SALVATION ACCORDING TO THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE

[Colossus_500]

See Johnny this is one reason I feel that either you haven't read the bible, or that if you did, you didn't understand it.

As you may or may not remember, when Adam and Eve first sinned, they "realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."  Gen 3:7

After confessing to God that they ate of the only tree in the whole garden that He had told them not to, He "made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them."  Gen 3:21

The garments of skin were God's provision for restoring Adam and Eve's fellowship with Himself and imply slaying of an animal in order to provide them....a "sacrifice" if you will......a "shedding of blood."

As the bible further indicates, animal sacrifices were used as a "sin covering," and the best animals were called to be used, not ones that were inferior.

When Jesus came to die, He was the perfect sacrifice.  "Not one blemish was found upon Him."
And when He died, He died for all.....and once for all.  Sacrifices were no longer needed to Symbolize the forgiveness of sins.  See, God Himself had to die because no other sacrifice would be acceptable for such a task.

Read my post and if you don't think I refuted her post then address my post and explain where I went wrong.

That's how debate works.

I'm not in it for the debate, JA.  I just know you're wrong.  Deep down, I believe YOU know this is true as well, hence, this is why I believe you work so feverishly against it, arguing just for the sake of argument.  You truly don't believe the nonsense which you spew.

LoL....Typical christian response.


"I don't need to prove you're wrong..I just KNOW you're wrong and so do you!"


Do you really even believe the BS coming out of your mouth?

If you are asking do I believe in God and that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins....then.... YES!   

Meanwhile, you are getting extremely defensive, which tells me that you know deep down, you're not fooling anyone but yourself.  You are steady throwing punches, but only landing air.

Ok i'm done with your gibberish. Address my posts or stop wasting my time.

You critisize me for not addressing you yet you refuse to address my arguments and your only response is "I know i'm right".

That crap doesn't fly in any debate forum. You're making a joke of yourself.

Quite the contrary, JA.  But you keep thinking that.

Great topic STella, Heres some food for thought. If you want to believe but have some doubts about Jesus or God in the back of your head- are you still saved? Its only human to have doubts right?

Only God knows for sure but I believe that "he that seeks shall find!"

Does this work like some sort of "three step program" or sth?
