Subject: Is belief in the bible needed to be save |
Bible Note: Hello hetfield, You sure are sending some mixed signals! In your last post you made this comment, “Beking saved means to have eternal life with Christ. How to be saved is to put your faith in Christ, John 3:16. Why use the bible? Because I belief it to be accurate, useful and reliable.” On your first post you said this, “It is my opinion that the new testament in accurate, useful and reliable but not "the word of God". That doesn’t even make sense! If the New Testament isn’t God’s intended thought put in writing, as you suggest, i.e. the Word of God, why would you bother believing it. According to your way of thinking if it’s not the Word of God it could all be a hoax! I don’t claim to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but at this point you have me thoroughly confused. You are saying you are saved, yet you don’t think its God Word; then whose word is it and who devised the plan? 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Those that "don’t believe" those verses aren’t making the writers of the New Testament liars; they are calling God a liar because it’s His recorded record and plan, i.e. God's Word! Have a nice day, CDBJ |
