“ Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.”
King James Version (KJV) 2 Corinthians 11:1
“ Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.”
King James Version (KJV) 2 Corinthians 11:1
I need to discuss and bring some things to light that shouldn't be a surprise to believers in Christ and we're talking about biblical believers that study the Bible, study history, do many different studies in conjunction with the faith, and show themselves approved ie: those whom have brought people to salvation are teachers on solid food. There are brothers out there that are advanced and they are very experienced but each have their own experience apart from what God gives them. Some of these brothers are brilliant and they're blessed in the way that they have built up their house not on a shallow quicksand foundation but on a pretty sturdy foundation but I don't know some of them personally. So I'm going to get at something that can cause divisions. I'm going to get at something that is hard to accept. On the day of judgment people claim their works and they're found to be evil doers probably the children of Satan thinking that they were Christians but they don't abide in Christ but they claim to be believers. He's not saying father forgive them for they don't know what they are doing. He's saying cursed into the everlasting fire but the people that are accepted are welcomed into his kingdom. You know they have this other saying even people that believe on/in his name will be saved but what does that mean? Romans 10:13-15 Acts 2:21 but I warned you it says those who call on his name. Cry out to him if you don't know him. If you don't know him I suggest you read the Bible King James recommended all the verses that talk about whom he is and pray.
When Christ told people repent or perish in his time they were under the law and he kept the law perfectly but when he told the prostitute go and sin no more what did he mean? Did he mean go and have some more sex? If he tells you to repent and don't look at playboy magazines or don't look at the internet even YouTube shorts searching for biblical shorts you will find women exposing their sexual selves with temptation in vanity and you'll have to go through these to search sometimes for things you're searching for and you'll see them with your eye. The Bible tells us to renew our minds in essence put it on things that are of God. If we are told that the way is a straight gate it's not broad because most people are destroyed because they go in/attempt to at the broadway where do we draw the line? If we're told that Christ prunes the branches and he does and were to live holy because of the vine being holy but we don't abide in him how could we claim to be his followers? If you go to university and you talk while the professor is giving his lecture and eventually your warned and then you get kicked out are you abiding by the rules? If you get pulled over by the police speeding going through a red light causing a major accident and killing people say you tell the police officer that your brother in Christ told you you're not under the law and you're a legalist and you're putting James against Paul so you also went to a bar and started to drink alcohol too prior driving impaired that automobile because beware of being a legalist you're not saved by Good Works so no need to abide in the Vine, no need to renew your mind, what the heck have a little fun. If the wages of sin is death what's that mean and how does one overcome if there's no righteousness apart from seeking his Christ's. The bereans were searching the scriptures day and night to see if things were so. It is true we're not under the law God has set it aside but there was a reason for doing so. There's a way to live when you're in Christ but sometimes we're so pressed for hard times that we're so tired and when you're tired you're mind is overrun. You'll notice you drink lots of coffee/tea, you drink too much fluids, you'll be running to the washroom every two seconds pardon the pun and your mind will be weak this is why you need rest. What am I getting at with all these things? I'm not necessarily saying that experienced brothers that's been preaching for years are necessarily wrong and I did see and notice the street preachers "particularly some" anybody that's been at it 25 years, Ruben Israel 40 to 50 maybe 60 years once they have that much experience they start to think once saved always saved is false and how are they knowing this? The Bible says it is possible to trodden under foot the son of God. It's possible to abused grace. It's possible to be backslidden and there are so many back sliders in the faith is not funny. The Bible says it's also possible for the elect to be deceived. Maybe they're not deceived but it's possible.
Regarding the book of Hebrews :
:
It has also been described as an intricate New Testament book. Some scholars believe it was written for Jewish Christians who lived in Jerusalem. Its essential purpose was to exhort Christians to persevere in the face of persecution.
“ Of how much sorer punishment , suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” Hebrews 10:29 KJV
Try not to abuse grace don't even try just do it .
Christ is making the choices on the day of judgment not us and we better make damn sure we know what we're doing. How can you love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength if you're not determined and you don't care? He's the master. If we are the branches and he's the master and we don't abide in him because you see the danger of calling out people as legalists that teach righteousness is dangerous too because once they lower their standards they can fall prey to going back to the world you see the double innuendos, the double standards that's dangerous.
