Depth of sin

[CleanSoul]

"…if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26-27)

You realize this verse is referring to apostasy, right?

 

[CleanSoul]

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Do you understand what grace does for us? It helps to keep us from sinning.

Didn't Paul say something about, "working out salvation with fear and trembling"? Meaning it can be lost.

 

[Psalm 27]

One cannot receive, what one doesn’t believe...

 

[Psalm 27]

Even so, with The Lord, all things are possible.

 

[Mark Quayle]

One cannot receive, what one doesn’t believe...

I should think that would depend on what one is receiving. Status, a standing, for example, can be given without one even knowing it happened. Grace can be given without the recipient being aware of it.

When God changes spiritual death, the sinful will, into life, why should one demand that God ask permission? When one becomes a receptacle for the Spirit of God, it is not because he understood the terms of a contract, but because God decided to have mercy on him. Grace.

Faith, submission, repentance will follow, engendered by the Spirit of God, and genuine because they come from Him --not because WE are sincere.

The Gospel is the work of God, from first to last. Grace.

 

[Micaiah-Imla]

You realize this verse is referring to apostasy, right?

Hebrews 10:26-27 is plainly warning that if a believer sins willfully after being cleansed by the blood of Christ he will suffer the same consequence of the unbelieving adversaries; the scripture plainly states this without ambiguity and reinforces numerous parables spoken by the Lord during his earthly ministry.

 

[Psalm 27]

When a sinner is entirely sanctified by The Almighty-They know it

Our words are powerful spiritual weapons.

God changed Abram (meaning high exalted father) to Abraham (meaning father of a multitude of nations) Gen 17:5. He did it by inserting the 5TH letter of the Hebrew alphabet H ("Hei") & the symbol for the number 5 = (Grace)

God changed Sarai (meaning my princess) to Sarah (mother of nations) Gen 17:15. He added "H" (Hei = Grace)

After 15 years of silence by God, while Abraham himself tried to make a seed for God. He became too old he GAVE UP.

One yr after God changes thier names, Sarah is with child

Why? Their SPEACH confessions were changed. Every time they or anyone else SPOKE their NAMES. They declared: Abraham Father of a multitude of nations or Sarah mother of nations! SPOKEN words are SEEDS!

Jericho an unconquerable, walled city. Walls 11 feet high, 14 feet wide. The top a smooth stone slope, angling upward at 35 degrees for 35 feet. Its walls were thought to be impenetrable

Joshua 6:2 & 16 says, God had given the city of Jericho to them before they even began to march around its walls

God gives Joshua a two step plan to conquer. Have the people to march "silently" around Jericho for 6 days, & then on the 7th day, to blow trumpets & SHOUT.

On day 7, Before they blow & shout. Joshua Declares via the SPOKEN word: The Lord has this day given you this city. They blow & SHOUT & the walls tumble down

Why " march silently"? So, no complaining/negative WORDS/SPEACH couldn't get in the way

Luke 1:11 & 13 An angel comes to Zacharias & Elisabeth. Telling they will give birth to John the Baptist. Verse 18 Zacharias SPEAKS WORDS of doubt. The angel causes Zac to become dumb until the child born.

Why? To keep Zach's negative WORDS of UNBELIEF from getting in the way!

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the "tongue": and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

If our words aren't powerful seeds. How can they carry LIFE & DEATH? We will LIVE & DIE by what we SAY/SPEAK/BELIEVE!.

We all eat the fruits of our speech. What's on the menu today?

Hey BrotherJJ, first of all, sorry for the late reply. thank you for the message, you have a very interesting point, which i am sure i will think of before i say anything i know i shouldnt.

 

[Psalm 27]

Acts 3:26
...God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
