Does God Need Your Permission in Order to Save You?

[Sabertooth]

Is "surrender" the same thing as "permission?"

 

[jahel]

Exactly.

Get that in writing TCB and make sure it aligns with scripture!!

Nah.

I'm glad we agree that I'm not God.

We still cooperate in our salvation though.

I know: god is your co-pilot.

It's hard to say right now but second quarter of 2021 is what I keep hearing.

It's a simple question, which requires a simple, Yes or No, answer.

The question assumes there is a yes or no answer. It's not that simple. It's no, he doesn't, but yes, he requires it.

 

[renniks]

Then you are god.

Does not compute. God could require us to stand on our heads to be saved. Would that make us god if we obeyed?

Put me down as Yes.

All the "whosoever will" I read in scripture tells me I must meet His condition.

Looks like he needs my permission to me!

Synergism.

Your will trumps God's will. If you say so.

 

[jahel]

Permission is granted in turning to Him away from idols apparently. Whether that be the world, satan or self.

 

[friend of]

I don't think we will ever tire of having this debate! Hahah

 

[friend of]

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus.

Or don't pick up your cross. That is your decision to make.

 

[jimmyjimmy]

Synergism.

Are you saying that He needs your permission — and your help?

 

[jimmyjimmy]

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus.

Or don't pick up your cross. That is your decision to make.

Is that the gospel?

 

[friend of]

Is that the gospel?

It's in the gospel and spoken by Christ

Matthew 16:24 and Luke 9:23 and Mark 8:34

That's a silly way to look at it, a play on words!

It's more like our will meets His will when we meet His condition.
