We've all sinned and are worthy of hell. God sent His Son to die for us on the Cross. He was resurrected and those who believe in Him will inherit eternal life.
What does the Holy Bible mean by:
Ephesians 3:6 (KJV) That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
@ZazCarla Carla, itโs okay to quote the Bible. Encouraged even.
I get the point about the dangers of taking verses out of context. But I get a little fatigued by this constant attempt to shut down engagement with the Scripture.
What are the implications of this verse
Ephesians 3:6 (KJV) That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
โYou are not very good at this buddy.โ
Daniel is right. I am not. I am not a scholar. Neither am I Calvinist nor Arminian. I just seek to love the Lord and better understand His holy infallible Word.
Oh.. right... so you are a stealth calvinist then.
Yall are a half dime a dozen.
"Im not a calvinist! I juat abuse scripture the same way, make the same out of context arguments, and exclusively listen to and watch People likw Paul washer, james white, voddie baucham, RC Sproul, John Piper, John MacArthur, Jeff Durbin..... but I am not a Calvinist! I just believe in TULIP and PSA and the Doctrines of Grace and that "God is Sovereign" and "outside time" and I affrim the 5 solas, but I can't even add the IN HIM because that would kill my determinism."
You are not very good at this buddy. .
The evolutionists have made a mistake. They claim that animals have a common ancestor. When what they have missed is that animals have a common creator.
No offence intended. Salvation is all Christ. But reward for our labour is clearly plainly taught. Youโre trying to impose your framework onto the Scripture.
Matthew 16:27
โFor the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.โ
Matthew 25:21, 23
โHis lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.โ
Luke 14:13-14
โBut when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.โ
Revelation 22:12
โAnd, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.โ
@Matthew56193629 Sure. The elect. Not sure how that changes things. I donโt want to win an argument with you Matthew. But nor do I want to bend the Bible to my instincts. I am a blank canvas for Scripture to paint on.
@NieuwsF What do you make of these verses brother? And donโt read your existing view is. Take some time to study the Scripture and let paint the picture. Love you my friend ๐
People say Gen Z has no work ethic (something I would strongly dispute) because they do not have as much career progression.
Our great great grandfathers could only earn a fraction of what we earn and yet worked far harder than any of us today.
@zacharydparks So I guess you believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is a socialist paradise! It isnโt! You will spend eternity either with riches or as the least in the Kingdom of heaven. Works do not earn salvation, but they do bring heavenly wealth.
Clearly, plainly taught.
