Subject: Mark 16:16 what does it say? |
Bible Note: Greetings Raven! Allow me to be blunt my friend! You are ignoring the plain statements of Scripture and reading things into the rest of Scripture. Why do I say this? Consider the two passages you quote. 1) Mt. 6:24-27 says that the man who does them will be LIKE a wise man. No where does this passage say that one must do these thing in order to be saved. 2) Mt. 6:21-23 says that there will be many who say...., but it never says that they ever called upon the Lord. You wrote: "You have to do somthing to be able to stand justified before the Lord!" This is exactly the opposite of what Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 4, Galatians, ect..., all say. There is nothing that you can do to stand justified before the Lord. He did all that could or needed to be done when He died on the cross. I really don't understand why this concept is so hard to grasp! p.s. - Concerning the picking and choosing, you will have to battle that one out with Joe - I'm not a calvinist! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
