[Cronos]

Cronos The only thing God asks is for us to accept that and THAT is a hard thing for man to do.

PMarlow: No. It is impossible. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Mat 19:25-26 KJV)

Marlowe -- you're not reading the line in it's entirety and making serious errors. I said that it is hard for man to accept God's grace.

You then post something completely out of context saying that man cannot save himself only God can save him. I did not deny that and YOU KNOW IT, I said that man must ACCEPT God's grace. That's it.

That is the problem with your interpretation, you're reading meanings and sub-meanings by chopping and choosing what you want to see. And THAT is the problem with many if not most Protestant teachings -- pick and choose what you want to see and ignore and then shouting out aloud your ignorance.

Can't you see how silly that seems to us? As silly as your post where I say one thing and you jump to a conclusion without bothering to read and understand You see but do not read, do not understand and that is the fault.

[P-Marlowe]

Marlowe -- you're not reading the line in it's entirety and making serious errors. I said that it is hard for man to accept God's grace.

And I said that it is impossible.

Unless God performs a miracle on your cold dead heart, you will no more want to accept God's grace than you would want to drink a bucket of vomit. It is only because God has given you the desire to come to him that you will come to him. On your own and left to your own devices you will never come to Christ. It is impossible. Not merely "hard". Impossible.
