Tulipbee is going against me for telling people to obey to be saved. Think about it, who would do such a thing? Please answer that question.

The way to be unensnared by the devil is to only believe and obey what is written.

What we "ought" to do does not imply "can" do.
God's command does not imply ability.

John Owen once said:
“To say that we are able by our own efforts to think
good thoughts or give God spiritual obedience before
we are spiritually regenerate is to overthrow the gospel
and the faith of the universal church in all ages.”

We are not just flesh, we are flesh and spirit.

Not everyone is only interested in pleasing their flesh.

There are some that want more out of this life.

There are those that are given more, for they get to hear the written words of God, and they have the ability to reason.

They must struggle in a violent way to get to the Truth, it is according to their hearts desire.

Jesus tells us what we have to do.

He does not do it for us.

The violent take it by force.

Matthew 11:12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.

Luke 16:16
"The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it.

What do you mean? This is the first I heard someone say such a thing. Our names are written in the book of life for our approved faith of God. Rather our names are written in the books of works prior to this. Anyone who has their names written in the books of works have all their debts written down meticulously. Likewise those in the book of life have all their good deeds written down therein.

So if someone's name is blotted out of the book of life it is because they believed in Jesus and was saved, but then they fell away.

The Bible records two books: the book of remembrance and the book of life. In the BOR, the Bible does not say what are written. In the BOL, only names are written.

You can better understand the gospel through the book of life. Read this thread.
