I will NOT stoop to your level of arrogance and self pride!
I will continue to humble myself to our Lord and give of myself for the good of others

But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

At that time Jesus said in reply, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.
(Matthew 11-24-25_

“The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”
-Mother Teresa

I,m finished posting you and I really don,t care what else you have to say until you step down from that “high horse”some day.

You think you can do something for your salvation, and don't regard that as arrogrance and self-pride?

I will continue to humble myself to our Lord and give of myself for the good of others But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

And it will not help you one bit in being saved.

Read Acts 10, Cornilus was a 'devout man' did good works and yet was an unsaved man.

Your good deeds are not going to get you eternal life.

You must receive the free gift by faith and only by faith.

Then produce works in the power of the Holy Spirit (Gal.5:22)

At that time Jesus said in reply, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. (Matthew 11-24-25_

Yes, the Lord was speaking of the scribes and Pharisees, those who liked to walk around in long robes, for pretense make long prayers, take the formost seats in the banquets, devour the goods of widows and ophans, and be called 'master' and 'father'-know any of these guys today?

LOL!

And what does that have to do with salvation?

Thank you for making your post short.

So when you find out when something is free but you have to still work for it, let me know.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!
