    Hi,
    The Body of Christ is enlivened by, and the sons of God are led by, the Spirit of Christ.

    Rom 8
    “8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

    9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

    10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

    11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

    12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

    13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

    14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

    Hi,
    Those of the world cannot discern the body of Christ. They only see the diverse denominational religions which give Christ a bad name and think they are relevant to God.

    2 Peter 2:2
    Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

    Hi,
    The body of Christ is enlivened by the Spirit of God.
    The fruit of the mouth is spiritual wisdom-the living Word of God.
    If the fruit is logic and speculative opinion then men should check themselves

    …that the purpose of God may be remaining as a choice, not out of acts, but of Him Who is calling,

    Hi,
    Romans 9:11
    for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,

    God chooses.
    He calls all but few are chosen.
    Just a remnant among the Jewish people.

    Romans 11:5
    In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

    Grace
    Jeremiah 31:2
    Thus says the LORD,”The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness–Israel, when it went to find its rest.”

    Grace is accessible for us now in Jesus by whom grace and peace comes.
    But the Saviour remains neglected by those of the world.

    Nick.
    Again, the scripture you quote: Ro.9:11. …but because of Him who calls.

    Also Ro.11:5. …according to Gods gracious choice. And you still think that WE have the choice.

    Even you quote scripture that disagrees with yourself.

    Blessings.

    Hi CO,
    Scripture does agree but forced doctrinal ideas often meet confusion.

    Please brother Nick, you are misunderstanding our brother Choseone, there is no forced doctrine only you seem to infer from what he is quoting. Please see the scriptures he is quoting not any human logic here.
    Sorry to bother you

    Hi GM,
    Did you not choose to follow Jesus?
    Can you remember the moment when you knew it was right?

    Were you aware of being forced or did God just provide you with an opportunity and gave you light and you knew and submitted to the truth of the gospel?

    Being led by the Spirit of God is not forcing I don't know why you are repeatedly quoting it.
    Thanks

    Thanks Adam, I know we must be patient with Nick, he will not listen to scripture, just his own gospel. “the eternal gospel for all” which has no biblical origin, just false teaching.

    Blessing.

    Hi,
    The Word of God as the gospel of God, spoken first by Jesus to the jewish people, has been planted since by his servants such that a crop for God is shining all over the earth. They will be more visible yet when the angels remove the tares.

    Nick…..The servant of God do not plant the seed they cast it out into the field, but the Good soil is the soil God prepared before hand and they recieve the seed into good soil, which God has prepared. For whom He foreknew He also predestined to become sons and daughters. Jesus said to his deciples blessed are you for it has not been given to them to know the things of the kingdom, but unto you it has been (GIVEN). It is God's work from start to finish.

    Hi GB,

    Hi GB,
    The passengers on the predestination train are only known at the end of the long journey.
    Making assumptions about all beginning, or all who do begin staying there, are unwise.
    God knows the end from the beginning but getting off is also possible enroute.
    Man has no clue and needs to work out his salvation in fear and trembling

    Hi,
    Some seem to think the reconciliation wrought by Christ applies to all men and not those who are reborn into him. Not all men are yet one with God despite the power of the gospel. Some never will see the light being blinded by the god of this world.

    Some even go beyond and preach against the gospel of the kingdom as if that would please the vine or the Gardener. They preach another Jesus, one who is just an equal brother and not our appointed Lord or Teacher or the Vine.

    2Cor 11
    4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

    Hi,
    So georg believes that Jesus raised the sleeping saints in 1900 and is meeting them in the air educating them while the living saints are yet to join them. Seems an odd thought to divide the unified body of Christ for so long when they act as one. No such separate education period is described in Scripture.

    I think he is deceived on this matter and it is not the first time in history that alarmists have done this.

    Nick………… And making assumptions about who is not on the train is even worse right. Here is something you might think about, every grain of Wheat has Chaff around it as it matures and the Chaff is only separated after the Harvest. Think about that, instead of condemning People, you yourself may have Chaff on you yet, that will need to be stripped away and tossed into the Fire. He who points his figure at another has three pointing back at him. IMO

    love and peace……………………………….gene
