God SWORE an oath to save ALL of mankind!

[Israel]

Israel



That's a mighty big "IF" and contrary to the Word. The Word teaches that the lost sinner, is a child of wrath and WITHOUT God. Hence, the Kingdom of God is NOT in the sinner. To be in the Kingdom, one must be born again, via receiving Christ.

The sinner IS lost. And it is for this reason the man of sin must be destroyed.

Acts 2:39

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.



Ephesians 2:11-19

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Do you even know what being Born again means? and what you have to do to be Born again? You have shown a talent of copying and pasting scriptures but are ignorant of their meaning....Lets start from the beginning to see your understanding of the Faith.

Yes I know what being born again means. But in order to be born again, one must first die to the life he now has. And if by faith you mean the statement posted in the thread? That is but words on paper. Faith comes by hearing, and that by the word of God.

Deuteronomy 6:3-5

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

[2KnowHim]

Matthew 5:33-37

33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.


We are told not to make an oath as EVERYTHING belongs to God. And as we ALL on this site can agree on is that God holds His word above EVERYTHING. And what did He do with it?


Isaiah 45:22-23

22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

God sworn by Himself because there is NONE greater THAT EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS!

Now if God swore this, then surely He is able to perform it, I mean after all, EVERYTHING is His!

But how do you all see this? Are we all bowing and confessing lovingly or is this something else?

Sounds Like The Good News to me, Brother.

All will bow and confess, IN LOVE, God is Love, now my natural mind cannot comprehend this, but, by faith I receive it with open arms. True Faith in Christ is believing what we cannot see, therefore it must be by faith that we embrace it.

I wasn't there to see Him die on that cross for me, and yet by faith I know He did, and not only for me, but for the Whole world. Faith sees what the natural cannot see. So by faith I see All men lifted up and nailed to the cross with Him. All buried, and All Raised with Him.

The way I view God is the way I view others, In Love, and Mercy, The same as He views me.

Only to those who receive Him gives He the power to become the children of God. Only to those who open up their hearts and let Him in, is He in them.

Those who receive Him, are counted as in Him.
Those who reject Him, are NOT in Him.

Those who receive Him are the children of God.
Those who reject Him are the children of wrath.

To receive Christ in this life is to be made alive.
To reject Christ in this life is to reamain dead.

Those who receive Him are counted as raised with Him.
Those who reject Him are counted as remaining dead.

Those who receive Him are on the narrow path.
Those who reject Him are on the broad path.

Less are on the narrow path.
More are on the broad path.

Not all will be saved.
Not all will be lost.

Not all are sheep.
Not all are goats.

One road leads to heaven.
Many roads lead to Hell.

You choose, here and now.

[2KnowHim]

Isn't Christ the one who said if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me?
We were all the children of wrath before He called us into His marvelous light, were we not?

Didn't He also say that we did not choose Him, but He chose us?
And I would have no power at all if it were not given to me from above.

Just because you see (in the flesh) that all are not saved here and now, and that here and now is the only time we have to "choose",
Tells me you've not seen anything in The Spirit, because if you did you would see things through His eyes and not your own.

If a person has not received Christ, then they are still a child of wrath and still lost. It isn't automatic, it requires believing and receiving.
If you don't believe, and receive then you are lost.

We can argue about what can or cannot be seen in the spirit, but the written Word is clear, only those who believe are saved, those who believe NOT are lost.

Whatever you "think" you may see in the spirit, is always to be judged by the written Word. As such, what you are saying is well out of line with the written Word.

1 John 3:1-2

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

By sight, we all die a sinners death, beloved.

A murderer has no part with Christ. But upon death, he is NO LONGER a murderer!

Funny, the truth is right in front of your eyes, yet you still can't see it.

Methinks you should read the book in it's entirety instead of cherry-picking lines here and there.

Will you die? And if this happens to you, why?
