"My thread on religious beliefs" or ?

[look3467]

Hi,ya'all

I would like for this thread to continue for as long as there are questions on religious beliefs.
I for one am a Jesus believer, soul saved, heaven bound and I want you all to know it.

I will in no way condemn any belief category but will advice on what I believe to be the true God and Savior Jesus Christ.

That is my reference point and the bible is my workbook.

All comers are welcome, but be advised that I promote Jesus, and His two commandments as the center of all creation.

But don't let that dissuade you from participating with any question you might have concerning the bible or Gods wonderful works.

If you are a Catholic, protestant, Jew Muslim or Atheist, I welcome you to discuss God however you perceive God to be.

It is my belief based on my research, and the understanding given me that all mankind will be saved.

This of course is a very unpopular stance to take, since we have been thought that hell awaits all who do not adhere to whatever rules, regulations, traditions and unbelievers in God.

But let me assure you that God is cognizant of your existence as a creature of His creation, no matter what you believe.

And I have good reason to believe that.

Let me quote one verse to substantiate what I mean: Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

How much more are ye better than the fowls?

My dear friends, God the creator has shown us His mercy with such kindness and forgiveness, that all we have to do is believe in Him.

Now that the light is available as knowledge of the creator in word, the bible, take this opportunity to seek Him out. Joh 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Hope you silent readers take advantage and speak out your concerns on this one thread.
This is for your benefit!

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

Well, I guess I'll throw out a question for some of you more serious bible students: Was there an end to the past world? If yes, please explain.

One verse that might help: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

it's nice to see someone being inclusive AJ. personally I think you're a loony, but a very nice one.

How come you ask whether there was an end to the past world? how do you know there was one? and if there was, then surely it has ended or there wouldnt be a new one

 

[westmanguy]

How come a person who has a relationship with God, and is very spiritual and religious is stereotyped as loony?

BTW.. AJ, maybe re-affirm this... these threads can get off track FAST.. you should specify this is not a God vs. no God debate.

I refer to AJ as a loony a) for fun and b) due to his beleifs in a secret code of numbers hidden within the bible. Mostly it's about fun, and certainly nothign to do with his deep religion and spirituality.

Forgive me AJ I mean no harm it was a friendly jibe

I do come across as loony and weird I know, and that is because I come out with things people never heard of before and in which I have understanding in.

So, I try to spill some of this understanding of mine to stir up the norm in beliefs and cause some deep thinking on some of the more serious thinkers in the word of God.

I asked the question to see if I’d get a response and start a dialogue on this subject and then just let the Holy Spirit guide it to where ever it feels like taking it.

That verse I just quoted and plus the rest of the bible reveal in concert a Redeemer that would come to change the situation where mankind had no say in.

In short, what Jesus did was do away with the first and introduce the second.

At the cross He ended the first world (Meaning the spiritual condition that mankind was placed in) by nailing it to the cross. (The cross being wood signifies a tree, and that tree being the tree of knowledge of good and evil.)

What Jesus did was take the curse of it away from us all by paying the price Himself.

Hey, no harm done! I understand the ribbing, and I understand criticism. Both are taken kindly and no ill thoughts to the originators of them.
I love God and He tells me to love my neighbor. I shall try to do just that even at my expense.
Thanks for the support there westmanguy.

I have somewhat of information that is not common knowledge to the bible student simply because it's there but can not be seen.
I say that because I've read the bible over the years, studied it and read allot of other material (non biblical) as well in order to arrive at some conclusion as to why this verse is so misunderstood.
I will quote it here: Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Misunderstood for this reason: What exactly is the message? To whom is it addressed and why?
We Christians have been thought that all who do not acknowledge Jesus as their Savior are not saved and are headed for hell, an eternal hell.

There are some things wrong with that assumption of which I can address later.

But for now, dwell on those thoughts if you will.

I accept a no God debate as well. I am not fearful of anybody's views. For I know in whom my faith rests on, and nothing can shake it.

You are one of the few christians I can truly respect. I've read many of your posts, and you come across as a very kind and loving person. I do not believe what you believe, but I do believe in love and goodness, and that is something we have in common.
