That's how salvation happens, we surrender our will to his. Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake...

What in the world are you talking about? If there wasn't a hell or separation from God, why do we need to be reconciled to God by Christ's sacrifice? You just babble on and never say anything.

What are we saved from? Why did Christ have to die if everyone is gonna end up in paradise anyway?

How is it different? God offers salvation to all. Titus 2:11 But there's a condition: belief. (By grace, through faith) Then, one receives the promise: Eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal...

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who...

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. If you don't do these things, will God save you anyway? " If" you do this, then that will happen. You can't get around the requirements.

No, the main conviction is of unbelief. All other sins stem from this one. It flat out says they are convicted of sin, no matter how you try to wiggle around it.

There's a vast difference between every thought being evil and having an evil imagination, but that's not even my point. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young...

" it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved." You say: " does say anything about what you say that God needs any ones permission or gets to have permission from sinful man." What part of the necessity of faith and confession for salvation do...

It's exactly like that. Saying it's blackmail is just foolishness. An illustration: My father gave me a piece of land. I did not ask for it to be given to me, I didn't earn it in any way, but I also did not refuse it. That's grace. Now, I could certainly have said: "I refuse your charity and...

I don't see how you get a multiplicity out of that prayer. In fact in confirms that Jesus and the father are one. But maybe I'm missing what you see in it.

That makes no sense. If there's no hell, Christians didn't curse anyone to hell. Not that they did anyway. People curse themselves to hell.

Scripture said what? Who is this contemporary audience? Jesus would not be negating other scripture by this story, no. But he certainly would if he taught soul sleep.

Can you tell me what the question was?

If you want to see it that way, then: Whatever floats your boat, but that's what scripture teaches. There's a difference between causing something to happen and having to have a certain condition for it to happen. There's a difference between doing a job and requiring a handshake from the...

If they are convicted, of thier sin, they have opportunity to confess and repent. There's no difference there at all. And you have not shown otherwise.

No mature Christian would deny that Jesus is God. We pray in his name. I pray to him directly, as God, not as some high angel. There's a reason this has been considered heresy since 325 AD. The Bible teaches that Jesus is equal in nature to God the Father. Jesus is the Creator of everything -...

No, Jesus accepted worship as God. No mere human would do that unless he were evil. Jesus and the father are one. He had no beginning.

Again with the genisis verse? You are pushing a form of total depravity that isn't the current reality. All man's facilities are corrupt, but that doesn't mean his every thought is evil, unless we are speaking of people who have already totally rejected God. If that were the case now, God would...

Of course you decide whether to allow God to do that work of salvation in you. If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
