Matt 18 is another place where "forgiveness revoked" is a subject of the Bible - often ignored by those clinging to man-made-tradition over the Word of God.
[FONT="]32 ""Then summoning him, his lord said to him, "You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.[/FONT]
[FONT="]33 " Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'[/FONT]
[FONT="]34 ""And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.[/FONT]
[FONT="]35 "" My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.'' [/FONT]
Matt 6
12 And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But
if you do not forgive others, then
your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
By contrast the Bible says --
"'
Here is the perseverance of the saints - here are they that KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
In the example above the Faithless -- and ungrateful among the saints are getting a pretty serious warning about what will happen to them.
A warning that man-made traditions like OSAS say "should not exist".
And that is a "clue" for anyone not married to OSAS over the Bible - that something is amiss.
You say a BAC keeps God's commandments
Is that Rev 14:12 text - "ME" saying that?
"'
Here is the perseverance of the saints - here are they that KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
Is this how you play "your game"? When the scripture is quoted you then claim it is "ME" as the author of the WORD of God??
Really?
That flies with some Baptists??
Your argument is "with the text" -- obviously.
There is no problem with any bible text, so the problem lies with your preaching it incorrectly.
Hint: Read the actual posts.
We don't see you "exegeting Rev 14:12" or Matt 18, or Matt 8 at all.
I quote them - and point to obvious "details in the text" that OSAS "needs to ignore".
And when you respond in an effort to prop up the man-made tradition of OSAS you do so by "ignoring the details in the text" that are in bold and highlight.
You respond by 'gaming the text' not by exegeting the actual "inconvenient details" found IN the text.
This is incredibly obvious for all to see.
And we both know it.
in Christ,
