Bible Question:
Thanks again children for trying to answer my questions on Matt.16:15-20 Some TRUTHS came out but still generalisation as usual. This scripture is SO IMPORTANT ! The whole of the catholic church is built upon it ! Oh, by the way, practicly ALL christian churches that today exist are a sect of the catholic church, and NO Iam NOT a catholic ! GOD is a GOD of order and so is HIS SON JESUS CHRIST ! GOD does not change to suit the DOCTRINES of men ! HE is the same from the begining as in the end. HE has always spoken to us through prophets. HE has always been organized. HIS SON JESUS CHRIST called special witnesses.(APOSTLES) The TRUTH has been corrupted and tampered with by men ! HOW MANY TIMES has the bible, GOD´S WORD been translated, changed, interpreted by so called scholars and theologists and philosophers and interlects ???? HOW MANY VERSIONS ARE THERE ??? Confusion REALLY EXISTS !!! OH ! By the way, because some children find it a waist of time to find the TRUTH, THEY DON´T !! WHO IS MY ? It´s JESUS CHRIST !!!!!!! The catholics think Peter was the ROCK, we know he was´nt. He went on to deny knowing JESUS, THREE times ! So, which FOUNDATION was JESUS refering to ??? I await your wonderful efforts Brothers and SISTERS . OH, by the way, I´m a sinner, I believe in JESUS CHRIST and I AM NOT SAVED. I cannot say I am SAVED, I have´nt been at the JUDGEMENT BAR yet. I have HOPE in JESUS CHRIST. I strive to overcome and endure to the end. I strive to LOVE ,TRUST and OBEY !!! If ye say ye are without sin, ye LIE and the TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU. GOD BLESS, Obi1kanobi. |
Bible Answer: Obi, humbledbygrace has sufficiently revealed your ploys and tactics so I don't feel the need to further expose you. I would like, however, to take one comment you made in your post that humbled didn't touch on and try and reveal the most important truth of all regarding your position and condition. You wrote: "I believe in JESUS CHRIST and I AM NOT SAVED" You say you believe, great; and then you boldly confess that you are not saved. Let us let the scriptures, the Truth, reveal who you are then and what you stand for. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder. (NIV) Now I am not saying that you are a demon, not at all. But your eternal condition is the same, yet you do not shudder. This is arrogance. So before you can know the truth you must discard the arrogance and humble yourself. As you mature, you will find just how beneficial humility can be, especially as you leave the world of the class room and enter into adult life and all of the responsibilities that will follow. So I want to give you some truth, not from me but, from the scriptures; from God Himself. Rom 10:9-10 "...if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. (NIV) You see, one can believe "in" Jesus as you claim, but only when you make Him your Lord will you be saved. Don't take my word for it. Read the verses from the bible, meditate on it, and receive it from God. After all, it is only God himself who can reveal this truth to you. He himself has said so very plainly. If you don't believe me refer to Matt. 16:15-20 This portion of scripture talks plainly about this truth. "on this rock" our Lord says. On believing in who I am, Jesus said, which can only be revealed to you in truth by my Father in Heaven He teaches so wonderfully and eloquently. Obi, read this, understand it, believe it, and confess it and you too will be given the keys of the kingdom of Heaven which are in Jesus Christ the man, Jesus Christ our Lord, and never ever, the denomination of the Church of Jesus Christ. God Bless you Obi, and may you find the truth though you stray far from it. Sincerely, Jeff |
