Nope. Just more man-glorifying posting by you. God is not a mere bystander, hoping that someone will "choose" correctly.

Seems like you are robot glorifying.

Faith is a gift by Grace, but people have to choose to cooperate with that Grace.

Unless people submit to the Grace, they can’t have Faith.

God doesn’t want preprogrammed robots loving Him, He wants true sons and heirs who choose to love Him, cooperating with His Grace.

Robots of God do not share in the inheritance, Sons of God have the entire estate.

The sons of God are those whom He elected to save before the world began and whose sins He imputed to His Son in order for His Son to pay for their sins, and God sent His Son to live out a perfect righteousness as the God-Man that God then imputed to His elect.

Again, this is in the foreknowledge of God not the predetermining of God. People are free to accept the grace and repent or not.

You can argue your man-centered religion until you are blue in the face, @Cathode, and I will never turn away from God to follow after man-centered religion again. I already spent decades doing that until God gave me spiritual life with spiritual eyes and spiritual ears to understand the gospel of Christ.

In His Great Love and humility, God reduced Himself to not only be a bystander, but a beggar holding out His hand for His Son. The Father is always looking for the return of His Son.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.“

The Father does not wait for the return of His robot, but anxiously waits for the return of His flesh and blood Son, flesh of His flesh, His image and likeness, His Son.

The Father recognises the Son even from a long way off, He watches and waits for His errant Son with great love. He has servants waiting to put robe, ring and sandals on His Son.

We must think the better of it, and decide to return to the Fathers House. A Robot would be happy feeding pigs in a sty, in a far off land, but a Son of The Father would not.

When you call on The Father, you are claiming Sonship.

A robot returns because it is programmed to. A Son returns because he loves his Father.

you will loose the inheritance
Click to expand...

I can't lose the inheritance because my inheritance is in Christ and Christ holds me and keeps me:

John 6:37-39 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 10:27-29 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

he humbled himself

Christ never ceased to be God. Humbling simply means that He took on flesh so that He could live out a perfect righteousness and pay the sin debt for all those whom the Father gave Him before the world began.

No. This scripture means you’re wrong.

Ken, there’s nothing wrong with being wrong as such, so long as you realise you are not inline with scripture and then make the scriptural change.

Trust the scripture dude. Jesus Loves you, I love you as believer in Christ. Just flat out trust the Word.

Don’t worry dude. Even if you work for the IRS, just remember Matthew was a tax collector and I’m pretty sure the dude was saved. A whole Gospel was written under his name, it would be totally uncool if he wasn’t saved.
If it’s a sensitive area I’m very sorry mate, I don’t want to upset you about it. In fact forget I mentioned it all.
