Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Eternal salvation is NOT offered

Eternal salvation is NOT offered;
there is NO offer of eternal salvation;
it is freely applied/bestowed to individual elect
when in their state of sin and death.

Eternal salvation is NOT offered; there is NO offer of eternal salvation; it is freely applied/bestowed to individual elect when in their state of sin and death.

Temporal salvation requires actively working out with fear and trembling, in obedience to the will of the Father.

Sinners dead in trespasses and sins have no ability whatsoever to accept the offer. Offering salvation to sinners is like offering a big-Mac to a dead man and expecting him to accept your kind offer and eat it, and become alive! Completely absurd, and moronic idea.

It is God who sovereignly and freely QUICKENS an elect in his native state of sin and death unto eternal life.

When God executes that gracious act in bestowing eternal life, it is irresistible; there is NOTHING the dead in trespasses and sins can do to resist God's gracious act. Dead Lazarus could do nothing to resist the life-giving summon of Christ, "Come forth, Lazarus!"

Divine acts in eternal salvation are always EFFECTUAL, yes 100% effectual, perfectly effectual every instant, for every elect; ALWAYS attaining the intent and purpose of God's grace in saving His people. Nothing less.

Let the misguided continue to offer their big-Mac to dead men and make a fool of themselves! If only the dead can speak, they will curse the living for making offers to them expecting them to receive them! NO amount of offering, no matter how sincere, earnest, and LOUD, can help at all.  If you get this, you begin to understand the saying "salvation by grace ALONE."

Eternal salvation is not offered? Paano tong juan 3:16 diba malinaw na conditional vrs yan dahil sa words na that and whosoever?

Sing 
Rolando, Thanks. Show us why is John 3:16 a conditional offer.

Rolando Caquilala
Sing, it's conditional because of the words that and whoever, that whoever believes in his Son Jesus Christ will not be judged but will have eternal life..

If you read, "whosoever eats have life" - how would you understand these words?
Is it a statement of truth about those who eat, or is it a conditional offer to the dead?
Is it an offer to the dead, that whoever of the dead that eats, life will be given to them???

Rolando Caquilala
Sing, no Pastor, that's an offer to those Born again because when you look back to the context in verse 3-8 Jesus said except a man be born again he can't see the kingdom of God. That's why the eternal life is offered by God to those Born again people.

Sing
Rolando, some people offer eternal life to those ALREADY born again by God with eternal life. They show themselves STUPID, i.e. lacking common sense.
I think better things of you.

"Except a dead man be quickened, he cannot breathe" is a statement of fact about a dead man; it makes no offer to the dead man.

Isn't it basic common sense?
Whatever has happened to common sense?
There is a debilitating disease called soundbytitis; it destroys common sense.

Sing: being a Born again is not yet eternal life or eternal salvation, but like regeneration when it reconnects again in the relationship with God and Man who were separated before because of the marriages of Man. That's why the Man is called dead Because of the marriages, it's not you can compare to a dead physically that whatever you do to him he can't respond, but we are separated from the relationship with God, and through Christ we were raised again to God the Father with Christ from our deadness in marriages there. Romans 6:1-4. And through Christ we are reconnected or reconciled with God. Romans 5:8-10. Ephesians 2:4-8. Titus 3:4-7.. this is the pass salvation that is pure by Grace of God, the present salvation in our daily lives is accompanied by our salvation from people who are untoward Generation. Acts 2:40, and salvation from trouble by calling on the name of the Lord by prayer. Romans 10:13. . Psalms 91:14-15. But eternal salvation, that is future salvation and that is what God promised to the people born again or the elected who will continue to follow God's will and will not let go or retreat in following God. Hebrews 5:9.. Hebrews 10:38-39.. Titus 1:1-2.

Rolando. Thanks.
I understand you loud and clear: regenerated BUT without eternal life; the regenerated must believe in order to have eternal life.
Your are not alone. Take a look here: Believe to get eternal life.
