The only thing this guy left behind was the truth...


Hope this helps...
OK now I get it now ….church of Christ. I’m sure there’s lots of well-meaning good Christians in that particularly very legalistic denomination. You don’t happen to be one of them. I tend to stay away from any group that says they have it all right.

Do you mean death on the cross, resurrection, and the grace of salvation?
The "finished work of Christ" is a Christian doctrine that states Jesus' death on the cross completely atoned for all human sin, meaning that through his sacrifice, there is nothing further required for a person to be saved and reconciled to God; essentially, Jesus "finished" the work of redemption by paying the debt of sin once and for all, as expressed in his final words on the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30).

Yet the New Testament is clear in that we must hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized. Then live the Christian life to the best of our ability. And that those who don't will lose their soul. I can see why you reject the Bible because you don't believe any effort on our part is required for salvation.

Yet you reject the Doctrine of the “finished work of Christ”.

I am truly sorry that what Christ did was not enough for you.

Correct his work was finished, but we had Have to accept it and spread this news to others And remaining him According to John 15

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love

Do you believe we have to ask for Him to become our savior, come into our life and make a covenant to follow Him (become saved/born again)? Or does His death and resurrection mean everyone goes to heaven now?

Does God have to believe in us or do we have to believe in Him?

Do you believe God would force someone to go to heaven?

Well of course we have to believe. And no I don’t believe he would force someone. So does that mean your answer is part one or part two of my questions lol? I think I know but for some reason you won’t just say it
