You're conflating "soul' with "human spirit". It is the human spirit which God breathed into the lifeless body that produces the driving force, the outcome of that is a living being. The bottom line is the same, you don't have a soul, you ARE a soul. Man was not given a soul, man BECAME a soul. When we're resurrected, the same process in Gen. 2:7 is repeated, see how the two witness are resurrected.
Have a nice Day.....
 
Yeah but them devils forgot about the Holy Ghost leading a brutha in to all Truth (God's Word) so the bruthaz wouldn't be ignorant of satan's devices.

And the devil and his demons really hate getting beat up and cut down by the Sword of the Spirit being spoken out of the bruthaz mouth in faith which is why they leave.
Actually, what the demons do is watch people and determine what they want. Then they offer assistance and cite scripture that supports what the believer wants. Then, if the believer shows any interest, they actively help the believer get what they want. They continue behaving until the believer accepts that the demonic voice is that of the Holy Spirit. At that point they can pervert scripture just enough to twist all the truths that they have shared and the believer will accept the distortion. The demons play the long game, with just occasional direct attacks to conceal their long game.

That is exactly what is going on...

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number
of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

OK..... It is Holy Spirit.
Not, "holy ghost."

There ya go!
Now you got something else to argue for!
 
That's what satan and his demons keep claiming as they try to get me to return back to walking after the old man in sin.

I'm like Jesus, satan has nothing in me so to the devil I'm so slick that he just can't get a handle on me so he can't take me down.

Yes and I got my faith from Jesus Christ Who has empowered me to walk in victory over sin unlike some among us that like to keep the door open to sin so they can enjoy a little sinful behavior on the weekends ya know.





Everyone has sinned a few times after having been born again. The smart ones admit it and quit it and use 1 John 1:9 while those who are carnal among us like to enjoy them some sin every once in a while which is why they advocate for the false "security in sin" so called gospel (greasy grace in your face)

You do error not knowing the scriptures, or otherwise reject portions of scripture that does not fit in with the greasy grace agenda:

Ever see these instructions in God's Word???

1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil

John 8:34
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that DOES righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Galatians 5:16
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

2 Peter 1:4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Peter 2:14,15
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Romans 6:1,2
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:13,14
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

2 Timothy 2:21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
"So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12

Too bad you did not know that Jesus actually taught one can lose their salvation:

John 15:1,2
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

John 15:5
IF A MAN ABIDE NOT IN ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.



And it's too bad you don't agree with what Jesus said through Paul either

Romans 11:21,22
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

1 Timothy 4:1,2
Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

*A person cannot depart from the faith is they were never in the faith begin with

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Galatians 2:17
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
(NOT in our own strength - see Philippians 4:13)

Hebrews 10:28-31
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Not sure why you posted that to me, because I am perhaps the main proponent of MFW on this forum!
At least, I give the most complete explanation of why MFW is enabled by God, which I will post if you want me to.

Learn this.
Not all destruction by fire mention ed in the Bible speaks of Hell.

Read very carefully.
God will hold us all accountable for what it tells us.


For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be
revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has
been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will
suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
1 Cor 3:11-15​

Loss of rewards.
Not salvation!


Be hardheaded and stupid if you wish.

What is MFW?
 
What they will not lose is going to heaven after they have died a miserable death.

There we have folks right here - they claim you can live in sin and still go to Heaven! clueless-doh.gif

This is why so many Christians have become corrupt listening to this heresy that teaches them they can live after the flesh in rebellion against the Lord and they still go to Heaven.

This is the falling away the Lord warned about that would happen in the end times.

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Matthew 24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.


God will not be mocked.

Then you should STOP mocking Him at your very earliest convenience!

Galatians 6:7-8 (see Gen 8:22)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

God gave man free will... if man chooses to turn and walk away from the Lord, God will let them do so.

2 Timothy 2:12
If we deny Him, He also will deny us

WHY??? Because God is not mocked we reap what we sow, that's why.

If one claims we DO reap corruption when we sin, then they are admitting they do not believe OSAS / Eternal security doctrine (and sadly many of their friends will forsake them!).... and if one claims we DO NOT reap what we sow, then according to Gal 6:7, that would be mocking God!

So Gal 6:7,8 is quite the quandary, quite the state of uncertainty and perplexity for the adherents of OSAS doctrine.

That is what the religious hypocrites said about Jesus. Matthew 12:24


You suffer from zeal without knowledge.

That's rich coming from someone who falsely teaches Christians can live in sin and still go to Heaven.

This is what happens when people such as yourself refuse to accept the whole counsel of God.

James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

1 Peter 1:14-17
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work,
pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

Jude 1:4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (no self control, living after the flesh), and denying (contradicting, opposing Jesus’ teachings) the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (referring to false teachers and false brethren - see Matthew 13:24-30)
 
That's rich coming from someone who falsely teaches Christians can live in sin and still go to Heaven.

Maybe try saying it the way I have been saying it?
Can you do so without lying?

You're just a mob stirrer.
What you do is not of God.
Its called, the emotional revolt of the soul, and is your war cry.

Here you go, buddy.
It was written for your kind...

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.




Proverbs 12:1
 
The Lord was thinking of you when He put that in His Word.

One cannot use greasy grace cherry picking and try to correct others with it.

He was thinking of me.
To let me know that stubborn ones like you I would be wasting my time.

In the mean while. Others will get it.


Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid.
Proverbs 12:1

God tells it like it is...
 
MFW = Faith = IF = moral accountability = divine justice = Moral Free Will


Grace is God's enabling power for those unable to do something God requires.

2 Corinthians 12:9, God's power is made perfect in human weakness, offering support to do what is otherwise impossible.

Grace grants the free will needed (by suppressing the flesh), so that our souls are made free to make a moral choice.
But also, free to make an immoral choice. Just like Adam made his choice!

grace and peace ......

Except that none of us who believe you can't lose your salvation from death actually teach that. That is simply your perception of what is said.

I don't recommend anyone try as you won't be doing much living, just ask King Saul.

The Spirit controls the body by preventing the malfunctions of the fallen body, which would make us swerve off course.
The Spirit does not drive our body. It controls us as to counter the defects of our fallen nature, so that our soul will be able
to do God's will, which we must learn about when being taught sound doctrine.
The human born again spirit (should) cooperate with the Holy Spirits leading. If so, the spirit then leads the soul ( mind, will and emotions) which in turn leads the body. " For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom. 8:14. You state that " The Spirit controls the body..." then you state that " The Spirit does not drive our body." If I'm DRIVING my car I'm CONTROLLING it, so clarify please.
 
That is why Jesus said the following about unbelievers (who were physically alive.)

He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Jesus said to him...
“Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:59-60


.
I don't believe that this man was an unbeliever. If he were would Jesus have told him to preach the Kingdom of God?? I don't think so, Jesus was telling him to be a witness.

You ever have a car where the wheels were out of alignment?
Or, the brakes were going bad?

You are still the driver.
But bad function can cause you to lose control and cause an accident.

With the Holy Spirit controlling?
He makes your steering aligned and makes you able to keep a straight line.
He makes the brakes stop you when you step on the brake pedal.
We still make the choices, but with the Spirit controlling our flesh, our souls can express the true you without maladjusted function.

If the Holy Spirit took over everything?
Controlled everything you do?
He controls to enable us to do the right thing if we should so choose to.
Without out us being the driver?
Then how would God be able to evaluate us when the time comes?

Now, The leading of the Spirit?
That is God's GPS that He wants us to utilize.
That can only be done righteously if we possess enough sound doctrine.
God leads us into sound doctrinal teachings at some point.
Not everyone accepts, and they will move on according to their own way of thinking.

For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the Spirit, and those of the Spirit are opposed to the flesh.
They are in conflict with one another, so that you cannot do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law."

Galatians 5:17-18

When our wheels are aligned, their is no opposition to steering in the direction we need to go!
 
I don't believe that this man was an unbeliever. If he were would Jesus have told him to preach the Kingdom of God?? I don't think so, Jesus was telling him to be a witness.

The "dead" was about the 'unbelievers' Jesus said the man should leave to the duty of burying the dead.
Not about the man himself.
