Bible Question (short): reply |
Question (full): Okay then you asked for it ! and if I get any nasty replies because of what I say I want all to know up front to send their comments to CDBJ...lol YES, I believe I have eternal life. I do not believe in once saved always saved, but I do believe that I am saved. I know because of my faith and that I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and He died and rose again. I also believe that Heaven as we are taught from the pulpit is not accurate from what I understand the Scriptures to mean. I believe that if I were to die tomorrow, (unless Jesus has already returned before tomorrow)my soul will return to the dust and my spirit to the Lord where I will sleep until resurrected. I believe that I will live in the New Jerusalem as long as I do not forsake GOD. I know and believe this because that is what I understand from His promises in the Holy Scriptures. It is this active belief that keeps me from forsaking the Lord. When my belief, my faith,stands still that is when I will doubt my security in eternal life. So Heaven, NO (at least not awake) the new earth when Jerusalem comes down from Heaven? YES I can break all of this down with Scripture if anyone would like for me to, I would prefer not because anytime I get into this conversation face to face it is hard enough, I can only imagine how it would be in this forum. In His Service, Cuddle PS I keep trying to post my replies as a note instead of a question, but the system will not allow me. HELP |
