James 2:19 (NIV), which says: “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.”
Matthew 7:21-23 (NIV):
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
The Bible verses seem to suggest that you lose your salvation if you’re not doing the will of god. However, I learned that the Bible usually does not mean what it says, rather it means exactly what you wanted to mean.
Matthew 7:21 is a continuation of Jesus admonition against false prophets, begun in verse 15, those who profess God but live evil lives. In that context the meaning really is rather clear. Not much more complicated than, Talk is cheap, how you live your life is what counts.
You are correct that his words are clear. I was being sarcastic as I have seen it is very common to make the Bible say exactly people wanted to say
Guess what? I’m a Messianic Jew, a beliver In JESUS. Who is the King of America. And he will not take kindly of you4 Antisemtism when tou stand before h8m on Judgement Fay.
Christianity is Jewish. This group of Jews are evil. They hate thecJewish root of Christianity. In the end, this is a JEWISH Civil War, the ideas of JESUS and the Apostles verses the ideas of the Talmuid and marx. Now,you have been properly educated. Call on JESUS today, or yo7 stand with the later.
So is most of mankind, sadly.
To be lost means to have known Christ as a Christian and then turned and fought against God afterwards. That’s what it takes to blaspheme the Holy Spirit; it’s not done out of ignorance but of knowledge.
Solman was very wise in EARTHLY wisdom, and deficient in GODLY wisdom.
That’s what I have been saying!
A Jewish cowboy, huh? Lemme guess...Shalom on the Range? Back in the Sabbath Again? Don't Eruv Me In?
The Cowboy is the symbol of the US.
Not really, you should have said a certain group promotes it. Most Jews don’t

PornHub has now disabled its website in Texas. Sites like PornHub are on the run because Texas has a law that aims to prevent them from showing harmful, obscene material to children. We recently secured a major victory against PornHub and other sites that sought to block this law from taking effect. In Texas, companies cannot get away with showing porn to children. If they don’t want to comply, good riddance.
