    Passive Righteousness

    The big confusion you have and I see it in others as well is not understanding that "Passive Righteousness" is not saying you are passive as a believer. You still confuse justification with sanctification. We cannot confess our sins and want forgiveness without first God giving us faith in...

    Passive Righteousness

    I recall Jesus going to a Jewish festival where the Jews believed in the coming Messiah. He then asked someone if he wanted healing from his affliction. He didn't say do you want to ask me into your heart. He healed the person of his affliction. The person trusted in the coming of the Messiah so...

    How to get rid of stuff?

    I don't think my Amish neighbors want my stuff :D LOL So I can't put it out on the curb although when we first moved in, on the next street over we saw someone put out a tv and it was there for well over a year!!!

    Passive Righteousness

    Back to my opening post where I quoted this.. "Passive righteousness is the vertical relationship between God and man. God does the work. The only contribution that man brings into this equation is sin. This is a righteousness that is alien; it is completely outside of ourselves." The...

    Passive Righteousness

    How can you ever believe and trust in Jesus and the forgiveness of sins without faith first being given to you by God? You can't. You say it isn't forced upon you. But yet, God goes and does something to you without your permission so you can have eternal life. He opens your ears. He opens...

    Passive Righteousness

    Could we please stick to the topic and stop reaching into Sanctification? That's not what this thread is about and there are way too many pages from members going astray into that area.

    Passive Righteousness

    That's Law talk. But the Gospel says that our sins ARE forgiven. Gospel trumps law.

    Passive Righteousness

    No we can't force anyone to hear. Only if God opens them up to hearing and sometimes it just is not the right time. I certainly wish that sanctification would stop from being brought into this thread.

    Passive Righteousness

    All my sins were forgiven at the cross. Don't you believe that yours are too? Even your future ones? Jesus died before I was born. All my sins were there at the cross. I have faith in that forgiveness of sins.

    God enables. That's passively receiving what God gives.

    Passive Righteousness

    Being freed from sin is not what we do for ourselves. That's the topic of this thread. Our works after is sanctification and NOT what this thread is about.

    Passive Righteousness

    They rejected but they didn't choose to be there. He chose them and they were with Him instantly. No one can believe unless the Lord enables him.

    Passive Righteousness

    You cannot confess your sins to the one true God unless you were first given faith to believe in Him. That's God's work in you and you didn't do anything but receive it. No one can ask for a sin to be forgiven by God unless they trust in Him. That trust is faith. We are saved by grace through...

    You're not talking about the topic. You're trying to bring sanctification into this thread and it doesn't belong.

    Passive Righteousness

    Thank you, Josiah. YES there is way too much confusion when people keep bringing up sanctification. Please take note that this thread is NOT about sanctification.

    Passive Righteousness

    Where does scripture say Jesus gets on the cross again to forgive your sins?
  17. Lamb

    Passive Righteousness

    That's because sins were forgiven at the cross. Paul preached it, you're right!! Because it's true. Not everyone benefits from that forgiveness that Jesus won at the cross. We benefit by grace through faith that God gives to us. Those that reject, when they die, will not receive the forgiveness...

    You're bringing up sanctification and that's an entirely different topic than Passive Righteousness.

    Passive Righteousness

    You didn't turn to God in repentance as an unbeliever. You might have had sorrow for your sins but that's not the entire gist of what repentance is. Repentance is about turning to God in faith.

    Passive Righteousness

    That deals with our sanctification and that's an entirely different topic from Passive Righteousness.
