Hi Nick.
,…Who saves us with a holy calling, not in accord with our acts, but in accord with His own purpose and grace which is given to us in Christ Jesus before times eonian, (2Tim.1:9). There is NOTHING we can do, all is of God. The Jews couldn't do it, so why do some still think they are under the law and try keeping it as Jesus instructed the Jews?Blessings.
Blessings.
Hi CO,
You stand at the gate of Christ sending people away.
You are a soothsayer who says none need to be saved beacuse we are all already saved.
You should keep quiet lest you be found later with a millstone secured around your neck for the ones you caused to be lost.
Salvation is not by our works but by the grace of God drawing us through faith in the gospel of Christ to enter through that gate.
It is a gate open to all.
Do not deceive.
All have sinned and need to find righteousness in him.Hi Nick.
Those are strong accusations Nick, and quite hurtfull. I would like you to refer to me any post from any thread that you feel justifies this accusation. You say that I said ” I am a soothsayer who says none need to be saved because they are already saved.” This of course is untrue, I have said “All WILL be saved through Christ Jesus, who has justified us through His death and ressurrection. Scripture says… “that we rely on the living God, Who is the saviour of all mankind, especially believers.” (1Tim.4:9-11)Blessings.
Blessings.
Hi CO,
The gospel first given to Nicodemus is also for the repentant Jews and Gentiles.
No new gospels exist even from the disciples.

Hi Nick.
Your hurtfull accusations contain no truth, you ignored my last post.Blessings.
Hi co,
“Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
Is this in your gospel?Hi Nick.
Paul then does away with their idols, leaving nothing of their religion but the unknown God, Who knows their ignorance and bears with it, but now charges them to change their minds in view of future judgment, which is assured by the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Paul wisely begins the evangel to them by announcing the resurrection, for it alone could dispel the error of their philosophies and bring them to a realization of the necessity for a Saviour.Blessings.
PS. You ignored my last post regarding those hurtfull accusations of yours.
Hi CO,
All plants not planted by God will be pulled out.Indeed all need a saviour.
All must repent and be baptised for the forgiveness of sins and then they will receive the Holy Spirit.
The one gospel given to the jews is also for all men.
All must repent.Nick.
“for the forgivness of sins?”. What did Jesus die for, if not to forgive our sins? You treat our Saviours sacrafice very lightly! Shame on you.Blessings.

Well the Messiah has conquer the curse of Dearth .We all can have life now.He also has undone what Adam did.(Spiritualy)..Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin ; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
This is what Jesus had todo is undo what Adam did..God told Adam that on the day he ate of the fruit of the tree he would surely die.
Well he ate it but he didnt die Physical he died Spiritualy.1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
So the fallen nature of man is spiritual death. Man being born of Adam has a living body, a living soul, and a dead spirit. All born dead in Adam.
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all , then were all dead..
This is why the Messiah said we must be BORN AGAIN…
In Messiah we are no longer Sons of Adam, we have become the sons of God.
Hi U,
You say about Adam.“Well he ate it but he didnt die Physical he died Spiritualy.”
This is a popular idea but no one seems to be able to explain or justify it.
He was never of the Spirit of God only the breath.
He did not lose his hu,man spirit or would have dropped dead.
He did die that day
He died within 1000 years.
2Peter 3
“8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. “this (yhwh)in exidus verse15 can not be Gods name ,must have been changed because his real name is to special.they must have writen this as they write LORD every where now.read ex 6:3,the name in this verse must have been changed for it is clear that abraham knew God as (yhwh).the only name abram dident know God by is (I AM),so this must truly be his memorial name forever,not (YHWH). this is the key God has given that leads to life eternal.
Our Saviour, God, saves us, “not for works which are wrought in righteousness which we do, but according to His mercy” (Titus 3:5). He does so, “through Jesus Christ, our Saviour, that, being justified in that One’s grace, we may be becoming enjoyers, in expectation, of the allotment of life eonian” (Titus 3:6,7).
We learn from Romans 4:5, concerning those who are believing, that God “is justifying the irreverent,” those who are “not working.” Likewise, we recognize that all those who are “called” become believers, for the Lord graciously “overwhelms” their unbelief with “faith and love in Christ Jesus” (1 Tim.1:14; cp v.16). Thus, “to those who are called, . . . Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Cor.1:24). Now those “whom He calls, He justifies also; now whom He justifies, these He glorifies also” (Rom.8:30).
How wonderful! Even though we have yet to grasp what it means to be “justified,” we have already learned that (1) Our calling itself entails the certainty of God’s gracious gift of faith to us; (2) God “justifies” us even though we are are irreverent and are not working righteousness; (3) Being now justified in Christ’s blood, we shall be saved from indignation, through Him (Rom. 5:9); and (4) Eonian life and glory is our happy expectation.Blessings.
Hi CO,
God's blessed teachings given through Paul to the saved are not for the heathens.
Seek ye first the kingdom and everything will be added to you.
All are not saved according to what God has revealed.We are termed “justified”, do we still have to “repent”? Now, from this grand perspective, let us seek to grasp the scriptural essence of the Greek verb dikaioõ, which, in English, is “justify.” First of all, let us note that the English adjective “just” (in Greek, dikaion) is the equivalent of the adjective “righteous,” which means, “to be conformed to right.” “Justify” is merely the verb corresponding to the adjective “just” or “right.” While there is no English verb which formally corresponds to the adjective “righteous,” nevertheless, the verb “justify” corresponds substantially to the adjective “righteous,” even as it is the formal correspondent of the adjective “just.”
“Justify” is used definitively, and very strikingly, in Luke 7. Jesus declared, “ ‘A greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the baptist, there is not one. Yet the smaller, in the kingdom of God is greater than he.’ And hearing, the entire people, even the tribute collectors, justify God, being baptized with the baptism of John” (Luke 7:28,29).
The entire people, “righteoused” God. That is, they declared Him to be righteous. Thus we see that “justification” is a pronouncement of righteousness. “Righteousness” is “the quality or state of being righteous, the status of one who is justified.” 1
Consequently, we learn that, as those who are “justified,” our status is that of, in some sense, actually being righteous. Thus, whenever we read of or reflect upon the fact that we are “justified,” let our conception be that we are “declared righteous,” and that by God Himself. No, we do not need to repent.Blessings.
