You mean God's elect were enemies to God but not under wrath?
This sounds even more confusing. In what way were they seen by God as enemies then?
"To be an enemy of God means be under God's wrath. If you are reconciled to God you are not an enemy anymore, thus not under wrath or condemnation."
Scripture is right, your interpretation of Scripture is wrong.Im right because the scripture is right. Sinners who Christ died for are'nt condemned while they are unbelieving enemies, because they are reconciled to God. Rom 5:10
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
You deny the Truth, those whom Christ died for are reconciled to God by His death, while they are enemies."To be an enemy of God means be under God's wrath. If you are reconciled to God you are not an enemy anymore, thus not under wrath or condemnation."
This is to me the very obvious teaching of Scripture. I don't think you can get around that.
Im right since Im testifying to scripture.Scripture is right, your interpretation of Scripture is wrong.
Christ died for all sinners, not just the ones that will be saved.
All sinners are condemned if they do not believe in Jesus.
Only those who believe in Jesus will be saved.
Being reconciled to God is not the same as being saved and forgiven by God.
No, I affirm that they were enemies while being reconciled through his death, so they were no longer enemies.You deny the Truth, those whom Christ died for are reconciled to God by His death, while they are enemies.
Your are right because you say you are right?????Im right since Im testifying to scripture.
None of that is the basis of our being reconciled to God.Hi…..new to Christianity in so much as :-
>Asked for forgiveness, absolute heartfelt forgiveness
>Repentance of all sinful behaviours of the flesh, heart and mind, completely changed my behaviours now aligned to Jesus
>Read Gods word daily
>Attend church with like minded people
>pray daily
>love daily
>Do good works (no matter how small or big) daily
>Talk openly about Jesus and his work/my testimony
>Have Faith that God will guide me
Reading this thread has been interesting and somewhat confusing but am I off the mark in saying that the above is the basis of reconciliation with God?
Thank you, so we are already reconciled?None of that is the basis of our being reconciled to God.
Only the death of Christ and His resurrection could bring about our reconciliation.
And the benefit of that reconciliation (being adopted as sons and spending eternity in Heaven with God) is received through faith in Christ.
Rom 5:8-11 - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."Thank you, so we are already reconciled?
Being reconciled to God is not the same as being saved and forgiven by God.
If Christ died for you, yes. But He didnt die for everyoneThank you, so we are already reconciled?
That is what I'm saying. And after they had been reconciled they were no longer enemies.
That is a LIE! We have already exposed it with very clear Scripture.If Christ died for you, yes. But He didnt die for everyone
No its the truth, because everyone isnt reconciled to God.That is a LIE! We have already exposed it with very clear Scripture.
"and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2
Speak truth or shut up!
I know it can get frustrating, but try to keep it friendly. After all we are supposed to be brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless!That is a LIE! We have already exposed it with very clear Scripture.
"and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2
Speak truth or shut up!
I find this forum sometimes highly confusing, I thought Christ died for all…..? Look at my signature?If Christ died for you, yes. But He didnt die for everyone
