And there's only one way of doing so...acceptance, repentance, and living for God's will over your own. Jesus Christ is the only way to KNOW God's will. Life will never be the same for us. On this earth, there's no light at the end of the tunnel but to know Jesus means you're OK with it already. Want to know peace and have the ability to let go? Then say a prayer. Mean it from your heart. This is more real than any virus. The pestilence is here folks but God is everywhere. There's no other way to be right with God but through the blood of Jesus. For believers, this is an exciting time. The anxiety and uncertainty of not knowing what is probably going to end our short times on earth is no more. There are going to be more service, discipleship, and evangelism opportunities than possibly ever before in human history. Just remember what Christ said:
Matthew 16:25 - 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
and again, here in Matthew 10: 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
If i don't follow God constantly does my name get erased in the book of life and then when i repent again does it get re-written?
Joshua Johnson
AFAIK, salvation is eternal, but not all that think they are saved are truly saved.

Guys, can someone please explain to my why throughout the whole week every week I intend to go to church on Sunday, but then every Saturday evening a switch just goes off in my brain and I just don't want to. I went once and it was completely packed with boomers who kept coming up to me and asking me the same questions. So fucking awkward, especially as I am a bit of a socially anxious sperg. I missed it today too. What the fuck is wrong with me.
Brothers, once you understand what comes from service and discipleship, it's better happiness and more powerful than anything else you can experience on earth.
- the answer is there and it is simple -
Matthew 7:21 - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

(GO JESUS GO GO GO!) Hey look my family is reappearing in the Book of Life!
>Guys, can someone please explain to my why throughout the whole week every week I intend to go to church on Sunday, but then every Saturday evening a switch just goes off in my brain and I just don't want to.
It's spiritual warfare. When you are doing things that are following God's will for you, the enemy will try to use your flesh to stop you from doing God's will. I feel it this resistance even as I am typing this. Spiritual warfare is extremely real.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Sorry, I'm not worried about some gift of a heavenly afterlife. I'm worried about here. I'm worried about now. I'm worried for my race. I want to leave the world a better place for them. I believe in reincarnation. I've never understood the concept of heaven, and I was raised Christian. You cannot have the good, without the bad. Add to that Christianity is just a means of subverting our race, and isn't in our blood. If you aren't white OP, forgive me. You are free to worship your God.
of course there are seeds of satan on earth that are in power, again I would refer you to Ephesians 6:12. They only have power here if you let them. They can destroy your flesh but...
Matthew 10:28 - “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Caleb Russell
focus on eternal things because this life and this earth are passing away.
2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Matthew 6:19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

>god is dead >why yes, I did read Nietzsche. go back to plebbit
Why are you Christians canceling church en mass because of this pandemic? Where is your faith? Isn't Jesus often called "The Great Physician?" Is it unreasonable to expect him to protect his followers from infection during public worship?
Oliver Barnes
He helps those who help themselves.
Jordan Fisher
In other words, he doesn't do shit.
Christopher Morales
>And there's only one way of doing so...acceptance, repentance, and living for God's will over your own.
Make no bones about it, God is in control. God calls us all differently. God has made it clear to me to not attend church right now. What good will I be if I intentionally shorten my time to serve my fellow man and spread the Gospel?
Some dickheads are saying that God is dead. Nietzsche was the only person who truly believe on that and he got crazy. Even atheians have to believe in something like Science and sometimes believing in Science requires more faith That believing in God Sorry for the poor English

>thinking that what the majority of "Christians" do is Christian When "Christians" have the same message as the world, then you know they're not Christians. >Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. – Matthew 5:13
Brayden Martin
If "God" is in control, then this pandemic is just him culling the herd, huh? "God" told you personally not to go to church? Do you hear voices, or has reason started to speak louder in your schizo head than "Almighty God?" Christians should have no fear of this pandemic, or any disease. See nearly every verse in the Bible about how great and powerful God is. Jesus would intentionally approach lepers, heal them, and be unscathed. Peter was bitten by a venomous snake in the book of Acts and was unharmed. If you and your ilk are so essential to "God's" evangelism, why wouldn't he protect you?
Logan Watson
I am pretty sure that they are a cursed people and I also think that niggers don't have the capacity to become Christians, spiritually and mentally.

Ryan Bell
I thought the old Mosaic covenant was done away with? What are you doing following the old dead law that will damn you to hell, according to Paul. Perhaps you should stop eating pork and sea food as well? Stop wearing clothing with mixed fibers? Go to church on the Jewish sabbath? Maybe mix your own shit with bread and bake it, like "God" told Ezekiel to do? Or are you going to follow scripture selectively just like every other deluded Christian?
David Wilson
no thanks, christcuck
Ian Cook
I respect christianity for building europe and leading it so far sadly the satanists are taking over and everything is tumbling down I would like to save the world but at the same time I don't perceive society as being worth of saving
what does "prevail" mean? by who's standard? I can only do what God allows me to do. I have assurance via the blood of Jesus Christ that when my flesh passes away, I will be in eternal paradise. Nothing on this earth is paradise for long.
Jose Sanders
more lives are touched here than at a local church, especially in the current times
Samuel Mitchell
God's will is eternal and unchanging. What he wanted in the OT is the same he wants in the NT. Some adaptions have been made now that many important prophecies had been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. But God's morals don't ever change. Also, not every command God does is universal. He orders Noah to build an ark. Does that mean that everyone should buy arks all the time? Use your brain from time to time, and you'll be able to discern when something applies categorically and when it only applies to a specific situation.
Justin Ramirez
Lord Jesus Christ, please guide us through these harsh times and be our shield against the synagogue of Satan. Be our sword to destroy all that is of the devil. Please do not let us be led astray by fear, uncertainty, and lies. Be our foundation to stand immovable in the tides to come and guide us into good deeds. Amen.
Landon Cook
>people's lives are touched on Yas Forums LOL okay, Christfag. Are you guys going to perform baptisms online now? It seems that "God" himself isn't very good at evangelism. What if it was known that everyone who is a born-again Christian was immune to this pandemic? Don't you think that would be far more effective at spreading "The Good News?" Rather than coping on an image board? Whatever helps you sleep at night. Keep applying scripture selectively, picking and choosing the laws you like and ignoring the ones you don't. Also, the Bible tells me that my own reasoning is foolishness to "God," and only the "Holy Spirit" possessing me can make me choose rightly. Why would you appeal to my reasoning when my mind and heart are, ostensibly, hopelessly wicked?
Christian Myers
>God's will is eternal and unchanging. What he wanted in the OT is the same he wants in the NT.
Dann... I'd better kill an animal and set it on fire.
Hebrews 13:11
For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.
Aiden Collins
Unlike Islam, where critical thought is forbidden, in Christianity, we are called for critical thought and to study the scriptures properly, not just learn them by heart. >Why would you appeal to my reasoning when my mind and heart are, ostensibly, hopelessly wicked? I never said that they were, but if they are, then you'll get your just punishment. I am doing this to help you, but also to become more familiar with God's will, as in defending him, my knowledge of the bible becomes more connected. >not quoting the sentence that follows immediately >Some adaptions have been made now that many important prophecies had been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. All the offerings were just symbolically, and no blood on this Earth can cleanse away sins. It was just to show God that we repent and would like him to forgive. Now that Jesus Christ has given the ultimate sacrifice, all sins are washed away, and there is no need to sacrifice any animals any more.

Do you even know what these two lines mean, you fucking dummy? Particularly the horizontal line.
Pol isn't the best place to convert people. If you spent 5 mins on this site reading properly you'd know that.
Levi Wilson
You need to be actively avoiding sin
Jaxson Butler
>Pol >>>/reddit/ Yes it is a good place to convert people, because it's the only place where people who want to stop believing in the world's lies can come and freely communicate. Not everyone will accept the Lord, but not everyone can do so anyway. It will always be a large majority of people who will go to Hell at any point in time, and only a few elect will ever go to heaven. However, I think that Yas Forums is disproportionately Christian.
Caleb Robinson
I pray for you to be strong user.
Julian Rogers
No, you're not trying to help me, or anyone else. You're here to reinforce your belief system and are hoping that you can delude others into doing the same. I know for certain that you haven't studied scripture critically. If you had, you wouldn't be a Christian. Claiming that an Old Testament Jewish law about quarantining diseased people somehow overrides the mandates of your Christ who says, "It is not what goes into a mans mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out." He said this because a Jewish leader called him out for not washing his hands, and "the Great Jesus" decided to have a bitch-fit about it, instead of admitting the practical and reasonable thing: "Yeah, I should wash my hands before eating." He also regularly broke the Jewish law in regards to sabbath keeping. He'd heal people on the day in which that sort of thing was forbidden and twist the scripture when confronted about it, "Because I'm the ultimate Chosen One, synagogue of Satan! Swallow my BS or else!" Why is it unreasonable to expect such a renegade divine being to not protect his flock from disease? I already cited examples of the apostles being protected while they were out evangelizing. Again, where is your faith? You should be out in the streets preaching this gospel daily, as the apostles did. Not cowering on an anonymous image board. Are you afraid to be a martyr for your god? Jesus himself said to not worry about what you're going to eat, or what you're going to wear, "for the PAGANS worry about such things." Maybe you need to reexamine your Christianity, user, before pointing out the specks in everyone else's eyes?

once saved always saved friend
John 10:28 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 6:40 - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 5:24 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
once you are a newborn child of God there is nothing you can do to stop that doesnt mean God wont chasten you for sinning on earth, if anything saved people receive double punishment but youll never spend a second in Hell
ill pray for you user may peace everlasting reign in our hearts and minds from the daily renewing of Gods mercies upon us and our wretched state, in Jesus name I pray Amen
Asher Davis
The entire point of Jesus is that no one can follow the law. He payed the cost for all sign, past present AND FUTURE. There is NOTHING we can do to be holy in Gods sight. Our acts, deeds, worship, praise, and even FAITH are disgusting to God.
"While we were still sinners, God died for us." See, Christianity is the only religion where God fights to save you! All other religions are about an achievement and reaching God. Christianity says God saved us. He loved us enough to create us and save us. The Gospel is the good news that God loves you so much He sent the second person of the Trinity to save us. In fact, the ENTIRE bible is about mand fall and Gods plan to save everyone. The bible is not a bunch of tales with moral stories, it is ONE story about the redemption of man through Jesus Christ.
Liam Garcia

that said you must KNOW for certain that you are saved
Acts 16:30-33 King James Version (KJV) 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
