1 | how long to build ark? | Gen 5:32 | CP7x77 | 2334 | ||
Noah was five hundred years old when he had his sons (before construction began) (Gen 5:32). And his sons were married when the construction began (Gen. 6:18). According to Jewish custom, a boy becomes a man when he gets his beard, so I would assume that Noah was at least 510 to 515 years old when the boys were married. When the rain began to fall, Noah was 600 years old (Gen 7:11). This leaves 85 to 90 years for Noah to build his ark. There was no shortage of time for Noah, but the amount he actually used is not clear according to scriptures. | ||||||
2 | You can lose your salvation | Luke 23:26 | CP7x77 | 2647 | ||
Unfortunately I think you are wrong this time. The doctrine of "once saved always saved" is very sound. According to Ephesians 1:4 we were chosen before the foundations of the world that we would be holy and blameless before Him. Now I believe my name is written in the Lambs book of life not on God's cosmic chalkboard where is can be erased and added depending on my sins. I was "Sealed for the day of redemption" and I will be there before the throne of God for all eternity and I hope to take as many people with me as possible. Paul talks about the peace that passes understanding. There is no peace in Christ if were are continuously being saved and losing that salvation over and over again. If that were the case we would not have a peace that passes understanding, but a mortal fear that even though were are serving Christ and spreading the Word of God, we could spend eternity in Hell. I am saved. I will always be saved. If it is not the case Christ died needlessly because his work on the Cross was insufficient to save me. Using your foxhole example: How can you be so sure that "if he is shot and killed he is going to heaven" when you think people can lose their salvation? How do you know he had salvation or if he had lost it in those first few seconds of his new life in Christ? The answer is simple. He was saved. He will always be saved. And he can have that peace that passes all understanding. CP7x77 |

3 | Baptized and the Salvation Process: | John 3:6 | CP7x77 | 2643 | ||
Amen! Amen! Amen! This is a breath of fresh air! You do not need to be baptized to be saved. The thief on the cross would be in paradise that very day and he was saved! (He was not baptized because, if you recall, he was nailed to a cross next to Jesus.) The phrase "born of water" clearly refers to the birth. "That which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is born of spirit is spirit." (John 3:6) This verse clearly shows that Jesus was talking about the birth of the flesh and the birth of the spirit (two births not baptism) Thank you again for bringing some reason to this forum! | ||||||
