In a nut shell: for those living before Christ; they must have been faithful followers of Jehovah keeping whatever law they were under—whether the old Jewish law of animal sacrifices and the 10 commandments or whether they were gentiles living under the “ patriarchal law”. Those who loved, and...

Those are all true but only deal with one aspect of salvation—faith. God also says that REPENTANCE. Is necessary Acts 2:38, Acts 17:30. And CONFESSION Romans 10:10, and BAPTISM 1Peter 3:21, Acts2:38, Acts 22:16, Mark 16:16. Besides leaving these out, we can’t “take away” from God’s word What...

I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, but in regard to what God will do with those who have never heard of God or the gospel, 2 Thess. 1:8 says that God will take vengeance on all those who DO NOT KNOW GOD and those who do not obey the gospel. God made sure The gospel was...

God’s plan of salvation is the same for everyone since Jesus’s death on the cross. God is no respecter of person. He doesn’t require one thing of me and something else of you. We have the answer to your question in Acts 8. The Ethiopian eunuch had never heard of Jesus. He was reading the...

Psalms 119:160 says that the “SUM” of God’s word is truth. You must accept everything that God says saves us. Most denominations only accept the part that they like, and reject anything else even if God says it. That is a mistake that will cause you to lose your soul. Not only are we not to...

We can know the words of God by reading the Bible. If we have to wait on the Holy Spirit to perform some “act” on us then why study at all or why preach? Why did Jesus tell the apostles to go into all the world and preach the gospel? Why did Paul tell Timothy to STUDY the word of God? 2Tim...

You can’t be “unsaved” if you were never saved at all. God “saved” His people Israel from Egypt and promised every one of them the “promised land” (comparable to our “heaven”) but “unsaved” them when they disobeyed him to go into the land and they were destroyed without ever getting their...

OK. Here are some Biblical quotes that would apply here. —“I exhort you to CONTEND EARNESTLY. For the faith…” Jude 1:3 —-Do not believe every spirit, but TEST the spirits, to see whether they are of God because many false teachers have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 —-Find out what is...

The people in Matt. 7 were not condemned because their heart was not right. According to Jesus they were condemned because they were practicing “lawlessness.” Verse 23. 1 John 3:4 Sin is lawlessness. Nothing is said about the heart in this passage. No one is saying the heart does not...

I would not recommend this. It simply is not true and is an idea that I’m sure the devil approves. 1 Corinthians 7:19 “KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD IS WHAT MATTERS.” Satan does not want you to do what God says. Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” And again, “ You are my...

No. While your faith may influence others, this verse is simply showing that faith is necessary for you to be saved AND faith is necessary for your household to be saved. Pure and simple. Don’t read more into the verse than what is there. These people were Ronan gentiles. They likely had...

It seems most religious people believe it does not matter what you do in religion, they are going to be saved anyway. Almost as if God is OBLIGATED to save them. Satan has done a good job convincing people that it really doesn’t matter. They believe God is going to save them on their terms...

Man can’t be saved by faith alone because the Bible specifies other things that also save us—like repentance, confession and baptism. If we are saved by faith ALONE then nothing else saves us. We are not saved by repentance or confession or baptism, but the scriptures teach that we ARE saved by...

Do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God? 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is inspired by God …” Whatever you do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord. Colossians 3:17. That does not mean just saying “I do this in the name of Jesus” and then doing whatever you...

I see you did not mention or explain Ezekiel 18, or the fact that babies can’t “speak lies.” So you are going to take the parts of this Psalm that support your doctrine as literal; and ignore the parts that you know CAN’T be literal.

Wow!! You knew all that without it even being in the verse! You must be the only person in the world that can read Jesus’s thoughts and motives!

I’ve been reading the different posts on this site and so far I don’t think anyone has addressed the issue of the difference between the Old Jewish law of Moses and the. New Law of Faith brought in by Jesus. You can read about the “contrast “ and differences between these two laws in the book...

When God gave the command to the Jews to “remember the seventh day to keep it holy”, He did not specify any particular seventh day. Yet, in all of the Bible there is not a case where any Jew ever asked God “which one?” Nor did any of them think this was a command to keep just “one” seventh day...

Yes, thank you. I’m still being faithful to God.
