He died and was buried but woke up on the third day and rose to heaven

He (Jesus Christ) is the only man that died, woke up and never die again in history of mankind

chiommy123:
So once I believe and behave anyhow I want heaven is my home. You should stop deceiving people. Even the Bible says no unclean thing shall enter into heaven and we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound God forbid

lerrytunechi:
Please read your Bible very well you can tell Jesus wasn’t crucified.. instead it was made to appear to them
He was ..
 
Let us expose the following facts:
 
Jesus made it clear that crucifixion was not his purpose (Matt. 9:13, 12:7, Mark 1:38, Luke 4:43, 19:10)
 
The apostles did not believe Jesus rose from the dead (Matt. 28:17, Mark 16:14, Luke 24:11).

The apostles did not expect Jesus to rise from the dead (Matt. 16:22, Mark 9:30-32)
 
Jesus never foretold his crucifixion (Psalms 20:6, 18:50, Matt. 26:39)
 
Jesus did not want to die, he was unwilling (Mark 14:26, Luke 22:42-43)
 
God promised to save the Messiah (1 Chron.16:22, 2Chron. 6:42, Psalms 28:
 
Christians believe the exact opposite of the Bible (Proverbs 21:18)
 
The Bible rejects human sacrifice (Deu. 12:31, 2 Kings 17:17)
  

alBHAGDADI:
Sorry Chioma, you got it all wrong.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But God gave us his son so that we will be made righteous.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

As long as you are still in the flesh, you will sin. But your spirit is saved. Your flesh will be destroyed but eternity is for your spirit. By the way, you have backed your stance with no Bible verse. You only quoted Philippians 2:12

Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

You quoted the verse without proper understanding of what it's saying. You probably think it is saying that you should work to save yourself. Then what's the need for Jesus dieing on the cross?

The verse is simply saying that we should show out that which God put inside of us. God has saved us already, He now wants us to show fruits of our salvation. Those fruits are what others will see that will make them change and believe in Jesus as well.

Let me give you one example. When you go to the gym, what do you say you are doing? You say you are working out. You already have hips and curves which are what God deposited in you. But to make them more pronounced, you go to the gym to work them out. When your friends see your new look, they marvel and ask how you did it. That's when you tell them about working out at the gym. They get motivated to be like you, so they go to the gym too.

Same thing with a very wicked man whom everyone avoids because he is toxic. All of a sudden, he becomes kind and loving to a very strong degree. Don't you think people will wonder about the sudden change? He will tell them Jesus changed him and out a good heart in him, that is why he is showing kindness unlike before. This can make many to draw near to Christ.

Now the passage in Philippians which you quoted, had it been you read the next verse, you would have understood better. The next verse will make you understand what I've been saying since.

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

God worked salvation in you and wants you to do his good pleasure. That's why he said you should work out that salvation so that people will through that get saved as well.

You also asked if we should continue in sin so that grace may abound. Yes, Grace abounds even more when there is sin.

Romans 5:20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

alBHAGDADI:


You are a candidate of heaven because you believed in Jesus Christ as your saviour who died for your sins.

Your case is no different from that thief on the cross who begged Jesus to remember him when he gets to his kingdom. He was a thief like you who was getting killed for his sins. While he believed in Jesus, the other thief rejected and even mocked Jesus. He got saved while the other got condemned.

Do you think it is in your best interest to become an armed robber after accepting Jesus? Ask those in maximum prison what they are facing. Most of them don't even know what an Android phone is; they don't know what Instagram and Facebook are. They are regretting their actions. Don't you think the life of an armed robber will make you end up like them? Is that what you want? If you get killed as an armed robber who believed in Jesus, you will make heaven. If you get sentenced to prison, you will still make heaven. afterwards, but you will regret a lot in prison. where you won't have freedom. That is why as Christians, we should avoid sin.

spartoo:
My dear op. If a man says he believes in our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and still goes ahead to commit sin then he is not fit for heaven

dan3214e:

WRONG,
it is written"Except your righteousness exceeded the righteousness of the pharisees ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Mathew 5:20
And it is written" Be ye perfect as your heavenly father is perfect" Mathew 5:48
Snd it is written"Blessed are those who tast and hunger for righteousness sake,for they shall be filled.
Mathew 5:6
This are the commandments and words of our saviour JESUS Christ. Our standards

duality:
Matthew 7:13-15 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.



The @op is a false teacher...

The scripture told us of his like.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.

The agenda is to kill God / heaven consciousness in man. In preparation for the reign of the antichrist.

alBHAGDADI:


The first Bible passage you quoted actually proves my stance. How many preachers teach what I taught in the OP and how many people believe it? Just a very few

How many teachers teach the opposite of what I taught and how many people believe in their teaching? Majority.

That shows you that the majority are on the broad way which leads to destruction, while the few who believe what I taught which is biblical are on the narrow way that leads to life.

Perfectbeing:


They actually take that passage out of context. The narrow way is called narrow cos there's only one way (which is Christ) to God. The Broadway is called broad cos there are numerous ways.

xeros20:

The consequences of this message is to miss lead people. Now he is thanking you for telling him to continue in sin, that he will still go to heaven.

alBHAGDADI:

I m always happy when I see people who understand the Gospel.
Thanks

Perfectbeing:


On the contrary, the op is Christ centered. He teaches that the only way to be saved is through Christ and not goodworks. Any other message apart from this is other gospel. Any other .message apart from this is an anti-Christ gospel.

Remember Cornelius. He was a good man who did good works. He gave to the poor and needy. But he didn't know christ. If he had died in that conditioned he'd have gone to hell. His good works can't and would never have saved him. God being a merciful God didn't want his good works to go to waste. So he sent Peter to preach to him. Cornelius along with his household believed and were saved. Christ alone can save and not good works..

Triangles1:





So all Muslim Hindu Jews are going hell...... Believed me I've met numbers of non Christianity that are full of love than church goer, religion came wrongly to me os a scam

duality:



You and the Op, are wrong and you can choose to remain so. Let God be the judge.

Show me your faith and I'll show you corresponding faith work.

If you are saved, you must bear fruit unto salvation.

Anyone can claim to be saved by grace, but by their fruits, you will know them.

Jiggaz, Albhagdadi, Doughziay, u guys re the bomb!
I m always on the look out for those hu bliv n preach the true, pure, undiluted gospel of Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ thru faith alone. I m happy to high heavens when I find one.
The dearth of preachers hu understand God's grace /plan of salvation is very depressing to me. All our 'celebrated' preachers don't even understand the very basic foundation of our faith - GRACE!
U re not a christian if u aren't saved n if u don't understand God's grace thru whc He saves us, I don't know how u became (or claim to be) a christian.
People need to hear the true gospel. The sad thing is, wen this pure n simple message of the gospel is presented to them, they would rather hold on to their man-made plan of saving themselves by working to complement God's grace. It breaks my heart!
Brothers, thank you for spreading the true gospel. God will surely bless you..

alBHAGDADI:


When you are saved, you receive the Holy Spirit. And below are His fruit.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

adelee777:

Try dusting that white powder around your nose, son.

alBHAGDADI:


You didn't understand that part. Yes, Christ has paid for our sins, this means sin cannot prevent us from eternity with him.

But when we sin here on Earth, our loving father can decide to punish us for it here on Earth. That is His way of correcting those He loves. If you steal, you might get caught and sent to jail. Stealing is a sin, going to jail for it is facing the punishment for the sin. But whether you face it or not, such sin cannot make you lose your salvation.

Do you get it now?

1StopRudeness:


Please dont mislead people..with this once saved ever saved message.....u are one of those people that don't connect the right verses of the Bible for proper interpretation..
For example ...u know what math7v7 says.... These verse has turned many people to atheist...because at some point they have asked but never received..and later concluded..there is no God..since that is easier to conclude, the back it up with science. Saying there no proof of God.

But if they had read the book of James which clearly talked about doubt and the will of God in prayer....in addition to John 15v7..... They would realise God cannot be used like a herbalist that u can just breeze in and breeze out..he wants a relationship with us via his spirit.
The same thing u are doing here, u are refusing to connect scriptures properly..Paul clearly said in 1corthians 15v2 :if we hold not firmly to the gospel preached to us it will be like we believed in vain.

Don't forget to connect 2tim 2v19:Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.....
Believing Jesus is the first step to heaven, unless u are like the their at the right hand of God who believed after few minutes before death..
Remember the parable of the sower, the 4 categories of people in this world after the hearing of the gospel..
Don't deceive urself oooo..or who were the people God was referring to in Rev3v15-18.....


And please ...this ur statement that God will punish christain for sins here on earth only but no sin no matter how terrible can take one to hell...please where is it in the Bible..??..please show me..

You ended up saying nothing.
