Hi Godisalie:
Godis >> So what IS the point of this forum?
This forum appears to be established to give unbelievers every opportunity to interact with believers, so you can gather something from our perceived insanity. :0)
Godis >> If you guys don't want nonchristians to question you, why do you open it to nonchristians at all? It's stupid.
Ask any question you wish.
Godis >> Don't refer to us as "those who aren't saved by christ", because how is some guy gonna save our souls? We're fine how we are, and it's just derogatory.
Jesus Christ is the “Son of God” (John 1:34) “found in appearance AS A MAN” (Philippians 2:8), but something very much more than a mere man. :0) The fact is that many disgruntled Christian-bashing souls are saved already and are simply in denial of their salvation, while at the very same time many people thinking they are saved are very must lost and baptized into the mystery of iniquity (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12). People today are saved by God’s grace through faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9), upon ‘hearing’ (Romans 10:17) and believing (Ephesians 1:13-14) our gospel for today. Jesus Christ is Lord and God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9) on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Your redemption is “IN” Christ (Romans 3:24) and your forgiveness is through His precious blood (Ephesians 1:7). Why? That answer is really very simple: Because God says so. :0) Obedience to our “Word of the Cross” (1 Corinthians 1:18) gospel message is all about “believing God,” just like men have been doing and not doing since the very beginning. If you prefer to stand and shake your fist as The Almighty (Revelation 1:8), then do not allow anyone here to stand in your way. The fact is that God is the only game in town, because heaven and earth will soon pass away (Revelation 20:11). If God Himself has called you to become a son of God, then these seeds of truth have already been sown into your being with the “faith of Jesus” (Romans 3:26) that enables you to ‘believe’ the message of truth. If you are not called to become a member of Christ’s body, then good luck having that fist shaking contest with our Creator. :0) In Christ Jesus even now,Terral
