95-Disputations on Romans 16:20 and the Peace of the Lord

Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Romans 16:20 NASB
"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you...."
1.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is by grace alone.

2.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is by the Spirit alone.

3.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is by the design of the Father of glory.

4.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is by the unified redemptive work of Incarnate Deity.

5.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is experiential.

6.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is positional.

7.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is cosmic.

8.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is divine.

9.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is transcendent.

10.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is immanent.

11.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is true faith.

12.)  The peace of Jesus for His people is genuine repentance.

13.)  The peace of Jesus for His people death to personal sin.

14.)  The peace of Jesus for the elect is alive to Jesus.

15.)  The peace of Jesus for the elect is reading Scripture.

16.)  The peace of Jesus for the elect is studying Scripture.

17.)  The peace of Jesus for the elect is the death of Jesus because He takes all that is contrary to peace (sin) and absorbs and nails it to Himself alone at the all-exclusive Cross of the divine Lamb of God alone.

18.)  The peace of Jesus is for the elect is mercy acquired through the divine justice satisfied on Jesus at the Cross alone but not through personal chastening by God.

19.)  The peace of Jesus is for the elect in that justice is for Jesus at the Cross in behalf of God's people alone where redemptive justice is not satisfied by fallen converted sinners but by Jesus Christ alone at the Cross.

20.)  There is a civil chastening that is not redemptive like the Cross of Jesus Christ but in some sense everything that happens to a believer is for His glory alone unto redemptive mercy: namely, the exaltation, honor and laud to Jesus alone.

21.)  Peace for the elect is the glory of Jesus unto mercy.

22.)  Peace for the reprobate is the glory of Jesus unto justice.

23.)  There is a civil peace that is not a redemptive peace.

24.)  Pre-converted elect sinners have a civil peace before a redemptive peace, but when they have a redemptive peace it is a peace that Satan cannot take away in a positional sense.  Yet in a experiential sense peace due to constant but repented sin peace can be diminished, but regained through prayer of the eldership and cessation of evil habits.

25.)  Experiential peace is through a dedicated repentance.

26.)  Divine chastening by God alone in the mind may disturb an experiential peace in some sense due to sin, but in the final analysis it strengthens experiential peace.  

27.)  Never let it cross your mind that I mean supernatural chastening atones for sins, but it could never have the spiritual power to atone for sin except Jesus at His Cross alone in light of the 11th century heresy of indulgences.

28.)  Satan hates the peace of the Lord for God's people.

29.)  Fallen angels hate the peace of God's people.

30.)  There is no peace in hell for those tormented.

31.)  There is matchless peace in heaven for those that belong to Jesus alone for His matchless mercy alone.

32.)   There is no need for any sort of discipline in heaven, because it is complete perfection and sinlessness unto mercy alone that honors Jesus' unified merit alone.

33.)  There is a peace that is seen by the world is insane.

34.)  There is a sense of peace even in great warfare.

35.)  There is a sense of peace even in great trauma.

36.)  The peace of Jesus is about design of the Father.

37.)  The peace of Jesus is about the Son's unified work.

38.)  The peace of Jesus is about the Spirit's work.

39.)  There is a sense of peace in spiritual conflict.

40.)  There is a sense of peace in Scripture devotions.

41.)  There is a peace that is a false peace.

42.)  There is peace that is better than a civil hypnotic peace.

43.)  There is a peace for the battleground of the mind.

44.)  There is a peace of elect angels in line with Jesus.

45.)  The opposite of peace is strife.

46.)  The opposite of peace is presumption.

47.)  The opposite of peace is Tower of Babel unity.

48.)  The opposite of peace is Tower of Babel disunity.

49.)  Jesus alone is the pathway to peace in every way.

50.)   Grief over pain but belief in Jesus is the right way to reflect over pain, but there is a way that reprobates grieve that does not lead to Jesus.

51.)  We are given peace by God's regenerating Spirit.

52.)  We are given peace by the truth of God in Christ.

53.)  There is a false peace among world religions.

54.)  There is a true peace among biblical Christians.

55.)  There is a false peace in baptismal regeneration.

56.)  There is a false peace in unlimited atonement.

57.)  There is a false peace in justification by death.

58.)  There is a false peace in dishonest confession.

59.)  There is a false peace in worship of Allah.

60.)  There is a false peace in worship of created gods.

61.)  There is a false peace in a created Jesus.

62.)  There is a false peace in Muhammad.  

63.)  There is a false peace in a dual equality in the ultimate powers of good and evil.

64.)  There is never peace for Satan or fallen angels.

65.)  The Father, Son and Spirit has self-existent peace that He possessed when there was just Him.

66.)  There is peace in the presence of Jesus in preaching.

67.)  There is peace in the presence of Jesus in Communion.

68.)  There is a peace in the presence of Jesus in His immediate presence but also in His omnipresence.

69.)  There is a peace that is a comfort by the Spirit of God.

70.)  There is no peace-related fellowship in the ultimate scheme of things between God and Satan, God's people and His enemies, and Satan and the King's angel armies.  

71.)  After all the pain of an unconverted or converted life for the elect by God's Spirit, but a holy Triune God is able to supernaturally heal the pain beyond pain that brings peace beyond peace that no atheistic philosopher can explain away but because of Jesus alone.

72.)   The atheist and agnostic has no peace with a holy God, but He is at war with a holy Triune God since conception.

73.)  There is a proper mourning over sin that is consistent with peace, but there is also a proper laughter that is all captive to Jesus' unified obedience of His life and death.

74.)  Peace is only so because all debt for sin is taken away.

75.)  The faithless say "Jesus Never Saves" but the faithful Christian says "Jesus Saves."  We can prove it by the self-authentication consequence of God-Speaking in divine Scripture: namely, Jesus lives in our hearts because He rose bodily from the dead.  This can be tested and proved regarding His matchless resurrection of Jesus Christ.

76.)  The washing of Jesus brings Christ-appointed peace.

77.)  Peace is not through electronic programming or experiments of the mind in mad scientists, but it is through Jesus Christ alone in how He heals the mind: namely, He heals the mind by the Word preached but also through confession of sins to trustworthy Christians.

78.)  Trust the peace of the indestructible Book alone.

79.)  Trust the theology of God-Speaking that brings peace, because it is the Word transformed to honor Jesus alone.

80.)  The Word preached in exhorting transformation is not contrary to rational presupposition in the infallible Word: namely, God's truth is a reasonable faith through His Word apart from appealing to the nature of man but to the sovereign innocence of a holy Triune God.

81.)  False peace is God's justice unto damnation.

82.)  True peace is God's mercy unto election.

83.)  Balaam never had the redemptive peace of Jesus.

84.)  Joshua possessed the spiritual peace of Jesus.

85.)  David fell into great sin, but Jesus maintained His positional peace in uncompromising faithfulness, but the experiential peace of David was tested through divine chastening of God taking his child in infancy.

86.)  God gives and God takes away: namely, in all this there is peace for the people of God due to the fact that whatsoever my God ordains is right.

87.)  The mind of a reprobate is spiritually dead, but also lacking true Spirit-indwelling peace.


88.)  Warning: it takes biblical discernment to use medicine that may affect the experiential peace of the mind.

89.)  There is a higher peace in experiential terms for Christians that obey the moral law of God in a habitual practice, but this really the striving of the Spirit with elect sinners in His outworking restraining grace and enabling believers in Christ to obey God's law unto good deeds.

90.)   Good doctrine has a great experiential peace.

91.)   False doctrine has a great false peace.

92.)  There is no civil peace for lawbreakers who civilly violate the laws of the civil magistrate in Romans chapter 13.

93.)  The civil magistrate that objects to being a servant of a holy Triune God is really a denial of the place of government in this world, but also it tends to lead to statism.

94.)   The civil peace of law enforcement is enhanced through the realization of it as the servant of Triune Deity.

95.)  The essence of true peace is true grace.


Grace and peace be unto you
From the Father through the Son by the Spirit
Unknown peace that comes from Jesus
Its the source of God-Speaking Scripture
Never known among the faithless
And only peace that avails.
