I'm not ecumenical at all! I care too much about souls to be that way!

Jesus Christ said,
Matthew 7:14 - "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it"

WE should not be one of those who say, "Lord, Lord"
and he says, "I knew you not"

Well, I really want to extend my appreciation to CIRBaptist for reporting me. Thank you for the ecumenism.




Too bad that no one in the world of PB&J has defined precisely what a true PB&J sandwich is, though...

I want to ask you point blank: Have you been born again? Jesus said that only way to get to Heaven was by being born again! (John 3:3-5) by the Spirit through the blood of his Son.


Hebrews 9:14 (King James Version)


14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Ephesians 2:15-17 (King James Version)


16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

I did report Suaso because Catholic doctrine was not allowed to be promoted according to RoboOp.
"Fight the Good fight, finish the faith"

Ephesians 2:8-9 (King James Version)


8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Report me too, then, because not only is she much more intelligent and charitable than most, but I also reject Sola Fide, though I am not a Catholic (yet.)

Pax Christi.

Although if you consider the catholic doctrine of salvation that peanut butter and jelly sandwich has to go through a lengthy process of cleansing before entering heaven.

Is Heaven my mouth? If so, that makes sense. Wouldn't want a dirty sandwich. Might get Swine or eat a bug.

Even Protestant soteriology doesn't obviate the necessity for purification before entering heaven.

Not as a lengthy process, to be influenced by said favors towards the religious heirarchy or otherwise.

CIRBaptist:

If you look at the orginal greek in which Philippians was written in the word that was used for salvation was the word: sōtēria

This word is translated to:deliverance, preservation, safety as the present possession,

It is talking about our already existing salvation. So they already have it. What does this mean though, working out our existing salvation with fear and trembling?

It is no coincidence that it jumps from working out our salvation right to verse 13 "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for {His} good pleasure." If you were to glance over this you would think that there is huge change in subject here between these verses, but these verses are closely related. Notice the word "for" as the start of verse 13. This is important to notice, because it tells you that verse 13 is a result of verse 12. This means that you can't read verse 12 and have the full context of the verse without verse 13. Also, notice that verse 12 starts with "So then". This is telling you that this verse relates to either the previous verse or all of the previous verses/subject matter that Paul was talking about before.

A lot of Christians like to separate verses from their contextual verses, but these conjunctionl words are extremely important if you are to get the proper context for each verse.

Based on what Paul is said before, (him being in prison under praetorian guard to emperor Nero[written in 60-62 AD]) and the struggles that he himself was going through I believe he was talking about working through the existing struggles of keeping hold of your salvation, not allowing anything in your life that would prevent God from doing His work in you.

Hopefully this helps.


Blessings!

Except they don't. That was a mediaeval abuse of indulgences and has already been dealt with, wrong at all times, should never have happened, did happen.

But yes, Mahogany, I would never want a dirty sandwich on my plate.
