Bible Question:
Hello Deep input, I hope that you at least watched the show. Also keep in mind that confusion about which religion is really true is no more excusable than confusion concerning counterfeit money. Just as we are expected to know the key features of our money, we are also warned about false Christs. We are not warned of false Jehovah, mind you, but again, false Christs. I do agree with you concerning unholiness in the church. Having the right religion is not the major factor. However, have the right Christ is the one most crucial factor for salvation. Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. What does this verse mean to you Deep input? Brother Glenn |
Bible Answer: Hello Brother Glenn, What does Joh 8:24 mean to me? I know that I am a sinner. I know that the world is lost. I understand that through Adam and Eve God could not have the type of relationship that He wanted. I know the only way He could have this was by the shedding of blood. There was nothing that man could do to make this relationship right. I understand that it is not by works but by grace through faith that saves us from His wrath. I know Jesus is that Lamb that shed His blood making it possible for God to have the relationship with the world that He desires. I know Jesus is the only way. Now we both know that there is still His wrath to come. Joh 3:16 says God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son and who so ever believes in him will not parish but have everlasting life. There is also a world that God hates. 1joh 2:15 do not love the world, jas 4:4 friendship with the world is enmity with God. There is world that God loves and a world that God hates. I have been asking God for several years which is which. He has been giving answers has I have been able to understanding. I know I am a child, but I want to grow up. I am seeing very little difference between one of these worlds and modern christianity. Both believe in Christmas, both believe in patriotism, and so on. The Jehovah Witnesses are different from the world and modern day Christianity. The question then becomes, Is the world that modern day christianity is attached to the one that God loves or hates? Is it right to pledge our allegenece to anyone or anything but God? |
