“You are simply ignoring fact that Jesus has already paid for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2), that God has done it all and IT IS FINISHED, and the terms of the New Covenant that declare he will not hold our sins against us because they were already fully judged on the body of His Son.”

NOT WITHOUT REPENTANCE.

We are NOT all children of God.

” For God to condemn Bruce after he has received Jesus is making God out to be an unjust liar.”

Bruce shows ZERO signs of “receiving” Jesus. There is no indication of repentance, belief, a changed life (in a positive sense), etc. We are saved by grace, but not while rejecting the God who is willing to give it.

“Do not live any longer as the Gentiles live. For they live blindfold in a world of illusion, and cut off from the life of God through ignorance and insensitiveness. They have stifled their consciences and then surrendered themselves to sensuality, practising any form of impurity which lust can suggest.

But you have learned nothing like that from Christ, if you have really heard his voice and understood the truth that he has taught you.”

Someone who mutilates himself to try to change his sex is not living in God’s will or making any pretense of living under God’s will. Not all are saved, only those who repent and believe.

The Apostle to the Gentile church, Paul never spoke of repentance after the mystery of Christ in us was revealed...There was a flip-flop...A transition...

At one time the church was instructed to work for their salvation as Paul reminds us...

Act 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Those works for repentance put us under the law...

After the Jew rejected God and the church was offered to the Gentiles with the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit, Grace abounded...

2Co_9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Php_1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

2Th_2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Heb_13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus works in us after we are saved to encourage repentance...It is He who does the work of repentance...
