@synergy
So now you're God's spokesman, telling us what God will do or not do. What happened to the Bible?
Every person teaching/preaching are in essence practicing this very thing, including you.
You still can't produce even one verse that explicitly demonstrates that regeneration precedes belief in Christ.
It's
not that one cannot, the fault lies with men like you, who are so in loved with their
golden calf of a work gospel, refuses to to hear the convincing arguments presented. Christ had the same problem with your father's as evidence by reading through the gospel, they cast the same in his teeth as you are doing, almost verbatim, and as you constantly do, it is your MO that you have in your DNA from your father's, the Pharisees.
If you truly understood John 3:1-8, along with an host of others scriptures, then you would
not have any problem understanding that regeneration by the Spirit of the Living God "
must" precede any spiritual acts pleasing to God, and
even more than that, if you understood the reason
why it was imperative for Christ to come into this world to be a surety for God's elect, then you would never fight against
the only gospel that is of God, declaring the righteousness of God and
how men are partakers of this righteousness by pure grace alone ~ it is hidden from your eyes, and rightly so
. You and many others are going forth to establish your own righteousness, as though you have some, making void the
only righteousness that God accepts before His law can pronounce
"not guilty", you are
freely justified by the faith, obedience, and righteousness of Jesus Christ, who
hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. Folks like you are guilty of:
Romans 10:3
“....... ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
The Bible does that. I'm just the messenger.
That's called wishful thinking! And you certainly are not God messenger fighting against the doctrine of free grace. You have a gospel that proudly boast of being of works, and not of grace, and adding to that,
gave your self a name to prove it, how much more should a person do to show others his true colors?
So, you say the bible bashes those that teaches the doctrines of free grace through Christ's faith and perfect obedience alone? For in essence that's the message of those men, whom folks call Calvinist, even though it is biblical, and way before John Calvin and any other uninspired man.
Matthew 11:25
“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou
hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and
hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father:
for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and
no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and
he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”
Would you called the Son of God a Calvinist by him preaching these words and many such words that flow from his mouth?
Of course you would bash him just as your fathers did, you would do the same.
You don't understand or refuse to understand that God's preordained good works,
But I do! One must
first be a child of God
by election of grace, and
THEN God ordained that we go forth and maintain good works which are produce
by the new man within us that God created after the image of his Son ~ in the old Adam there is
no good thing within him that is capable of doing spiritual works pleasing to God ~ as you and other wickedly and vainly teach
Romans 7:18
“For I know that in me (
that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not.”
You're corrupting young minds, I see.
Mr.
@synergy just making sure I get the truth to them before you wolves enter into the pictures so when you do come and you will in grey numbers and even greater as this world comes to its end, they will flee from you.
Btw, actually young minds are already corrupted by the fall of man, they come into this world with an nature that's at enmity against God and we spend our days fighting with that evil nature and it is no easy task teaching them the truth, but, it is the means God has ordained to cause them to come unto the knowledge of the truth by his grace alone, so, it is our duty before God, to teach them consistent godly living and by teaching them the word of God.
Just went though Romans 3 with them (four of 18) the last two nights, and you can be sure that I did not teach them your golden calf doctrine, I trust I grinded that calf to powder before their eyes, but probably not as much as I desire, since folks come forth from the womb, thinking that they are not that bad, and that they have some good in them whereby God is not that displeased with them. Teaching God's truth is a warfare even within our own family.
The Apostles called themselves Synergists in the Greek. Why do you continue to bad mouth them?
You love to dream, but as with all dreams you must wake up and face the truth, but you may never wake up from dreaming. You are guilty concerning what Paul said of the churches of Galatia:
Galatians 5:4
“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are
fallen from grace.”
Meaning, from
the doctrine of the true grace of God.
1st Peter 5:12
“By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and
testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.”
