Yep, that Jesus was no Peacenik alright (strawman #1 - Jesus could have been other things than either a pansy peacenik or a macho redneck). I mean, remember when He was hunted down by a mob for unjust reasons, then told his best friend to not fight, allowed Himself to be tried and convicted in a sham trial, then have very large spikes put through his wrists and feet, and then sufffocated/died of fluid in his heart and lungs on a cross? Yep, Jesus was a real Rambo.

He knew His Father's will was to be done, and that nothing was going to be able to (and shouldn't) stop it.

John 14:6

I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME." --Jesus Christ, Matthew:

Jesus speaking 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: 1 depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Revelations 3:15-16 Again gods words. 15 I know your works and that you are neither cold nor hot, I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

The last is to a church btw . These go for everyone .

I am to share the Truth and bring souls to heaven . To watch out for my fellow brethren that they may not stumble . To follow that which Jesus taught as well as maintain my Life (Relationship) with God .

Jude 20-25

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 On some have compassion making a distinction;

23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by flesh . I like this prayer in Jude so I'm putting it here to share with others as well. Glory to God

24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and magesty, dominion and power, both now and forever Amen .

Anyways, acts don't save anyone, the "soul" if Christianity is in a relationship with the One true king that is Jesus .

Religion, is crap .

Only repentence from sin and acceptence of the Truth may one be with God . This is an open ticket for anyone willing to ride .

If you haven't reieved Jesus, it's as simple as asking Him in . Talking to Him is easy, it's the basis of what's called Prayer . No ritual needed . An example of this would be .(You can either use these words or another.)

Jesus, come into my life, I realise that I have sinned and now repent to follow You . Wash me as pure as the driven snow so that I may be reborn into a life with You and be accepted by the Father . Father God, I thank you for your Son, that you sent Him to die for me, so that I may come to You and that I may recieve Your Holy Spirit . Amen .

Basic blue print . It's up to you wether you recieve Him or not .

For you oh great Conservative . My personal hotline to Jesus is prayer to Him and through His Spirit . I don't need a pope to tell me what I do or don't believe . I study to show myself approved, church is for fellowship and edification as well as leadership, though I know the true Leader .

He who is one and one alone (Deuteronomy 4.35).(Isaiah 45.5).(Mark 12.29). (1 Timothy 2.5).(1 Corinthians 8.4)
He who came and died for man who is born into sin .

He who waits upon those who don't believe, those who believe falsly and those who wish to disgrace Him, for He will not be mocked, but a false impression .

Perhaps you need to know Jesus the Eternal God, CTID?

Cheese .

"Beware of false prophets" (Matt. 7:15). Those who do ministry in a way pleasing to people and against the will of God, those who do not warn against sin, those who twist scriptures and try to justify any manner of living, those assembly preachers who talk about salvation though they themselves are not saved, babblers, those who do ministry with smooth and cunning words to satisfy their lustful desires, those who are likened to dogs which lap up their own vomit, those who give importance to signs and miracles but leave out salvation and holy life- the scriptures warn that all the above kinds of people are false prophets. The Lord tells us to beware of such false prophets and depart from them (Matt. 7:15-23).
