I too had an interesting reply when once discussing the Gospel. After quoting the verse about ”believing,” the fellow stood up and proclaimed, “If that all it takes, anybody could get saved,” and left in a huff.

Galatians 4:21-31 [21] Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise...

Without His mercy, we are all doomed.The law is a mirror that convicts us all.

Is this not Christianity 101?

Much of that obedience goes unseen, in the heart. It is when we place ourselves as judge that we find the fault in others and condemn, instead of encouraging. It is most difficult to love one another, when we focus on our differences.

No one can keep any list of ‘Do’s and Don’ts apart from Jesus. He said, “You can do nothing without Me.” What is your argument? “Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?”

You seem to be saying that not all saved are saved. Clearly much in Scripture differentiates two types of faith. The object of one’s faith is at the crux of the issue. Believing that Jesus is who He says He is, and trusting that His promises are true sets each of the redeemed on the pathway to...

Amen!

I think that one of the most difficult tasks we have as students of the Bible is to know what is to be taken as literal, and what is not.

The last three words uttered by my Savior, before he died on the cross were, “It is finished.” Unfortunately, many folks want to add His statement.

Do you believe our “feelings” should be a compass for our actions?

Iv’e never heard anyone refer to Jesus as a pastor.

I think you need to go back, and read the words in red.

Disobey what?

I thought Jesus was our judge, guess I was wrong about that also.

Oh,I’m not arguing. I defer to the verse that says we all need to work out our own salvation. Whatever day you wish to call the Sabbath is fine with me.

You must have a big heart in order to have room for all those to be written upon it.

John 6:28-29 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

You sound like a fellow I worked with long ago. He attended a legalistic church where they were required to do community work to ensure their salvation. We discussed the Gospel on several occasions and he would often get exasperated after we discussed Scripture. One day I recited a verse about...

So, according to your line of reasoning, when I made a profession of faith in Jesus after attending a Billy Graham crusade in about 1960, and completed the Bible study he sent me afterwards (That took several weeks to complete all the lessons with my Church pastor) I somehow didn’t or don’t know...
