How do I accept Jesus as my Savior?

[God's Truth]

What is the preaching of Jesus Christ?

To do what he says to get saved, reconciled to God.

Not the same as the preaching of Jonah, because the preaching of the cross does not ask us to believe in Jonah to be saved but to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved.

You would get that all twisted.
Jesus said to REPENT and that the people of Nineveh will rise up in judgement against them because THEY REPENTED of their SINS>

1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God....
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Peter and James heard of the false faith alone doctrine and Peter calls people such as yourself unstable and uneducated and James says you are foolish.
After Peter says that about your faith alone doctrine, he warns us to OBEY, see 2 Peter 3:16, 17.
You like to say James didn't really mean we don't have to obey to be saved, you going to say that about Peter too?

 

[God's Truth]

I did not say that. Not sure how you can get that from this below;

"Basically, when the sinner does not look to himself but to Him as the WAY out and the way out is to believe in Him that He will deliver us from our sins, and not just give us eternal life for simply believing in Him to be saved.."

You are reading that comment wrong.

So you aren't trickily adding the truth in your false beliefs? lol

So you have to repent of your sins to save yourself? You do not need Jesus Christ as your Saviour then?

Jesus saves us all on his own and he tells us how to be the one he saves.

Clarity is needed from you.

I give you a lot of clarity, and I am patient.

You said infants are born knowing God. You haven't proved it, in fact, you go against the scriptures that say we are to teach our children.

In Mathew18:6 Jesus said, "these little ones who believe in me". You are confusing between babies believing in Jesus & being further taught about Jesus.

Simply because babies are taught as they grow up doesn't mean they don't believe in Jesus from birth. Believe what Jesus said rather than refute Jesus.

 

[Rhema]

Is that a paradox?

No. just weird.

 

[Rhema]

So in other words you believe, all things are not going according to The Will of “GOD” and not on course but veering to the left and right and not sturdy as she goes.

If you think it's the will of God for babies to suffer in horrible pain from cancer then you have an evil God.

And Jesus thwarted your The Will of “GOD” when He healed others.

(You really need to start thinking these things through.)

[Rhema]

Ok, The Bible do says:

“But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.”

And you're certainly the PosterBoy for that verse.

 

[Rhema]

God doesn't tell us we need to learn His Truth by learning another language.

Then you're relying on the competence and goodness of translators.
But they rely upon church tradition.
Don't speak in an area about which you know nothing.

Speak according to the scriptures or you don't have the light.
Nowhere anywhere are we told to learn another language to know God's Truth.

TRANSLATIONS AREN'T THE SCRIPTURES.
That's the whole point.
The Scriptures ARE written in another language.
Somebody had to learn them. You rely upon translators. I don't. I know better.
And if you don't know the language, then you aren't "speaking according to the scriptures."

It's that simple.

Yours is a circular argument. You are begging the question.

My wife would agree with you. Since all of you are “Ivy League” grads with Doctor. Degrees!
I ain’t nothing but a PloughBoy, Plowing behind a Mississippi mule. And happy! You don’t have call me Dr. _______..

I am Accustom too:

“Mr & Dr. Peabody” for over 30 plus year,

Or “Rev. & Dr. Somebody”. So I am used to, She married Down.

Don't belittle the education of others.

Or you wouldn't have a Bible in English at all.

Maybe she married Up in other areas...

Oh yea, you are one of those smart ones, meaning human minded.

For your information. “GOD” cannot be evil “GOD” can only Be “GOD” a dumb “PloughBOY” know that! You ain’t got to a “Rhodes Scholar” at Oxford to understand that.

Yea right, she must had been Awfully Dumb to marry me!

She was not smart as she thought!

 

[PloughBoy]

She have never got anything lower than a -A in all her life! From “Kindergarten to 8 plus years in college. Then she marry me! What a dumb move! She was supposed to marry a “ Heart surgeon”! He was crazy about her. And big time lawyer too!

I see you are having a hard time with this.
Nowhere anywhere in the scriptures does God say to know Him and His Truth one must learn another language.
We don't have to learn Aramaic, Hebrew, and Koine Greek.
God brings us His Word in our languages.
You can argue with translators all you want and you are no expert above a qualified translator...you can even become fluent in Hebrew and Aramaic and Greek,and even read the Bible a thousand times in English, and a thousand times in Hebrew and Greek, and, still, not know God's Truth, for understanding doesn't come from knowing another language or for reading repeatedly, understanding comes exactly how God says it does, and that is by OBEYING what He says to do. Again, nowhere does He say to learn another language.

If you had any common knowledge, you would know that what I say is not circular.

That is some pretty rough talk to ploughboy, but it sounds like you are speaking his language.

As for you bragging about scholars, what does God say about that, do you know?

 

[GodB4Us]

Jeremiah 8:6 I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. None of them repent of their wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Each pursues their own course like a horse charging into battle.


That is you ^^^
What have I done?

Remember Adam's sin by how all mankind inherited that sin? The sin of hearkening unto the woman's word and not God's word, thus not believing in God and His word is the knowledge of good and evil which was the cause of the fall?

So that is how sinners are saved by "what have I done" by acknowledging Adam's transgression of not believing God & His words, thus repenting from that inherited sin by believing in Jesus Christ & His words that by believing in Him thus how we are actually obeying Him, is how we are saved. It does please God to save those who believe the reaching of the cross without water baptism and without them needing to repent from all sins first as if overcoming sin in their lives before God felt obliged to save them.

Jesus did not wait for Israel to keep the Old Covenant before dying for them so that He can save all those who believe in Him. Jesus intervened to save Saul from his sins when he was on his way to commit more sins of arresting & killing more Christians. Where was the call to repent before Jesus had revealed Himself to him?

1 Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

And when Ananias was sent, he did not give the test or challenge to ease his own mind by saying to Saul to repent of arresting and executing Christians before laying hands on him for him to be healed and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

What was Saul's, now Paul's "What have I done?" sin? Not believing in Jesus Christ & His words to us. How did he repent? By believing in Jesus Christ & His words to us. Since saved, he looked to Jesus Christ daily to lay aside every weight & sin in running that race for the imperishable crown as his confidence is in Christ Jesus to finish His work in him to His glory as the crown(s) Paul shall receive are His crowning achievements in him for why no flesh shall glory in His Presence.
