The purpose of this board is to debate your views about a particular religion or belief. I understand Religion is a touchy subject, but this board is designed for you to ask questions as well as present arguments for your particular Religion or belief.

 

You can definitely challenge others, but no calling others names. Feel free to debate away.

Debating Among Different Religious Beliefs

Quote From: cheryl_in_az

 26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

 27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

maybe its you who isn't getting it.  He said it clear as day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Did the man who appoached him give any reason for us to believe he was being hindered by his possessions, well, until he was asked to give them up that is!  hahaha

Jesus had discerned that from the very beginning of his talking to the man.

Debating Among Different Religious Beliefs

Quote From: fredastare

Okay so if one lives with "wealth" and is unwilling to give all of their worldly possessions up for God, BUT repents at the last minute it's all good with God then?

 

Hmm, Cheryl.....that sounds like an easy out for everyone IMO.

So you want them to do penance? Or what?

 

Ever hear of Amazing Grace?  That is why I don't believe "works" have anything to do with salvation in the sense that one has to do this and that so they can be "saved".

Quote From: cheryl_in_az

LOL! Where does it say THAT?? Doesn't it clearly state that man had followed ALL of God's commandments?

 

Are you reading Jesus' mind????? 2000 years later??

 

Or do you just choose to believe that this couldn't possibly apply to everyone?

 

Since Jesus is walking around doing any discerning today, how can I know if it applies to me??

 

 

Gotta leave the party....BBL!

Is that like saying that I can tell someone I love them all the time but I never have to SHOW them?

Well.....did you read the rest of the chapter before making your comments?  She said she had read the passages, so I assumed that she knew that was in there?????

No....I'm not saying that a Christian shouldn't do any 'works" but that "works" do not save a man/woman...it is grace that saves us.
