Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament scriptures

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

Spiritually you are and you will die physically. It was said in the book of Hebrews

“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.”
Hebrews 2:14-15 ESV

@OzMarquezz Since no one says "out of our ignorance," you're burning a strawman.

We preach knowing God saves whom He wills. And whosoever will may come. Both are true. So the Free Offer is True.

The Gospel proclaimed reveals the elect. Because God willed it so.

Paul literally said that if men could be righteous on their own, then Christ died for nothing.

“I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.”
Galatians 2:21 ESV

When Abraham lied about Sarah being his sister, he was not acting in faith nor trusting God which the law of God requires a man to do. James says that if a man break the law at one point, you’re guilty of all of it.

“For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.”
James 2:10-11 ESV

This is why righteousness must be the result of God’s grace and not a result of man’s own work because man cannot keep the law on his own. He is dead in sin. While I understand you may say you don’t believe in works righteousness, your presuppositions entail that given your belief that man is autonomous and that faith is generated by man and not by God. God could forgive Abraham and deem him righteous because He believed God, continued in faith, made a promise to him that He swore to Himself to keep, and because God was looking ahead to the cross. While Abraham received all the benefits, it was all God’s doing. It wasn’t because of anything good or righteous in Abraham.

This morning, I am praying that Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed find salvation in Jesus.

Christians are to not show partiality. We are not to boast against the natural branches for being cut off for unbelief because if we continue in unbelief, we too may get cut off because there is no partiality with God.

I can think of no better moral test for a Christian than what you do with the Jewish people and Israel.

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@Soteriology101 They trusted God because God had already given them His righteousness beforehand. God always requires perfection

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@JoelWebbon “As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.”
Titus 3:10-11 ESV

God had already given them His righteousness. That’s why they were righteous. Your post implies that men can be righteous on their own apart from God’s doing and negates the need for Christ. If no one is righteous according to the law and the law of God requires trust, then no one is righteous and can trust God since trusting God is righteous

[Soteriology101 🩸 @Soteriology101]

NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS!
• ENOCH WAS RIGHTEOUS 🤔

People throughout Scripture called “righteous” weren’t perfect; they simply trusted in God.

No one is righteous according to the law, but that doesn’t mean no one can trust in God. In Romans 1:17, Paul declared, “the righteous live by faith,” then contrasted believers with those “who suppress the truth in unbelief” and “trade the truth for lies.”

Calvinists wrongly interpret Romans 1–3 to mean that because no one is righteous, no one can trust in God unless He miraculously causes them to. That’s not what Paul is teaching!

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@billthetruther They are one. The Lord applies to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Trinitarianism changes nothing of the oneness of God. You just assume “one” means one person and are begging the question

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@Joel7Richardson @Man4Christ89 Joel is not Postmill. Don’t get him confused with Historic Postmill. The conquering of the nations comes through gospel proclamation as men’s hearts are changed. These guys don’t hold to that

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@billthetruther @OG1_Prod That applies to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. None of that changes anything. He’s still one

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@TheForeverWord @rootcausesleuth I know what they say. That doesn’t change the fact that there was regeneration and the indwelling of the HS prior to Pentecost

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@TheForeverWord @rootcausesleuth Not just prophets only. Plus prophets are still people too so your interpretation makes no sense

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@TheForeverWord @rootcausesleuth Even John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from birth

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@TheForeverWord @rootcausesleuth The text literally says the prophets had the Spirit of Christ in them which means they were regenerate

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@rootcausesleuth @TheForeverWord The Spirit of Christ was in them.

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

There was definitely regeneration in the OT. The NT says so

“Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.”
1 Peter 1:10-11 ESV

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@rootcausesleuth That doesn’t change anything. If man could be righteous on their own, then Christ didn’t need to come and give us His to save us

[Jon Bowlin @_jonbowlin]

@rootcausesleuth “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV
