INCOMING (3):
>>1646004Every verse about SIN is in the Scripture to show every human who ever lived, that they CANNOT earn salvation by good works. /
Very TRUE.
>>1646004%%%%% ALL FALSE RELIGIONS CONTAIN A REQUIREMENT of good works%%%%%%%% /
Again, Very TRUE.
The scriptural reality is that ALL good works transpire with evil present remaining within us ALL. It's not a "one or the other" situation. Paul was clear about this in Romans 7, particularly vs. 21. Paul also shows us in vs. 25 that his flesh still served the "law of sin." What does this mean? It means that when the law arrives, sin resists, internally, as shown in vs. 7-13. This fact does not change for anyone including believers. It's a fact we live with each day, "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt. 6:24
Everyone deals with this internal onslaught from evil present within us. Believers know (supposedly) that the source of this is our adversary(s), unseen. Therefore we "alienate" ourselves from "it." But to say this isn't true, that we do deal with evil onslaught internally, makes us liars and pawns of evil, and we deceive ourselves.
No amount of "good works" will make anyone sinless or defray from the fact of evil's internal resisting to the law actions-presence, "in mind." Static or active presence, it's still there within.
The only factor is our personal honesty about it, which can only come from enlightenment about it from His Words. The Word doesn't lie to us about this fact, it "exposes" it. When we "hide" from this fact we are only kidding ourselves.
Now ask me how easy it is to go headlong into evil, such as we see with many of our so called leaders, both sectarian and religious. The majority don't even know of this "alien internal presence" of EVIL. They think "it's only me." And from there just about any evil becomes "personally justified" and full on pawns of evil are spawned therein.
>>1646004 It also shows the Chosen People ( the ELECT ) that they are also accountable to the Law…point is this: If Jesus / God had not CHOSEN people from within time and space to die for as a payment for their inherited Adamic and current sins, there would be ZERO believers in the after life. We cannot believe in our current sinful fallen state without GOD first intervening and giving us the Ability to believe, some say "i said the sinners prayer, and i remember when i got saved" well actually if they were really saved, it was at the cross 2018 years ago, and they are NOW simply awakening to the fact of their fallen nature, and their strange desire to seek out God and His truth, a good indication they were saved at the cross… /
Again, very TRUE. Not withstanding all of the above in any cases of sight. Was 'evil present' born again? Did evil present become suddenly cooperative to the law? No. It's not possible, nor was it, ever, possible. Sin/evil present is always in contention within everyone. This is what we observe in the REAL WORLD with our own eyes every single day.
Is it all then only evil? No. Of course there is likewise good in ALL. It is disingenuous to lean one way or the other. The fact is there is always BOTH transpiring. When we seek to paint ourselves only one way, we are stepping out of the light and into denial of the obvious.
>>1646004 be Fruit Inspectors. Do you see any proof of goodness in your life that keeps you from sin? it is God working his Holy Spirit inside your core being, because maybe you are one of the ELECT. I cannot judge you, NO MAN can tell you that you are saved or unsaved…. /
No amount of "good works" should cause anyone to think of themselves as only good. That is the heart of deception. Jesus was clear about this:
Luke 17:10
So likewise ye, >when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you<, say, >>We are unprofitable servants:<< we have done that which was our duty to do.
Why do we say/see this? See the above facts.
>>1646004 LISTEN TO THAT AGAIN….. NO MAN CAN TELL YOU YOU ARE SAVED OR NOT, /
I prefer to see all people as they are. Both good and evil. I also believe God is the Savior of all people, but not the Savior of evil/devils. In this present life these parties in "overlapped." Love one, hate the other. Personally apply both sights.
