Question/Answer with dear sister in Christ, She need clarification on “RECONCILIATION OF ALL MANKIND UNDERSTANDING AND BEYOND”
Brother Bini Answer, TRUTH IN LOVE!
1, Hmm… as we all know the word of the Lord says, the wages of sin is DEATH (Rom. 6:23), NOT eternal torture in fire, The bible It never, EVER, suggested that people should tortured in fire for eternal. God’s judgments are “eonian, The words literally mean “age” or “age-abiding,” but they are often translated “eternal” or “everlasting” in the modern translations, like in KJV & many other modern language Bibles, I know of a DOZEN Bible translations translated this word to a period of time. The same word in KJV used “everlasting” or “eternal,” “World” etc… but rather is should be translated “eonian” or “age-abiding.” “not “eternal.”
Besides God’s J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T-S bring repentance and salvation: “When Thy JUDGMENTS are in the earth the inhabitants of the W-O-R-L-D WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Isa. 26:9). Did you see that? Do you doubt this verse?
“Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name. That at the name of JESUS e-v-e-r-y k-n-e-e s-h-o-u-l-d b-o-w [that’s worship sis], of things [them] in heaven, and them in earth, and them under the earth;[that’s all things] And that e-v-e-r-y t-o-n-g-u-e s-h-o-u-l-d CONFESS that Jesus Christ IS LORD [that’s R-E-P-E-N-T-A-N-C-E, Dear don forget the power behind it can ONLY be done by the in-dwelling of God’s Holy Spirit, ‘…no man CAN say that Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Spirit’ I Cor. 12:3], to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2;9-11). That’s repentance and salvation dear sister in the higher dimension of truth!
CHRISTIANS talking babble and act like anything they do to be saved is questionable. “W-E A-R-E S-A-V-E-D B-Y G-R-A-C-E, through F-A-I-T-H.” GRACE IS FREE. GRACE SAVES US. Even faith itself is from God, he once delivered it and we make it our own. (Jude 1:3 [YLT])…exhorting to agonize for the faith o-n-c-e d-e-l-i-v-e-r-e-d to the saints, Nothing but the G-R-A-C-E O-F J-E-S-U-S C-H-R-I-S-T S-A-V-E-S U-S = NOTHING ELSE! And we didn’t “come to Christ,” willingly the Father DRAGGED US” (John 6:44), and we have not “chosen Christ,” but rather Christ has “c-h-o-s-e-n u-s” (John 15:16).
First of all I understand the questions flying in every Christians and anger, God is doing the same thing what he did to me when he DRAGGED me to this understanding, I know the anger when he salted me with the fire of his word I experience it to, He is smashing the noses off of every, Christians, carnal thinking & perspective to give us his absolute divine perspective (idols of the heart, as Ezekiel calls them). “For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Mark 9:49” It is not hard to tell if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; I know if you remove from every Christians heart hell and eternal torture in fire, their wood, hay, stubble burned, they shall suffer loss: but thy themselves shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s, thank God the foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ! Guaranty they will be saved.
REAL GOD SON’S & DAUGHTER should act like one, they are SON’S & DAUGHTER b/c they are real SON’S & DAUGHTER of GOD, they should not follow the father because thy screed the JUDGMENT or hell and eternal torture in fire, thy should follow the Father because thy LOVE HIM AS HE LOVED THEM FIRST!
You kind of sound that: “Your manner of thinking [How can we reconcile the GOOD NEWS?] tells people that they need not worry about their sins, because all will eventually be forgiven.” People should comment on the actual GOD’S WORD that I have written rather than on what thy “think” simply walk, even as he walked!
I do tell people how that they need to [REPENT AND OBEY THE GOSPEL]. Did you conveniently overlook all those many statements I make? I have never, EVER, suggested that people can or should take a casual approach to their damnable sins!
GOD SON’S & DAUGHTER must keepeth his word, in them verily is the love of God perfected: hereby thy know that they are in him. He or she that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. As the word says, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one, little children, because ye have known the Father. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any men love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1John 2:15 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Heb 12:14
“Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name. That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow [that’s worship], of things [them] in heaven, and them in earth, and them under the earth; And that every tongue should C-O-N-F-E-S-S that Jesus Christ IS LORD [that’s R-E-P-E-N-T-A-N-C-E, Dear, and it can ONLY be done by the in-dwelling of God’s Holy Spirit, ‘…no man CAN say that Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Spirit’ I Cor. 12:3], to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2;9-11).
I understand all realms are ordained by the LORD & he uses them according to his purpose of the ages. With that in mind few Christians and theologian accuse RECONCILIATION OF ALL MANKIND UNDERSTANDING AND BEYOND, is “DISTORTING” the common view of salvation in Rom. 1:16 and 10:9, to say common salvation is accept, believe and confess, as though SOMEWHERE we teach contrary to this! my writings is not CONTRADICT OR TEACH the common salvation even its strengthen the truth of salvation for ALL, I know God is giving us beyond Adams limited view to the spirit realm and his word, Phil. 2:9-11, where E-V-E-R-Y K-N-E-E AND E-V-E-R-Y T-O-N-G-U-E bows and c-o-n-f-e-s-s-e-s that Jesus is L-O-R-D A-N-D M-A-S-T-E-R O-F T-H-E-I-R L-I-V-E-S! Where do you see in these verses FAILURE to believe and accept Jesus? It is true there is NO permanent doctrine in sonship, because when he the spirit of truth guide us into all truth we will keep follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, so it’s Clare we are established by revelation not by education alone.
Dear sis, salvation is not a matter of a 1st chance or a 2nd chance or any chance. Salvation is “s-u-r-e.” we know if God say a word it’s done!
“S-U-R-E-L-Y, He Who spares not His own Son, but gives Him up for us all, how shall He NOT, together with Him, also, be graciously granting us A-L-L?(Rom. 8:32, Concordant Literal New Testament).
Who gets predetermined Men ourselves or God predetermined who gets saved and when ?
“Now we are aware that God [Who? G-O-D. Men-ourselves? NO-GOD] is working all together for the good of those who are loving God who are called according to the purpose that, whom He foreknew, He designates beforehand, also, to be conformed to the image of His Son for Him to be Firstborn among many brethren. Now whom Hedesignates beforehand, these He calls also, and whom He calls, these He justifiesalso; now whom He justifies, these He glorifies also” (Rom. 8:28-30, Concordant Literal New Testament).
It is A-L-L O-F G-O-D. It is not wrong to tell others of your knowledge of God and His Word. It is not, however, your responsibility to “get people saved.” Only God can do that.
It is GOD who does the calling:“For ye see your c-a-l-l-i-n-g brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are c-a-l-l-e-d. But God h-a-s c-h-o-s-e-n[Who? ‘GOD’] the weak things of this world to confound the things which are mighty…” (I Cor. 1:26-27).
It is GOD who does the d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g: “No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent Me, draw him[Gk: ‘drag him’] …” (John 6:44).
It is CHRIST Who chooses from those His Father dragged:
“Ye have not chosen Me, but I H-A-V-E C-H-O-S-E-N YOU…” (John 15:16).
Eventually this will include all mankind: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw[dragged] all men unto me” (John 12:32).
And all will respond to God’s judgments and chastisements: “That at the name of Jesus E-V-E-R-Y knee should bow, of those in heaven, and those in earth, and those under the earth; And that E-V-E-R-Y t-o-n-g-u-e should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father”(Phil. 2:10-11-See also Isa. 26:9b). E-V-E-R-Y t-o-n-g-u-e do you know anyone NO tongue?
And let’s not forget: “…no man CAN say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit”
(I Cor. 12:3b). IT IS FINISHED (John 19:30)!
So as a GOD SON’S & DAUGHTER how do we demonstrate or tell others the truth knowledge of God and His Word 1st TRUTH IN LOVE! And 2nd your good works and righteous character, if you are GOD SON’S & DAUGHTER act like one! Well this will pay dividends to others eventually-if not in this life, then in the Judgment.
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation [Gk: ‘conduct’] honest [Gk: ‘honorable’] among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may B-Y Y-O-U-R G-O-O-D W-O-R-K-S, [Not your clever Bible arguments] , which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation” (I Pet. 2:11-12).
