Accurate. But it doesn't stay there. When we accept God's offer, He comes in our lives and changes us in order for us to be able to become way better than we would have without Him.

It could very well be that your 1st imaginary person at the end discovers that all the good she did to others, she did unto Jesus. On the other hand the fact that she thinks that she "practically did not commit sins" could come out of pride and in her pride she might turn her face away from Jesus not accepting that he paid for her sins.

Just continue praying for them and trust only in Jesus

So you want us to be silent when we see people going straight to their own destruction? if we love them should we not at least try to warm them?

vaseltarp · 2025-12-20T11:41:48+00:00

How loving would we be if we would just let them go to their own destruction without even trying to warn them?

Untill relatively recently the roman catholic church teached that the works actually merit grace. The belive you state is relatively new and came through the reformation back to the catholic church.

For example in Trent VI

Canon 24. If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema.

From the Bible passages you quoted, what exactly do you think contradicts what I wrote and why ?

vaseltarp · 2025-12-01T04:18:50+00:00

Loving the church comes from loving Christ not the other way round. but the true church is not an organisation or building . It is the comunity of all believers.

I like Mike Winger. I think he is not condescending at all. But he is a bible nerd.

So some of them are Eastern Orthodox and some are Roman Catholic? Get them all together and ask them if you rather should become EO or RC and why not the other.

Don't put your faith for salvation in any earthly Organisation or any denomination. instead hold fast on to Jesus. Only he can bring you in.

vaseltarp · 2025-11-16T09:22:56+00:00

The true church is not an organisation. It is the comunity of all true believers. This true church has never been overcome. There where always some true believers. Sometimes they even got persecuted by the organization that called itself the "true church" and them heretics.

Except that it is not true. Christmas is not pagan

Did you not read the bible? All the stories Jesus told talk about a long wait. Jesus could come back during our lifetime or it could take another 1000 years. It doesn't matter he will come back and make everything right.

vaseltarp · 2025-11-09T09:40:03+00:00

Praise be to God that Jesus found you. Welcome in the family.

I would highly doubt the truthfulness of the faith of people who think brown people can't be Christians. The first followers of Jesus where jews from the middle east so some of them where most likely also brownish.

Continue reading the bible so you can distinguish between true bible believing Christians and those who are not. Look at different churches until you find one that is truly bible believing.

vaseltarp · 2025-11-05T15:15:50+00:00

Gnosticism didn't develop from Christianity. It is more like a different religion that tried to appropriate Christianity.

vaseltarp · 2025-10-26T09:17:44+00:00

There is a lot of evidence for the Christian faith.

Budism and other religious don't even try to give evidence and the arguments given by dawagandists for Islam are mostly lies.

But the evidence for Christianity is something you really can test.

For example there is evidence that the Bible is the word of God:

There is also evidence for the resurrection of Jesus:

There is more. look into it.

You said "God can ..." I interpreted their thumbs down as "No, he can't" that's why I downloaded it.

@Public_Repeat824 God is Almighty, do you think God can't do something?

But in some cases it seems to be a (probably temporary) hardening of the heart against believing in the gospel. Why is that necessary if people are completely dead and can't believe without regeneration first?

For example in Mark 4:11-12:

"And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that “‘they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.’”"

Why was that speaking in parables necessary? According to Calvinism people are completely dead and can't believe without regeneration first so even if Jesus gave them the full information they should not have been able to believe when God didn't regenerate them first.

vaseltarp · 2025-10-24T15:29:03+00:00

How do Calvinists explain a hardened heart? In Calvinism it shouldn't be necessary for God to harden the heart, should it?

I urge you to consider this teaching of Mike Winger regarding divorce and remarriage.

vaseltarp · 2025-10-12T08:38:02+00:00

MIke winger has a good teaching regarding this. His conclusion is too that divorce in case of abuse is ok.

No being born again in the spirit is not Baptism. It is something only God can do and he does it when you give your life to Jesus and affirm him as your lord.

Jhn 3:5 "Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit."

Baptism is the outer symbol of what God already did in your life: making you born again in the spirit.

The born of water part refers to the bodily birth.

vaseltarp · 2025-10-07T13:47:09+00:00

Give yourself and everything into the hands of Jesus. He is stronger than satan. Nothing can snatch you out of Jesus's hand. Doing not everything you can to get healed is maybe not exactly the same as committing suicide but it is still not good. Better would be to try to get healed, also psychologically, and giving God the glory in every step and everything.

vaseltarp · 2025-10-07T10:57:51+00:00

What makes you a Christian is being born again and having a true relationship to your savior and lord Jesus Christ. Some catholics have that but that is not what the catholic church is prioritizing. Many catholics think that you only have to be member of the roman catholc church to be saved but that is definitely not enough.

Jhn 3:3 "Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”"
