Do we ' inherit '
ok were going round in circles here . The bible is not fighting within self. As I keep saying we have to interpret scripture with scripture. Galation 5 cannot undo The Holy Spirits seal , especially as we are clearly told how long we are seald until ,and there is no conditions placed on Recieving the Holy Spirit but through faith and not works. The bible also says who ever is Justified WILL be glorified. ( Rom 8 . 23 ,28 and onwards . Eph 1.13 , 4.30 , 1.5 .
ect ect ) So let's look at what your saying . You are agreeing that drunkards , liars , adulteres , murderers ( your favourite ) if they are not born again and sealed by the holy Spirit will not go to heaven . I assume also you believe that a person who just s stops murdering , stealing, ect cleans his life up and from that moment on lets just say for arguments sake ,never sins again will he go to heaven ? no and why not ? Because simply by living a good life and doing good is not how a person can go to heaven . They need to recieve Jesus.He is the only way . Yes He has died for their sins 2000 years ago but unless they receive the atonement and are sealed by the Holy Spirit until when ? the day they sin lots ? no until they grieve the Holy Spirit ? No .. what does it say ? UNTIL THE DAY OF REDEMPTION ( THE ADOPTION IN ROMANS 8.23 ) So if a unbeliever who has sinned really badly all his life after he simply believes the Gospel ,recieves Jesus ( John 1.12 ) on Monday, dies on Friday and goes straight to be with Jesus . Why are you saying if a believer who sins badly can't go to heaven . I'm stating the obvious here to help ,but your theology is saying sinners can be saved unless they sin ?
actually we must interpret Scripture with Spirit also. if any interpretation goes against the Spirit of God (what He reveals to us personally) how can we accept it? we can't. those who Worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.
but Some are on Milk, some are on Herbs, some on Meat. some are on a diet of a Combination of things mixed in with Falsehoods and Guesses ..
how will we know the the Falsehoods from Truth? how will we ever discover our Errors, we who are so far down here below God in Knowledge and True Understanding?
1 Corinthians 13:12
“For now we see through a glass,
darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
We must Seek the answers from Him my friend and not Rely only on our Own interpretations, Teachings, Dogmas, Ideas, Beliefs.
Jeremiah 29:13
…12Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
with ALL your Heart. so how much are you searching my friend?
a heart involved in in too much Evil and Wickedness will certainly be Far from Him and His Kingdom, and from Finding more and more Truth.
Psalm 145:18-20
The LORD
is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in
truth…
Psalm 34:17
16But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to sever their memory from the earth. 17
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. 18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.…
