2Tim 2:12-13:

If we disown him, he will also disown us;
If we are faithless, he will remain faithful (to his threatenings) for he cannot disown himself (his justice).

so why would you disown someone, unless you had no faith?

(and where did you get that interpretation, just asking)

the word deny, he can not deny himself. means he can not deny his promise, his justice, and his righteousness.

He made the promise to all who trust him, to give them eternal life. If He has to remove that eternal gift he gave, he must deny himself (his promise, his justice, his redemption, his gift, his everything)

Ok....We all argue our beliefs based upon what we perceive to be absolute truth based upon what we have studied, been taught, believe etc. Let this thread be short precise statements that we all can agree on like the following statements....If your not to high and mighty and are needing a break from the norm then add one that we can all agree on....or maybe let the thread die and go the way of the dodo. NOTE--THIS THREAD IS FOR BIBLE BELIEVING PEOPLE AND GEARED TOWARD THE BIBLE

Please keep it along these lines of thought...

God created the heavens and the Earth<---We can all agree on this right?
Mary was the mother of Jesus<----We can all agree on this right?
Jesus died to pay for humanities sins<----We can all agree on this right?

So...what line of thought do you have that we can all agree on?
... and was raised again for our justification.

I didnt read the whole of this monster thread Im sure its in there somewhere lol

Amen and like it teaches in Galatians 2:16-21...we are saved and JUSTIFIED by the Perfect faith OF Christ...the word of can be translated Of or From and both indicate SOURCE....The perfect faith of Jesus is the the source of our salvation and justification....that is why salvation and justification are both eternal....the faith of Christ is perfect and eternal......!

It's true......He does Love his people unconditionally
Amen to this...for God so loved the world (cosmos) whole order of things.........if God loved us conditionally we would all be in trouble and it would be very, very hot at the end of the day....!

Yes, that is what "faithless" means.

(and where did you get that interpretation, just asking)
From the text, v. 12b.

We have the same statement in Ro 3:3-5:

"What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness?
Not at all! Let God be true and every man a liar
(who says that God is faithless).
. . .our unrighteousness (faithlessness) brings out God's righteousness (against sin) more clearly. . ."

the word deny, he can not deny himself. means he can not deny his promise, his justice, and his righteousness.
And that includes his promise to punish unrighteousness, which is his justice and righteousness.

He made the promise to all who trust him,
The texts of Ro 3:3-5; 2Tim 2:13 are speaking of a different promise,
they are speaking of the promise to punish unrighteousness.

"Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof."

Psalms 46:2,3.
Amen to this one as well.......God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power.....and if God be for us...who can be against us......!

This view contradicts the following....

1. God has dealt to EVERY man a measure of faith
2. Christ died unto SIN once
3. Christ became SIN for us
4. For God so loved the COSMOS (World) <--whole order of things
5. God would have ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth
6. The grace of God that brings salvation has shined down upon all MANKIND
etc.

The only sin not covered under the blood of Christ is the sin of UNBELIEF into Christ...blasphemy of the H.S. equates the work of Christ to the power of the devil which is a state of unbelief and while one remains in unbelief they cannot be forgiven.....

I agree the forgiveness, salvation and justification only comes to those who believe, but at the end of the day Christ paid the sin debt of HUMANITY........
Salvation is "a delivery". There is only one deliverance, salvation, for eternal. There are many deliverances (salvations) we receive here in earth. Most of the salvation scriptures are referring to timely deliverances. God has dealt every born again man a measure of faith. Faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, Gal 5:22, and you have to be born of the Spirit before he can have faith. The carnal man, void of the Spirit, cannot discern spiritual things, such as faith, 1 Cor 2:14. Number 2 & 3 are true. There is a deliverance (salvation) when you come unto a knowledge of the truth, but it is a timely salvation, not eternal. John 3:16, Thayer's Greek translation of the word "world" is pertaining to believers only, not all mankind. Can you give me a scripture on number 6? I can't find that wording in my King James version.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared unto all men......

The word appeared is epe-phino and means shined upon..........

The word world is kosmos and means the whole order of things...even creation groans and travails unto this present day waiting for the adoption

Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand {is} the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind."
