Ok, we’re getting closer, though the yes/no is still missing, so I want to make very sure I understand: You are saying that we are -not- expected to strive to obey the commandments of God in order to be saved?

You’ve danced around it in several different ways now, ranging from the philosophical to the cryptic, so I’m still uncertain and don’t want to risk you accusing me again of misrepresenting your beliefs; please answer with a yes or a no.

~”Are you under the mistaken impression that you, tantiboh, can keep the Commandments, all the Commandments?”~

I might point out your reading comprehension problem. From my post #242: “We make mistakes. The point is to recover from them and work to do better.” I might append that this is a lifelong process, and will not be completed while we are in this life.

"I might append that this is a lifelong process, and will not be completed while we are in this life." tantiboh Have you been born again yet? Do you know that you are in Christ? Do you know the salient promise of God for believers in Christ, faithers in Christ, those whom trust Jesus as (as in right now) their Savior? Are you adding to Grace you do not yet believe has been accounted for you so you are doing all that you can do? Your insistence on 'in addition to' shows where your agenda is headed.

Answer the above questions for yourself, I really haven't the desire to continue with your game. You are trying to pretend you do not comprehend what I've written to you so I won't waste further words on you. Perhaps someone else will have pity on you and indulge your demonic inspirations.

“I might append that this is a lifelong process, and will not be completed while we are in this life.”

Whatever you think you are suppose to be completing had better be completed while you are “in this life” because it is all the life and time you get..

Once you are dead, there will be no “works” to complete.

“As it is appointed unto man once to die, and afterwards the judgement” Hebrews 9:27

Jesus the Righteous will judge us only up to the point of death...

There is no sin in Heaven, so there is nothing to be judged on there ..

When you die you will either go to Heaven or to Hell...

Your long dead family members died and either went to Heaven or Hell....There’s no getting out of either...

At the point of death to your earthly body it is all over for you...you either go to Hell for rejecting Jesus...or if you are saved, you go to Heaven and get to worship Jesus, the Lamb of God, around the throne of God, forever...

No wonder it’s known as Paradise...I can think of no other thing I would like to do for eternity than hang out with Jesus, my Lord and Savior..

Soimetimes I think I’m teaching two year olds, and then I remember that a 2 yo is brighter, and gets it the first time...
