Be happy that you show your holiness before others, because their approval is all the reward you'll ever get. I am happy to be spiritually weak, because God's strength is rendered perfect in my weakness. I thank Him wth gratitude, and hope you enjoy your reward.
Um, yeah. What part of the article wasn't Biblically true?
Now you get it! Congratulations!
This is what I was expecting. I appreciate you not dragging this out for a hundred posts before we got down to the truth.
You hit the nail on the head. It is pagan.
I’m hardly under Satan’s dominion.
Praise the Lord!
I don’t think I left anything unsaid. Continue to be right in your own eyes.
So,as a Jew I am a slave to sin?
I used to be a Christian but I will not go back.
I believe in the one true G-d of Torah. He is the only One I need.
No one can die for the sins of another.
No,I do not know Jesus as the savior.
I am a Jew and I will accept no one but G-d.
Jesus plays no part in my life.
Personal perceptions don't count. Unless you can give an example from the article that is not Biblically correct, you have no case.
I don't recall. Does God say that some are excluded from the truth that He wrote?
If you were not born a Jew, but chose to become one, did that involve you rejecting Christ, or did you never really know Him to begin with?
Your problem is with God. And you will never win that battle.
Uh, no Jack.
Repentance precedes faith.
We understand faith as
3[2] For our part, the specifics of faith are these: (1) There is one God, the divine Trinity exists within him, and he is the Lord God the Savior Jesus Christ. (2) Believing in him is a faith that saves. (3) We must not do things that are evil - they belong to the Devil and come from the Devil. (4) We must do things that are good - they belong to God and come from God. (5) We must do these things as if we ourselves were doing them, but we must believe that they come from the Lord working with us and through us. The first two points have to do with faith, the second two have to do with goodwill; and the fifth has to do with the partnership between goodwill and faith, the partnership between the Lord and us. (True Christianity ~ Emmanuel Swedenborg)
Need Scripture to support the assertion.
quit looking in the rear view mirror and focus towards G-d-—you will be ok. The scriptures that you gave all relate to acknowledgment of the battle that we face,, but if we keep our eyes forward, we will be ok. satan is a tool, and has already been defeated.
Your perception of what this article is about could not be more wrong. It is about the necessity of salvation, then after salvation the choice of the saved person to submit his dreams and desires and will to the will and plan of God for his life.
That's all. And yes, the fact that there is only one road to the Father and to salvation and eternal life hits nerves and makes people uncomfortable and angry, but all we have is the road that God has provided.
That is all this article is about.
Matthew 4:17 NKJV
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Mark 1:15 NKJV
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
Mark 6:12 NKJV
So they went out and preached that people should repent.
Luke 13:3 NKJV
I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
Luke 13:5 NKJV
I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." Luke 16:30 NKJV
And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Luke 17:4 NKJV
And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
