Woe is the co-redeemer. He didn't want to serve Christ in the Garden but Satan. Now he thinks he wants to serve Christ again...

Man is " dead " in sin, Eph.2:1-3, while dead he thinks the Living God hears him " inviting Jesus into his heart. "
Isa.59:2. If he could be heard by the Living God while dead in sin we wouldn't find such as passage in Holy Scripture.

When all things were going good for man in the Garden he was still not satisfied in his heart of hearts to serve
Christ... so he, of his own free will, rejected Christ and chose Satan... but now, while under the thumb of Satan, he
thinks he can serve Christ again. The parable of the Sower says otherwise.

A fancy idea but an impossible one to convert oneself. The co-redeemer rely's on the idea, un-Biblical as it is, that
while in his contrary and in the flesh dead spirit he successfully invokes the Living God and this invoking actually
puts him back into serving Christ again. The Bible says quite the contrary.

Man obviously gave up on serving Christ while in the Garden, typified by Judas Iscariot, and chose rather to reject Him
and serve Satan instead. Now that man has shown his true colors to both God and his fellow man he thinks he can go back
to his roots and reverse his choice to serve Satan simply because he's told by denominational traditions he can.
Co-Redemption gospel's conveniently bypass the fact that the way to the Tree of Life, Jesus Christ, is blocked... that's
why this parable is told us in Genesis. Jesus therefore declares when asked, " who then can be saved ? " He answers
saying... " with men it is impossible." Mt.19:25,26. Co-Redemtion gospel's preach otherwise.

We are also told that un-redeemed man is " in the snare of the devil held captive by him at God's will, " 2 Tim.2:26.
We therefore can understand what Jesus means when He teaches us the parable of the Sower. Man's will is under the
direct control of Satan himself according to these passages. The co-redeemer's think the Word of God doesn't apply to
them, nor the mentally incapable, but only those smart enough to fill the conditions they've placed on free grace.
It's only too bad for the brain damaged and brain diseased who do not possess the smarts it takes to fill conditions.

Interestingly enough is that passage in Mark which declares... " He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but
he that believeth not shall be damned." Mk.16:16. Because the Bible teaches there are 2 kinds of believing... assent,
which is agreement with facts and subjective believing which comes only by being raised from the spiritually dead and
given life as in Jn.3:3 and Acts 13:48, this kind of believing does not and can not eminent from man because he decides
it does. This kind of believing comes from God at the moment of redemption, Acts13:48. Being that " and is baptized "
is included in this passage we are assured that the subjective kind of believing is being spoken of... the kind spoken
of in Jn.6: This kind of baptism has nothing to do with water... it is the " washing of regeneration and renewing of
the Holy Ghost "which saves... it is not in the created things of this world which saves. Titus 3:5.

A key feature in the life of a genuinely elect child of God is that when he fall's into sin God sends him warning when
he has filled up his inequity. And with this warning comes the very real knowing in his conscience that this sin must
be repented of immediately. An illustration of this is found in 2 Sam.12 and with a commentary given us by God in
Ps.51. This does not take place in the lives of co-redeemer's. They go on with their gospel's of co-redemption never
once being convicted by God to repent of this evil scheme to save themselves by filling conditions while denying
salvation to the mentally incapable. This is the work of the Spirit of God to convict the world, that is, the elect, of
sin, Jn.16:7-11. ( The Holy Spirit certainly is not convicting today's murderous terrorists of sin... they obviously are
not included in the word " world / cosmos " in John's writing's and are therefore non-elect. )

Nonetheless, we read... " A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding Than a hundred blows into a fool. "
Pv. 17:10. " Understanding " in a metaphor of the Bible for the word " elect " since " understanding " is the
subjective knowing of God stemming from genuine redemption, whereas the Bible word " fool " is a metaphor for the
" non-elect. "
