Agreed. Sadly, OSAS come up with rationalizations such as this.
They parse being a believer, being saved from not really being so to invoke a kind of ex post facto.
They deny one can be on a diet and then eat cake, indicating they are no longer on a diet. They say if you eat cake, it means you were never on a diet before.
Well lets examine what paul said and wrote to the church .
Shall we sin , GOD forbid . Dont ye know that to WHOM you do yield yourselves subjects to OBEY
THAT IS WHO YE BELONG TOO , That is whose ye ARE .
Paul never once preached as i see many now preaching .
Visualize this . Visualize what i am about to say next .
IF one was overweight and i came and hollered Come and sit under me and i shall put you on a diet
on which ye shall indeed Lose the weight you desire to lose .
So i begin to teach them , Do NOT partake of these foods high in fats , in sugars , in carbs .
And i show them the food to eat like healthy whole foods
and i tell them to get up and exercise as well . WOULD THEY NOT HAVE LOST WEIGHT .
But here is the problem .
Their are many vendors who are promising them the same thing .
THEY holler come and sit under us and let us put you on a diet .
THEN then stand and tell the crowds , HEY SINCE YOU CAME TO ME
and listened to me , YOU ARE NOW FREE TO EAT as much cake , sugar , candy and junk
YOU ARE FREE to do so and ye will lose weight . TELL ME , WHAT man is gonna believe that .
NO ONE WOULD .
SO NOW i bring us to a far more dire important reminder , and a DIET by which if a man do eat
HE has eternal life .
BELIEVE YE IN THE BIBLICAL JESUS and HIS EVERY WORD , and the words of the apostels .
And yet , many had rather sit under men
who instead of preaching JESUS CHRIST WHO SETS MEN FREE FROM THE POWER OF SIN and OF SIN AND DEATH
and rather under a jesus who says COME YE NOW TO ME and ye are FREE TO SIN . NOT FROM SIN . TO SIN .
AND that AINT JESUS CHRIST . NO SIR , NO SIR .
IF our JESUS dont say things like GO AND SIN NO MORE
but rather giveth the idea oh ..............YE ARE FREE , YE ARE FREE and seems to overlook sins and errors .
I TELL US ALL IT IS NOT JESUS CHRIST , it cometh of men of the dragon . confused men .
COnfused men who never KNEW THE TRUE POWER OF GOD , THE TRUE GOSPEL .
Cause HAD THEY KNOW JESUS CHRIST , WELL THEIR HEARTS WOULD HAVE BIG TIME BEEN CHANGED .
GOD truly saved one of the worst when HE saved me . I was one dirty vile creature .
LETS NOT EVER FORGET that HE SURE CHANGED MY HEART , THE DIRECTION I WAS HEADED , THE LOVE FOR SIN I ONCE HAD .
MANY DO NOT KNOW THIS GOD OR CHRIST . THEY have come to another god and another christ .
AND THAT ONE WONT SAVE THEM . IT SIMPLY CANNOT SAVE THEM . FOR Its father is the DRAGON
who has fed them their hearts desires and given them a version of , an image of , both GOD and CHRIST
THAT SERVETH THE FLESH . AND THAT AINT GOD , AND THAT AINT CHRIST . OPEN BIBLES and read and read and read
is all i can tell folks now .
