Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesBeware of this Different Gospel of ChristYou are making a lot of assumptions. I know and believe that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Now, I do not know what translation you are using but where do you get "eternal"? Tell me John10:10, what is more important defending a doctrine or believing God and preaching the gospel? Ephesians 2:4-10 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. NAS I can and do rejoice with, as you put it "Christians" who believe. Now what about those who do not believe God because of a manmade doctrine? Unlike many who raise doctrine above faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I have not posted people who accept or deny the Trinity are not saved based on doctrinal prejudice. I have not questioned your salvation, I have questioned a doctrine and used Scriptures, which you refuse to address as the basis for questioning this doctrine. A doctrine that was first adopted at the First Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. where Jesus was first declared to be God and then expanded to include the Holy Spirit as the 3rd person of the Godhead in 381 A. D. at the First Council of Constantinople. Here is the original Nicean Creed: Here is the ammended Nicean Creed: Now what did the prophets write? Psalm 2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. And: Joel 2:27-28 27 "Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame. 28 "And it will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. Now why can't you rejoice with those who reject a manmade doctrine who know that Jesus is the Lamb of God, is the only way to the Father, and is the only mediator between God and man? |
