Greetings Haqihana,
You stated;
" Robert Hall, If you really believe in the Bible, then why do you deny that all people, good and bad, are God's people? At any moment in time, a thoroughly bad person can suddenly turn to God, and believe in Jesus Christ as his lord and savior, and become eligible to enter the gates of Heaven ".
First of all, You make alot of assumptions based on nothing else, other than what you think I said, and that from the futility of your own mind.
You believe and promote " another gospel ", certainly not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Only those who God has chosen, before the foundation of the world will be saved, the rest will receive justice.
You didn't choose Christ, He chose you ( if you are truly saved ) and out of that choice you came to Him.
You were ( are ) spiritually Dead and unable to make any choices........................dead people do not have any desires, especially toward God.
Those in the " flesh " cannot please God, says the Holy scriptures, but now, you would have people believe, that they can make a choice to choose or reject Christ.........................can't you see " If " this was possible and they chose Christ, this would be the best choice they could ever make.....................but it would violate scripture which says, " Those in the " flesh " cannot please God.
The choice is yours to make Haqihana, believe the Word of God or the tradition of man.
As for James and Brian, I respect and love them as true brothers in Christ and look forward to fellowshipping with them via this method.
This is the True Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;
" For by GRACE have you been saved, through faith, and NOT OF YOURSELF, it is a gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast. "
Please consider these scriptures in light of what you believe and assume.
Grace and peace be unto you.
