" But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. " Jn. 1:12,13 KJV
to begin with, when the co-redeemer's quote this verse they quote only Jn. 1:12. they
avoid verse 13 because that part of the passage defines salvation to be entirely by the
will of God and " not of the will of man. " the co-redeemer's are pleased with a gospel
for the smart only so they can make the boast of the flesh telling the world how smart
they are.
this is an amazing thing since all of the unsaved are in Adam and are spiritually dead.
they think they commune with the Living God all the while they are dead... a Biblical
impossibility. ( Ps. 115:17 ) they don't even have followship with the elect but speak
dead words of this world to them, yet they think they speak living words to God so as to
save themselves.
and in order to make salvation to be by the will of man they must of necessity change the
verb " received, " which is in passive voice, to the word " accepted " which is active
voice. " as many as received Him " is changed to " as many as accepted Him. "
so perfectly has God hidden salvation from the co-redeemer's that even in the passages
they pervert they can not see the contradictions they are making. when the whole doctrine
of Jn. 1:12,13 is viewed even with the substitution of " accepted " in an active voice is
put in place of " received " in the passive voice the idea of man ' accepting '
Christ is made void because even " accepted Him " is " not by the will of man."
man can not accept nor receive Christ unto life on man's terms. " received Him " is
conditioned by " He gave " thus making the word " received " as being in the passive
voice. " He gave " and therefore the elect received. the co-redeemer's want the glory
for the doing and it's exactly that which void's grace. in the realm of co-redemption
only the smart can be saved. aborted fetuses, babies dying at birth, toddler's and the
mentally impaired are left out. their explanations of salvation always illustrate's man
doing something toward God before God can save.
thanks be to God in Christ that He is found by those who did not seek for Him.
( Ro. 10:20 ) the gospel of grace makes it possible that aborted fetuses, babies dying at
birth, toddler's and the mentally impaired can be saved. this is because receiving Him is
not by the will of man... not by the smart's of man, not by the co-redeemer's seeking
their own glory for the doing.
a wonderful example of unconditional election is seen in Christ attending to the two
demoniac's as recorded in Mt.8:28-34 as well as scores of other places in the Bible. not
a mention of " accepting Jesus into his heart " is ever mentioned... nor keeping the 10
Commandments nor the Saturday Sabbath nor any personal achievement on the part of the
one's given life. but we see again and again many truths in practice in these contexts
such as Christ doing seeking and saving... sinner's being found of Christ who are not
seeking Him...
God having mercy on whom He wills... all having to do with the grace of God and nothing at
all to do with co-redeemer's who insist they've masterminded their own salvation by their
alleged good works. |
