Subject: What exactly must a person to be saved? |
Bible Note: "Christians can't sin and they can't lose their salvation." I sin every day. 'But now you say, "train your children to be servants of God." A true understanding of Scripture shows this is folly.' Folly? Folly...where do we see a great deal of discussion of wisdom and folly? Oh, I know: Proverbs. "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." --Proverbs 22:6 So who is the foolish one for suggesting that we train our children to be servants of God? Let's see if any of the other thousands of Bible verses support such a "foolish" idea... "If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." --Joshua 24:15 "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." --Deuteronomy 6:6-9 "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." --Ephesians 6:4 Yes, what a fool I am! :) "But when given a new heart, the Holy Spirit did this, then reading brings understanding." But such understanding is not automatic. There are plenty of Christians who disagree on what the Bible teaches. Both have the Holy Spirit, but they both can't be right. "The truly born again can't DO sin." So you are sinless? --Joe! |
