What is regeneration?

Of course you do not, for you would not, for then, it would prove your work gospel is just that~a salvation from sin and condemnation based on the works of a law~a commandment to do and live, sin and die!

Declared righteous by God? Hear the word of God:

God declares HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS for the remission of our sins, not our~he has freely justified those men/women who have faith in Jesus' obedience/faith as being their surety before God. Our mother is free, making us freeborn sons of God according to his oath and promises of grace, your mother (a gospel base on the works of the flesh) is the bond woman and all of her children are in bondage with her.
Hello

Even your own words say it

It is faith in jesus which is the condition of our justification

Romans 3:24–26 (KJV 1900) — 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

personal faith precedes justification
 
As a man, I'm commanded to love my neighbour as myself, yet I'm not commanded to love openly enemies of God~I despised them and do not want to have anything to do with them. I'll deal with this later.

Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

I believe the Scriptures. You're an enemy of God yourself.
 
Using sir as a weapon? Now that's a first. I was raised in the south back in the late forties and early fifties and was taught to say sir, etc. Actually, we were taught to respect and show honor to all men, and if we did not, we would regret doing so.

You're a blowhard. Sir means nothing to you. "Sir" has value. You don't value those that oppose you. You're using "sir" as a weapon.

You were raised in a generation that taught you that you could do no wrong. A generation that believed God had empowered America to conquer the world. That same generation that no steals and cheats its citizens out of their liberties.

Do you really think you're the only silly fundamentalist blowhard that I've ever meet in my life? I've battled your sinful kind for decades. That is why I've asked you to disclose your mentors. There are two or three groups of fundamentalists that still exist though they are largely disappearing. I'm sure you feel you're the "anchor" of this self destructive cause. I know your kind well. I suppose you're retired now from your "former glory"?

I bet you expect God to give you a parade through the "streets of heaven" when you leave this world. A standing ovation for your faithfulness to the "cause".

Jesus spoke of your mentors of old.....

Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

We teach our grandchildren to honor the hoary head and to stand up in their presence, these precious bible etiquettes are no longer taught which is sad and we see the results of of folks thinking their way is better than God's~a generation of rebels and a generation that truly believe it is about me, not you!

Just how in the world do you know if the people you're talking to have the "white hair"?

You're senseless flatter seeking advantage while "stabbing" those that oppose you in the back when they're not looking. Most all of you are just alike. You only care about yourself and those who "congregate with you" to pay their "tithe" to YOU in the "name of God".

Maybe you know me. I might have dealt with some your pedophile "charter" members before?

Just another blowhard living in Glasshouses hating all those that oppose them.
 
Matthew 27:50
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.


Amplified Bible
And Jesus cried out again with a loud [agonized] voice, and gave up His spirit [voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father’s plan]. he died on his timeline not mans

I understand the teaching, and truly there are "many" who promote it. But I posted volumes of Scriptures which contradict your adopted religious philosophy here. Including "many" which came from the Mouth of Jesus Himself, as HE told others HE would be killed. And the implication that Jesus committed Suicide, the Scriptures also do not support that implication. It wasn't Jesus' death that saved me, it was His Life. Had HE lived for 500 years, it would still be His Life that saved me. It was HIS Life that gave His death value.

God knew when they would murder Jesus from the foundation of the world, because HE sees the end from the beginning. Jesus offered Himself to God, knowing HE would be murdered. I'm not going to take that away from Him by implying that HE took the easy way out.
 
Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

I believe the Scriptures. You're an enemy of God yourself.
If you have read carefully, I clearly said we are to love OUR enemies, so, your quoted scriptures do not apply to me.

Who made you a judge, judging other men's hearts that you have never met?

I can judge your words. I've heard them many many times before.
Are you incapable of know what you wrote?
You said you are not commanded to love your enemies.

You said...

openly enemies of God~I despised them and do not want to have anything to do with them

Did you forget what you wrote?

Really? The Atonement is in the Resurrection alone?

Jesus wasn't murdered. Those who hated Him committed murder in their hearts.... Think.... Adultery in the heart....

This isn't compilated and you are the one following tradition. All of the words of God are true. Just not the ones you prefer.
 
You're a blowhard. Sir means nothing to you. "Sir" has value. You don't value those that oppose you. You're using "sir" as a weapon.
There you go again judging other men's hearts. I'm sure this is against the rules of this forum.
You were raised in a generation that taught you that you could do no wrong. A generation that believed God had empowered America to conquer the world. That same generation that no steals and cheats its citizens out of their liberties.
Sir, you have no clue what you are talking about. Even if I was raised in such a generation, that has no bearing on me and others. Look at the generation in which Christ and his apostles and other godly saints mentioned in the scriptures living at the time of Christ, were raised in, yet what did that have to do with them personally? What's your problem? For you certainly have a serious spiritual problem.
Do you really think you're the only silly fundamentalist blowhard that I've ever meet in my life? I've battled your sinful kind for decades. That is why I've asked you to disclose your mentors.

I suppose you're retired now from your "former glory"?

Again, all you are doing is attacking a person, not their teachings. For your information, I'm not a fundamentalist~even though I would never judge their persons, especially so if I have never met them personally or heard them via radio, or, TV, etc.

Your spirit on display is antichrist~I'll leave it there.
I bet you expect God to give you a parade through the "streets of heaven" when you leave this world. A standing ovation for your faithfulness to the "cause".

Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
All I do is labor to not be ashamed at the Lord's coming~before God, I consider myself the least of all of his children, and do not consider myself worthy of any of God's mercy that he has showed to me . God knows my heart, you certainly do not.
Just how in the world do you know if the people you're talking to have the "white hair"?
I do not and never said I did, I only stated that we teach our grandchildren to honour the hoary head. DO you have have problem doing what you do not practice? Obviously you do.
You're senseless flatter seeking advantage while "stabbing" those that oppose you in the back when they're not looking. Most all of you are just alike.
Do you have any thing profitable to say? If not, do not post to me~you are judging a man you have no clue as to who he is and the life he lives. You should be rebuke by the owner of this forum.
You only care about yourself and those who "congregate with you" to pay their "tithe" to YOU in the "name of God".
We left organize religion years ago, never to return, never!
Maybe you know me. I might have dealt with some your pedophile "charter" members before?
I do not know you and truly seeing your character on display, do not care to know you. You attack is totally uncalled for, especially so from man professing Jesus Christ~but, what do that mean, any more, not very much. I'll refuse to stoop to your level ~ I'll do what Jesus said...let them along!
Just another blowhard living in Glasshouses hating all those that oppose them.
I hate no one, except God's open confess enemies. All others, I will show them the kindness of God, if opportunity presents itself.
 
I can judge your words. I've heard them many many times before.

There you go again judging other men's hearts. I'm sure this is against the rules of this forum.

I can see your actions. I don't need to look at your heart. I never said a single thing about your heart. If the Scriptures hit you in the heart, do as you please.

Sir, you have no clue what you are talking about. Even if I was raised in such a generation, that has no bearing on me and others. Look at the generation in which Christ and his apostles and other godly saints mentioned in the scriptures living at the time of Christ, were raised in, yet what did that have to do with them personally? What's your problem? For you certainly have a serious spiritual problem.

Again. Stop the Sir. You asked me to drop the KJV. Stop the nonsense of "Sir" to me. It is nothing but fake nonsense. You don't care one single thing about me. Move on from this.

Again, all you are doing is attacking a person, not their teachings. For your information, I'm not a fundamentalist~even though I would never judge their persons, especially so if I have never met them personally or heard them via radio, or, TV, etc.

So I'm supposed to accept the words of someone on the internet just because they ask me to? When you words match your claims, then I will. Prove it.

Besides, you've attacked me multiple times. You're being hypocritical. You can't avoid attacking someone personally when you attack their beliefs. That is a lie of Satan. You know how many times in my life I've been told "nothing personal".....

It is ALL PERSONAL.

Your spirit on display is antichrist~I'll leave it there.

Oh how kind of you. Nothing personal... right? Geesh. How many years have you believed such self serving and destructive nonsense....

Nothing personal. After all.... YOU KNOW ME.... right? Geesh.
 
All I do is labor to not be ashamed at the Lord's coming~before God, I consider myself the least of all of his children, and do not consider myself worthy of any of God's mercy that he has showed to me . God knows my heart, you certainly do not.

Yeah. Right. You're the least........ while preaching a damnable doctrine that prevents others from entering the Kingdom of God. You don't believe this at all. It is meaningless words that only give YOU comfort.

I do not and never said I did, I only stated that we teach our grandchildren to honour the hoary head. DO you have have problem doing what you do not practice? Obviously you do.

I have no hair. I lost it a long time ago. I respect everyone regardless of their race, creed, beliefs and whatever. I treat everyone the same. (Or at least try). However, I don't "pull punches" when it comes to dealing with false doctrine and lies.

You believe everyone God cares about will be saved. I don't. ( you have nothing more than a self promoting damnable doctrine). I believe the vast majority of mankind will find destruction.

I believe you are preventing others from being saved. How do you think I should feel about such a thing? Should I promote you and praise your "holy name"?

Do you have any thing profitable to say? If not, do not post to me~you are judging a man you have no clue as to who he is and the life he lives. You should be rebuke by the owner of this forum.

Oh... but you know me right? Right? What kind of nonsense is this. You claim for yourself what you will not afford another. How wonderful are you...... I've never once advocated or asked anyone here be rebuked for what they believe. I'M rebuking you. I take responsibility for it and I'll answer to God for it. I don't ask others to do for me what I can do for myself.

We left organize religion years ago, never to return, never!

Who are you kidding.... You TOOK IT WITH YOU. That is what most everyone does. It is why there are countless denominations and factions all claiming to be the proper "Christian". You haven't made significant change. All you did was become your own boss. I will acknowledge this is a good step for you. Now take the next steps. Abandon your pride in this nonsense you preach.

I do not know you and truly seeing your character on display, do not care to know you. You attack is totally uncalled for, especially so from man professing Jesus Christ~but, what do that mean, any more, not very much. I'll refuse to stoop to your level ~ I'll do what Jesus said...let them along!

Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah.....

Do you judge others by yourself? It would certainly seem that you do. You have an high opinion of yourself.

I hate no one, except God's open confess enemies. All others, I will show them the kindness of God, if opportunity presents itself.

You've never been an "open enemy" yourself? Right? I suppose you've always been a perfect Christian???

Can you stop for one minute and look at how you have a standard for yourself that you will not allow others to have?

So much for "I once was lost in sin....."

Your theology supports condemning your fellowman while ignoring the fact you're just like the one's your condemning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
God saves His enemies.
Some, not all! It is totally based upon God's will, not man's.

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, while most did not! (Genesis 6:8)God always reserves some, in the worst of times, for himself; there is a remnant, according to the election of grace; just as he did in the days of ELijah. It is never a large number, but generally a remnant among the mass of humanity~ all this was owing to the grace of God, and his choice upon that, and not to the merits of the creature, since man is not only an enemy, but much worse, he's at enmity against God, until God's grace apprehends the elect sinner just as God did to Paul on the road to Damascus.

Philippians 3:12​


“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.”
God saves His enemies.
Not all of them~How about Pharaoh and all his host? Maybe I need to refresh your mind with the word of God.

Exodus 14:14-30~"The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore."
God does not love all men, only those given to Jesus Christ to redeem, given to him before the foundation of the world.

If you do not like that, and I'm sure you do not, then take it up with the LORD, and tell him that he's not fair~ and also while you at it, tell him you do not approve of him destroying the old world everything that hath breath form suckings/infants to every thing that had ~ and only saving Noah and his family. Tell him also, that it was not fair for him to take off the wheels of the Egyptians' chariot's, which even put more fear into their hearts of having a chance of escaping! Do you think this was love in action of what he did to the Egyptians? God chose Israel above all people of the earth and justly left the rest to their own depraved hearts!

Enough, said, just enough to allow men like you to mock on. Of. you could take the same scriptures I just used to show me where I'm wrong in using them to prove God doesn't love all men, some are the object of his wrath, as he viewed them in Adam and left them there. He was not under obligation to show anyone mercy, he chose to do so, base solely of his own will and purpose which he has not reveal unto any, and neither does he have to!
 
Because He loved them. Ephesians 2 where we were by nature children of wrath just like the rest.
Yes we all were only by nature only, yet the elect were never the object of his wrath, but of this love.
The elect have never from eternity been view outside of Christ's body, who is the head of the elect body, those loved by God from all eternity to all eternity.

Yes by nature only were the elect children of wrath, but in no other sense were they, since they have been loved from eternity.
 
Yes we all were only by nature only, yet the elect were never the object of his wrath, but of this love.

The elect have never from eternity been view outside of Christ's body, who is the head of the elect body, those loved by God from all eternity to all eternity.
Nonsense

Ephesians 2:11–12 (KJV 1900) — 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
