My friend, the simple fact is that many people believe in the moral laws of which the Bible speak on but.. They reject the clear teaching that “All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). They believe by applying and practicing moral virtue that that is going get them into heaven (Romans 10:2-4). This rational is called a works doctrine. The Bible clearly teaches that we are saved by faith alone in what Jesus Christ has done for us by dying on the cross for our sins and trespasses against the righteous perfection of Almighty God (Romans 5:1, 10:2-4).

That crucial truth is what they make relevant. There is only one Jesus and not many.

May Friend, take this simple test and if you truly want to comprehend what we wee trying to say this little study will help you.

Thanks for your kind rebuttal. Everything you have written is true. I consider myself a member of the religious right, and further, believe that the only salvation is through Jesus Christ. His love motivates me to want to carry out his plan. But it is Him working through me, not me doing his work.

The article, by insinuating there is something incorrect with the religious right, peaked my interest. My reading of the article left me with my questions unanswered.

I do agree that the focus is to be on eternal salvation, not an earthly kingdom. Man does not have to make earth perfect for Christ's return, and that is a good thing.
