Ok,
I’ll go one by one,
1. I will state on the subject of judgment the following:
- Rom 3:9-20 clearly states that we all have sinned, there none righteous, not one! Also, Rom 9:22, “...for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God!
My message to the unbeliever is very straight forward, just based on those two passages stated above. The Bible has plenty of scriptures to address the sinful nature of man, and as Paul stated in Acts 17:30, that God commandeth everyone to repent, and He will judge the world on the appointed day in righteousness! If I’m willing to fully repent of my sin, understand that by grace alone I have been saved, there is nothing in me that wanted God or even can do a smallest of things for my salvation. God by His Mercy and Grace and the work of the Holy Spirit, is able to quicken even the most deplorable of man, give him a totally new life, give a new heart, and be called a child of a living God. So if that happens in a person’s life, the list of things that I had in my previous message applies to everyone who believes and recognizes their true condition.
2. I’m not understanding what you mean “exempted”, from what?
Please clarify.
I believe that a born again believer in Christ, has a lot of responsibilities. Paul in almost all of his writings, and even Jesus stated that being a believer you are the light and salt of the world. About dealing with sin in your life, about running the race, about examining yourself if you are still in the truth, about not compromising with the world. So, I’m not sure about exemptions and from what.
3. I never stated anywhere that everyone will be SAVED, therefore your assumption here is incorrect. What I said is that everyone will live forever, if I can call being in hell for eternity is some sort of life. Everyone will stand before God and give an account, and there are only two places that exist, heaven and hell. Everyone will be in one or the other!
4. Regarding you comment in post 6,
There are things that I cannot talk about or address on this forum regarding that subject, I’ll just state this, the people that follow Judaism, in all forms and sizes, do not worship the God of the Bible or have anything to do with the a God of the Bible.
