Layman's Confession of Faith

Yet another false charge, this time saying I did not know all the OT Saints were spiritually dead in their sins.

Note how making endless false charges diverts the thread. This is the goal, to block any actual discussion of scripture.

1) No OT Saint was made perfect before Christ died, they had to wait in Abraham's bosom. Hebrews 11:39-40

2) No one was regenerated (made alive together with Christ) until after Christ died. Ephesians 2:5

Therefore all the OT Saints gained approval through faith without being made alive, quickened, or regenerated!

 

Yet another false charge, this time saying I claimed the NT Saints were not made alive.

Note how making endless false charges diverts the thread. This is the goal, to block any actual discussion of scripture.

1) No OT Saint was made perfect before Christ died, they had to wait in Abraham's bosom. Hebrews 11:39-40

2) No one was regenerated (made alive together with Christ) until after Christ died. Ephesians 2:5

3) Everyone God put "in Christ" after His death on the Cross has been made alive together with Christ, Ephesians 2:5

On and on they post, one false charge after another, because the doctrine they defend is as bogus as a 3 dollar bill.

 

Did anyone say the lost make themselves spiritually alive? Nope, so yet another strawman deflection to hide the truth.
How are we made alive? God puts us in Christ, where together with Christ we are made alive, Ephesians 2:5

Why all the false charges, misrepresentations, and bogus claims? To obfuscate, to deflect. This is all they have to hide the truth.

1) No OT Saint was made perfect before Christ died, they had to wait in Abraham's bosom. Hebrews 11:39-40

2) No one was regenerated (made alive together with Christ) until after Christ died. Ephesians 2:5

3) Everyone God put "in Christ" after His death on the Cross has been made alive together with Christ, Ephesians 2:5

On and on they post, one false charge after another, because the doctrine they defend is as bogus as a 3 dollar bill.

 

If you look past the absurdity of the question, the reason why people cannot understand spiritual solid food (meat) is because those things can only be discerned with the help of our indwelt Spirit. However, the lost can discern spiritual milk, the fundamentals of the gospel, 1 Corinthians 3:1.

 

Of Saving Faith - Faith God credits as righteousness, being from the heart, fully committed and devoted to Christ, having more to do with our love of Christ than believing the right doctrines, Romans 4:4-5; 24.

Of God's Covenant – God’s eternal covenant was to provide eternal life for those of His choosing, based on crediting their faith as righteousness, keeping His covenant of love. James 2:5

Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation – God grants repentance via His revelatory grace, i.e. providing us with an understanding of God’s perfection and our sins and their consequences. When we repent we give glory to God. 2 Timothy 2:24-26; Revelation 16:9.

 

Yet another post full of false assertions, devoid of truth.

1) Talking to them as to people without the Spirit! Therefore people without the Spirit can understand Spiritual Milk. 1 Corinthains 3:1

2) Not all the lost all the time see the gospel as absurdity, recall Soil #2 and #3 of Matthew 13. Calvinism's false claim is the absurdity.

3) Being spiritually dead does not mean unable to seek God (Matthew 23:13) and trust in Christ, Romans 4:4-5, 24.

4) Again it is a misrepresentation of scripture to say the lost cannot be aware of the kingdom of God.

5) Remember we were chosen through faith, 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

 

On and on the falsehoods flow
The poster does not even comprehend the view he is disparaging.
If God credits our faith as righteousness, it is saving faith. Period. End of Discussion.

 

Yet another made up assertion without any biblical support. If God credits a person's faith as righteousness, no matter how worthless it might be, it becomes saving faith. Close to a dozen verses refer to "your faith" or "his faith" but not one ever says your God given and instilled faith. Not one.

 

Yet another denial of scripture. Read Matthew 23:13 and answer your own question. Lost, spiritually dead, people were seeking God, as shown by being in the process of "entering" the kingdom.

All they have folks are false assertions, but no actual support from scripture.

They assert being spiritually dead means unable to seek God, but Matthew 23:13 proves otherwise.
They assert people without the Spirit are unable to understand spiritual milk, but 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 proves otherwise.
They assert our election for salvation was unconditional, but 2 Thessalonians 2:13 proves otherwise.
They assert Christ did not die for all mankind but 1 John 2:2 proves otherwise.
