Grace + Anything = Heresy

What's your point?

If you feel the need to ask such a question then you are beyond all hope of rational thinking. Sucks to be you.

There's always hope for everyone, you hold no authority.

Not true. I'm not saying he's definitely hopeless, but there are those who are. I have spelled out exactly what I wished known, and he comes back with "What's your point?" I believe that he/she has a reprobate mind. He/she along with others have intentionally blinded themselves to the truth because they love their sin more than they love their Creator. These people are already damned because they have told God to F*CK off!. So God gives them their wish. He gives them over to a reprobate mind. They are beyond any hope of salvation, because they have already made their decision, and they have chosen to reject God. There is no going back from that.

I'm not a he. You are not the Authority. God is.

And what I said is based on Gods word. If someone is undecided about God, there is still a chance for them. But once they have heard Gods message of Salvation and rejected it, they damn themselves.

So Gods word says Jesus is a heretic? I missed that part.

I also missed the part where God says you have one chance or all hope is gone

Well, obviously, limited as we are by our language, we have to say that if an imperfect being is permitted to approach the Perfect One, it can only be by the gift of that One. Nevertheless, be cautious with verbiage; it is highly capable of leading thought astray.

You aren't God. You cannot speak for God. You can't decide who is worthy, and you aren't the authority on anyone's personal relationship with God.

I never said I was. However, I provided several Scriptural references in the OP. It was a clear explanation of Salvation by Grace. And some idiot asks me "What's your point?" That tells me all I need to know.

I wanted to know what your point is. You seem a little bit self-righteous, I mean if your posting about grace and someone asks what's your point, instead of trying to graciously explain it further, you attack the person.

The prodigal son is an example of someone gone astray who is welcomed back. Sometimes people will lose their way so to speak but Jesus example of that parable is about boundless mercy and divine love. Gods grace is not limited.

People don't need condemnation instead promote reconciliation and mercy.

OK. First of all, I'd like apologize for snapping at you. I was having a bad day. I'm involved in three different forums , and I deal with hostile people on a daily basis. It gets to you after a while. This thread is about the difference between Salvation by grace and Salvation by works. Which do you believe? Let's start with that.

Thanks. I understand boards can be brutal.

Both.

I think each person's relationship with God is personal, individual and unique.

If you go off course you will experience pain and at any time you can get back on course and experience grace.

How can it be both? We are either saved by grace or we have to earn it. It can't be both. Let's try something else. Do you believe that there is anything we can do to earn our way to Heaven? Or do you believe that Salvation is a free gift that cannot, in any way, be earned? There is no middle ground here. It's one or the other.

There is no middle ground here. It's one or the other.

you first have to sin, sinner then you have only yourself to figure it out unless you happen to read a concocted 4th century book tailor made for your type of stupidity then its a free ride till you actually die, good luck.
