1 | And what about those who will die before | NT general Archive 1 | Dachande | 98230 | ||
If I may once again enlighten you on my... "attempt" If you are to reread carefully, I do not say that God's gift of salvation has no value... But something GIVEN, has no value... To merely GIVE salvation underminds all the teachings of Christ, and his Apostles... My attempt was not to enrage you, but to open your mind to the fact that Salvation is not free... To blindly give salvation away goes against the teachings of the prophets... For if no unclean thing can dweal in the presence of God then how is it I merely say, "I believe." and I am saved? The children of Isreal and the early Christians were constantly commaned to repent and be baptized... Why would we be COMMANDED to Repent if all I have to do is "Belive" God's gift of Salvation is the greatest gift of all, but it is not a free gift, and to presume so is ignorant to the teachings of Apostles I hope this will help humble you and know that I do not undermine the greatness of God, but glorify Him in exponding the importance of His Son, Jesus Christ... If I offended you I am sorry, but I am not sorry for the teachings of the Apostles and Prophets |

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. If it isn't free, it's not a gift. For example, wages are not a gift. Wages are earned. So is it a gift or is it wages? Nowhere do the apostles or prophets teach that salvation is earned or merited. We are saved by Grace (God's UNMERITED favor). Before you try to remove the mote that is in Hank's eye, better deal with the beam that is in your own. --Radioman2 |

Greetings Radioman2! I know that you already know, but let's not forget Rom. 4:4: "Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation." Apparently, Paul thought that a gift was free - since he distinguished between a gift and a wage! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
