Was thinking of this very subject yesterday.
I am a protestant (born-again) Christian, and I don’t completely agree with the article in regard to “mortal sin and the like (God gives grace, and it isn’t obedience that saves but faith), however the main point of the article about Adam and Eve being saved from eternal (death) life in their sins is correct. ONLY Jesus gives us true eternal life.
It makes me wonder about other subjects like: What is the “mark of the beast” could it be a way that sinful (unrepentant) men will in the future seek out “immortality” through radical science/transhumanism (in which God gives them what they want..) but this “immortality” leading to eternal death when He eventually judges them at the end of this age? Makes one wonder..
**God gives grace, and it isn’t obedience that saves but faith**
to me this is fallacy. You say that you can have faith, but if you go out and kill someone or do not honor your father and mother as the Ten Commandments say — then you are OK, is that how you think?
That can’t be true in my way of thinking. Christ emphasized obedience all along. It’s even in the Bible.
Paraphrasing after finding Jesus in the temple....”and he went home with them and was obedient to them.”
brillIant comment. I had never thought of the immortality connection to the mark. very good
