I will no longer respond to ignorance or those willingly ignoring context......this will be my last response to you if you cannot start being honest.
The context is FAITH on our part....it is DEALT in measure BY GOD to men and is a SPIRITUAL GIFT.....NOT a WORK on man's part
GET honest or do not address me as I will no longer respond to ignorance and or a rejection of context and or a denial of truth or skewed truth
Honest about what? The faith of God?
I would be careful with name calling there could be three finger pointing right back in ignorance
Our new faith the free gift coming from his work of faith …. yes. Not of our own self
The context is faith on his part working in us to both will and perform the good pleasure of it. Christ's faith is a work .Don't leave earth without it.
It is not as the other alternative of our imagination of our own heart .A person must be born again. We are born with "no faith" none not a little.. , no understanding by which we could seek after Him .No man of his own volition could seek and find .His word is the light.
He must do the first works by giving us the hearing of His faith .
Some people when they realize God works by faith.... rest in that work .Others say he does not need faith. Completely not understanding what faith is and what it performs as a work.
