to fulfill the righteousness of the law as we no longer live by the letter of the law, but now by faith in Christ to all who will believe.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Jesus was made the fulfillment of Gods righteousness of the law as He is now our righteousness through faith as we are made righteous through the blood of Christ who has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Notice in vs. 18 that not all the law has been fulfilled yet as we are still under the moral laws Jesus gave to His Church in Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians Chapters 6-10 and James Chapters 4 and 5. All the law will be fulfilled when Christ returns and we are with Him forever.
