The truth in spite of false accusations.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
(Eph 2:8-9, NKJV)

1Jn 5:13(13-15) These things I write to you in order that you may know with
an absolute knowledge that life you are having, eternal life, to you who
believe on the Name of the Son of God. And this is the assurance which we are
having toward Him, that if we keep on asking anything for ourselves,
according to His will, He hears us. And if we know with an absolute knowledge
that He hears us, whatever we are asking for ourselves, we know with an
absolute knowledge that we have the things which we have asked from Him.

I agree with you on this 100%. Also, the bible tells us so:

"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith OF Jesus Christ unto
all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference ..."

Because of His Faith, we are able to believe by and through Him.

It is written that the faith of Jesus saved us. Not that our faith saved
us. Jesus even told the Apostles that if they even had a mustard seed of
faith they could slam dunk mountains. It was a way of saying that their
own faith didn't amount to much.

The faith OF Jesus is the real power. His faith, not ours. I still
haven't worked up a whole mustard seed of it yet. You'll know when I do
because I'll be doing some landscaping with Mount Everest. ;)

:-).

That is right.

But man wants some glory, "MY" faith.

The can't see the fine distinction because they want a portion of glory
for themselves.

But God does not share His glory.

Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give
to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Imagine a mere man seeking any glory for himself, ridiculous. Job: I
repent in dust and ashes.

saved, and thy house.

Act 19:4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,

after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Rom 4:24But for us also, to whom it

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.” (Heb 11:6, KJV)

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” (1Th 4:14, KJV)

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by

Therefore, on behalf of Christ and in His place we are acting as ambassadors,
as though God were saying, I beg of you, please, through us as His
intermediate agents. We beg you in Christ's stead, Be reconciled at once to
God. He who did not know sin in an experiential way, on behalf of us and
instead of us, was made sin, in order that, as for us, we might become a
righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor 5:20-21

Ted, these are some of the core teachings of God, in these you see there is a
requirement of men to do something, namely exercise faith. And I would bet
that you are familiar with the verse which speaks to faith as a gift of God
to believe, and that not of ourselves.

Yes, Jesus died for mankind, and in so doing he had placed upon him ALL the
sins of Mankind. From Adam unto the last man standing on earth. IOWs he alone
paid for all of your sins and mine. Jesus paid the price so that the curse of
the Law of Sin and Death would be paid for, in-total, yet that does not make
anyone the righteousness of God, it also does not make us all born again, and
that is easily seen with all the wickedness, evil, and the ways of sin and
the lust of the flesh in action world wide.

It is the Job of the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sin, or make us aware
of our sins. It is our job to listen and then do what scripture says to do.

I would very highly recommend honesty in the lives of men, and a bit of
humility due to recognizing that God is God, and we are a much lower life
form at this present time. And by so doing we can read and study the Bible to
satisfy ones curiosity and ask God, "What does this mean" as we read. And
expect an answer. God has no problem speaking, it is us that is hard of
hearing.

Yes, Jesus died that we might be made free to receive all that he has for us,
blessings in all things.

But like the titanic. When one is tossed into the sea, when a life saver is
thrown to save us, we must grasp it and grasp it hard. Otherwise it does us
no good.

...so much for your belief that did it.
We are given the ability to believe, and we can, but if you believe

that

YOUR belief will save you. All you are doing is displaying pride,

mere acceptance of yourself, belief in yourself, which is not

belief in

God at all.

Excellent point, Mike. If you accept the core Christian teaching,
that Christ died to save us, then that surely supersedes any personal
interpretations of scriptural passages.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.” (Heb 11:6, KJV)
“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” (1Th 4:14, KJV)
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Therefore, on behalf of Christ and in His place we are acting as ambassadors,
as though God were saying, I beg of you, please, through us as His
intermediate agents. We beg you in Christ's stead, Be reconciled at once to
God. He who did not know sin in an experiential way, on behalf of us and
instead of us, was made sin, in order that, as for us, we might become a
righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor 5:20-21

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were

Some of us have got it, and some haven't. However, it does help if you
carry around a visual phylactery.

--
Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"The Bible cannot baptize. No one was ever saved by reading the Bible.
Mechanical or methodical salvation is just more Pharisee bureaucracy.
Men are saved after their conviction, death sentence, and resurrection
in baptism--the baptism of the Holy Spirit." - Nightbulb

I know he applies less, and often no weight whatsoever, as his words rule.

Anyone who purports to value God the Father and His son Jesus, desires the

Jesus threw out the life saver to the unworthy the lost, not the righteous.

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Luk 5:32,

For this reason I depend on the word of God to support His teachings and His
way of salvation.

Especially to support the fact that the saving grace of God extends to all,
even the believer who may slip and fall. For that reason Jesus is our lawyer
in heaven, who not only forgives but tells His Heavenly Father that our sin
is covered under his blood.

According to Michael one sin causes a believer to lose salvation, which is
not supported in scripture.

I am struggling at this point with severing all ties with him as well as aa,

True, and the Lord Jesus did. There is no one who is more worthy of His

The Roberts are worthy because of what THEY have done. Like what was

"I am better than him." All those prostitutes, homosexuals, and thieves
out there!!! Scum!!! :-).

And the irony is, my posts include them there 'yet sinners' over yonder,
whereas they exclude me to my face. :-).

As for the rest the liar says, it is just twisted crap a la Robert whose
