God's Plan of Salvation

[fafegus]

Water is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. This planet is made up of mostly water, water is the element that allows for every living creature to have life on this planet, it is the element for physical life and the conduit through which we enter a spiritual life. Every conversion in the book of Acts contains baptism, God has clearly given us a command just as He has all the rest, justified by faith, James says, if it is not obedient faith then it is the faith of demons, *** 2 Tim. 2:15 ***

[fafegus]

Israel was to march around Jericho seven times, God told different people to do different things, merely believing what God told them never saved anyone, it wasn't until they did what God said, this is not works of merit, but works of obedience, another term that must be properly defined in order to have the truth. Why did God say be baptized, Idk, but He did (Mk 16;15-16, Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 3:21, Rom. 6:3-4, Mat. 28:18-20, Jn. 3:3-7, Gal 3:26-27)

[fafegus]

John 3:16 says if you believe you have everlasting life, but John also wrote the epistles of John and gave us the very definition of belief in 1 John 5:1-5, Saved by Faith or justified by faith (Rom. 5:1), we are justified by faith if we understand the definition of faith, James 2:14-24 gives us that definition, even Abraham was justified by faith in that he did what the word said to do in offering his son, we are to be baptized, Naaman was to dip 7 times, the blind man was to wash his eyes.

[SmashBoy64]

to me religion has the same meaning as opinion: "A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof" Come on people dont buy into this cap live your life and have fun! Dont let a book run your life,your in control! not a magic man/woman living in the clouds! If god did exist, god would go to hell for all the things he/she has done! (if god would've exist) If anything u should hate god! anyway you should be smarter than this! =D

1 ....SIN hebrew strong's ..a trangression or offense..the definition is far too vague ..offend who ??? transgress what ..You have to BELIEVE in GOD ( and what He did FOR You personally) BEFORE...You percieve YOUR need to CHANGE ( Your way) toTHE WAY..and TRUTH wiil save You from some of our foolish selfish pride.......of human inherent and inherited behavior...

[MarcusH118]

Everyone here has seems to think that sin is all there is to think and argue about. You seem to have left out one very important person. JESUS!! (cont'd)

[Imaginefree69]

What the gospel really says: "Dear Child, You are my offspring. Nothing will ever separate you from my love. I will always comfort you. Unless you don't believe me, in which case I will torture you for ever and ever in the torture chamber I made. You know I'll do it, too. I already tortured and mutilated and killed and abandoned my only REAL son. Trust me."

[MomandEmily]

Imaginfree69 dont u have anything better to do than to troll around christian video's?

[Imaginefree69]

Mom. where did Jesus tell you to be accusing and insulting?

[MomandEmily]

I came up with that one all on my own Imaginefree69. I'm the one that had to report you and block you from harassing my on my youtube chanel, remember??

[stud6999]

You'd think Christians would have better things to do than to force their beliefs on others.

[MomandEmily]

Nobody forced you to watch this video. You would think you would have better things to do than to come to a christian video and force your "opinion" on christians.

[stud6999]

Of course nobody forced me to watch it, you missed the whole point. People like me and Imaginefree69 are sick of Christians forcing their views on other people and we're standing up to religion.

When rational debate takes place on a public forum like this, undecided people get to decide which opinion makes the most sense.

We only want religious people to keep their faith to themselves and to stop brainwashing their children.

[MomandEmily]

sorry studd6999 but I answer to God, not you, and my God tells me I should share my faith, they're "eternal life" depends on it.....so you and imaginefree69 can troll all you want, but you will never stop a true christian from telling people about thier lord and savior...

[stud6999]

When you talk to him, tell him I said hi.

[001hinata001]

@stud6999 but you knew this was a christian video. you knew it would be preachy, and you still chose to watch it! the choice is yours to be preached at or not, to watch this video or not. because you have that choice, this video and it's views are not being forced on you.

[stud6999]

That's where you're wrong. Views like this are being forced on me all the time. If people could keep their faith to themselves, I wouldn't care what they believe. The problem lies in the fact that the religious brainwash their children before they can even understand. My parents did it to me and I had nightmares for years. You have no idea how harmful this stuff can be, but I do. If I can help one person escape these horible teachings, it'll be worth my time on YouTube.

[001hinata001]

it depends on how you see religion and present it to others, i think. in the beginning, religion was meant to make people better, but it's probably killed more people than anything else. if you teach your children about the fire and brimstone side only, religion wont do anything positive for them. im christian, but i despise closed-minded realigious zealots as much as you do. im a rather liberal person, so i face alot of opposition at church. too many people twist god into something negative

[stud6999]

I can tell from the way you write that you're just doing what you think is right, like I am. The problem I have with religion is that the misguided people who fly planes into buildings and teach their children that the world is 6,000 years old are just doing what they think is right. When I comment on YouTube, I'm just hoping that I can influence someone to think for themselves instead of blindly following what they were told.

Do you think that non-believers are going to Hell?

[001hinata001]

the church i follow teaches that there is a plan for us. first, there was the premortal existence when everyone lived with god. now we're all being born. after we die, there is spirit paradise and spirit prison instead of heaven and hell. but they're both basically just waiting rooms for the next stage of the plan. in spirit prison, people who never heard of the church in their mortal lives are taught. then everyone gets a second chance in a resurrection. they will retain what they learned...

[001hinata001]

(2) in spirit prison if that's where they went. after that, everyone faces final judgement from god. heaven is separated into 3 kingdoms. then there is "outer darkness" where people who have rejected god to his face will go. you'd have to be pretty stupid to reject god in his presence, so most people will go to one of the 3 kingdoms. hell itself is more of a state of mind. like this: "i am in the lowest kingdom. i couldve done better though, and im sad that i disappointed god"

[001hinata001]

sorry to rant, i had a complicated answer.

-_- so if you mean atheists or people who arent part of my particular religion, no i dont believe they go to hell. they will probably go to spirit prison, but that's temporary and they can try again. unless you openly reject god in his presence at judgement, you will go to heaven in some degree. dang. i really am ranting now, sorry. D:

[stud6999]

Don't apologize for the rant, YouTube has lots of space lol.

Can you tell me what reason you have for believing this? Does it come from the Bible? If so, why are you able to get this from the Bible and other people assume that Hell is a place of suffering and burning.

Another point is that anyone who actually understands the consequences, couldn't possibly reject God. This is one way of showing that Hell is imaginary. In order to go there, God would have to be unjust.

[001hinata001]

hell is something you bring upon yourself. meeting god and feeling unworthy to be in his presence would haunt you forever. and i believe this because i am mormon. i wasnt lying when i said i was christian, mormons are christian and they do believe in the bible. as far as it is translated correctly. the bible has been translated so many times, some stuff is bound to get lost or distorted. like where it says you should never cut your hair. the bible is mostly about jesus and commandments...

[001hinata001]

(2) & the book of mormon talks about the plan. i havent read as much of the bible, but it may too, im not sure. i know not much information is given about the premortal life, just what happened with satan & god telling us about the plan before we were born. however, the book of mormon and church leaders have talked about what happens later. and i guess hell is imaginary if you dont mentally subject yourself to it. everyone reads the bible selectively, so some see hell as suffering and burning.

[crespabs]

I have an idea about Hell... Hell is somewhere around us... don't believe? Will believers or non believers can always go to Hell... If you make your life now miserable, lonely by doing bad things that is Hell i guess... this is what i believe...

[bullwhipjesus]

There is no such thing as sin there are only laws. Don't break local laws and your life will be great. :)

[awakeminz]

To sin is to break the law, instead the local law is Gods law. Have you ever lied? Stolen? or Murdered before? These are nothing but 3 of Gods laws but yet they are incorporated in2 local laws as every culture, nation and race deems them to be at some point all morally wrong.

To sin is to break Gods law.

The definition of sin is simply this 'to miss the mark

We have all missed Gods basic mark of standards for His creation thereby we have all sinned and are in need of a saviour to appease God

[bullwhipjesus]

Well you better get out there and start killing gays, and stoning unruly children like your immoral god wants you to do then.

There is only flaw to the argument of God's plan: Causality, cause and effect, action and reaction. Causality is the only real truth. There is no escape from it, for we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it. To understand the why. Why is what seperates Man from beasts. Why is the only true source of power. For without it, we are powerless.

[MaceAce7]

lol u got this shit from the fuckin matrix...LMAO

[popecorkyxxiv]

Yes, but it remains true. Causality is the root nature of the universe. The more we begin to understand that the more our species has acheived, looking deeper into the why. We have tracked Why down to the quantum level, and are just now beginning to see even farther into the cause of existance. If you want the true nature of reality do not look to stories of men in the clouds, look to the Determination of man upon this Earth.

[popecorkyxxiv]

Another good reason to use that quote is that the Matrix plot is a conflict of philosophies in a way. Each major character group represents a different philosophical concept about the nature of reality:

The Merovingian is Determinism. The Architect is Probabilism. The Oracle is Fatalism. Agent Smith is Nihilism. And Neo is Free Will.

I personally think the Merovingian had it right, we have no true Free Will. Only Will bound by self and situation both of which are dictated by causation.

One does not gain salvation by saying or repeating a prayer. There is not one verse in the Bible that says we must pray to be saved. The unadulterated gospel found in 1 Cor 15:1-4 is Christ died, was buried and rose again the third day - Period. One must simply trust that Christ died for their sins, was buried and rose again from the dead the third day in total payment of their sins. Trust that and that alone and you are saved eternally.

[amyjo304]

If you look to Luke Chapter 11, you will find that when the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray, you may find your answer.

[JohnWBaker]

I did not have a question. But now that you mention it where in this prayer are they praying for salvation? These are those who have believed on the Lord and are saved already by faith, not by praying a prayer.

Look carefully for our Lord does not instruct them to pray in order to receive salvation. We find that today all our sins have been forgiven if we believe the Gospel of Grace - See Colossians 2:13. Thanks for your input and comment.

[amyjo304]

how can you believe without prayer? I do agree that you don't need to recite certain words in order to be "saved". Simply believing that he already knows your sins and therefore you don't need to speak about them or pray on them is like saying that it since my sins have already been paid for by the blood of Christ, than I can go out and sin and not have to discuss them with him because he already knows I am evil by nature. Maybe I misunderstood your initial statement because

[JohnWBaker]

That was my point, one does not say or repeat a prayer to be saved, they simply have to believe the gospel as given by St. Paul in 1 Cor 15:1-4. The danger is believing you are saved because you repeated a prayer when salvation is obtained by grace through faith, it is a gift not earned by any work we have done see Ephesians 2:8,9. For more search Glen Caneel and watch his videos on the Sinner's prayer.

What a load of tosh.

I have heard that no matter what Christians say they all are active homosexual meth heads.

[wyzzy]

I thought Christianity was against the gays.

Jeesus Chriiist!

[hammad83]

yes i am doing what GOD wants me to do. that is what Jesus said "GOD your will be done on earth as it is in Haven". that is what all the other prophets said, which transaltes into ISLAM. ISLAM means submission to GOD'S will and aquire peace by doing so.

I love cyberpastors! And I love Jesus too! We must go over the earth to tell the gospel, go boy!
