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.

View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 12 Oct, 2012 07:54 PM For the last hour or so, I have asked myself why I should have to put up with you falsely accusing me 7 separate times of insulting you here in this thread. The answer is that I don't have to put up with it, nor should anyone else. You should be held accountable for your behavior when you lie with the express purpose of undermining someone else's reputation. As such, I am hoping that other members and the moderation staff here will review every post that I made in this thread and also review your false accusations and set the record straight publicly. If we allow folks like you to get away with this type of behavior without speaking up in opposition to it then we have all truly lost integrity as a body. The truth will be lost completely. Shalom.

You make a mockery of God, then proclaim you are a christian. You are truly deceived by your father the devil, and should be ashamed of yourself. Post Reply
View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 12 Oct, 2012 08:49 PM Stating truths and who you have shown yourself to be are not insults. You may feel insulted, but that's because you don't want to admit the reality. Read the thread bad and you will see blatant attempts to mislead, ignore what you know you couldn't defend with scripture, deny scriptures that say we should defend truth, etc.... These are real things that happened. Now you may not like it, but the "insults" are of your own making. You have displayed hypocrisy by repeatedly doing the very thing you claim others are doing. You lied and said that in this thread and other threads I claim to be the only one who knows truth. When I pointed out that this was not true and that I agreed with other posters in this very thread, you never apologized for your false statement. What am I supposed to call these things other than to say you lack integrity. It should make you question your heart. Truth matters Post Reply
View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 12 Oct, 2012 08:53 PM "Why do you feel it is necessary to talk about me in character and what I do not Know and keep it Up!" Because you continue to post showing your character. It really is sad. If anyone tries to rebuke your or point out truths, you try to tell everyone you are being insulted. In other words, you are playing the victim card. I'm 25 and don't play the victim card. My hope was to have a real discussion about truths, but you were so intolerant of that. You blew it off like truth didn't matter and even said truth shouldn't be defended on multiple occassions even after scriptures were posted that showed scripture does indeed need to be defend. You never apologized. It is you who thinks you are right above all others. So much so that you will not even engage in biblical discussion with anyone who disagrees. Post Reply
View Profile History	"What Must I Do To Be Saved" Posted : 12 Oct, 2012 09:00 PM "What makes you think I am the One in need of Instruction about the Topic!!" Well for one, you showed you were incapable of defending it. Number two....YOU THINK TRUTH ISN"T SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENDED. And you really wonder why I think you need instruction? I need instruction too, but you would never know it because you are steadily trying to paint TBK and I as people who think they are perfect which is far from the truth. We only wanted to have a real biblical discussion and you kept talking passed up and misrepresenting us. "Just because you do not Believe the Topic at Hand and you have another Version of the Truth." There is only one truth. You seem to be not understanding this. "Why do you keep trying to Prove Your Own version on here over and over!!" Well as I said, truth is important. I want you to give a defense for the claims you are trying to teach people. A better question is not why do I try to prove mine, but why can't you prove yours. "Our You the only one that knows Truth!!!" More misrepresentation of my statements. Why are you so okay with misrepresenting the other side? "What makes you think Everyone has to except your view just because you the Scriptures you post in another view on this Topic!!!!" Nobody has to accept my view about anything. Again what makes you think anybody's truth is okay? Post Reply
