It's what you spoke about and emphasized. I understand you to believe the Christian is obligated to the law. I post bout salvation, redemption and eternal life. I believe you think the Christian will appear in the judgment. The verse says we've already passed it.What do you believe that John 5:24 teaches that is different than what I shared in the matters of the "heareth" and "believeth"? Are these not a continual action with a beginning, rather than merely a one time off event?
This is a change from your prior post. It's also a change of subject.The verse speaks of assurance, as it is in Christ Jesus. However, that assurance does not take away my freedom to walk away. This was the point I was attempting to get across. It is paralleled in Romans 8:31-39 KJB.
I believe in an omnipotent, omnipresent and all knowing God.I do not hear "despair", nor "condemnation". I clearly showed that the text speaks of the "believing" Christian, will not come into "condmenation", which is ultimately the second death. That is the assurance.
However, it does not take away from the facts that all persons, will be judged by God, as the texts cited show. I do not need to make up any theologies in this. And since those texts are as valid as John 5:24 KJB, then they are to be studied together.
Most people have a wrong understanding of the Investigative Judgment. Is it an awesome and most serious thing? Absolutely, but it doesn't take away the assurance in Christ, nor the promises. It merely allows for the testing of the faith, and all faith must be tested, for there are true and false professing persons. If the faith is genuine, what unnecessary fear?
You preach salvation by obedience which bottom line is motivated by fear.1 John 4:18 KJB - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.If the faith were not so tested, sin could end up in Heaven all over again.
In-other-words one only has this right if the observe the ten commandments. I just do not buy that because it would be salvation by works (self justification by the law), not faith. You can say all you want to that grace or the Holy Spirit enables one to keep the law. The invitation has been extended for years to name anyone save Jesus having accomplished this incredible feat. So far I've never seen anyone's name. First and last name is required. If you want to say their sins will be remembered no more, you basically void the law.It will not be a matter of "tried". It is a matter of walking by the promises of God [New Covenant, "I will ...", thus the just living by faith, and so doing according to that "faith of Jesus". God brings those who will believe to completion, as He is the Author and the Finisher.
Revelation 22:14 KJB - Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
What happened to the law? Isn't what you're doing called dualism of conflicting concepts?Jesus Christ is the spiritual Tree of Life, notice:
John 6:57 KJB - As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Eating the words of Jesus, brings spiritual life. It is not a one time 'eating' and 'drinking'. It must be a 'daily' 'eating' and 'drinking' in His presence. It, again, is a continual ongoing, and even eternal, faith that must be alive.
Consider this about the word door:Yes, Jesus is the door [which is sanctuary language], and in Him is no sin [1 John 3:4 KJB]. See the condition? We must allow Him to cleanse us from "all unrighteousness" -- of every last sin, and tht includes transgression of HIs 4th Commandment in regards the 7th day the Sabbath of the LORD [Exodus 20:8-11 KJB]. If I may share a bit more on this door, as Paul mentions something very important:
There is a "door of faith":
Acts 14:27 KJB - And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
- used of any opening like a door, an entrance, way or passage into
- in a parable or metaphor
- the door through which sheep go in and out, the name of him who brings salvation to those who follow his guidance
- "an open door" is used of the opportunity of doing something
- the door of the kingdom of heaven (likened to a palace) denotes the conditions which must be complied with in order to be received into the kingdom of God
- the door through which sheep go in and out, the name of him who brings salvation to those who follow his guidance
Who is doing the knocking in your verse? No I'm not trying to invalidate you other verse about seeking and knocking.How does one have this "door" opened? Natural to spiritual. We "knock", through asking, by Prayer, to God:
Matthew 7:7 KJB - Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Luke 11:9 KJB - And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Now, notice the door of the human heart, does Jesus have Faith when He calls unto us? Doesn't He continually knock? Every knock is in Faith.
Revelation 3:20 KJB - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
They aren't the only ones with eye problems.Laodicea, is interesting, in that since Jesus is outside, and He is the light, where then is the darkness? How then an a person see to open the door when the Light is outside? Notice that Laodicea has eye problems, and notice the counterfeit "light":
About the rest of your post: I don't need the SDA clap trap, therefore it is deleted.
