| Feb 15, 2022 at 16:54 | comment | added | Sam | @Ann, "Unless the Holy Spirit grants a person unto salvation...," then, is it for the same reason that Israelites remained in the state of apostate-serving YHWH with lips, not hearts? Was it for the inefficacy of the "enabling of the Holy Spirit" that Jesus lamented, saying- "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,... How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! | |
| Feb 15, 2022 at 12:14 | comment | added | Anne | @Michael16 God both commands, and God enables by gifting the Holy Spirit to each person who he saves (Romans 8:1-16). It's all of God, not of works, so that no-one can boast (Ephesians 2:9). | |
| Feb 15, 2022 at 12:02 | comment | added | Michael16 | If that were the case (Calvinism/Augustin), again as I said, God wouldn't have given the commands to men throughout the Bible, but should have given to the holy spirit. It renders the commands useless. | |
| Feb 15, 2022 at 11:54 | comment | added | Anne | @Michael16 The point is that God enables a person to come to that point of true remorse and true regret by enabling them to see his view of sin, and what it cost him to deal with it. The Holy Spirit convicts a person so that they have that transformation of mind that enables them to walk in the opposite direction, thereafter following Christ because they have been given the mind of Christ. That's how the command is enabled! The Holy Spirit enables disabled sinners! | |

If it was impossible for humans, God or Christ wouldn't have commanded it to them throughout the scripture. Reconsider! | |
| Feb 14, 2022 at 17:58 | comment | added | Nigel J | Up-voted +1. Meta + noia 'Mind' and the meta prefix which is a powerful piece of language : an 'overlaying' of a concept upon a concept. The idea of a 'feeling' of 'remorse' is completely wrong and incompatible with the doctrine of the New Testament gospel. | |
