Your gues is quite incorrect. I was speaking in reference to the passive voice of the Greek language. It means the action is produced from an outside source; iow, not your own action. Like salvation.
So it is a forced faith, a forced belief, and a forced salvation.
I can't agree.
The active voice means the action is produced by yourself. I hope you are clear now.
I know that I wasn't forced to love God above all else and love my neighbor as I love myself.
Of course your doctrine sorrowfully dispenses with that all together.
Let's not make up phony words and phrases to advance your own opinions. Let's just stay with what the Bible says and the words it uses.
Where is the verse that says that you can "permanently repent of ALL sin"? You've never proven that.
The definition of "repent" that I use, from the Strong's Concordance is "Turn from", or, "Change".
If you turn from sin it must be 100%, or it is just a partial "turn" or "change".
In fact, i've shared many verses that prove the opposite. That believers STILL have their original sinful nature, and are not only capable of sin, but STILL sin. But you have "actively chosen" to ignore all those verses and opine that you no longer have a sinful nature and no longer are able to sin. Totally unbiblical.
You proved nothing. You just keep saying the same wrong thing over and over again with a false belief it is true.
2 Cr 5:17 says..."Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature:
old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new".
That includes nature.
I understand that you do not understand what "crucify the flesh" even means.
As Romans 6;3-7 describes how it happens, and the results of it happening, I understand it perfectly.
Especially after seeing the verse 7 results in my own life...thanks be to God.
We are commanded to love the brethren PRECISELY because we don't naturally do that. If your theories and opinions were true, there would be no need for any such command. It would be automatic.
But apparently this obvious fact has eluded you.
Why would we be commanded to do something that doesn't matter, as we already have salvation locked up no matter what or who we obey? (According to your doctrine)
Not everyone reading scripture has been reborn; and Jesus', Paul"s, Peter's, John's, and James' commands allow them to see the expected way reborn, repentant, lovers of God are to act.
You have trouble with commandments because it doesn't mesh with your "passive" doctrine of "God does it all for us".
He is no respector of persons.
If we disobey Him, we perish.
