10/16/19 SHARED A MEMORY

Just thought it was worth saying again.
DON'T GET UPSET WITH ME, I JUST ADDRESS THE MADNESS, I DID NOT CREATE IT.

I am often told by those who advance the doctrines of sinning religion that God is not glorified if man has any part in his own salvation; that God is only or best glorified by saving a person aside from any human effort or participation. They claim that the will and actions of man have no effect on their salvation.

If that is true (but it is not, since it contradicts the clearly revealed word of God), then why wouldn't a believer in sinning religion deliberately NOT confess, NOT believe, NOT repent, NOT follow Jesus, NOT obey God since doing any of those things is considered to be "works of the flesh?" (At least that is what they tell me when I tell them that man is required by God to believe, confess, repent, follow Jesus and obey God). If they really believe that God unilaterally and unconditionally elects people to eternal life, then they should have no problem just allowing God to save them without any personal response to the gospel message.

Many of them who claim they believe that anything a person may do to receive salvation is an act of "self righteousness," but they are not willing to live by their claims, because they know differently, down deep inside. They are willing to play games with other people's souls, so why won't they just swear off all "works of the flesh," such as believing, confessing, repenting and obeying Jesus?

Yes, I understand that people subscribe to different tenets of sinning religion. But like the feller said, when he heard it was just a small rat that fell into the stew, "I'll just do without."
