    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Why do you make the death of Christ, almost out like John Calvin?

    Oh cool. You are a smart woman or man either way it goes. Quick on the whip. Are you a college student for religious studies?

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Guess this scripture can be thrown away.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Well, hope that you will one day stop sinning completely. There is a lot that one as to do to stop sinning, and that is probably having to deal with death, once it's fully grown within us.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    You'll just have to work it out for yourself. @GracePeace. Doing that here will never serve you justice, I can assure you that. May you be encouraged to continue to grow in the Lord.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Oh sure, he did lay his life down for his friends to but not only them. He ate with sinners.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Idk even know. 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. Christ's Sacrifice Once for All 10 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I just dont rely solely on sola scriptura. I am not worried about if you believe I am right or wrong. I am just stating that Jesus Christ ... laid his life down for the Father, adn the whole world. Otherwise the Gentiles would have never been brought in... So sorry if you are offended by your...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Jesus laid down his life for his Father, and the whole world, @GracePeace. I will continue to believe what I want, until proven wrong, and I might change my mind.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    No he did not take the cup of wrath. He took the cup of suffering which is different. IT doesn't make sense for the Father to pour out his wrath on his son. What was he angry about with him?

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    There are people out there that suggest "Jesus Christ death on the cross was only for those who believe", that is a lie.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    And his payment for sin still stands for them, regardless if they accept him or not. I agree with people abiding in Christ, building up their spiritual body while they are here working out their own salvation with fear and trembeling. Living by the spirit and not so much of the flesh. However...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Because of what Jesus did, he is going make everyone alive again... at the end of life. He took care of their sins whether they believe or they do not believe. You can receive deliverance by accepting, however, what he did on the cross can never be removed away. It was a payment for sin one...

    Keep working it out.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Then the scriptures are a lie about Jesus paying for everyone sins, and not just those who believe.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I am not even worried about it, just tell me what you believe and that helps a lot. It seems that you said they are resurrected to be thrown into the fire. No you did not say that, but many people do believe that.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    May Yahava, help you come to what is to be true at least. God is a consuming fire, and he burns out the darkness of the faithless that becomes faithful. They are not thrown in the lake of fire forever... not like the devil, the false prophet, and the beast. They have a part in that fire, and...

    The payment made them blank slates. Whether they enjoy God or not, is up to them. Not up to me, or you, or anyone else.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I agree. It is all about faith and love.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    I would say that God gives them life from himself, to be able to live in the heavenly realm. And that the gates of the city never close. Perhaps they are happy with what they receive, they didnt want to be with God anyway, but perhaps there is a loss and a torment that they hear the voice of God...
