Is it your choice — to admit one and only one, and damn the other?Originally Posted by ActionJackson
There is only One who chooses. Are there any who would claim authority to overrule that One?

And thus the stupidity of the premise to begin with.

Don't you all realize that He has already chosen all of us?
What each one of us does with His free Gift is the only thing that qualifies or disqualifies us for admission to Heaven...
NO ONE has any righteousness except the righteousness that is IMPUTED upon each one who receives God's free Gift, Jesus Christ...
It's one thing to teach and discuss in love these things, but it's another thing to see what's going on here...
Why argue or be snide, over this? It's called wrestling with the scriptures to your destruction... Just accept what God has said and get over yourselves!!!
How dare we posit our superiority as though we had cornered the market on wisdom? Get over your silly selves! The only thing that is important is your full love for God and your full love for your neighbors!
There is only one thing that is more important than your feelings and it is this, "Are your neighbors saved?" If not, how come you aren't busy praying for their salvation instead of this "I'm holier than you are" spew I'm seeing here?
Quit wasting the time God gave you and get to work telling your neighbors His Good News! What is the Good News? You silly half-wit! God has reconciled us to Him through His Son, Jesus!
We are already reconciled to Him, but it's going to be wasted unless you start telling people about it.
Get busy and let's start supporting each other with love instead of this "I'm holier than you" game I always see playing out on this forum...
Somebody has to say this, or would you rather hear it from Jesus Himself?

Mat 22:37-40 (msg) Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.'
This is the most important, the first on any list.
But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'
These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them."

Amen. Jesus Christ so loved his fallen child that He accepted him into the fold at the very last minute. Grace is the free gift not earned. Believe in Jesus Christ and the gift is free for anyone with faith in Him.

Why are we talking about salvation, I thought we were talking about obedience?
Esquire
Eh...I think it had something to do with the OP's question. Who is going to heaven? One who is obedient to the Law, or one who is a believer in Christ, but does good works rather than trying to keep Torah.
Something like that.

Exactly. Torah keepers hate the concept. I'm not sure why unless it seems too simple. I have nothing against someone who wants to live back in the days of Moses and do as Moses did. If they still have faith in Jesus Christ then they'll see the Kingdom. I feel the same way about Catholics and Mormons. If they have faith in Jesus Christ then they, too, will see the Kingdom. The thief on the cross didn't belong to any particular denomination and yet he was with Christ in Paradise based on faith alone.

No sir. We're talking about faith that leads to salvation.

Does faith yield salvation and obedience?
