Some more thoughts on Salvation: Who was Paul writing to in Ephesians 2? Was he not instructing the Gentiles that while prior to Jesus dying on the cross they had no hope for salvation, but now, through no effort of their own, God had (has) given them the opportunity? Like a father giving their child a car, that child may not have deserved a car, however, they received one without having to pay a penny for it. The problem, however, exists that for the child to benefit from that gift they must maintain it, buy gas for it, purchase insurance, etc. Without the child's continuing efforts, their ability to receive any benefit from that car ceases to exist. So to with salvation. |

Raven, I quite agree that in your analogy, the child whose father gave him a car (salvation) will not enjoy his car (salvation) as much if he is lax in his stewardship, but he still has the car (salvation). --Hank | ||||||

If I were a betting man (although I am not) I would place my vote with the man who loved God and was not lax in obeying His commands. He will make it to paradise whether you are correct or not. Pray with a sincere and open heart, Hank, and God will send you someone to show you a more excellent way. |

What brass you have, my friend! What presumption! I have been a Christian for 53 years. Who are you to say to me, "Pray with a sincere and open heart, Hank, and God will send you someone to show you a more excellent way"? --Hank | ||||||

You respond to my question with a question. That's not the way the game is played on this forum. Answer my question! What right do you have to say to a Christian member of this forum that God will send him someone to show him a more excellent way? You hide behind total anonymity. What IS your 'more excellent way'? State clearly what is on your mind and cease with the riddles. --Hank | ||||||
