"9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself" (Titus 3:9-11 AV).I think that when someone who is religionist enough to know some thing about, say, the Ten Commandments, is a person whose pride is still not allowing him/her to admit that in the natural un-reborn state they are so depraved that no works they try to do can be enough to earn their way to heaven.
They can not admit that in their natural state Jehovah considered their "good works" as one would look at "filthy rags" worth only to b discounted and discarded; that the only good works that count for them is the faultless, perfect life, death, resurrection of the God-Incarnated human Jesus, Whose substitutionary sacrifice for anyone who will plead to the Judge of All that they will let themselves to become obedient slaves of His Son, His Shed Blood levied by the Judge as paying for their sin debt to Him, completely satisfying His Righteous Lawful Demands be bought out, Jesus' Shed Blood the currency and Jesus' time of Agony in it allaying the Judge's Furious Wrath forever.
If one's false pride will not allow the sinful human to admit his/her inborn worthlessness and faulty conduct when called to accountability in life, then he/she will be left under condemnation when physical death arrives, though you or I try to warn them of it, asking the just to become as lowly as we have, to reach out for the totally gracious gift of pardon, eternal life, and fellowship with Him that the Judge freely endows when they complete the transaction of accepting Jesus as their Master to replace the Devil who had been even from their conception.
You and I are tasked with this news, and when ignored, must go on to both warn and notify others like us of the joy that awaits them. Thanks you for encourage me and others, Mark17! We do have good works that our Heavenly Father asks us to perform in this life, AFTER we are inducted into the Company of the Committed servants of Jesus by our utter complete trust in Him as our Savior, Teacher, and Lord of All.
Looking forwards to our trip into the Clouds with our new faith-born vehicles, my dear Bro!
Yes, see you in the clouds at the pre trib, OSAS, sola scriptura, harpazo rapture. We will never again, have to deal with false doctrines, though, even after we are gone, false doctrines will still be on the earth, till the second coming. 👍😀
