1 | Questions about being Saved | Bible general Archive 4 | hsftang | 206563 | ||
Okay, I've been studying the bible on and off for a couple of years. To much of my disappointment, I have wavered back and forth with my faith. I do have two questions that make me stay up at night: Question 1 While Jesus was on the cross he screamed out "My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me?" If Jesus was part of the Holy Trinity (not at the time until his holy spirit was blessed upon us with his death) why did he scream that out when he WAS God. Question 2: I read in Ephesians Chapter 1 that God saves only those who he wants to save. This was predetermined before the start of the world according to the passage below. 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,..." How is it then that people can be "saved" by accepting Jesus when those who he wants to save have already been saved. |

hsftang, Welcome! see if this article Helps. Hoppy Jesus is 100 percent God, 100 percent man It is vitl to be precise when we talk of the Person of Jesus Christ. Heresy looms large on either side of the biblical road, and many a soul has fallen in to its hellishly hewned ditches. Getting it right about Christ is not merely a job for elite theologians. All of us are called upon to proclaim, herald and worship the biblical Christ. Only the biblical Christ is worthy of worship. Only the biblical Christ can save. That's because the biblical Christ is the only one who truly exists. Jesus warned us that many false Christs would appear. This is the case in two ways: Firstly, there are false Christs who appear in human history to draw away disciples after themselves; secondly, there are false Christs erected in the minds of people, such as a Christ who is God but not man, or a man, but not God. Either kind is deadly to the soul. So who exactly is the biblical Christ? The scriptures reveal very clearly that He is God and He is man. He is not a concocted blend of God and man, being perhaps 50 percent God and 50 percent man. He is full and undiminished deity and true humanity - in one Person. Exactly how can this be understood? I came across a very helpful article on this theme today from Desiring God Ministries here . I recommend it highly. May the truths govern our thinking and guide our worship, as we do so in spirit and in truth. - Pastor John Samson Hoppy |
