Arsenios, one truth you fail to grasp is that I'm not wrong about what he teaches. He teaches works so he will be rewarded, but to show God he loves God or lives his neighbor, so he will be rewarded.
Since you have shown that you will not look for this truth on your own, I've pulled a few examples for you. I've also told you exactly where you came find these, if you care to read more on this matter.
From The GOAL post # 7: "To rely solely 'upon what Jesus has done' will render us a "wicked, lazy servant" who wasted their talents; and their end is "outer darkness." These are not my words, but the very Word and Truth of our Lord and Savior."
From The Goal post # 40: "
"Forgiveness of sins is for those outside the church. Once we've been saved and enlightened, and the Spirit begins to show us our shortcomings, we must repent of them and obey the commands of God given through Jesus Christ.
There is no 'eternal state of forgiveness' that we enter into. As Peter wrote, we must DO the things commanded and ADD to our faith. If we don't we've forgotten that we were forgiven of our "past sins." Paul says grace will not cover continued sin, and the writer of Hebrews warns that willful known sins we commit after we have been 'saved' will bring only destruction upon us.
Modern preaching has made it seem as though God is begging us to 'accept His Son', so He can forgive us eternally, somehow not see our sins anymore, and then bring us into the spirit realm when we die, even if we have not been obedient.
And this obedience is to the commandments of Christ. “If you love Me, keep My commandments." (John 14:15). And for the record, there is no command to 'accept Christ' as I have heard preached, which is not Bible. No, the commandments are the Eternal Moral Law of God, the "Law of the Spirit of Life" that we must live by if we are to be truly "conformed to the image of the Son" and be raised to "sit with Him on His Throne" in that Day to govern the nations of the earth.
Again... that IS the GOAL! To become "one with Christ Jesus as He is One with the Father." (John 17:21)
Oh glory! May we let no man "steal our crown" and rob us of our inheritance by the preaching of "another gospel" that prevents the necessary repentance, obedience and transformation that the Scripture teaches and sets forth as the great plan & purpose of God.
Peace & Blessings to all!"
From The GOAL post # 43: "Oh Yes indeed, the GOAL set before the Elect is to be actually "conformed in to the image of the Son of God." Ain't gonna happen if we allow sin to remain in our lives and somehow expect Jesus to repent for us."
From WORTHY post # 16: "Many hear from the pulpits today that we have all the promises of God because of what Jesus has done. No. Jesus did HIS part, we must do OURS if we are to become His "co-heirs" of Creation and inherit the nations.
And sadly, so many reject Jesus' teaching on overcoming, and risk missing out on their inheritance. Even if we must walk alone, we must abide by what the Word says and not man."
From WORTHY post # 16: You told this lie and made insinuations that are not Christ-like. "You said he claims these actions EARN Salvation...
You made this claim...
Man up and back it up...
Where does he say God is obligated to Save us because of what we do?
Until you show that, you are not being truthful..."
Did you ask me if this is what I believed or even did? No. You drew conclusions, erroneous as they were, based upon what you read, the same as I've done. Michael also keeps stating that "there are people in this for who believe they can sin all they want and not need to repent, because Jesus did it all." No one has said that, but you're not taking issue with that. You're also not chasing after Michael to affirm with us that we actually teach what he claims we believe. You're playing favorites.
Add far as you're concerned, Michael can do no wrong and I can do no right, even though no one else is required to affirm with anyone else what they actually believe. So you will stop posting to me as you have not said you're sorry for what you've done, you made accusations before you had all the facts. You insinuated I wasn't a man if I didn't jump through your hoops to your satisfaction. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you've repented. If you wish to have me respond to anything you write, it will be when I decide to let you. When you've shown that you actually are sorry and are capable of being civil, instead of his you've behaved in this exchange.
