Yes, that is your adopted religion. That is your adopted religious philosophy. You are tirelessly laboring to convince as many as possible;
That Paul lied when he said God "will render to every man according to his deeds:
That Jesus lied when HE said; "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man "according as his work" shall be.
That Peter lied when he said, Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's "work", pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
That David lied when he said; "Also unto thee, O Lord, "belongeth mercy": for thou renderest to every man according "to his work".
That Solomon lied when he said; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according "to his works"?
That your adopted religions teachers have convinced you that their interpretation of Romans 9:18, makes false every other word that Jesus, Paul, David spoke, in fact makes void the entire Bible.
1 Cor. 3: 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive "his own reward" according "to his own labour".
But for over a decade now, you have gone out of your way, along with "Many" others who call Jesus Lord, Lord, to convince as many people as you all possibly can, that all these Holy, God inspired Words are a lie, a deception.
And that "YOU" and the religion "YOU" have adopted, supersedes the Holy Scriptures.
But What if the Bible is right Red, and it is you who have been taken captive by the prince of this world, as prophesied, to promote it's philosophy, not God's Truth? Like those "Many" in Matthew 7 Jesus spoke about, that called Jesus Lord, Lord, prophesied in His Name, and cast out demons in His Name. Why did Jesus Himself say HE didn't know them? Was it because their name wasn't pulled out of a hat in a drawing at the foundation of the world as you promote?
Now there is a question I, and many others would love to hear you answer.
In the holy Scripture, God's Mercy is reserved for those who believe Him.
Ez. 18: 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, (Well there goes Your whole preaching, that you bear the iniquity of Adam) neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness "that he hath done" he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not "that he should return from his ways", and live?
It's not about "earning" anything Red, it's about listening to God, and believing Him. Even when voices like yours work tirelessly to convince men not to Trust in this God. That is the world God has placed mankind in since the Garden of Eden.
I simply want others to consider what is actually written in the Word of God, and encourage them to believe what is written, as the Jesus "of the Bible" instructed. It's simple, it's the simplicity of Christ.
Again, you must cherry pick scriptures to justify yourself. But what does Paul actually say to Titus when more of his Inspired Words are considered?
Titus 3: 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after "that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared",
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
The Kindness and Love of God our Savior toward man, appeared to "Every Creature under heaven". Not because works of righteousness they have done. All men, accept ONE, were foolish, deceived serving the lusts of their evil flesh, worshipping how they want, eating what they want, observing what they want. Having been deceived by the religions of this world that
But for those who believed, "Yielded themselves, Denied themselves, Humbled themselves, offering themselves in obedience to God, as Moses, the Prophets, Jesus, Peter and Paul, in fact the entire Bible teaches, these men were washed. As it is written, I have shown you, but you reject outright.
Is. 1: 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, "they shall be as white as snow"; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Red, there is no justification in the Scriptures for the religion you have adopted. Your adopted teachers are the liars, not God, David, Moses, Isaiah, Jesus, Paul and Peter.
You just keep moving to goalpost, changing your own sermons, and why? Can you not see it is for the purpose of preserving, protecting and defending your most valuable and precious possession, that is the only thing you actually own, and that is your selfish, stubborn Pride? The "heart" is a muscle that can be replaced with another heart. For the person received the heart transplant, does he also receive the thoughts, traditions, habits, beliefs of the dead person who donated the heart?
Of course not Red. "Heart", means mind, where the temple of God resides. Where thoughts come and go.
2 Cor. 10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh (literal heart muscle)
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
5 Casting down imaginations, (Thoughts) and every high thing (Thoughts) that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and "bringing into captivity" every thought "to the obedience of Christ";
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when "your obedience is fulfilled". (Not Christ's obedience)
You "Choose" the thoughts you allow to rule into your kingdom, that guide you concerning "What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed".
You have opted to reject the Righteousness of God that Jesus said to SEEK. Choosing instead to listen to the "other voice" in the garden God placed you in. You are no spring turkey, you are alive today and therefore still have a chance, because "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance".
He comes like a thief in the night Red. There is no repentance in death. Consider what the Scriptures actually say and turn away from them that "say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you."
God knows it, that why HE gave us Laws.
The problem is that you cherry picked on sentence in the entire 48 chapters of Ezekiel, separated it from the rest of the Bible, and then twisted it to make the rest of the Bible a lie.
Thou shall not steal, is a Spiritual Commandment, not a carnal commandment. God is Spiritual, not carnal. His Laws are Spiritual, your adopted religious traditions are carnal. If you don't steal from me, but you lust after my wife, you are carnal.
Paul tells you what your problem is, you just don't believe Him.
Rom. 1:21 Because that, "when they knew God", they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, ( A God whose words can not be trusted) and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Time for me to shake the dust Red.
