@fmf saidWe are all sinners, condemned already before God, fallen short, not good, evil as our sinful hearts are deceptively wicked. The standard is not comparing us to us, it is God and us, and only God is good.
Are you an evil man who deserves "damnation" just as much as I am an evil man who deserves "damnation"?
@fmf saidYes, none of us in our righteousness all deserve damnation. Keep in mind that God calls each of us; there is nothing in me that is different from you. He calls us. We either answer or no; some answer and walk away, some just play-act, but it is all Jesus, not us.
Are you an evil man who deserves "damnation" just as much as I am an evil man who deserves "damnation"?
@fmf saidYou understand, if it is all according to my beliefs alone, you have nothing to worry about, but if what Jesus said was true, only those who come to Him will be saved; the rest will die in their sins.
So both you and I are evil, I understand you. According to your beliefs, I definitely face "damnation" for being evil, right? What about you, are you definitely "saved" despite being evil?
@kellyjay saidSo just to be clear, you are definitely "saved" despite being evil because, you believe, what Jesus said is true?
You understand, if it is all according to my beliefs alone, you have nothing to worry about, but if what Jesus said was true, only those who come to Him will be saved; the rest will die in their sins.
@kellyjay saidSo, I understand that you are saying you're evil. You have described yourself as evil in the past too.
We are all sinners, condemned already before God, fallen short, not good, evil as our sinful hearts are deceptively wicked.
PB1002 said on page 7 that you are NOT evil.
Is he mistaken?
@fmf saidIf Jesus is true, faithful, and the Son of God, anyone who comes to Him can be saved.
So just to be clear, you are definitely "saved" despite being evil because, you believe, what Jesus said is true?
I'm not sure what you mean about 'despite being evil' as you are aware we are all sinners in need of a savior. Only God, our Savior, can forgive our sins!
