essential for salvation:

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

The Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to the "Lost Sheep of the House of Israel."

Matthew 15:24: "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

It is not because it is hard to follow Him. All Jesus asks us to do our best to be helpful or loving.

If we do our best to be like Him, it will show to the world. And that's the mission for His followers; to be salt and light of the world.

Jesus looks into our heart.

Your faith is in yourself and not in Christ for your salvation. You'll never make it that way.

Meshak is speaking the truth, what don't you disagree with here?

Meshak is placing her faith in herself. Anyone who places their faith in themselves is placing their faith in a fool.

Fool.

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Fool.

Now, is that a nice thing for you to say? And here, I had such high hopes that you would've matured beyond name calling and would have gone on to bigger and better things. I guess my hopes for you were in vain. That makes me really sad, LA. However, I do accept your apology and we'll go from there, okay?

The Bible calls you a fool over and over.

Pro 24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
Pro 24:8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
Pro 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

Why do you make such obvious false accusation?

Look at the OP. Is that my word? no, it is Jesus' word.

You are the one with lying lips and you have no legitimacy to make accusation on anyone.

Get off the Good Samaritan Kick. It has nothing to do with salvation. We are saved by grace through faith and believing in Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

John 3:16 New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

[meshak]

Get off the Good Samaritan Kick.

That's how Jesus explains about salvation.

why do you disregard it?

I thought you claim Jesus is your Lord.

 

[Bright Raven]

Where do you see salvation in the parable? Explain it so that I can understand.

Did you read the OP?

 

[Bright Raven]

Did you read the OP?

Yes, all you did was quote the parable. You gave no explanation as to why you believe it deals with salvation.

 

[musterion]

Did you read the OP?

That's never stopped you from posting.

 

[meshak]

Yes, all you did was quote the parable. You gave no explanation as to why you believe it deals with salvation.

It was so clear and simple. It is self explanatory.

But I make it even more simple.

The Scribe asked Jesus how can we inherit eternal life.

Isnt salvation about inheriting the eternal life? I know it is.

And what did He say? be like merciful Samaritan.

now do you get it?

I guess you don't think salvation is about inheriting eternal life.

Thank you. Now what you are trying to say makes sense.

 

[meshak]

Jesus says:

For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life.

Salvation is about inheriting eternal life.

i agree with the essentials of salvation according to the passage in the OP. my understanding may be different them some. the actions of your life define who you are and determine how you pass to the next world.

Mat 25 42-43
42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

living a life like this is living through Jesus. through that example is the way to the Father.

Jesus said that if we do those things, we will spend eternity with Him and if we don't, we'll spend it with Satan and his angels.

I'm inclined to listen to Him.

in todays Christianity the Samaritan in Luke 10 might have issues making it to the next world such as:
what does he believe?
whats his denomination?
what does he believe on the nature of Christ?
what church doctrines does he accept?
how did he get baptized?
and the fruits of his life . . .not important.

Very little of the above means anything to salvation except the last. Theology won't save you. Following what Jesus told us to do, that will save.

Have you EVER read the entire Bible? As I recall, you only trust in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and disregard the rest of the Bible, correct? You've said in the past, you're not to keen on Paul's writings. Without accepting "Paul's Gospel" you will not enter eternal life, but, will be judged by your works and cast into "The Lake of Fire" for eternity.

You really wish that would be true, don't you?

The fundamental principle here is love and the practice of loving. Since love is the nature, motive and creative intelligence behind life and its eternal progression and the unfolding of its divine potential and infinite possibilities, only by love and by loving can you inherit all that eternity and infinity has.
