What I am talking about is an inconsistency in your theology. You have said that our sins are taken care of at the cross. However I John 1:9 tells us that we have to confess our sins to have them forgiven.
So your theology has all of our sins forgiven at the cross when we are first saved and then we have to confess them to have them forgiven again when we actually commit them.
You have a perfect God that has to do something twice. That's just logically impossible. When God forgives it is done with.
Your only explanation to date is that our future sin, when it becomes a reality breaks our relationship with God, which again is impossible in your theology because that sin while it has yet to be comitted has already been forgiven, so once it is committed there is still nothing to break the relationship.
Your theology is flawed in the area of when sins are forgiven and what sins are forgiven at the point of the receiving of everlasting life.
You have a tendancy to see what you want to see. I'm not going to go back through these post to do "your" homework. You go back through them.
But I even remember my quote which said that I was tired of playing your games, but just so that you couldn't falsely accuse me in the future (that obviously didn't work) I gave you Revelation 19:8 to ponder.
And as with everything else you merely wrote it off because of what some "theologian" had to say on the matter despite what the text actually says.
Not to mention the many times I have explained how "works" actually work in the life of a Christian. The question has been answered MANY times and I even answered it for you again, but I don't suppose that will stop you asking and accusing of avoidance will it? :tear:
I see so more of the we have to answer your questions, but it's okay for you to avoid, dodge or refuse to answer mine. Hmmm . . . typical.
Why don't you go to the OT salvation thread that I started and since it is on topic there you can venture an answer.
There is only ONE way to be where the Lord is:
Jhn 14:1 "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
Jhn 14:2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
Jhn 14:3 "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself,
that where I am, {there} you may be also.
Jhn 14:4 "And you know the way where I am going."
Jhn 14:5 Thomas *said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"
Jhn 14:6 Jesus *said to him,
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
You will
not get to the Father except by the righteousness of Christ.
You will
not enter the kingdom except by the righteousness of Christ.
Your works are
not the righteousness of Christ.
Do you not see that by your refusal to answer a simple question of "whose righteousness will gain your entrance to the kingdom", that your entire doctrine falls? You
know that only Christ's righteousness,
apart from works, will bring you into the kingdom, yet you are unwilling to say so.
This is why I say that you ME'rs
deny the power of Christ and delude yourselves into thinking that it is by
your power that you will be with the Lord.
I am still interested in your personal testimony. Was your life changed at salvation?
