If it was my blood trying to save myself...you would be correct ...a sorry sight I would be......yet that is exactly what you are trying to do.. save yourself, and it can't be done. I see you quote Paul and the writer of Hebrews several times.... How about these quotes from the same.. Acts 16: 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. Romans 15: 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation. 21 Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand." 2 Cor. 2:12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ... 1 Cor. 1: 22 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. Romans 10:4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Heb 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. To say Paul had Christ in him is correct. He had Him in himself in the person of the Holy Spirit. It is also interesting to note that everywhere Paul went, he went to the SYNAGOGUES first to reason with the Jews. What, if not Jesus Christ(good news, gospel, Christ crucified) did he reason with them about? dan

<<I don't want someone else to suffer for my errors. Wish you folks felt the same. What a selfish lot you are. >> While we were sinners Christ died for us, Romans 5:8-11. No one knew what Jesus was doing when He allowed Himself to be crucified. What He did, He did for us while we were still existing in the futility of our own minds. Jesus's completely selfless act was done for all mankind. We can only be eternally grateful to Him for it. We were helpless in the power of sin until He freed us, all those that believe. To believe is not selfish, it's accepting a gift freely given by Jesus to us. It was His act of sacrifice that saved us, we had nothing to do with it. As Paul wrote to the Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as the result of works, that no one should boast." No man can take any glory for Christ's work, all the glory goes to Jesus. Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
