Why are so few saved?

[grace2]

BTW, I can find tons of misgiving in your preaching too.

I just pick the most important things that you are so lacking.

 

[Rella]

Because Jesus says His Father is His God and our God.

He also says "God is one" of the most important commandments and you guys don't take heed of the most important commandment.

If you don't follow Jesus' simple instruction such as God is one, everything else you preach is meaningless.

You guys don't have pure servanthood Jesus takes seriously.

You guys don't have a pure heart to follow God and Jesus.

You don't have a submissive heart to God and Jesus.

You guys are lucking in the childlike faith Jesus talks about.

You did not answer why Jesus said to baptise in the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

And why did Jesus say when he was gone the Father would send the disciples another helper... The Holy Spirit?

NEVER MIND... YOU DONT HAVE TO ANSWER

I wont bother you again.

But will leave you with When I had my childlike faith is when His Spirit took hold of me and from that point it is all in His hands.

A sublime freedom I only wish you could experience....

You have heard it said.. Let go and Let God ????? So much truth in those words I cannot tell you.

Have I heard His voice directly? No, But God had my back in the most important way 3 times in my life and He performed a healing
upon my mother....

I know the Trinity is real... I know it from the very depth of my soul and as one of my favorite pastors would say.. I know it~ My know knows it.

I wish you to have a very blessed life and above all I wish for you peace because you seem so very troubled.

 

[grace2]

You did not answer why Jesus said to baptise in the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

If you have a childlike heart, you know why Jesus gives the instructions, and don't spread false gospel like you guys are doing.

You guys need a circumcised heart.

this is the first step that most of you lack.

then you can answer all the questions you may have.

You need a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

[grace2]

I don't take anyone seriously who does not take heed of Jesus' most important commandment "God is one".

There are non-trins who do not take heed of the "God is one" commandment such as non-trin speaking tongues believers.

Their focus is on speaking in tongues.

He also says "God is one" of the most important commandments and you guys don't take heed of the most important commandment.

When God declares that He is One, he is not stating that He is not triune. That is not even the motivation behind what He is stating when He says He is one. It isn't about numbers at all.

It is a contrast to every nation around Israel, including the one they were enslaved to for over 400 years----the idea that there were many gods. A god for this and a god for that. God says, "No, there is only one God who created all that is and is sovereign over all creation, rules it, governs it, acts in it.

Your smart. Surely you can see that what I said just might be true----the trinity discussion aside.

Nope, I don't take any triune god worshipper's explanation seriously.

Of course Jesus said that....do you not understand the kenosis?

 

[CrowCross]

Are trinitarians saved?

 

[grace2]

Triune god has no place for God and Jesus' world.

That is a disingenuous attitude, but that aside, my post had nothing to do with the Trinity. And it was not my explanation of anything. It is what the Bible makes crystal clear in the beginning account of the Exodus. You would have to read it in order to see it, so I guess that is out of the question. All you are really saying is you and what you believe are the only things that matter. Other people do not. What others may contribute to the conversation, do not.

That is how tyrannical dictators look at themselves and the world.

You don’t believe in the trinity, is that right?

I’m not claiming to know anything....who was the word?

Did the word walk the earth?

Roman Empire was a tyrannical dictator and you follow their core teaching.

 

[CrowCross]

If your Jesus isn't God...how can you expect to be saved by a simple mere man?

 

[Rella]

I just cannot wonder why one would wish to be part of a group that so obviously offends them.

A group that has 66 books as our handbook from the inspired writings of those who God the Father inspired to.

I wonder if it would it be dangerous or just foolish to live with such little knowledge of the written word and ignore the actual verses that many have supplied as if they were just not true.

And am more then curious as to where such a person got their limited information other then the churches they claim they attended but were offended by.

A person who tells a born again one "You need a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ... when said person has the Holy Spirit from God living within them.

A person who is purely afraid of the concept of a "Trinity" and more so of the concept of "tongues" both of which are biblical concepts.

WOW

Roman Empire was a tyrannical dictator and you follow their core teaching.

The Roman Empire was a joining of a corrupt RCC with the state as a power and economic grab. I am not Catholic. The church that became known as the Roman Catholic Church, which is what you are referring to, was very corrupt, and they taught a lot of heresies against the Scripture. That does not mean everything they kept that was in line with Scripture was wrong. The Trinity was one of the things the kept.

When the Reformers---who began as a part of that organization and attempted to reform it from within, but were instead excommunicated----brought Christian teaching back in line with the Bible (scripture alone, Christ alone, through faith alone, for the glory of God alone) they did not throw the baby out with the bathwater. That does not make the doctrine of the Trinity a product of the Roman Empire. It is a part of Protestantism because it is a part of sola scriptura.

 

[3 Resurrections]

Anyone at all participating in this post should know that they MUST reconcile the Matt. 7 "narrow gate" and "few" that would enter it with Christ also comparing the success of the kingdom of heaven in this world to LEAVEN which fills the entire ball of bread dough with its effects "until the whole is leavened". This effect of the kingdom of heaven permeating the entire world only appears to contradict Matthew 7 and its "narrow gate" with "few" entering it. That is because the "narrow gate" and the "few" entering it applied only to Christ's own first-century generation of ethnic Israelites. That limited "remnant" of a few of the ethnic Israelites believing in their prophesied Messiah, and the rest being "blinded" and not receiving Him was predicted by Isaiah 29:10. This "remnant" in Isaiah was quoted by Paul in Romans 11:5-7 as applying to "THIS PRESENT time" as Paul was writing in AD 60.

Those "many" who would be pleading "Lord, lord" and claiming to have cast out devils, and to have prophesied, and to have done many works "IN THY NAME" were ISRAELITES of that time period. Vagabond Jews such as the seven sons of Sceva the chief priest were attempting exorcisms, just as the Pharisees did in those days. These ISRAELITES were the "many" who in the judgment would be claiming to have done all those works in the name of their own prophesied Messiah. Though they shared the same ethnic descent as Jesus Christ the Messiah, by their rejection of Jesus as the Christ, this proved they did not belong to the family of God, and so were told to depart, with Christ saying, "I never knew you".

The limitations of the "narrow gate" and the "few" entering it must also be reconciled to Christ's example of the mustard seed's growth into the largest of all herbs, and the incremental growth of Daniel 2's "stone" kingdom of Christ which was to grow into a mountain that "fills the whole world". Even the gates of hell would not be able to withstand this progress of the kingdom of God increasing the numbers of those added to His kingdom.

Christ's own example of the "wheat" harvest with only some of it being "tares" is representative of the majority percentage of humankind that are considered to be children of God who will be gathered into His "barn" with the "tares" being burnt up. If it were only a minority percentage of that "harvest" that were children of God, there would not even need to be a "barn" to hold the crop. You could have put the minority of the saved "wheat" into a bushel basket and made a bonfire in the field to burn up the majority crop of the "tares'. But that isn't the picture which Christ presented in that comparison.

God's elect family forms the majority of all mankind - not just a tiny minority. He is "bringing MANY sons unto glory". The overwhelming evidences are there in scripture that the elect compose the majority percentage of the total of mankind ever conceived, from one-celled human zygotes up to those the age of Methuselah. God is not as stingy with His adoptions as some believers consider Him to be.

But you follow Roman-empires' teaching of the trinity.
