@aimeesingssongs Define religion. Your power of discernment is muddled by a prejudiced postition. Jesus Christ followed the Jewish religion and started a new one. Yet, you think you are above the Lord? I'm not impressed.

@aimeesingssongs And your comment by the way, is very naive. To say it's all about rules and regulations, says you know nothing about the beauty of Catholicism!

@aimeesingssongs I'm Catholic and do not judge you. Caholic means Universal and of course Jesus didn't mention "Catholic" as he didn't mention the word "Bible" also. He didn't hand out Bibles to all of his followers. In the Bible itself doesn't say that you should follow only what the Bible says but it does say to follow Tradition also 2 Thes 2:14 (oral and written). Protestant Bibles are also incomplete. The first Bible that the first Christians put together was in the year 382 AD. (73 books)

it doesn't matter what "church" you go to, or what bible you read, all that matters is that You accept Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, believed He came to earth, died for all mans sins and that He arose to Heaven. The petty arguements over doctrine and bible translations is pathetic. Jesus doesn't want crud like this going on. He wants us to spread His word through the Great Commission and continue to serve Him by serving others. Take Care and God Bless.

@HeartOnMySleeve77 If you investigate a little bit further and go back WAYYYYY before the reformation and King James, the canon of the first Bible Old Testament and New Testament that the first Christians a.k.a. the Catholic Church put together was in the year 382 AD. (73 books). King James simply took the New Testament from the Catholic Church's canon and took the Old Testament from the 1500s Jews' "Bible" a.k.a. Tanaj that already had those 7 deuterocanonical books removed.

@ssabraham I have actually been to quite a few services and while some of the priest are very well spoken, the religion as a whole, is very misguided in my opinion. It's pretty silly to believe that books of the bible were removed by those that crucified Christ. The bible was put together by King James LOOOOONG after those who were involved in Christ's crucifixion, were dead. No conspiracy there. "The Church" and "Body of Christ" refer to the people, not a religious foundation.

The author of Can Anyone Really Know for Sure? admits that there is a false assurance salvation: "The New Testament teaches us that genuine assurance is possible and desirable, but it also warns us that we can be deceived through a false assurance. Jesus declared: ‘Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord" shall enter the kingdom of heaven’ (Matt. 7:21)."
Do you agree with this author or do you understand scripture better than he/she?

Regarding the issue of whether Christians have an "absolute" assurance of salvation, regardless of their actions, consider this warning Paul gave: "See then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off" (Rom. 11:22; see also Heb. 10:26–29, 2 Pet. 2:20–21).
This is pretty clear to me that salvation requires more than faith alone.

For many Fundamentalists and Evangelicals it makes no difference—as far as salvation is concerned—how you live or end your life. You can heed the altar call at church, announce that you’ve accepted Jesus as your Savior, and, so long as you really believe it, you’re set. From that point on there is nothing you can do, no sin you can commit, no matter how heinous, that will forfeit your salvation. You can’t undo your salvation, even if you wanted to.
Do you believe this?
-
Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; 5:31–46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of enmity and rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell.
Do you not agree that a person who has faith but also has an unrepentant heart cannot be saved?

We posted this video to celebrate the joy of coming to the fullness of truth of this committed Christian who is fighting the good fight for truth and the dignity of the human person no matter how small or defenseless. We did not post it to call into question whether the author of all truth, Jesus Christ, who is truth Himself, would even care about truth. That is absurd.
