Subject: how to be saved |
Bible Note: disciplerami You don't agree with me completely. We are born with a sin nature. Our flesh is self centered and demanding. Watch a new born baby when it wants something it lets you know. If that behavior isn't trained out of it, as the baby grows it will become what we called spoiled brats. A small child will lie if not taught not to. They will hit or lunge out at others unless taught that is not acceptable behavior. If a baby was born with the strength of an adult it’s natural tendency would destroy anything everything around it to get with it wanted. There is no righteousness in us, it is described as filthy rags. Scriptures tells us we all sin and fall short. The word clearly states as sin entered the world through one man, and by one Man by the grace of God freed us from the curse. The difference between me and John is I believe man can learn to appreciate righteousness, just as a Baby can learn self control. I believe the Holy Spirit can/does reveal how man can obtain righteousness, showing the need for it in their life. I believe that man choose to accept or reject that offer of salvation. In that the instant man chooses salvation grace enters his life and he is saved. Since grace is at work in his life we will see righteous works become manifest in him. I believe John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” At face value. Not with the qualifiers many want to add that “world” means a “chosen few” or elect. However to agree with me you have to also believe without the salvation provided by Jesus we were all destined to damnation. EdB |
