[kalaniman1]

Hey guys,
I am a student of christianity and for my 'personal investigation project' I have chosen to investigate how relevant Christianity is in our society and try to determine the role it plays.

There is a survey/questionnaire down below and it would be amazing if some of you guys (I need 23!) could email me your filled out responses - copied and pasted into an email or however you like

Your questionnaire has nothing to do with what a saving faith is, the questions you posted are a reflection on just how far off so called Christianity has become today.
Most who are in the contempoary Christian society are following a false gospel, and have a dead faith, what you need to ask then is this:

Do you have a saving faith in Jesus Christ?

Here is the answer you can post:

Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive:​

Jon 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?

Jon 3:10 And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which He had said that he would do to them, and He did it not.​

Most know the powerful story of repentance and faith proven by deeds, explained in great detail in Jonah CH 3. Many who teach the false gospel today will say either repentance isn't mandatory to receive mercy and salvation, or that it is necessary, but comes sometime later, after one accepts Jesus as their savior.
They will also say that Jonah was Old Testament, and that all has changed for the New Testament Christian, but is this so? Can you bank all your hopes and dreams on this premise?
Jesus has something to say about this:
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah,(truth) and behold, One greater than Jonah is here. (Jesus)!
Basically Jesus is making it perfectly clear what He meant by repentance, and in no way did he say you could continue in unrepentant sin and enter the kingdom, as most liberal churches teach today!! He also makes a very profound statement, saying there is one greater than Jonah here, and it is God(Jesus), so the word's from His mouth still apply to us, and to an even greater power, as to what He meant when He said in Luke 13-3, repent or perish!
So as it stands, Jonah preached the word of God to the city of Nineveh, they yielded to it, from the convicting power of the spirit of God, which comes to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment,
Joh 16:8 And when that One comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.
Joh 16:9 Concerning sin, because they do not believe on Me;
Joh 16:10 concerning righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
Joh 16:11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
The whole city by their own free will and ability chose to obey from the heart as they were convicted, seeking the mercy of God, by first repenting of all their vile sins, they came before the mercy seat, broken, humiliated, and humbled, as God granted them the privilege of repentance, that prepared their hearts to receive His great mercy.
But their repentance had to be real, and from the heart, none of this confess, trust and believe Jesus did it all for me false message, but just the opposite, where real repentance and faith is proven by deeds, which was the great remorse and sorrow Nineveh displayed as they fasted, put on sackcloth and ashes, and sought the mercy of Go for all their vile sins!
God grants repentance, God grants mercy, God is the author and finisher of our salvation, but we have our part to do in all of this, and He implores us to run the race with diligence and forbearance, to hold fast, to work out OUR own salvation with fear and trembling, less we become shipwrecked in our faith!
Thus getting to the end, and thinking Jesus finished the race for us, as most teach today! He finished the race as an example for us to follow, He didn't do it for us in any way, shape or form, BUT gives us all we need IN Him to run the race, endure to the end, and overcome sin, temptation, and the snares of the evil one! He did it, we can do it, or choose not to, live a complacent lukewarm life on the fringe, and hope to slide in under the wire banking on a provision that your false teacher told you happened when you accepted Jesus into your heart many years ago!
Folks, this is dead faith (the faith of demons) and will not add up to anything at the judgment!
2Ti 2:25 in meekness instructing those who oppose, if perhaps God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth,
2Ti 2:26 and that they awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, so as to do the will of that one.
The message is clear, coming from above, we are commanded to repent, seek the mercy of God and hope and pray He relents and grants us pardon and forgiveness of sins as the whole city of Nineveh did!
America needs to heed this warning and repent as the city of Nineveh, from the president down to the lowly:
Eze 33:11 Say to them: As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no delight in the death of the wicked, except in the turning of the wicked from his way, and so to live. Turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
