The point being, this person can assume either gender in a reproductive point of view. Can impregnate a female, or be impregnated by a male, and go full term with a child."true hermaphrodite – an infant born with both ovaries and testicles and has both male and female sex organs"
"So the multitudes are fed SPIRITUALLY not physically."
Correct. No person is in total control of their destiny.“I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23)."
God does not give up on people and consign them to burn. Sounds to me that tares are objects of attachment. Not people....The tares are the people in the world who hear the message of the Gospel, but remain hardened to it
In this context, 'good works' are a means to an end. Selflessness is what is required.When we are saved the type of good works that are pleasing to God will always follow our true faith.
Yet earlier was stated:Many Christians are very successful
So why are there succesful Christians if it doesn't count?In the world, people collect sports, hobbies, careers, religions, philosophies, fame, power whatever! These are all worldly ambitions but in the end they don’t count
Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Karma is not equatable to sin. Karma is the law of balance.“With Karma you get what you deserve.”
Bible says Jesus died for 'our' sins. Isn't it odd then that a confessional is still required?In Christianity Jesus got what you deserve.
In other words, you get what you deserve. Different words, exact same meaning.5. Job 4:8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.
6. Proverbs 11:27 Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.
7. Psalm 7:16 The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.
8. Matthew 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Already condemned. Sounds kind of final.John 3:16-18. anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.
I'm sorry, but the two quotes are in conflict.“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
Done that as a child. It doesn't make sense now.Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
Find a local church where you can worship God.
Great! But then it becomes a satanic religions fest..John 10:1, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. Did you understand that? Anyone who attempts to enter into Heaven by human effort (works, sacraments, goodness, religious devotion, et cetera) is a THIEF and a ROBBER (because you're trying to get into Heaven without going through the door.
The whole article is based upon self-righteousness!Seventh Day Adventism is a false religion based upon self-righteousness
https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/23340/what-does-john-1225-meanHe that loveth his life shall lose it,.... The sense is, that whoever is so in love with this present temporal life, as to be anxiously careful of it, and takes all precautions to secure it; and rather than to expose it to any danger, chooses to deny the faith of Christ, and desert his cause and interest; as such an one shall not long enjoy this life, so he shall come short of an eternal one:
James 4:14: Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Corinthians 6:19-20: You are not your own; you were bought at a price
Corinthians 7:23: You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
Matthew 6:24: No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
This all means you must actually follow the path of Jesus, right? Going to church won't cut it. You must die to the world as he did. Pick up your cross and follow me. The words are simple enough.... But would you?You have to enter into Heaven God's way, which is through the door of Jesus Christ.
