    Christ's own words: Luke 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger! We need to hit bottom, in order to come to ourselves... Blessed are the poor in Spirit... Arsenios

    This holds great promise! :) That was me... My hand shot up! Absolutely me... Mercy was an affront to justice I say! He was merely powerless and mentally ill - His ilk I was seeing on the streets daily... I KNEW he didn't... Man is the supreme being on earth, not some...

    Justification

    That is also true - We become set in our evil ways and God then can grant us the repentance we need... This Faith is a vast Mystery... And when God does grant repentance, then after one has become accustomed to that repentance God has granted, then the granting will be withdrawn, and you will...

    Amen - ONLY God CAN give God because only God has God to give... Amen - Jesus IS the Door AND the Heaven AND the Salvation of man... Indeed Jesus is found in MANY helpers... We ourselves add nothing to our Salvation in Christ... Repentance merely "makes straight the Way" within us...

    Justification

    I would sure want to think so, but it seems to be ruled out if we are morturary stone cold dead and then all we can do is wait for God to do something that Justifies us so we can then hear and believe and follow... That is the problem with the "total depravity" theory... Arsenios

    Justification

    That is my answer too ... Man does 100% of repentance... God does 100% of Salvation... Fallen man is ABLE to repent from evil... Fallen man is ABLE to embrace evil... That is simply the consequence of the Fall of Adam... Adam ate of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good AND evil... For...

    Forgive me, I thought I was speaking to Josiah, and not to "us"... Should have been a PM... I forgot momentarily that you might even be reading that post...
