You speak of self-maintained salvation as if it's a sin and not what Jesus taught.
You speak of salvation as if it's guaranteed to you and it is NOT. It is INDEED based on your obedience to God after your initial salvation.

Please read Matthew 7:24-27 (this is how scripture is posted, BTW, something you refuse to do)
and answer these questions:
1. WHO did the building --- the person or Jesus?
2. What did the smart person do in verse 24?
3. Why did the house not fall? Because Jesus built it or because it was FOUNDED on the Rock?
4. What did the foolish man do? What is the sand? (maybe anything that is not the Rock)?
5. This house that was built on sand...what happened to it?

If Jesus is comparing to methods of building and HE IS THE ROCK and that is the smart man and the smart man is building UPON THE FOUNDATION of the Rock....The Rock itself is NOT building the house...

Then anything else upon which our faith/house is built is NOT THE ROCK.

Easy. No Greek necessary.


Mathew 7:24-27
The Two Foundations
24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
False.....conflated truths, twisted contex, denial of perfect tense Greek verbs does not equal a correct message....forget it, you cafe blend Catholic dogma saves no one.....end if story....

@dcontroversal doesn't like scripture...
It speaks against his personal beliefs that have nothing to do with mainline Christianity.
You're a liar...I love the truth....and mainline Christianity has it all wrong...Dishonest people Fran have no weight when it comes to truth....formally banned members back pushing obedience to remain saved = deceit

Why did you give me a thumbs down for post no. 92,505 ???

Is it not correct to ask someone to exegete a verse in the bible?
Isn't that what we're here for....to speak to each other about biblical matters?

A sad, sad statement.

May God have mercy on you, you make God a liar, you put God in our debt for something He plainly tells is a gift.. Sad, truly sad.

GG101,

There is no Matthew 4:26 or 27. I think you made a mistake when referring to the scriptures.....:unsure:
Matthew 4:24-25:

And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

You deceived the authority of this Christian Forum; you were banned and returned to this forum against their rules. Everything you say should be brought into question because you lied about who you really are just so you could get your own way and return here after being banned.

Be reconciled to God and to this beautiful forum and then maybe people will believe you maybe.

Has anybody anybody told you what lying is? "Like not telling the truth."
