@desmond_attobra@ayotherealme Kindly look at Rom 6:1 in different translations (atleast 5), if you still conclude that what Paul was referencing at that verse was the nature of sin and not the act, then I’m sorry I don’t see how i can help out again.
@desmond_attobra@ayotherealme I think you are getting it wrong here, the question Paul asked in Rom 6:1 is “shall we continue in sin?”. He was not talking about sin as a nature, if he was then there is no need for the following statement “grace may abound”. He was clearly speaking about sin as an act there.
@williamsdthird@Dreamawake___@ayotherealme gather all things in Christ — both in heaven and on earth. On the earth is the church whom Christ presides over as the head (Eph 1:10;22) whom are expected to submit to Christ in all things. One of that church is the church in Sardis which i earlier cited as an example.
@williamsdthird@Dreamawake___@ayotherealme Participation cannot be described as “sole”. Participation is a partnership between two parties, in this case between God and man. God initiates, man responds. Without participation, you would not have received the gift of salvation. “God’s will” is one and it is that he might
@MikeOlufem1@ayotherealme According to scripture, everlasting generally relates to something that has no beginning nor end. Meanwhile, if you are relating it to the Life that derives from God, it means God’s Life which is without a beginning nor end.
@Oloidipj@ayotherealme If you are waitin for example, you might have to wait till eternity; that is where the verdict is given not on earth, which by God’s sovereignty we are for now precluded from its full knowledge. Meanwhile, the scripture reveals a progression of journey into death in James 1:14-15
@SamuelC90165@ayotherealme Assurance of salvation does not insulate us from the temptation to sin. But sinning without repentance (turning away from it); allowing your self to be ruled by sin is the dangerous path not to thread. Meanwhile, God’s grace is made available primarily for us to live above sin.
@desmond_attobra@ayotherealme What do you mean “if they continue in sin” as being the nature of sin; He was literally speaking to believers who are partakers of God’s saving grace. Hebrew 10:26-27 gives a resounding reiteration to this emphasis and the writer was emphatically speaking to believers.
@MikeOlufem1@ayotherealme If you study the epistles, the other letters, the gospels, with Revelation and you don’t cherry pick, you won’t have any struggle in agreeing with what the preacher said. Eternal life is not duration but quality of God’s life that brings you into the knowledge of God (John 17:3)
@williamsdthird@Dreamawake___@ayotherealme The will of God does not override the participation of man. When Jesus was speaking to the church in Sardis, He told them to repent and the reason is so their name will not be blotted from the book of life. We all know a name can only be blotted out if it has already been written
@thekintann@microbialawyer Travailing in scripture is often described in scripture using the imagery of labour pains, depicting an agonizing sense of expression. Now a woman that is in labour pain, does she make a necessary or an unnecessary sound from your perspective?
@thekintann@microbialawyer The loud cries and tears that Jesus made in Gethsemane according to the Hebrew writer in Heb 5:7, you would call that necessary because it was recorded in the scripture right. In Isaiah 42:14,God said that his cry for Israel would be likened to a woman in birth (that is travail)
