Admin	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 11 Oct, 2012 03:13 PM The Bible tells us that when we die we will spend eternity (a very long time, wouldn�t you agree?) in either paradise or torment. Matthew 25:46. If we search the Bible, with an open mind and heart, we will discover what God says about how to gain eternal life in heaven. If not, maybe we are relying upon what friends or family or churches have taught or told us. Is this wise? Or should we investigate for ourselves? If you were buying a car, would you rely upon what you were told or would you check it out for yourself? If you were buying a home, would you rely upon what you are told or would you check it for yourself? Eternity is much more important than earthly matters. Let�s look at what God says, week by week, to see how what we might think compares with what the Bible says. Then, remember, God promises that if we seek him we will find him! I Chronicles 28:9, II Chronicles 15:2, Proverbs 8:17. We will go through the New Testament of the Bible, week by week, stopping at each of the hundreds of verses that tell us how we might gain eternal life in heaven. But, first, let us spend a moment considering whether or not the Bible is true, and inspired by God, as it declares in II Timothy 3:16, or whether it is a pack of fairy tales, as some would contend. If the Bible is not true, such a search is without any value. But, if the Bible is true, and God does tell us in the Bible how to gain eternal life and avoid eternal torment, then this is the most important search that any of us will ever conduct. There are many proofs that the Bible is true, but let me mention a few. The center of the Bible is Jesus and the key question here is whether or not he rose from the dead, as the Bible says. If he did, I think this would prove the Bible is true, don�t you? Will you be writing out today�s date at any time? 2007 means 2007 years from the birth of Jesus. Something important must have happened back then to establish our dating system. And, do you notice a difference between the Christian countries of the world and the countries that have been plagued by false religion? If not, I suggest you turn on your television news this evening and you may notice some differences. And, finally, let us consider the disciples. All but one of the remaining eleven died a martyr�s death for teaching that Jesus was God. These men knew whether Jesus rose from the dead or not because they were there. Did they die a martyr�s death to protect a lie? If so, for what conceivable reason? Next week let�s consider what may be the greatest outside proof of the Bible�s truth and then we�ll begin to look at verses that tell us how to gain God�s great gift of eternal life in paradise! Before we start looking at salvation verses, let�s look at a great proof of the truth of the Bible. How do we know the Bible is true and not one of the other multitude of false religions? Let�s consider prophecy. Most of the false religions of the world do not even attempt prophecy and those that do invariably get it wrong. Humanism, the man centered religion of today�s elite, and many others, published its �Bible�, the Humanist Manifesto I, in 1933. Within 40 years, in 1973, it had to be rewritten (the Bible has never been rewritten) as their first �Bible� couldn�t even accurately predict 40 years hence. And, these scholars are still rewriting the �Bible� they couldn�t quite get straight (and never will). But in the real (i.e. Christian) Bible are hundreds of prophecies, most already fulfilled to the letter with only a few yet to be fulfilled. For example, thousands of years ago it was predicted that Jerusalem would be destroyed, the Jews exiled and scattered and persecuted, and that the Jews would again be drawn to Israel to there recreate their nation (which occurred in 1948). The Bible also foretold that Israel (a tiny nation no bigger than most of our states), as we approach the end of time, would become the center of world history--and if you don�t believe that incredible prophecy is being fullfilled before your very eyes, just pick up and read any newspaper any day of the week. See http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com for references to these and many other prophecies. I think we should worry a lot less about today�s maddening political situation, which God will deal with in His time, and a lot more about where you and I will spend eternity. The Bible, for example, has a lot to say about what will happen in the Mideast in the coming years - - but more importantly it has much more to say about where you and I will spend eternity.

(7) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (9) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (10) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: I did not interpret anything. God's word is God's word. He gave it i believe it. You and your religion deny it and make a mockery of God, professing to be a christian and following heresy and promoting heresy is a mockery to God and his word. Post Reply
View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 13 Oct, 2012 01:04 PM "Everyone that reads this Thread can see where you are starting to be harrassing, but YOU have to still Prove" Still insulting I see. You have continued to attack mine and other's character while screaming out that you are a victim. Who am I to judge? God tells us to judge righteously and your conduct has not been Christian in this thread. "You call me Liar on here, Cause my,faith does not line up with Yours." How you can still make this claim with the mountain of evidence against it is beyond me. I call you a liar because you continue to lie. "Let God judge... You are not the one who knows and understands everything in Scripture." The hypocrisy here....YOU ARE JUDGING! You are claiming to be right? What is it that you aren't understanding? I have explained this in simple terms over and over and over again. The fact that you are still saying this type of thing shows your heart. "You are really gettting harrassing...with the attacks of name calling..." You are really getting insulting with the attacks on my character and misrepresentation of facts. Ex. GU types something..Dove twists it into something it wasn't in order to make GU look insulting and judgmental, mean, etc...GU tells her over and over to stop misrepresenting him...Dove in the face of many corrections to her slander still continues to post the slander. Dove does not at all seem to care that she is twisting words. "I am a child of God not a liar and I do not believe God told you to post all of that either." God calls many people liars. Guess what? If you lie repeatedly you own the title. Don't blame me for your lies. "Our defense is always to be gven in Love Nevr in Degrading terms like a few has done here on this Post." So truth doesn't need to be defended but now it does? It'd be nice if you at least admitted you were wrong on this. "If you do not agree with my faith...Please do not Result to calling me Not a Child of God." You continue to post this lie. I've seen no reason to consider you a child of God in spite of your bad theology. Post Reply

Pointing an unbeliever to Christ is the most loving action one can make. Donna I am a Believer and a Child of God. There is not need for You to rebuke me because you are a reformer and I am a born again christian and you interpret the sciptures differently. What action of Love is it to tell me I am not a True believer . Because God knows that I am. Post Reply

View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 13 Oct, 2012 01:13 PM "Seems you get Upset when I dont agree with YOU . And Resort to personal attack." Pot meet kettle "calling Me a liar." If the shoe fits.... "Cut and paste the quotes where I have "insulted you" Go back and count up all of the times that I said you are a "liar"." I've called her a liar several times in hopes that she would stop lying. Now she is blaming others for my actions which is just a continuance of her misrepresentations of others. "You must feel you have to teach Me and those are viewing the Way you interpret Scripture is the correct way to interpret Scriptures. You dont have to try and Degrade me to Prove your are correct. Is that a witness for the Kingdom!!!" Nothing more than a broken record and it's all a show for the viewers. You want so badly for them to agree that you are being unfairly criticized that this is all you keep posting over and over. Nevermind the fact that it's not true. I have messaged the moderator about these actions as well. Post Reply

Yes I am accusing you of bearing false witness against TBK and I. It's very likely you have against Donna as well but I haven't read that exchange. You have been asked repeatedly to stop. You wonder why we continue to come back and post and it's because you continue to make things up and misrepresent us, hoping the viewers will see us as bad people and you a victim. That much is obvious. Honestly, at your age, you should be beyond that. I'm sure you will see that as an insult too, but this whole thread bears witness to your childish ways. You think I am insulting but these are things taught in scripture. Jesus, Paul, etc criticized people when they did the same things you are doing. They weren't insulting. Rather they were showing people who they truly were and with you, it hasn't been pretty. You honestly have no shame for what you are doing. You want to make this about Reformed or not reformed and that is not the issue. Post Reply
