Man part two
I told Ron I am not going to be answering him and I am not going to, I am talking about the truth of Man and I am saying that within the speer of man Man has nothing that is going to make himself right with a God. I am not ashamed to be called a Calvinist if that is what anyone calls me because me thinking is in the bible. No where in the bible can you get free will. Here is a truth that anything one get in the bible is theory and to my theory is not ok in bible studies. If the bible said I a a dead man in spirit and if it told us that I can choose to find Jesus then ok. But in the doctrine of man as I said there is no hope. Standing on ourselfs and our works God said no works are even accepted. So lets begin to go into the word and prove this
1 Cor 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.1
This is a very key to this man theology. The natural man does not receive the things of God. It means that in the getting right with God one has no way to do it without something God grants. Sin means your dead to anything the Lord wants you to do. It is utter foolishness to think a man can choose for Jesus if he thinks it is foolish. It is folly for man in his sin that fails to obey God. I say you would not want to obey anything God wants because your nature is corrupted and unable to be obey.
I want to hammer another nail into mans coffin and show you this is death of man is the end of the work of man
eph 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.2
God made you alive meaning it was his idea. It was not you came to become alive but you were made. In this passage God is working. In this here is man, you walked to the course of the world, you the son of the devil who could do nothing but fulfill your desire for sin and pleasure. And you because of the sin you did. You were the kids of the wrath of God.
1 jn 1 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.3
We are in sin and in sin man is blinded to any truth.
Psalms 14 The fool has said in his heart,“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, (unable to reason for themselfes the goodness of God)
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good. (not even pick good.)
2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.4
I am trying to make the point that man has no hope within and is unable to do anything to get saved and the hope Jesus offers is outside any work of man including the truth that a man has a choice and can choose Jesus without Jesus enabling the choice. Within man lies no hope. How it gets to man comes in a place to get the to god is not being studied. Man is no hope.
