Salvation is a free gift of God - Have confidence you are saved!

Be convinced of these 4 biblical truths: 1. Each of us has sinned; 2. God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3. But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4. Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26)

Admit it, cultist, you believe and have been trying for weeks at FR trying to convince Christians that if they don’t keep your cult’s favorite commandment regarding the sabath they will not be saved for eternity.


For the record, I have no idea if a person will lose their salvation for consistently disobeying a direct commandment from God, week after week, month after month, year after year for their entire Christian life, when it is as plain as the tail on a Common long-tailed macaque (monkey), that God clearly commands us to keep it HOLY (I said holy for SouthernClaire’s benefit). That’s God’s decision in the judgment, not mine. But, I have my suspicions.

In the end, when the MOTB is enforced, IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ISSUE. The bible is crystal clear that those who receive the MOTB will certainly be lost. Is it just a matter of a day of worship? No. It’s about who’s authority is behind the day...the Creator’s or the Created.

In a way I’m kind of glad that I’m not the only one you call cultist. For awhile there, just like Elijah, I thought I was the only one.

Cultist!!

Well, I think you're a nice person. Your posts are always welcome. And no, you're not in a cult. That word is so abused and over used.

I’m convinced that the Departure of The Body of Christ Believers is so near that I could actually be in that generation Believrs who will not taste death. You could join us, if you would get out of that Catholic ORG religion and trust in Christ Alone by Faith Alone.

Romans 2:11For God does not show favoritism.
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
13For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.…

Rom 2:12  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 
Rom 2:13  (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 


Rom 3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 

Gal 2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 

You are a real mystery...There is so much scripture proving you wrong and yet you ignore every bit of it...

It is not that Romans 2 is wrong because it isn't...In the time period that Romans 3 was written, the doctrine changed...It is so easy to see but you guys pretend it doesn't exist...Got to be a spiritual thing...

In Romans 2 and 3 Paul is simply emphasizing the role and importance of Jesus Christ. Which is what the Apostles are supposed to do. The people he's writing to were Jews which put their faith in the law.

He is simply reminding them that our faith needs to be in Jesus Christ and not that law. But obeying the law, which means doing the works is still required. Which Philsworld, Cronos, and I have been saying all along.

In the time period that Romans 3 was written, the doctrine changed...

No. No it didn't. It's the same as it's always been. You're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and it's not working, so you have to explain it way some how. So you come up with "the doctrine changed". Really? Doctrines are eternal truths and you think God, for some strange reason, changed them on you?

Anyways, Paul is also teaching another very important doctrine. And that is, that a person is only judged by what law they know. So, the more a person knows, the more they are responsible for...

As Philip asked the eunuch, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

Yes I do, and I can see false doctrine here. 😁👍

I am of the opinion that a few on this thread would have been in the group who did not and could not understand what Jesus meant in His parables.

I believe you are correct SC. 😁

I don’t follow Satan, the devil, maybe you do.

Yes the Blessed Mother has indicated that a warning is coming soon from God that everyone will see their souls and their sins.

http://www.garabandal.org/News/Garabandal_Warning_Miracle_Interviews.shtml

What I remember now is that the Virgin told me that before the Miracle God will be sending us a Warning so as to purify us or prepare us to see the Miracle and in this way we may draw enough grace to change our lives toward God. She told me what the Warning will consist of but not the date. I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two stars that collide. This phenomenon will not cause physical damage, but it will horrify us because at that very moment we will see our souls and the harm we have done. It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves. May the Virgin forgive me if I do not explain it the way it is, but I am trying to tell you ... after knowing what the Warning will be like that day.

It will be interesting to see how many repent and convert.

Waving at you from across the oceans, brother! ‘Course I’m standing out here in the freezing cold doing it ... but, hey ... take your time. No hurry. (Check your email.)

I did. Thank you kindly. Summer time here, is April/May. It’s hot now. 👎 When June rolls around, it gets cooler, but the rainy season starts. 🤗 It’s either blistering heat, or raining cats and dogs. 😂

“Here, there, or in the air.” I LOVE that! And amen, bro!

MHG has some of the best thoughts on the rapture that I’ve read anywhere (and I read a ton per day every day). His writings have got me more excited about it than ever. To have such an immediate change in such a short period will be the best thing we’ve ever experienced but for the love of God!

Rightio. Here, there, or in the air, Mark!

Someone else said that to me, and I liked it. 😁 I think it will happen so fast, we won’t know what hit us. We could be going along, and our last conscious thought, may be, of walking the dog, then, poof, we are gone.
I don’t know if many people will be wondering where we all went. We don’t know when this will be. By that time, Christians may be so marginalized, that the unbelievers, may scarcely notice we are gone. We just don’t know for sure.

I think people will notice. They will be glad we are gone (at least at first). it they will notice. iI believe this will usher in the great deception to explain the disappearances

I agree, MomMD. The UFO disclosures, no matter how a person may take it right now, I bet will be used for the great deception that is coming.

I bet the false rapture theory and the fact that none of the believers of the false rapture theory believe that the Antichrist power has been on this earth for well over 1500 years and still going strong, will be used for the great deception that is coming.

And why are you even worried about it? YOU WON’T BE HERE, right?
