Pure eisegesis.....

The real EG always shows up when his "grace'" runs out and he lets the flesh take control.....his excuse is everyone else made him do it, because they started it first...his narcissism is only outdone by his lack of self control and his pious hypocrisy....

Every time you sin, God has lost a battle, or YOU have lost a battle? Please clarify.

Please note: I have read the Book, and know Who has won :)

God doesn't lose battles. :) He ALWAYS wins. If we sin, that's our own fault, not His. Also, God owns our souls. He's not in the business of selling them, loaning them, or anything like that..

How is it our fault sweetie if YOU claim that Jesus is doing everything for us through us?

Please explain this.

IF HE is doing EVERYTHING and we do NOTHING, then JESUS is fully responsible for EVERYTHING, INCL our sinning.

Maybe Dcon,, could explain this to you?
Since you take no instruction from a flirt like me.

How did Jesus' Death help the unsaved?
Click to expand...

The death of the Son of man's flesh shows spirit life was given in jeapordy of another.The unseen eternal work.God who is Spirit cannot die.

While the spirit life of the flesh is in the blood, literal blood is not spirit .Blood like living water represents the unseen Holy Spirit ,Christ . Christ said his flesh profits for nothing. Spiritual words coming from a eternal spirit give spirit life.

HUH?

Could you say that using different words.
I do believe I've never heard that before.
This does not mean it doesn't exist.

I just don't understand it...

P.S. The question was this:

How does Jesus' Death benefit unsaved persons?

Gotta love that Dcon.
He even makes up his very own expressions.
God must be so proud of him.

Where is he anyway?
Somebody go get him...

If you could only quote someone correctly.....ALL I have ever done is quote JESUS and what he has to say about the number that comes before his throne having placed their emphasis upon WORKS as their means of entry into the kingdom....GALATIANS is clear...ALL WHO BLEND FAITH AND WORKS to get, keep, or maintain salvation are FOOLISH AND BEWITCHED....both BIBLICAL IN SCOPE...why does that offend you?

Stop adding to my words. I DIDN'T say that it was anyone's fault.. I've never said that we don't have to do anything.. We do.. but NOT FOR KEEPING SALVATION....

We love because He first loved us :) God draws us with love.

That sure helped me before I surrendered my will and my life to Him :)

None of our works will save us. None of our works will KEEP us saved. None of our works will gain us access to heaven.

WHY do we do good works? For the purpose of fulfilling the command to love one another, and to show God's love to others through us. :)

THAT is why we do good works..

By believing we are grafted in to the root becoming branches that bear fruit. Is the branch grafting itself in and bearing its own fruit or is all credit to He that grafts and the Root itself?
Click to expand...
I have consistently stated the following....

a. Faith and faith alone thru grace saves eternally
b. The root supports and supplies the vines
c. Jesus produces through us as a living sacrifice
d. Any work or fruit is the DIRECT RESULT of the salvation and faith one already possesses in Christ ETERNALLY
e. WORKS DO NOT SAVE, KEEP SAVED, FINISH SALVATION AND OR EMBELLISH OUR SALVATION..... (D ABOVE)
