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

    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.

    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.

    Where does scripture say Jesus gets on the cross again to forgive your sins?
  11. 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.

    No. I think you aren't understanding what point I was making. An unbeliever finds the message of the cross to be foolishness. It's in scripture in more than one spot. He doesn't believe it when He hears it.

    Passive Righteousness

    Then you were fortunate enough to instantly be given faith after hearing one time. Some hear over and over and still reject God. Some receive faith and then turn to the world and then reject Him because they prefer the world and to try to work their way to heaven.

    Passive Righteousness

    One dead in sin (an unbeliever) doesn't believe in God so the Gospel is foolishness (I gave the scripture already and it's in more than one location in the bible). So, no, one dead in sin would never hope in the Lord. Only by faith could one turn to the Lord and have hope. That's God's work in...

    It's the Lord who opens our ears and our eyes so we can hear and see.

    Where does forgiveness come from though? Isn't it from the cross where Jesus died?

    God never gives you more than you can handle

    It's a twist because God does give us more than we can handle...some people even die because it's too much to handle.
