Dan denies that repentance is a work.
Now Dan is accusing me of lying because I taught that Pedofiles can be saved in his gospel.
That is not only a straw man argument. That is slander! You are a dishonest person. I have already said that we must first repent (change our mind) before we can believe the gospel and become saved. For someone to say that they truly believe the gospel but never repented is an oxymoron just as saying one has truly repented but they don't believe the gospel is also an oxymoron. Repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ are two sides to the same coin. (Acts 20:21) Inseparable. What you call obedience is actually salvation by works which is not true Biblical repentance
Dan, any sin that one stops committing is a work of repentance.
You deny any works required in your gospel to be saved.
It logically follows that a Pedofile does not need to do any works to be saved, therefore pedophiles can continue in their sin if they only believe.
They will, be saved in your religion because no works are required.
Dan do you not understand that stopping, turning away from sin is Biblical repentance?
Do you not understand that repentance is a work?
Others on here do.
Repentance... as a command takes work.
You understand? If you dont do the work then you have not repented.
I'm tired of listening to your repeated ignorance about Biblical repentance.
You desperately try to get works our of repentance to prove a false gospel to be true.
You cannot prove what is false to be true.
Biblical Repentance: A Work of Faith in Christ
Dan repeatedly teaches the same errors.
His no commandment keeping to be saved gospel forces him into teaching fallacious fables to justify salvation by not working the commandments of God.
Dan if I could teach you anything THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO LEARN !!!!
Please open your mind, and listen to what you
must learn.
Failure to accept what I'm about to teach you will keep you repeating the same theological error.
If you fail to learn this, you will continue to stay spiritually blind.
Repentance is a work. Accept what Jesus and His apostles teach, Acts 2:42.
To understand repentance is a work one must learn that what a person
does is their works.
In Scripture a work is simply something done, an action or deed, especially one that is done in
obedience to Gods commands.
Dan, Until you learn this fact. You will never understand why you constantly contradict yourself.
1.)
Listen to Paul,
Romans 2:6,
- God will repay each person according to what they have
done
The word
done in this verse is literally
works in the greek!!!!
Dont deny this Dan, otherwise you are deny the word!!!
Look up the Greek in Romans 2:6 if you dont believe me.
Follow the logic.
Keeping commandments =
doing.
According to Paul doing is works.
Keeping/doing the commandments God gives us is literally
an act of obedience.
Dan, you already admitted repentance is an
act.
if you claim again repentance is not a work you will continue to contradict yourself.
2. )
Heres the connection:
Deuteronomy 30:14,
- but the word is very near you...
so that you may DO it
The command given to do as God instructs in His word.
Nehemiah 9:14,
- You made known to them Your holy Sabbath and gave them
commandments by which they were to live
God gives commandments in His word. We must
do/work the commandments in His word.
3.)
Jesus calls commandment keeping works.
John 6:28-29,
- They said to Jesus, what
must we do that we might work the works of God
- Jesus answered them, this is the
work of God that you
believe(action) in Him
Even believing is called a work by Jesus.
Belief is a new testament commandment. Therefore it must be something we
do in obedience.
1John 3:23-24,
- and this is Gods
commandment that we should believe(action) on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another
Both believing in Jesus and loving everyone is commanded in Jesus' new testament gospel.
Love is what we do. Our work of love. Our work of belief.
4.)
Paul ties Works to Law- keeping.
Paul repeatedly refers to keeping the Law(keeping commandments) as works of the law.
Galatians 2:16,
- by the
works of the law(old testament law) shall no flesh be justified.
The old law as well as the new law contains commandments.
Keeping them is doing them. Doing Gods commandments = works!!!
5.)
Examples: Commandments are called Works.
Paul says love fulfills the law. Then quotes commandments.
Romans 13:8-10,
- you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder...and whatever other
command there may be...love is the fulfillment of the law
Keeping these commandments(old testament) requires effort, action which are works.
6.)
Jesus and the rich young ruler.
Matthew 19:16-18,
- what good thing shall I
do that I may have
eternal life
- Jesus said, If you want to enter life keep the commandments
Dont deny this Dan!!! Jesus does teach you must do works to have eternal life.
Your religion would NEVER teach what Jesus teaches.
Dont try to explain this away.
7.)
James 2:17-24 - Works and Obedience
James uses Rahab and Abraham as examples of people justified by
works.
Which were there
obedience to what God commanded.
- Was not Abraham our father justified by
works when he offered Isaac his son...
- faith without
works is dead
Obeying Gods
commands like sacrificing Isaac or helping the spies are called
works
Final Proof:
Commandments are works because,
They require action and obedience.
Scripture refers to obedience as
doing or
working.
Paul, Jesus, James all tie
commandment keeping with works.
Therefore anyone keeping Gods commandments is doing works even if those works are not meritorious or sufficient to earn salvation.
You want to continue to deny that repentance is NOT a work Dan?
You want to continue to deny that one
must work Gods commandments to be saved eternally?
Why are you going against the true gospel of Jesus Christ?
Acts 17:30-31,
- and the times of this ignorance God overlooked but,
now COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERYWHERE TO REPENT
- because He hath appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained unto all men in that He hath raised Him from the dead
How will you be judged Dan for denying one must do, obey, work repentance as God commanded to recieve salvation, eternal life?
You teach a man made, young , false gospel out of the protestant movement.
Jesus told Paul he
must do things in His new testament gospel to wash away his sins.
Jesus never taught no works in His gospel to be saved.
Which logically is a salvation by belief alone and no obedience to the gospel.
