The Writers said, they copied the words down what king james said in parliment!

They said, they have never read a Bible before so had no idea if king james was correct or not.

And you are basing your Salvation off of that hahahahahahahahaha

The stupid is real around here!

I will, but need to run for a second.


But tell me this, if the KJV writers are correct and the KJV is not a Bible, do you feel secure by going what a paraphrase says for your Salvation?

Nothing????

Asking Jesus into your heart is not really how one should be sharing the Gospel.

And once again I connected conditions with works... none of what you have stated above is a work.

But you did mention suffering for Jesus as a condition of salvation, that would be a work and no where are we called to merit salvation by our suffering.

That wasn’t the scenario though. If one can hold onto a rope, was he really drowning?

Yes it happens. There are such things as LIFE PRESERVERS whereby one throws the ring to the drowning person to pull them to safety if one can not safely enter and leave the water. I did Red Cross Life Guard training and there are also other apparatus devises whereby the person needs to exercise themselves to be saved.

Surprised you never heard of a life preserver.

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Again, a verse saying what we should do (hope) ... but not the cause of our hope. Specifically was the cause:
1) God changing our hearts like Ezekiel 36:26
or
2) we, of our libertarian free will desire to hope (there is not verse to quote for this postulate

I didn’t say conditions are works either. You assumed that.
 
DorothyMae said:
Do you share in his sufferings? If so, how.

It says IF we share in his sufferings. That’s a conditional promise meaning we must DO something for our part. OSAS always skips the conditions required to receive the promise.

.This, by the way, is not what you said God said. You are changing your story.

It is right here in this post.

Is suffering a condition to receive the promise?

I didn’t write that verse. If you don’t like it you need to take it up with God. Remind Him that you don’t need to suffer or do anything close to w o r k. No praying cause that’s work. No reading the Bible cause reading is work. No loving God or man cause that is a lot of work.

I’m sorry that’s a bit sarcastic but do you see there’s like a knee jerk reaction to anything close to exercising faith shown in working in some fashion in your responses? Don’t you see that if you love Him, it’s not like working works?

How is praying suffering? We are talking about suffering let us stay focused please.

No, you did not write the verse but you should be able to support your position and state a yes or a no?

So then according you and your understanding of that verse "suffering" is necessary to receive the promise of salvation?
