In Christ Alone lyrics

Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save

?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Reformed theology appeals to people who at some point in their lives were "not very nice." Perhaps they were ostracized by others, constantly in trouble, and on the wrong side of the law, literally lost in their misfortune, and someone came to them and said "Jesus loves youIt is possible that this is the first time anyone has ever told those words, that even they can be loved. So, it is no wonder they were drawn to it.

wow, you are so absolutely correct! By the age of 7, when I came to Jesus, I was such a derelict---- gosh, I carried double cap pistols, shot up the cow pasture, hated school, said I was sick when I wasn't, and got beat up my brother. And I bet many people here were worse.

"To name but a few."

But the Church's greatest sin is in not accepting the gospel of Calvin and recognizing the inherent superiority of the election of his followers and their sinlessness. So in reality your petulant little anti-Catholic tirade is all about you. That really affirms Matthew 20:16!

You gotta love pop-psychology.

Again it is Paul who says this...I want scripture where Jesus calls him apostle...God sent him, true, but when Jesus talked to him on the road to Damascus, he was not called to be an apostle by Jesus.

In cp. 9 vs:15-16 (Acts) Jesus calls Paul who was not even baptized when he was knocked off his horse "an instrument of mine to carry my name before the gentiles"

Thanks to all that answered but I give you Gods word as to what Paul was. It was not an apostle, but an instrument. Paul was Gods instrument not an apostle, right out of Jesus mouth to Ananias...

If anyone can find that false, please let me know..

[1000 silverlings]

well since the bible is the true and inspired word of God, and in it God explains through Paul, that He has ordained from the beginning Paul's place in the Plan of Salvation--- so... is Paul a liar? is God a liar? Do you not accept all of the NT as the inspired word of God?

[1000 silverlings]

is the bible the inspired word or not? just parts of it? how do you pick and choose which parts?

Paul saw and was taught of Christ

1 Cor 15:

that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. 9 For I am the least 4 of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am,

[Quix]

but when Jesus talked to him on the road to Damascus, he was not called to be an apostle by Jesus.

Really?

I didn't realize you were there! You hide your age very well!

[goat granny]

Obviously you don't believe Gods word...If the scripture is true, Paul was God's instrument and you put in your own word of apostle. It is you that made God a liar, by calling Paul apostle and not instrument as Jesus called him...so twist yourself in a pretzel to make Jesus say what he didn't say...your problem not mine.

I will call Paul what Jesus called him, an instrument to take the gospel to the gentiles...Who is voicing a heresy now, Jesus or you

[1000 silverlings]

Paul says that he was called to be an apostle, predestined to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. God says this in the bible, through Paul. I didn’t make it up.

[1000 silverlings]

not only do they not know what the Gospel is, apparently they aren’t even sure what the scriptures are.

[1000 silverlings]

even the Catholic church calls him The Apostle Paul”, not, “that instrument, Paul” altho some RCs call him “that tool, Paul”

[RnMomof7]

Citing a known sodomite and murderer as proof the Church needed reforming is not going to gain you any street cred.

People with a glass Vatican should not throw stones.....

[Quix]

particularly stone statues?

[RebelTex]

Thanks for the ping and the easy to read format.

[1000 silverlings]

Are Paul’s epistles in the Catholic bible? Is the Catholic bible some kind of Reader’s Digest version? Are some parts considered more authentic than others? Very strange.

[OLD REGGIE]

"Rome lies. Rome has always lied."

Thank God you are not speaking about the Catholic Church.

Now for the truth. Calvin lied. Calvinists have always lied. Calvinism requires that one first lie to oneself, then to the world, then lie about the Church and lastly lie to God.

This interesting coming from one who defends a church built on forgeries and lies.

Where do you wish to begin?

THE FORGED APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTIONS

THE FORGED "APOSTOLIC CANONS"

THE FORGED LIBER PONTIFICALIS

THE CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE

THE FORGED LETTER OF ST. PETER THE POPE SYLVESTER FORGERIES

THE FORGED "DONATION OF CONSTANTINE"

THE "SYMMACHIAN FORGERIES"

THE "FALSE DECRETALS" FORGERIES

THE FORGED DECRETUM OF GRATIAN

Lies and forgeries. The path to power and wealth.

Jesus preached the gospel long before the books we call gospels were written..

Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.What did He preach as HIS GOSPEL

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

What gospel did Jesus preach?

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

What gospel are we to preach?

One more time..what is THE Gospel?
