.....Brother, in keeping the law, will you kill me as the man of yesterday? I also say, who made you a judge and Lord over us? Why would we wrong each other? Have we here did any wrong except that in your will we find opposition to each other? I suppose that by God's hand we will all be delievered but some fail to understand that. Just as God sees one of his children suffer to wrongdoing, as in Cain and Abel, he will stand by him and avenge him that be in oppression. So tell me therefore, MOSES, why my God would allow you to kill the Egyptian by your hand and deliever your law of evils to our hearts without sin? My fellow servant is delievered by God. By your law and hand its beyond God's will. Therefore, in Christ, we are not partakers of the veil. We stand by our bretheren, pure of heart, with no need of your filthy laws. Those laws are for the killer as you were in Egypt and the avengement of the bretheren you killed. So therefore, as a killer, you keep the laws given to you. For we abide in love and not in laws.
And your point regarding the topic is?

Again, then you deny that the heart by nature is enslaved to sin !
Jag, Im not saying I am right, I am asking you to explain what you are saying helps us understand the topic.
The topic is:
'How freewill salvation perverts God's Justice' the question really means does the Arminian view of mans 'will' pervert God's Justice.
So its about a couple of things in specific... God's Justice and the extent of man's will and how they interact.
Humanity is in a state of a Fallen nature...as where Adam and Eve from the Fall (hence all humanity (except Jesus)). to go back to your original statement.. Adam and Eve (and only these pair) where originally created good but they fell and therefore all humanity after them..so no human has a pure heart (unless in Christ) . Mans (human) nature reflects in everything he does and thinks about. that's the basis of the topic..
Yep, thats why I said I feel God wants me to abide in the creation, nothing past the 7th day.
How freewill salvation perverts God's Justice ! 2
Now some will say, they die in their sins because they did not believe ? That does not matter, that just shows they were not of His Sheep Jn 10:26
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Which means, if they would have been of His Sheep that He died for as it is testified here Jn 10:15
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Then they would have believed !
But again, that's no excuse, because unbelief is part of the consequences of sin in the first place, wherein when man sinned He concluded them in Unbelief or Disobedience Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
The word concluded is key here, its the greek word sugkleivw:
to shut up together, enclose of a shoal of fishes in a net
to shut up on all sides, shut up completely
It means to imprison.
So while we are in unbelief, its a token of still being imprisoned for our crimes against God.
So to punish again men for their sins because they are in unbelief, is saying they are still being punished or imprisoned for their same crimes. So for God to punish those again that Christ died for their crimes, for their unbelief, its still a perversion of His Own Justice because He is punishing them for remaining under the very tokens of His displeasure that consigned them to prison in the first place. Now that God's Law and Justice has been satisfied for those He died for, the tokens of His displeasure ,imprisoned in unbelief, must be done away with , because no more sins are charged against them !
Ok, so you 'feel' God wants you to abide in nothing past the 7th day (as this is a hot topic on its own).. Explain why and how that fits into the topic? Don't go into the '7th day' for that's a different topic..
so if you abide in creation like all humanity does.. what does that say about God's justice and what does that say about your 'will' in relation to God's justice within salvation (as the OP asks)?
WRONG... God did not say ALL are called and few are chosen.... God said MANY are called few are chosen. Crossy some people is not given to Christ. And if you think God is unfair not to call ALL! Then you do not know God. Millions of people came into the world and died without EVER hearing the Name Jesus..... What happened to them? Were they EVER called? NOPE... so Again Crossnote you are not in Truth.
Crossy they will be judged by God and plenty of them witll enter into the Kingdom on judgment day. And MANY that calls Jesus Lord will be sent to hell.... If you do not know this, I can give you the Scripture to prove this. But then, you should know this.
Crossy when Jesus prayed, did He pray for the World, or those God gave Him and the ones that will be lieve in this.... Be PERFECT! ?????
Im not talking about the sabbath(that is man's creation). Im talking about being as God intended us to be. Without flaw. Perfect in creation. If that's not complex or argumentative enough then I have nothing else for you. I believe its that simple. Do I believe a lot has to be done to get humanity there? Yes. I also believe it has a lot to do with the teachings in the bible. Im not writting those off. I am just saying when its all said and done thats where we will be.
How freewill salvation perverts God's Justice ! 3
You see, the reason why men don't believe is because they are imprisoned in unbelief, and cannot believe, they have their minds blinded by the god of this world 2 Cor 4:3-4
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
That's being imprisoned in Unbelief Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike].
So you see, mans unbelief is but part of the wages of sin Rom 6:23, Hence those Christ died for must in the Justice of God be given Faith/Obedience, this is a token of them having had God's Law and Justice satisfied for all their sins by the Blood of Christ, that they have been redeemed from the penalty of sin, which unbelief is.
See forgiveness of sins, which Christ's blood effects , its the word Aphesis and means:
release from bondage or imprisonment
forgiveness or pardon, of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), remission of the penalty
Now understand, Forgiveness means the remission of the penalty of sin, which one consequence is imprisonment into unbelief or disobedience, so those whom Christ died for must be released from the imprisonment of unbelief !
So those whom Christ died for and did away with the penalty of their sins, which unbelief is a symptom of, it is given to them to believe on Christ as a matter of Justice Satisfied Phil 1:29
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Notice the word given here is the greek word Charizomai:
to do something pleasant or agreeable (to one), to do a favour to, gratify to show one's self gracious, kind, benevolent
to grant forgiveness, to pardon
to give graciously, give freely, bestow to forgive graciously to restore one to another
to preserve for one a person in peril
So the believing is evidence of having been forgiven by the Blood of Christ, it did for you satisfy the penalty demands of God's Law and Justice for your crimes.
Also notice that believing is given ON BEHALF OF CHRIST, For His Sake, not for the sake of the one believing, but its God's way of proving that He accepted His Son's Bloody Sacrifice as an Payment for their sins, Its the Father's rewarding His Son for His Work, that it was not in vain, for believers are Christ's Reward from the Law and Justice of His Father, for His Successful Work !
Isa 43:25
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
And its given to believe on Him, for His Name Sake !
So, again, If one for whom Christ died, dies in unbelief in their sins Jn 8:24
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Then God hath perverted Justice, which all whom falsely teach that Christ's Death was for all mankind without exception , are charging Him with !
There are those who believe that even Satan will be saved.
Not me...his destiny is the lake of fire where he will learn the terms snap, crackle and pop and unless he has (SON) block 50 million will slow roast forever as he chose his path. Sorry to say though (not) that NOBODY GONNA USURP THE KING JESUS!
Christ washed our sins and we became free(I agree). Beleive in him and heaven is yours (I agree). But you cant go around in sin and tell me all will be well on the day of rapture. What does the bible say about the day of rapture
Matthew 24:42
Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
Jesus keeps repeating, telling us to stay awake he's trying to warn us about something. So we will not be deceived by false doctrines.
Matthew 7 : 21-24.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
We can all draw out thousands of interpretation from this scripture .or we can just accept the simple truth of this passage which Jesus has said since 2000 years ago. ' Do the will of my Father no 2 ways about it, only those who endure TO THE END shall be saved. Matthews 24:13.
It says whosoever will. Who will?
Just to bring it back on topic..
What is God's justice? How is God Just and How does he show and will show he is just?
