[TN]The LORD Jesus Christ only gave us TWO Commandments..
Only two? Seriously?
Do you realize that Jesus was teaching simplistically? He was teaching a concept. He wasn't going down into all the details.
You've created set of beliefs stemming from your own philosophies mingled with a little scripture.
You're trying to take the final exam just from looking at the syllabus.
[TN]God never make it that hard to be saved. Christians aren't pretzels.
Salvation is actually quite difficult. It's achievable but you have to want it.
3. His commandments include doing His works.
Nope
You do realize that Matt 25 and the entire book of James is in contradiction to your beliefs right??
Here's the problem I have with everything you say. You're not accountable to anyone or any religion. You made up your own beliefs based on your own conclusions you picked up from the Bible.
And since your beliefs are yours, you should be able to amend them whenever you're shown truth. But you don't. On the contrary, you shut it out.
Matt 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Salvation is a journey. It's a path. It's not immediate as is falsely taught by some on this forum. Notice, in the Lord's own words, only a few will actually find the path and follow it.
Only a few will be saved.
Here's a math problem for ya:
If belief is all that's required for salvation and all of you "historical" christians all pretty much the same. And Jesus said that only a "few" would be saved among the believers... what's the deciding factor then?
How come, according to Jesus Himself, 99.9% of all the "christians" are actually going to hell... how can that be if all they had to do was believe?

The LORD Jesus Christ the Righteous loved me so much that He was willing to place Himself on a Cross and there shed His Holy Blood to die so I could be saved..
When He cried “IT IS FINISHED” all the work for my salvation was completed..
I didn’t do a thing to deserve it..He did everything..
Its not hard to be saved...
its just hard to come up with an excuse to reject the LORD Jesus Christ and His FREE gift of Salvation...
Mormons and Moslems manage it though...
