[ET(end tyranny)]

If you think you are saved by your works, then I would dare to say (even at the risk of my own salvation) that you are NOT saved. If you believe that in any way whatosever that it is your works that have saved you, then you do not believe the Gospel.

I believe scripture.. the OT and the teachings of Jesus. I do not accept the gospel of Paul, which teaches false doctrine.

If it were possible for man to be saved by keeping the commandments, then by golly Jesus died for nothing.

Wrong! Jesus was the Messiah, but Israel was not ready. Israel didn't reject Jesus per se, Israel rejected the idea of repentance. That is why Jesus' mission failed. That is why the kingdom has been delayed. That's why Jesus started talking about how he had to suffer and die, because he realized that he had failed. He knew scripture said he would then have to die. The time was right, but Israel wasn't right with God.

It wasn't his fault. Israel just wasn't ready.

*** he [Jesus] realized that he had failed.***

Poor Jesus? Nah, He said He came to give His life as a ransom for His sheep.

***I believe scripture.. the OT and the teachings of Jesus***

Obviously you pick and chose the words of Jesus you like.

I urge you to cease your blasphemy against God and the Messiah, Jesus.

[P-Marlowe]

That is why Jesus' mission failed.

I had my suspicions that you were not saved before. Now I am certain of it.

Jesus failed?

What Church, if any, do you attend. I'd like to steer clear of it.

Thanks.

Well, then you're a heretic and a non-Christian. Sorry, that's the truth of it.

But hey, who knows more: super-pope ET? Or some saints and Apostles and Fathers of the Church?

" That is why Jesus' mission failed. That is why the kingdom has been delayed. That's why Jesus started talking about how he had to suffer and die, because he realized that he had failed. "

You would think God would've planned this out a little better before he went looking for a virgin. I hope he gets his timing right next time around.

" Luke 17:21 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." (NIV) "

The Kingdom has definitely been delayed in you.
