Bible Question:
To all the Forum: How many have you led anyone to Jesus Christ altely? Is that not our number one purpose? I enjoy our open opinions, about what salvation is or is not, an if baptism is part of completing salvation, and even about works, and I can dig election and predestination. I like knowing how you all feel about which Bible is THE Best. What I can't understand is how complecated some make it to let Jesus Christ become a persons Saviour! Honest to pete I would hate to be with some of you in a sand doon in Egypt with no water and almost ready to die of thurst! You offer no hope and NO GOOD NEWS! Correct me if I am out of sink with this new gospel, but last time I knew GOSPEL ment GOOD NEWS! I am sure glad the Lord is mercifull and forgivening as He is. Because some of you if, you were in cahrge a lot of us might spend eternity in hell. Yes all the things you mention are very important! But salvation plus faith equals SALVATION. If not than for centuries the Gospel was wrongly presented. I agree that repentance, baptism, and maturing are all part of growth. I remind you a baby begins life when sperm and egg unite! That is life, at the very earliest. But the rest has a proper order. Some are so picky that it seems salvation is based on my attaching myself to the womb and growing. Not so dear friends. Think about if you are a choosen one who have you led to Christ lately? Quite quibbling about how many angels can sit on a head of a needel. I welcome all KIND coments. agape, justme |
Bible Answer: Salvation is easy (it's unearned!) but following Christ (Paul's race) is difficult. The Bible doesn't contradict itself, but it has some more than a few paradoxes and opposing tensions. Your embryo metaphor makes the opposite point of of Jesus's own seed parable.... seeds on rocky soil, shallow roots etc. Growth is needed would seem to be the point. But I'm sure there are umteen verses in Galations and Romans that would easily counter that point. My yoke is easy?....... Hmmm. |
