Salvation of the Soul



65. What precisely do you mean by the saving of one's soul?

The meaning of that requires a brief analysis of man. Man consists of body and soul. The body is material and perishable; the soul is spiritual and imperishable. But the soul is the real you. It is the soul which knows and loves, is happy or miserable. Now as the soul is immortal, it enters at death into an eternal state, whether it be one of supreme happiness, or of direst misery. By "saving one's soul" I mean going from this world in the grace and friendship of God, so that one avoids eternal misery, and secures eternal happiness.

66. What are the conditions of salvation?

That we serve God in this life, doing what He commands, and avoiding what He forbids. That surely is evident. If men have not always done what God commands, or have not always avoided what He forbids, they must at least be sincerely repentant of their sins before they go from this life to meet their eternal Judge.

Go knows ALL will sin.
God sent His Son so ALL would still have hope of salvation.
Jesus died for ALL

Yet ALL will not go to Heaven
ALL that receive Jesus (Believe, Repent, Baptism, confession, obey his will equals receive )will be saved.

God knows ALL that receive His son will be saved, ALL that do not will not be saved. Go Knows ALL, but has also giving all the choice to serve him.

In a way, yes. But it was spread over a few decades. Like you, I too am not all that interested in "organized religion", i.e., hierarchial structure - That is not very Biblical.

What that articles says is important enough, so I've been told by many different denominational theologians, "that one should spend some time doing some study on its conclusions." But that's up to the individual, not a "church"!

Sorry, I do not understand what you are trying to tell me with reference to #39.

Would you start a basketball team by picking just anybody at random? Or would you pick the tall, slim, and athletic?

Men’s intelligence is the same. I choose the consensus of great minds through the ages, while you say you prefer to choose the opinions of anybody on Free Republic.

It makes no sense.

I agree, that’s why I ask these questions.

I’m not looking to solve questions about God, I’m just interested in getting people’s answers.

Yes, those questions are valid, but what I said before strikes at the issue harder. After you read and think about my article, you may get a glimpse of what I mean.

Anyway, proceed...I'm interested in the responses.

To be honest with you, I probably won’t finish your article or actually respond to it anymore, as it is very long, and I find that I am not that interested in the subject matter. Keep up the good work though.

Thanks for the response. I think I understand...it requires quite a bit of study from those who read it and realize the depth it goes to. It's a time "killer" :-)
