Christ already paid the price pal....and his burden/yoke is EASY AND LIGHT unlike your drivel!
It is an interesting response to taking my yoke upon you, which suggests you
actually do not believe He meant this. But then that does not surprise me.
God bless you.

Hi D...As you know I am going through hard times with my son...
I was so heavy with my burden , and Scripture came to my mind where Jesus said " Come to me all those who are weary , and I will give you rest , take My yoke upon you and learn from me , for I am gentle and lowly in heart "...

As soon as I read that again , I took off the heavy yoke I was carrying , and took the yolk of Jesus , and thank Him all day long for carrying me and my burden...
You are correct , His yolk is light , and now I can walk side by side with Him as He teaches me His way on this unknown path of mine...xox...
Amen Rose.....you know what really helped me in my life....taking the above reference you made and applying it to the two following principles...

a. I never worry about something that has not happened yet

b. I never worry about that which is beyond my control

This really alleviated a lot of stress when I put these two principles in my life...... ;)

Amen. Walking with Jesus is the way to life and finding His love and life flowing through us.
God bless you

Salvation has never been a free gift.
"Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." (John 4:10)

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)

"Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." (2 Corinthians 9:15)

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)

"But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." (Romans 5:15)

Of course, I wouldn't expect a Judaizer/Pharisee such as yourself to accept the fact one cannot earn what is freely given.

Amen.....I mean really.....one must be as dense as lead, just plain ignorant or wilfully reject the fact that both faith and salvation are gifts from God......the first being given in measure to every man except JESUS CHRIST and the latter being freely given at the moment of belief......

Most likely all computerized, I doubt that it is seen by human eyes at the start, if that is any consolation. :(

Imagine hating the Gospel that much, yet claiming to be a Christian?

Obviously, something is very wrong.

Matt 5:22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
