For starters, you did with your statement below. In it, you deny Christ as Savior. You make salvation dependent upon a man's actions
(turning in this case), not God's. When you take the giving of salvation away from the Saviour, as you do below, you, in essence, have "scoffed at the Lord Jesus Christ and/or the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ", because as Saviour, salvation is by Christ alone and it IS the gospel of Christ. Man cannot be his own saviour and Christ also be his Saviour. It is either only of Christ, or it is only of man. There is/can be no middle ground. By you saying otherwise, you say precisely what you've claimed that you didn't say.
"I did not state what you claim.
Here is what I said in
Post 522:
16 Nevertheless when it [the heart of the reader] shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2 Cor 3:15-16 – the veil remains upon the heart of some when they read Scripture. However, when the reader turns his or her heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, the veil is removed. [note: the verb is active which means the
reader turns his/her heart]
In 2 Cor 3:16, the words
shall turn are translated from the Greek word epistrephó which means to turn. The verb is active,
which means the person turns. If the verb was passive, that would mean the person was turned.
The veil being removed ...
taken away is passive, which means that the person does not remove the veil. The veil is removed from him or her.
The person does the turning, the Lord removes the veil. "
