Originally posted by shavixmirI picked this passage because many do not do sermons on it and I'd like to see what everyone would come up with. The passage is showing how it does not matter how many messengers are sent to teach truth, many will not head to the warnings that are given, and thus will not believe Christ himself. I also know that some believe Christ was showing us what it would be like if we were in Hell, being able to see those in heaven.

Originally posted by Rajk999I do believe in once saved always saved as long as the salvation is a true one. No, I do not believe that works are optional. I believe that a true believer will do the works. I believe that works are the result of salvation not the cause or part of the cause. I also do not believe that just saying you believe and getting baptized is what saves you. Works without merit are the fruit of those saved. If someone wants creadit for the works they are doing them in vain and you have to wonder if they are saved or just wanting merit.

Originally posted by pritybettaRead the context of the verse. It has nothing to do with what we are talking about.
.....Luk 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
