Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Being a good person (whatever that means) is enough for salvation.

That's not what Jesus said:

John 3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

If you don't believe, you're condemned, regardless of how good a person you are.

Also, if you could get to Heaven just by being a good person, God's temporary sacrifice of Himself to Himself would have been in vain:

Gal. 2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

We are all God's children.

If that were true, why would Jesus give the saved (and only the saved) the power to become God's children?

John 1:12-13: 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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Others are the devil's children:

John 8:44: Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Miscegenation is okay because "there is neither Jew nor Greek."

I'm a little surprised that feel-good liberal "Christians" think they can get away with that, since it's such a blatant form of cherry-picking. Let's read the verse in its entirety, highlighting a part that they love to leave out:

Gal. 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Thus, insofar as that verse were to authorize miscegenation, it would also authorize "marriage" between two sodomites or two sodomitesses , but when I point that out, they pretend not to have heard me.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

The seven deadly sins

The Bible does not specify seven deadly sins. The current list is the invention of His Unholiness Pope Gregory I in A.D. 590. According to the following Bible verse, all sins are deadly:

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Just have faith and you'll get to heaven-works don't matter one bit!

James 2:24 "See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

There's no contradiction here. It's clear from the context that faith is understood to be a work. A True Christian's(tm) work is done by his faith.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Thus says the LORD:

"Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his way and live? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore, turn yourselves, and live ye."--Ezek. 18:23, 32.

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"--Ezek. 33:11.

You say I'm taking the verses out of context? In that case, I'd like to know what you say the correct context is!

Major Tom, you've been warned repeatedly against twisting Scripture to make it appear internally contradictory, something that God's Word quite simply cannot be.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Of course, inspired by God The Son, we have, "Ro:1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

It hardly smacks of loving them and did not Christ Himself utter the words,

"Lu:19:27: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Lu:19:28: And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Love the sinner, but hate the sin.

Actually, this is from that Christ-mocking hindaloo, Mahatmacoat Gandhi. God's Word says that we are to hate the sinner as well:

Psalm 139:21-22: Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Thus says the LORD:

"Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his way and live? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore, turn yourselves, and live ye."--Ezek. 18:23, 32.

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"--Ezek. 33:11.

Amen, Pastor! These limp-wristed false Christians run around mindlessly spewing lies like this, and they are just plain LYING about what the Bible says!

Matthew 13
[38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

I don't think there are any contradictions in the Bible, which is why I was pointing out another verse in order to further interpret the verses the good Pastor had already provided.

[Oakland "Reb" Griner]

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

You use Scripture to interpret Scripture.

If you find something you don't understand, search for more Scripture on that topic to help you understand God's Holy Word.


There are no contradictions in the Bible.

In fact, it is an abominable and astonishing blasphemy to even think that.

[Serenity-Millennium]

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

But then, what's the explanation? How do you reconcile it?

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Yes, but Pastor, doesn't the Bible also say that all human beings are the same as God (John 10:34, Psalm 82:6), so how can God hate us?

We don't take kindly to people who twist the Bible around to make it sound internally contradictory.
