Brother, i did not miss out that part, i merely don't believe you concerning the double negative statement that you teach, to make void what the verse plainly and clearly teaches.
Feel free to explain away these verses then.
John 6:
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John 10:
28 And
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
That is why I am reading the double negative to mean what it means: He would NEVER do that.
You say and teach that the "part" is not the name, but referring to his inheritance. This Scriptures does not teach. Verily i will tell you the Truth, Any person who's name is written in the Book, will receive the inheritance, they are not separated one from the other as you are suggesting above. If your name is written in the Book, you will receive the inheritance.
Then you have to explain why there are vessels unto dishonour in His House along with the vessels unto dishonour.
2 Timothy 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.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
So that means believers that do not depart from inqiuity will lose the rewards: and that part can include the attending of the Marriage Supper in the city of God: his part would be taken out. Can a vessel unto dishonour have a place of honour at the Supper table? No.
Why else would believers be warned?
2 John 1:8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
So that is the excuse you are going to use, YOU teach that that book is the book of the living which is entirely different from the book of Life. What Scriptures teach you that? Where in all of Scriptures does it separate the Book of life from the Book of the living? Can you speak for Moses? How do you know which book he is referring too? it merely says Book. How then do you derive that that book is the Book of living and not the Book of Life? What Scriptures teach that it is the Book of living that Moses was referring too? Or is that what you have to believe so that it fits your own personal belief?
It's not an excuse. The book of the living dealt with life down here. Moses would not ask God to take his name out in sparing the people if that was the actual Book of Life. The Book of Life is about the City of God above.
According to the Word of God who receives the Holy Spirit?
Acts5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
So according to the Inspired Word of God, those who OBEY Jesus receive the Holy Ghost.
Obeying the gosple of grace, brother, which is done by believing in Jesus Christ.
Those who OBEY HIM are they who are sealed, NOT those who disobey Him and continue to live in sin.
Do consider that point for a bit. Any sin committed by a believer means what? They were never saved, and thus they do not have the Holy Spirit? That is not what you sare saying, right?
Then are you saying that we are working for our salvation because we still have to obey Him in order to get the promise of the Holy Ghost?
There's a concundrum here no matter how you look at it, but scripture is clear below.
1 Corinthians 1:
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but
to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
John 1:
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Romans 11:
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Ephesians 1:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
So the baptism Peter was talking about was the baptism with the Holy Ghost for obeying the gospel.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
So the only repentance and obedience in respect towards the Gospel of grace is to repent from unbelief by believing in Jesus Christ to be saved.
The rest is the call for discipleship in living that reconcil
ed (
not past tense) relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and theree are dire consequences for not following Him as His disciple, but salvation is not on the table to be lost.
You seem to have a habit of picking and choosing which verses you will live by and which ones you will ignore. A person can only come to the understanding of the Truth, when they believe ALL Scriptures, when they ALL fit together perfectly. NOT believing some and ignoring others. Tell me. if a person hates someone, are they Heaven bound? if a person fornicates are they Heaven bound? If a person has not forgiveness toward another are they Heaven Bound. It is written that all liars shall burn in the lake of fire and brimstone. Can a Saved person be considered a LIAR, and still be Heaven bound. What then, because a person claims to be Saved, yet they continue to lie, they are NOT a LIAR?
This is referring to those that profess to know Him and yet live in sin: that person is a liar. It was not referring to whethor or not the person was ever a true believer or that he was never saved. To have fellowship with the Father & the Son for anyone to claim that they know Him, they need to walk in the light as the Son did.
know you not that ALL reap what they have sown, the unsaved and Saved alike? God chastises Everyone that doeth evil, only more so to those who claim to be Christians followers of His Son, when they sin against Him.
True, which brings us back to point: how can those that God has to chasten for not departing from iniquity can have a full reward at His House? There is a loss that will cause a weeping and gnashing of teeth like Esau giving up his birthright for a meal.
Again, show me Scriptures that teach that, else it is what you teach and not the Word of God.
If we use the verses to determine how a text is translated in use of that verse, **example: pneuma can be principle, demons, ghosts, Holy Ghost, mental disposition, & etc. of which the text is defined by how it is used in the verse**
then the book is best defined by how it is used or applied in that verse as well.
#1 Would Moses ask God to blot his name out of the book of the living to be cast into the lake of fire? No. Nobody would ask that. Nobody.
Revelation 20:
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Thus the book of the living has to be about being blotted out from living down here any further. Moses was laying his life down here so that God would spare the people, but God rendered His judgment anyway with a plague on the people.
It is not the Book of the living that a person is judged out of, but the Book of Remembrance, this book records every thought, every deed, Every thing that a person does. The Book of Life and the Book of Living are the same Book, only you say they are different, because if they are the same book then you would have to CHANGE what you believe. Instead of Changing what you believe, it is easier to change verses to fit what you believe.
Revelation 20:
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
The book of the living cannot be the same book as the book of life. Do note that the plurality of books is written and it was ANOTHER book was oepned that was the book of life. So in spite of what was written in the other books, if they were not written in the book of life, they go to the lake of fire.
Malachi3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a BookofRemembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
No. The Book of Remembrance is not for sinners that did not fear the Lord nor thought upon His name.
Again, there are books.... and there is a specific book called the Book of Life.
my teaching lines up with Scriptures perfectly, you teach that Scriptures do not mean what they plainly say, and then go about to interpret them to fit your own beliefs. Scriptures plainly teach your NAME can be blotted out of His Book.
^i^
I did not mean to insult you, brother.
1 Corinthians 13:
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
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.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Galatians 5:
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Philippians 3:
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
