What better love than spreading the Word of Truth and Salvation to those enemies and Muslim hordes?

I’m former RC FWIW.

Christ talks about being born again - I’m sure you know it. Salvation is easy peasy - if we stick to what John, Peter, & Paul wrote about it - or Jesus Himself.

Romans 10:9-10 is wonderful.
John 6:29 is the answer where Jesus had every opportunity to be a legalist some sects make Him to be, and yet His answer is most simple.
I love Acts 16:31 and it’s a repeat of John 6:29 to the Roman jailer.
Then Ephesians 2:8 shows God’s true meaning of Grace.
Heck the whole book of Ephesians should give Christians a superiority complex regarding blessed assurance.

What Jesus simplified, men (all of us) love to confuse and confound it with “rules” or “obligations”.

Counter the legalists with 1 John 1:8-9. Or better yet, read the whole book of 1 John and soak in all of that wonderful confidence that we should have in Christ’s Finished work.

PS: God Bless You!

Roman_War_Criminal: You realize “Repent” means to change one’s mind in the original text and to “sin no more” is foolishly impossible, strive as we may. Why did Jesus tell people to “go and sin no more” if sinlessness is impossible?

cloudmountain: Ya got me there.


As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

...

The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

- Mark 10
