@Faithful2Pray Boy, cherry picking only the women of only one of countless religious persecutions doesn’t exactly exonerate the Catholic Church. Here are some estimates from grok:
@JohnathanP27567 You cannot defend your statement. What action did David’s infant son who died and went to heaven do? You say it was required. I’ll help you: He didn’t do anything. Salvation is of the Lord, as the scriptures say.
@614clinton Every person in heaven from Adam to whoever is saved the same way and that is by God alone and by nothing he has done. No works or sacrifices or anything else did it but God alone.
No, I don’t think you believe that. And your evidence refutes what you claim those people who have nothing to do with me believe. Your assertion is that salvation “requires an action”” from the one being saved. Yet you cannot tell me what action David’s child did to be saved. And it sounds like we both agree he is in heaven.
Lol. Kind of a self-own when you post as evidence things that show that you did not tell the truth. So does this mean you still can’t explain how David’s son, who is in heaven according to the Bible, did some act to earn his salvation? Or quickened himself? Or mustered up faith on his own so that he would merit salvation? Is that why you keep bothering me about people I am not in fellowship with.
@JohnathanP27567@sola_chad You sure misquote a lot of scripture. Maybe you should just explain what this act of the infant was that got him saved. We know that David’s infant son is in heaven. Did he muster up faith or get himself born again? No, God saved him.
Again, I’m not a Calvinist, but they don’t believe that either. You misquoted Romans 10:9 and added to the scripture words to change its meaning that are not there. And you should compare scripture to scripture. Lots of verses about salvation and it should be very clear that God does it not you.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
I’m not a Calvinist. I have never heard of anybody that believes most infants go to hell. Why would you be so offended that God doesn’t need your help. No offense but who are you? I imagine you are just a poor thinner like myself. What makes you think that salvation is of the Lord plus you?
No, salvation does not require an action on a person’s part. What action does an infant that dies perform? What action does a mentally retarded person perform? Lazarus was dead and could not make himself alive. We were dead in sins and God quickened by the Holy Spirit. Then people don’t choose to become alive.
