Quoting: a passing cloud You can never work your way to heaven. You are already a sinner and need Jesus Christ. If you trust in Him and what HE did for you to pay for your sins and believe that He died and rose again you are saved. That is the ONLY way anyone will ever be saved. You must obey the Gospel. You cannot work your way to heaven. It is impossible because you are already a sinner. |

(OP) User ID: 75488670 United States 09/30/2018 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES. ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN? There are some things that you should know: 1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior: Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" It all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain, which this world sees, is the result of sin. 2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross: Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us." Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Lying, stealing, sex before marriage, pride, hatred, ect. are all sins. Hell is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already sinned, which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the President can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die. You won’t have to pay for your own sins because Jesus already did that for you. But if you reject the pardon that He offers, you will have to pay for your own sins by going to hell. 3. If you will confess Jesus Christ is the Lord, place your Faith in Him and Believe in your heart that He died and rose again for your sins, you will be saved (from hell). Eph 2:8,9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.." You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus, believing in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins and placing your Faith in Him. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through trusting in what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you in faith. Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR YOUR SINS? ARE YOU WILLING TO PLACE YOUR FAITH IN HIM FOR SALVATION? Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 4. If you want to accept Jesus free gift of salvation, or if you have any doubts about whether or not you are going to heaven, you could place your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation by praying a simple prayer: ”Dear Lord Jesus I believe that You are the Lord and believe in my heart that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I repent and turn to You, placing my Faith in You as Lord of my life, Please save me and I thank You for it, in Jesus holy name, Amen.” If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven. Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism. |

(OP) User ID: 75488670 United States 10/04/2018 07:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP - You're almost right. Your Protestant view of salvation is a little silly, though. The idea that you can accept Christ one time and then have eternal security makes no sense, because you can and will continue to sin after your born again moment. You must continuously recognize and confess your sins and do penance for them. Quoting: Lord of the Sheeple Salvation is a process, not a one-and-done event. Don't cheat yourself or be fooled into thinking otherwise. EXCELLENT POST. The 'once saved always saved' cult is dangerous. That's false. It's clear in the Bible that we are once saved always saved. We are SEALED by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. To be sealed is to be secured: Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 2Co 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. |

User ID: 76516148 United States 10/21/2018 01:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | even the bible says "Heaven" is the sky above the earth we aint goin no where but a hole in the ground Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75472993 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV The dead rot in the ground and know nothing temporarily, but there will be a resurrection for the saved in Heaven/the other side at some point. The dead aren't asleep in the grave. Even the bible contradicts itself on that one. The 'dead' are more awake and alive than you and I are. Active. Awake. Alive. The Jewish had differing opinions sometimes as do we. The Pharisees believed in life surviving death via the soul. But the Sadducees believed death was a final end. Read John 48 to 72. Jesus slowly revealed himself, starting at his first miracle enhancing the blessing of sacramental marriage, then to Baptism and finally to communion and finally just before the ascention, in giving the Keys of the Kingdom to Peter, he establishes the Priesthood and says :Thou art Peter(rock_)and upon this Rock, I build MY CHURCH... whatever you tie on earth is tied in heaven; what ever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. In Luke 13:1;5 He says to do penance or perish as well. The MOST important is John:48-72. Unless you EAT MY FLESH and DRINK MY BLOOD you will not enter into the kingdom...At this many, except for the apostles, left.This is why confession is so important to Catholics:before one can receive Communion, one must be clean of Mortal sin(Mort means death or a sin bad enough to bring damnation to the soul, suchas abortion, adultery, etc). Communion is the priests consecration of the bread and wine into Jesus body and blood as He did at the last supper and said, in the original text, emphatically,DO THIS in memory of me.(because, He said unless you do this you have no life in Him). You have to read Johns chapters: 14 (Let not your heart be troubled),15(I am the vine)16, and 17, Jesus'beautiful prayer for (us) His disciples, where it says He wants us to be one with Him as He is like one with the Father, which is why we consume Him in communion, to be ONE with Him and thus one with the Father... amdg Forgiveness means giving up every hope for a better past, In exchange for a better future. P.S. Ive always had an American Flag, now all of a sudden you gave me a Canada one. ?? Please whoever did this change it back. Not that free Ojibwe/Chippewa acknowledge any imaginary boundry lines... |
