we are saved by grace through faith.....we are not saved by faith alone...that quote is not found in scripture....correct me i I am wrong....
Luke 7:20..Thy FAITH hath saved thee....go in peace
Luke 18:42 ........thy faith hath saved thee.

yes. i am saying God's own are still sinners who need the Gospel.
you mean those that are not yet saved...or is it those who are saved from sin? or are they are saved from sin and still practise sin?

1 Peter 4:1
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

Romans 6:1-6King James Version (KJV)
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[SUP]2 [/SUP]God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.


you are not going to tell me it is the spirit that does not sin and cannot sin ...are you? because you will have to explain why the scripture is telling the spirit that does not sin and cannot sin , not to sin....

i do see that in Scripture.

but i mean no disrespect toward whose who see it differently,
because there are also verses commanding us to come...to seek...

it's a sort of tension in the Bible i haven't resolved.
but in general, i'm very monergistic.
Would they be like the paralytic whom Jesus told to take up his mat and walk?

Did he obey Christ's command because he was able, or did Christ first enable him to obey the command?

All those born of Adam are spiritual paralytics.

Died for our sins how? In the sense of being punished by His Father for what we did,
In the sense of

Is 53:5:

"the punishment that brought us peace
(with God, of whom we were enemies, Ro 5:10)
was
upon him, by his wounds we are healed."

2Pe 2:24:

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree. . .
by his wounds you have been healed."

or...died because He came to teach us about God in obedience to His Father and was simply murdered?
Well, there goes the atonement (Ro 3:25).

Doctrine from the pit of hell. . .slipped right on in the pride in one's own foolish reasoning.

Anathema!

yep. no one can come to Jesus unless the Father drags them...:rolleyes:

i wonder sometimes if the paralytic didn't feel within his body that the Lord had already made him well.

God's work always comes first...and finally, for that matter!

sorry about that.

monergism: God alone initiates and completes the work of salvation.
Thank you. Does monergism include the idea that people make a free will choice to believe in God?
please be careful about theology (God words) coming from someone who's not saved.
I'm careful. I understand that Jewish people were taught and believed hings for centuries that weren't true. I think it's mistake for Christians to think it couldn't happen to them.

better to get it from the Bible.
It's all in the Bible.

Sis, I didn't mean our sins today. I meant ever...even when He was on the cross? Look at any scripture concerning Jesus sacrifice.
Do they mean Jesus came here in sacrifice to "pay for" our wrongdoing, or
do they mean Jesus came here in sacrifice to teach us about God and was just killed?
He came to die as a ransom for the sins of many (Mt 20:28, 26:28; Jn 10:11).

monergists do not believe that, but synergists (those who believe our will is free with regard to God) do.

i'm just saying perhaps it's not a great idea to get theology regarding Christ's atonement for sinners
from someone who hates Jesus. :(

i've heard the whole objection on the grounds of the prohibition from human sacrifice before...
it tends to be a Jewish unbelievers trump card.

JESUS submitted Himself to the will of God the Father.
Yes I believe that. What I'm asking is, do you believe Jesus submitted Himself to the will of God and voluntarily chose be punished to pay for our sins? To suffer God's anger on Himself?

Sorry for my illiteracy. I don't know what modernistic is. Honestly sis I'm asking these questions because a Jewish friend was showing me stuff from the OT on why he doesn't believe Jesus is Messiah. I do believe Jesus is the Lord and that He died for our sins, but, because of certain things which were pointed out to me that are difficult to explain away, (such as God's revulsion of human sacrifice....that's just one) I'm looking at the scriptures in a way that shows how Jesus could die for God without violating
His word.
You need to read the entire NT, and read it on your knees.

Luke 7:20..Thy FAITH hath saved thee....go in peace
Luke 18:42 ........thy faith hath saved thee.
you are a smart guy ...does not the scripture say the Son of God had power on earth to forgive sins...
Matthew 9:6
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

After his resurrection did he not leave his disciples instructions for those who will come to believe in him ?
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost


Mark 16:15-16King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

maybe Elin could post a link to her excellent study of Leviticus?
because if i speak words you haven't heard yet,
i make up for it in my technological illiteracy. :)
Do you think he should read the NT first?

Oh no not at all. As said in the gosples Jesus says no one takes my life i give it up freely (very broken down lol) Jesus wasn't punished He gave Himself willingly.
Elf, you need to clarify that.

Punishment is penalty.

Jesus did pay the horrific penalty, but it was willingly, not unwillingly.

Jesus was willingly punished for our sin, but it took an angel to strengthen him.

Free will is a tough one to explain. God doesn't have free will as in He cannot go against His character ie: God cannot lie.
As far as humans I don't think we have free will because except for God's Grace we would always choose sin. And our will is not free when it bumps up against the Sovereignty of God. Is that understandable?

Salvation-->FAITH into Christ and His work--->genuine faith is a gift as Christ has done the work...ANY WORKS we do after biblical salvation (being born of the Spirit) is not US doing the works as it is Christ dia the Holy Spirit through US that does the work and that is why ALL glory goes to GOD as we are a LIVING SACRIFICE-->I.E. GOD through US does the works which prove that we have BEEN BORN AGAIN.....This is also another reason that it is a gift as we are not the on
we are saved by grace through faith...where do you get those fables you make up....what is faith into Christ...any works we do after biblical salvation....so if a man sin or do an evil deed after being born again....is it Christ doing that work? You are saying some people don't get genuine faith ...so God gives some bogus faith?

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not a mongerist then.

My friend doesn't hate Jesus. He believes God can forgive sins because people repent and turn to Him. Jesus did come here to point us toward God. This is why I've asked if you believe Jesus was punished for our sins by God (the traditional christian view), or because of our sins, came here to teach us and was was executed? The scriptures seem to mean either.

There is no trump card between my friend and me. He doesnt completely reject how prophecy could be fulfilled in 2 comings. Jesus said scripture cannot be broken, so I wouldn't pass over what God says in the OT just to win a debate. My friend sees many similarities between Jesus and how the OT describes Israel true King. God punishing someone for the sins of others isn't among them. Maybe the Christian view of this is skewed.
