Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
We can debate,but have they been chosen,and are we debating with people that have not been chosen,and will defend their interpretation that is according to the flesh,so they will not listen anyway,unless you throw out a treat of fleshy interpretation,for there are many who claim Jesus,but not all who do are saved.
Are they saved,were they chosen.
How can someone say we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with Christ,for if that is their belief,then they will hold unto sin,for the flesh will take advantage of that,and they want sin,so how are they saved if they are part of the people that are workers of iniquity.
It is strange that Jesus said they could not dwell with Him,because they were workers of iniquity,and they say we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with Christ,so they will hold unto sin,and then think that they are not part of those that are workers of iniquity,all while sinning.
What.
If they did not want sin in their life they would be able to see the truth of the Bible,for they would be able to accept that it says abstain from sin,but because they want sin in their life,they cannot see it.
These type of people do not sin,and then honestly give it up,but they hold unto it,and might not do it for a while,to show God that they are really trying to beat it,but they know they are going to do it again,and do they think they are fooling God,but they are fooling themselves.
They will hold unto sin,for why would they not,seeing they believe they cannot abstain from sin,and it does not affect their relationship with Christ,so it is obvious they will hold unto sin,or they would not believe those things.
Anybody that truly hates sin,and does not want to do it,can see the truth of the Bible,but people that believe that we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with God,will not be able to see it.
But they will not get it because they want sin,so that is how they see the Bible,for if they did not want sin,they could see the truth.
So the debate is those who do not want sin,and those who want sin,and they will debate from both positions,and see the scriptures that way.
Which God hates sin,and says sin separates us from Him,and those who name the name of Christ has to depart from iniquity,and a Spirit led life can abstain from sin,and if a person does not endure temptation,and sins,it lead to death,do not be deceived,unless they give it up,and not all who say Lord will be able to dwell with Him because they were workers of iniquity,and if a person holds unto sin the blood of Christ cannot wash it away,and if they do not help the poor,if they can,and go by their wants,instead of only their needs,and the needs of other if possible,they erred from the faith,do not have faith,the love of God does not dwell in them,and if they love the world,or the things in the world,they are not of the Father.
Come on,what do you think is the better position,it is those who say abstain from sin,for how does the other position even have a leg to stand on,but they will keep defending something that has no substance,or reality.
The people that believe we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with God,has no leg to stand on,a belief without substance,or reality,and they will still defend it,and support it.
What.
