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: Obi1, I would like to suggest to you another scripture perhaps more pertinant to where you are right now: Eph 2:1 Also you--being dead in the trespasses and the sins, 2 in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath--as also the others, 4 and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,) 6 and did raise us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, 8 for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift, 9 not of works, that no one may boast;10 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk. We are dead in our sins. Nothing we can do - nothing - not any works, or attitude, or association - can bring us to God. Only because God loves us, He stretched out His hand and gave us life. This life is a gift from God that no one can earn. Not even the greatest thing you can do cannot begin to pay the price of God's forgiveness. Only death can pay the price for your - and my - sin. Jesus died for us. The salvation He gives is an eternal gift. But He only gives it to the ones who want Him so much that they will give their lives for Him, by giving Him their obedience in humilty. He calls us to come to Him, bringing nothing but our hearts, that we can be made new by Him. He has a whole life planned out for each of us to live, if we will only allow Him to work in us, and through us. We will find, if we allow Him to do this, that it is the greatest life possible, far beyond what we could have imagined, and it will just keep getting better for ever and ever. To those who reject this grace, this complete forgiveness of sins based on Jesus Christ's substitutionary death, God will also judge according to those person's works. This is what the Bible says concerning that judgment: Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them; 12 and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls--according to their works; 13 and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works; 14 and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire--this is the second death; 15 and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire. Works will not save anyone. Those not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. God told Moses "The soul that sins I will blot from My book." The only way is through Jesus, and its by grace alone. Fall at His feet, and cry for mercy. He is calling you, to give you His grace, and mercy, and peace. Love in Christ, Mark |
