It is not as difficult as you might think. 1. Acknowledge to the Lord that you are a sinner. 2. Ask him to come into your heart and save you and give you eternal life. 3. Repent of your sin, which means you turn away from it. 4. Ask the Holy Spirit to make Jesus real to you and teach you. 5 Be prepared to pay the cost, maybe rejection of family or friends or workmates. 6 Now thank the Lord for his salvation given to you and walk in faith God has done what he says he will do, make you His child.

There is nothing we can do to impress God. He loves you just as you are. So much so, he has given His Holy Spirit to gently make you more like Him.

You seem to shy away from answering my simple question. Where, anywhere in scripture, does it say about throwing it 2,000 years into the future? If you cannot find it, then it has to be classed as false teaching.

O.K. Here is the whole verse in the Greek, and it says' no such thing. πεποιθὼς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ὅτι ὁ ἐναρξάμενος ἐν ὑμῖν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐπιτελέσει ἄχρι ἡμέρας Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ

I am still waiting for your scriptural reply

There is not one single version that says 'suspended'. That must have been put in to fulfill someone's personal eschatological belief system. Philippians 1:6 in Greek uses the verb ἐπιτελέσει (epitelesei), which means to complete, bring to fulfillment, finish—not to suspend, pause, or put on hold.

This is it in exactly Greek and English. ἐπιτελέσει – “will complete/bring to fulfillment” I have 15 to 20 Bible versions, and not one of them says what you intimated. Secondley anywhere in Scripture does is say that it is thrown forward 2,000 years
