If salvation belongs to God, Christ Jesus, Jonah 2:9; Ephesians 2:8-9?
then why people rely on their leaders or to their own way? instead of seeking God, Christ Jesus sincerely and not just trusting men for their salvation? Isaiah 55:6.
Are people just lazy to find the truth? Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Act 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
Act 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Hi Rallie,
I don't how you understand verses in the Scriptures.
Deu 24:16 - God Christ Jesus is telling us that we are to pay our sin.. which is answered by Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
again Ezekiel 18 particularly verse 9 shows that salvation belongs to God alone... Eze 18:9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
and it is parallel with Romans 1:17.
Hi Rallie,
Jer 31:27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
Jer 31:28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
nothing that we can see here that we can saved ourselves.
For God, Christ Jesus said;
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
So, now tell me if you can saved yourself by your good works or by following or trusting men on their inventions like those in the Vatican city? Jonah 2:9; Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-6.

Yes, I agree. Many churches have made a cheap faith, and invented another Jesus as a product with marketing strategy, as the world does it, which is why so many presume that they must do nothing, and that merely saying so is enough to save them.

sturdy question. specific, one in all numerous proofs that Jesus Christ is God. Watchtower has invented a Christ that may not be able to be discovered interior the Bible.

Jesus proved that he's God by using doing many stuff that throughout undemanding terms God would desire to do. those are suggested as miracles. He made lifeless human beings alive. He walked throughout a large lake. He made blind eyes see completely returned. He healed deadly illnesses with a observe. The exciting actuality is that Jesus is now additionally a guy, and could proceed to be so for all eternity. He humbled himself to alter into like one in all his very own creations. He chosen to alter right into a guy to help us in a significant way. This marvelous adventure took place approximately 2-thousand years in the past. the outcomes have replaced the worldwide consistently."

Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18 and Jeremiah 31:27 will tell you that salvation lies within yourself.
The leaders that you have are mere reminders of your faith and action to that faith in God. Time will come when there will be no more need for them to remind each one to know thy God because He will be in the minds and hearts of everyone. It is soon to come.

We are saved by faith through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross to redeem us from our sins and to impute His righteousness to us. Our salvation is by grace through faith and not by our works (Ephesians 2:8,9). We are saved just by confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord and by believing in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). God bless you.

Jesus delegated this authority to the pastralship and other ministerial authorities. Surely you are aware of the five-fold ministry; and you are familiar with teh scriptures saying to submit to (church) authorities. Also, we are to be READ the word of God, and to HEAR it; as well as to read it on our own. We are to be taught, and to learn from others. Don't just pick out certain scriptures to fit your particular belief, no scripture is for private interpretation, but ALL scriptures work together.
EDIT: Also, we are to use the scripture to test the authorities, to ensure that those we are submitting to are following God's word. If not, we are responsible for finding Godly authority.

Salvation does belong to God, but He gives it to us once we find His kingdom, that is by accepting Him into our hearts.
