Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Act 5:31)for to give repentance to Israel; to the Israel whom God has chosen for himself, and Christ has redeemed by his blood, and whom the Spirit calls by his grace: these being sinners, as well as others, stand in need of repentance; and whereas this is not in any man's power, but is the free gift of God's grace; for though he should give men time and space to repent, and afford them the means of it, yet if he does not give them grace to repent, they never will, such is the hardness of man's heart; Christ is appointed to give this grace to the chosen ones, which he does by sending his Spirit to convince of sin, and to take away the stony heart, and give an heart of flesh... |

David declared, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me" (Ps. 51:5). He described his depravity as innate and not created, as derived from his mother and not his Maker, showing that defilement is transmitted directly from Adam through the channel of human propagation…But since mankind is fallen and human nature is depraved, the term "flesh" becomes the expression of that fact; and every time it is used in Scripture in a moral sense it refers to the corruption of our entire beings, without any distinction between our visible and invisible parts—body and mind. This is evident from those passages where "the flesh" is contrasted with "the spirit" or the new nature (Rom. 8:5-6; I Cor. 2:11; Gal. 5:17). When the apostle declared, "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh), dwelleth no good thing" (Rom. 7:18), he had reference to far more than his body with its appetites, namely, his entire natural man, with all its faculties, powers and propensities. The whole was polluted, and therefore nothing good could issue from him until divine grace was imparted…http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Depravity/deprave_06.htm |

God Loves All wrote: God loves all!! Prove me otherwise if you can (you can't). Anathema to all those who disagree!! Mal 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. God's testimony proves you wrong. Best be careful with those anathemas. Don't want to be found cursing God, do you? |

1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Luk 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. |

Mike wrote: As far as the potter/clay relationship goes, comparing Scripture with Scripture, consider Jeremiah 18:1-10 for insight into this metaphor later used by Paul in Romans. Notice the clay is not passive. The clay (Israel) is/will be formed(yes, by the Potter) according to Israel's response to God. Deu 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart (regeneration), and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Act 15:8-9 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. For the house of Israel their salvation began with Paul's calling on Damascus Road and salvation upon receiving the Holy Spirit. 1Ti 1:16-17 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Paul gave all glory to God for His mercy. He turned because God turned him granting repentance. |

Mike wrote: Why should God rise up in fury against that which he has ordained? Why shouldn't He? Will you deny the Potter's power over the lump of clay? Will you judge God unjust, oh man, for making some vessels for glory and others for perdition? |

JD: "If you insist that the Holy Spirit is regenerating believers of the OT"For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Micah 6:4 How were they redeemed? The same way Christians are redeemed. By the blood of the passover lamb, a type of Him who was to come and obviously not the same blood as that of bulls and goats which can never take away sin. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:9 JD: "Forget that I am trying to tell you the truth!" I have been quoting Truth and the Truth seems to disagree with your interpretation. I'll stick with the Truth, thank you very much. |

JD: "Aaron is the only OT believer to be called a saint" And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deuteronomy 33:1-3 JD: "I have made the case that no man between them [Adam-Jesus] were ever called the son of God." And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. Deuteronomy 32:19 JD: "I am attempting to rason [sic] with you out of the Scriptures and nothing I have said is false." For this statement to be true the bible must be false. |

Christian Zionism wrote: Where is the detail from the modern Christian Zionists that is done so well? Right here (as another already said):For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. Psalms 132:13-14 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24 Any other interpretation of Zion is based on false premises and a waste of time but if you want to research the false teachings of Zionism check the websites of Hal Lindsay, Jack Vam Impe and John Hagee. |

There are three baptisms spoken of in the NT; 1) Lower water as John's beyond Jordan for the cleansing of the filth (works) of the flesh; 2) The grave in the name of Jesus Christ unto His death and burial of the old man (flesh); 3) Living upper waters (Holy Spirit) for the cleansing and purifying of the conscience by faith. The first and third are typified in circumcision of the flesh and heart respectively.1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Tts 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Eze 36:25-27 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]. |

JD wrote: I submit that if anyone in the OT possessed the indwelling Spirit, it would have been his dsciples. God's Spirit written in new hearts of flesh (indwelling) is typical of the new covenant only. Yet in the old covenant God's Spirit was with His people but not written on their hearts through circumcision of the heart. So by keeping His covenant God's people were called sons and daughters.In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: FOR I AM WITH YOU, saith the LORD of hosts: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, SO MY SPIRIT REMAINETH AMONG YOU: fear ye not. Haggai 2:1-5 Doesn't that make more sense than denial of what is plainly written? |

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. (Ready for this? Pay attention now, hear?) And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. Deuteronomy 32:15-19 |
