What?
The Lord Jesus Christ As The Main Character, and also of God's Two-Fold
What belief are you talking about, btw? Could you be saved by belief alone, no matter how heartfelt it may be?
We need salvation, bear that in mind! God is calling all of us to come to Him - His prescription in this regard. No doubt God is the one who does the saving job, but we need to come to Him to avail ourselves of the salvation He will grant to those who will follow Him obediently until the end.
Jesus didn’t say salvation is a gift, did He? In fact, He obliges all to come to and follow Him until the end so that salvation becomes attainable [to us].
What you’re saying here is a lie! Jesus alone decides when He will grant salvation to those who come to Him - those that He still shepherds and guides to their salvation and eternal life.
You’re guessing things that are beyond your capacity to grasp their reality and existence; you’ve not heard anything yet from God about these things, have you? How did you come up with this idea?
The phrase ‘accounted in what’ is purely Jesus’ decision to make while He is shepherding His sheep, not yours for you to expound in your own capricious whim! No one is entitled to this job of evaluation but Jesus alone.
Litanies save us not, do they?
You’ve not gone up to heaven yet, yet you speak as if you were there with Jesus, knowing pretty well that you’re just reading and studying the Bible.
Main Character for what? Who are the other characters?
Where did you get the notion of ‘God's Two-Fold
Could you please summarize in one sentence the things that you’re pointing out in your narratives above?
That God who saved them is Jesus Christ, the Almighty God who incarnated in the NT by the name Jesus.
Jesus saves because He is the Almighty God.
Those litanies you mentioned, no matter how heartfelt you cited them in your prayers, still save you not, unless you come to Jesus and follow Him until the end.
Ignorance exists only outside Jesus’ tutelage and shepherding job to His sheep, across all ages. Where are thou this time?
You’re not Jesus, how do you say ‘All Scripture IS True!’ knowing you’ve heard nothing yet from Jesus?
How will you do what He did?
Jesus did not define the scriptures the way you do, did He?
Come first to Jesus; how could you follow Him without coming first to the Lord?
Listen first to Jesus and do everything as He instructed you.
The true knowledge resides only in the Lord whose name is Jesus. Bear that in mind, will you?
For Eternal Redemption of all of the Unsaved characters written In The Bible, and for all thereafter who hear God's Good News!
Simply "click on the link" and prayerfully / Carefully read the 69 pages found in:
Your phrase, ‘His words’ is no doubt the bible where you personally invested much of your time in learning [by yourself alone] about the Lord, etc., etc., etc., do I get you right? Since the bible is not the Lord, how then could you have the right knowledge about the Lord by and through the pages of the bible?
Look, who’s speaking carnal logical response, knowing you’ve not heard anything yet from God? Could we expect true spiritual knowledge from someone whose source of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ is supposed to be God, but in reality, the litanies he fabricated from biblical passages take the place of God?
Your narratives, wittingly or unwittingly, portray the things that only the Savior can prescribe, and they come to me in that negative manner.
Salvation does not come by simply believing what has been read and learned in the pages of the bible, which you believe to be the basics of salvation, hence, it’s a lie!
The Scriptures are not God. They testify to the reality of Jesus so that we, readers, may come to Him (Jesus) for our salvation and eternal life. Carnal mind is totally in absentia to those whose Pastor and Teacher is the real and forever living Christ Jesus, who is beside us at all times, though we do not yet see Him.
True knowledge comes and emanates only from the real and forever living Christ Jesus. Let’s all come to Jesus for these things, shall we?
Gotcha! Noted is your opinion, but with reservations, of course!
Nothing! I learned that from Jesus, btw!
Again, noted is your opinion, but with reservations, of course!
Okay! Good day 2u!
What role does the bible [which you over- magnified to ‘The Big Picture’] play in the Salvation Work of the real and forever living Christ Jesus? Why do you say the bible is ‘The Big Picture?’
It’s too much, don’t you think so? Jesus’ call is plain and simple, to wit:
He already called it!
