Subject: What would prompt these tears? |
Bible Note: Tim, Hank, Mammapbs and BradK and anyone else who believes in this philosophy of salavation through Grace only, without works or being fruitful in God's vineyard, please explain to me the following. 1) First of all, why bother to participate on the Forum? Why not just kick back and enjoy life? Take a vacation and count your blessings. Sure, go to worship when you can and it's convenient to you but no real sweat there either. You've been guaranteed your Home in Heaven, right? 2) Please expalin to me the reconciliation of the parable of Jesus with the story of the vine and His being the branch AND your NOT being fruitful in contrast to the scriptures. 3) Please explain to me how you plan to prove to Christ, to God or to anyone else including Judgment Day IF you're NOT fruitful as shown in John 15:8. 4) What was Christ talking about in Rev 2:10 by our being faithful? Wonder if one of you is NOT faithful sometime in the future, what then? How is this guarantee fulfilled then? 5) Finally, how do you plan to get around the fact that we'll all be judged by ALL of Words of Christ AND ALL of the Words of His official representatives, as written down in the NT? There are other questions but believe it or not, I'm trying to restrain myself. Please explain these answers to these questions as I've asked before with scriptures in support. I'd really appreciate it and God bless all of you. --Rowdy |
