AntiChristian:It had been explained from the context but you refused to read. You asked for context, I gave you but refuse to comprehend. ERU, islam ti ruin life e This is the context of Romans 9:15-16 God said to Moses that he will have mercy on those whom he knows will be converted and remain with him, he will show mercy to those who, after they have sinned, return to him with a right heart. It is God's to give or to not give. He calls the ones whom he knows will obey and does not call those whom he knows will not obey. The used of God's mercy here is that even if we sinned, he will still show us mercy by forgiving us all our sins. As simple as ABC Oya dakun answer my question: Did Paul said it is mercy of God one needed to enter heaven? |

AntiisIam:Paul's submission is more general. Romans 9:15-16 discusses God's sovereignty in showing mercy and compassion. Here’s the context: Paul chapter's Argument: In this, Paul addresses the predicament of Israel and God’s election. God’s Mercy: Verse 15 cites God’s declaration to Moses about mercy, emphasizing that it is God who decides whom to show mercy to. Human Will: Verse 16 highlights that it is not based on human desire or effort but on God’s mercy alone. Theme of Election: This section illustrates the idea of divine election, where God chooses individuals for His purposes. Overall, Paul emphasizes that God's grace is not earned but freely given, reinforcing the theme of divine sovereignty. |

Faith is trusting in something that you can't point out even though you're working towards making it a reality. Jesus and Paul meant the same thing! |

AntiChristian:Olodo pataki omo, sebi DECEIVER IS AN ADJECTIVE WORD abi bawo.. You asked for context of those chapters and verses you quoted wrongly I corrected you and gave you the context but refused to answer my question. You gave your own context that is not different from the one I dropped and to still answer my question you turn it to comprehensive skills again.

| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:16pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:You always ask great questions. So here is the answer. Both Jesus Christ and Paul were inspired by the Holy Ghost so they are both right. Salvation comes by grace after you have done all that you can. I hope this puts your confusion to rest. |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by AntiChristian(op): 12:19pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
tctrills:No it doesn't except you can show me where Jesus preached both at the same time to somebody! |

SharonLoveth:Just because you don't know the answer to his question doesn't warrant insults. You should use this very good question as an opportunity to learn more and understand the bible better and not as an opportunity to fight. He is not a Christian but he asked a very good question that most christians should be asking. |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:25pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:You seem confused bro Jesus Christ preached and his apostles continued his words. Hope you know that all scripture is inspired of God. It's the same source. If you understand that all scripture is from the same source then your confusion will be over and you will understand. 2Tim. 3 Verses 16 [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: There is a reason why the bible did not end in Genesis. God continued to reveal more of his words up till revelations. Your ability to understand and accept this makes you a Christian |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by AntiChristian(op): 12:31pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
tctrills:This is another discussion entirely. Is salvation by God's mercy or works? The rich ruler that asked Jesus of eternal life, the first thing Jesus told him was to obey the commandments! This is works! Then Jesus said he should sell everything he had and give to the poor and follow him! Where did Jesus preached God's mercy plus grace? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:41pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:But I answered you already both are right. Both are scriptural. Let's go back to the teachings of Jesus Christ in the rich rulers story you quoted. After his followers asked him, Who then can be saved? In verse 25 he replied But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. So with your effort alone you can't be saved. This pretty much answers your question. |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by AntiChristian(op): 12:47pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
tctrills:Make it make sense. If you're saved by God's mercy then you don't need works! If it's works then works can attract God's mercy! But where Jesus talk am? Of course with God all things are possible. But will God make the rich man obey the commandments? Will God make the rich ruler sell all he has and give the poor to follow Jesus? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:51pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:Jesus tells you that as a man, it is impossible to attain salvation but with God salvation is possible. Does that not make Sense to you? Now let's put all the information together. Your good works can't save you. Only God's grace can but God gives his grace to those who work and make effort. Does it make sense now? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:56pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:Another verse to help you. John 1.12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: The power to salvation comes from God but the grace is given to his followers. |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by AntiChristian(op): 1:09pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
tctrills:Is it Jesus talking above? Show us where Jesus preached your thoughts? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 1:42pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:I don't get your question bro. Does it have to be Jesus for it to be true? Please explain why it has to be Jesus speaking |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by AntiChristian(op): 3:26pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
tctrills:Of course it has to be Jesus. Of what use is others speech? For example Luke 1:1-4 vs your last Timothy verse. |

First, salvation can be categorized into three. People get these issues about salvation wrong because they generalise he word without putting it's uses in Biblical contests. 1. Salvation, that means giving your life to Christ- is by faith. 2. Salvation also means all forms of solution to problems. This is by both faith and acts (works). 3. The third salvation is being chosen to enter heaven when we die. That's the final salvation. It is by faith and work. Which means faith ( knowing and believing the teachings of the scriptures). Works - acting according to teachings of the scriptures. |

butterfly777:Show us where Jesus classified it to someone in the Bible in this way? |

AntiChristian:The answer is both since there are two salvations. The first salvation which is of mercy is meant to lift YHWH's curse which He placed on all those born of the blood of Jacob beginning about 1900 years ago — the Last days; this curse is referred to as the condemnation of sin aka Death. This is the salvation Jesus Christ talked about in John 3 vs 1 -21. The second salvation is needed to then gain Heaven itself and again, only those who gain the first can gain the second. This salvation comes to those who, upon gaining the first continue on in continuous submission and obedience to God's Law(abide in Jesus Christ) and this can be found discussed in John 14,!14 and 16. . It is those who gain the second salvation that are described as the wise Virginia in Matthew 25 vs 1 -13, those who do works of righteousness in turn receive Heaven as reward - Matthew 25 vs 31 -46. ![]() |

AntiChristian:Sir, you can't ask s christian a question and decide who he can quote. But really, why should it be Jesus Christ. Do you have any special reason why you think he is the only one in the bible capable of teaching us his words. Please make it make sense. Why are you specific about hearing from Jesus Christ? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by butterfly777(m): 8:26pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
AntiChristian:This question look so baseless that I checked your name. And oh, I understood that you just want to be adamant once I saw that your name is antichristian. So, I reserve further comment. God will show you the truth. |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by butterfly777(m): 8:29pm On Aug 25, 2024 |
butterfly777:Meanwhile for the sake of other Muslims and non-Christians who want to learn. God spoke through many people for many centuries in the Bible, before and after our God Jesus Christ. So, saying Jesus must be the person saying everything before it can be accepted is baseless and coming from a biased mind. |

tctrills:He seems so confused as you said isn't it? Are you praising him with that statement of yours? |
| Re: Is Salvation By Works Or God's Mercy? Jesus Vs Paul! by tctrills: 12:25am On Aug 26, 2024 |
AntiChristian:Bro, the problem you are having is that you don't understand that the teachings of Jesus Christ apostles are an extension of his teachings. So it doesn't matter if it comes from the mouth of Paul or Peter, it's same as from the mouth of Christ. Now read the verses below to understand. The Apostles had the Spirit of Gid John 14:26 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. The Apostles are one with Christ and they speak his words John 17.20-21 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. In verse 20, Jesus Christ endorses the words of his Apostles. So you don't need to look only for the teachings of Jesus Christ, as a Christian you need to believe the words of his Apostles also. Do you get it now? |
