I know what you are saying. Some of the people who I think are intellectually the closest to understanding salvation and sanctification are the farthest away from loving their brothers. And some people who are the farthest away intellectually to understanding salvation and sanctification are closest to expressing their love for their brothers.
Maybe it is because intellectual types sometimes have a hard time expressing their feelings?
The fact remains that without the correct knowledge you will be acting on error.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
what childish drivel.
no respector of persons means when it comes to JUDGMENT.
doctor lawyer indian chief...all the same righteous Judgment.
calling God a rapist...so clever....FORCING HIMSELF ON PEOPLE.....oh ya....course. you regenerated yourself while you were dead. how SPIRITUAL YOU ARE!
but you pelagians did it all yourselves. Lucky God.
and calling God a murderer....even though Jesus said all men are already condemned.
hmmmm....typical blasphemer

BUDDY
your godliness is impressive. but
you came in a little late.
4runner has repeatedly called me satan, a dog, you name it.
and consistently tells others they're not saved. LOL.
he's lied about everything since he got here and everybody knows it.
and he ain't my brother.
he's a heretic.
if he is willing to hear the Gospel, i'm happy to share it with him.
but he's already got some other religion so i doubt he's interested.
but i'm glad he has a friend.

Unwarranted confidence in human ability is a product of fallen human nature ... God's grace in Christ is not merely necessary but is the sole efficient cause of salvation. We confess that human beings are born spiritually dead and are incapable even of cooperating with regenerating grace. We reaffirm that in salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by his grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life. We deny that salvation is in any sense a human work. Human methods, techniques or strategies by themselves cannot accomplish this transformation. Faith is not produced by our unregenerated human nature. - Cambridge Declaration

shroom:
the nearest i can come to expressing this is:
you have a child you love and know.
(since you are not omniscient, we'll have to give you some help)
you present your child with some toy animals and tape record him naming them.
then you go an sit with him to see what he will name them.
you already knew, but YOU STILL MADE THE NAMES HIS CHOICE. you gave him that priviledge.
and is His patience tried continually with man? LOOK HOW WICKED MAN IS. and yet He has not destroyed us. He has not kept secret the fact that He is filled with wrath over our sin, and that He will one day pour out that wrath.
But He is merciful enough TO SAVE SOME.
why is that so hard to accept?
as for abraham, come on shroom...yes, God does test us.
but all of that with Isaac WAS GOD REVEALING HIS PLAN TO MAN.
that event is recorded for us, and abram's trust in the Promise was imputed to him as righteousness.
was there EVER any question God was going to have Isaac sacrificed?
