AND HOW ARE WE SAVED ?

[Hoping2]

And Eph 1: we were CHOSEN , Chosen BEFORE the foundation

which means you better BELIEVE IT , in the SINGULAR , meaning that Christ did only chose us just

one TIME , except for those in Rom 9:11 >

Corrie Tan Boon does not go into that but Steven Spielberg does in his movie. "Schindler's List" does depict the sexual abuse and exploitation of women in the concentration camps. The film portrays the brutal and dehumanizing conditions that prisoners, especially women, faced during the Holocaust. It's a powerful and harrowing depiction of the atrocities committed during that time.

The Bible is clear that we have to forgive others if we want to be forgiven. Matthew 6:14-15: “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

It was difficult for Corrie but she was able to forgive with God's help. She does mention sexual exploitations where they were forced to take their clothing off for the guards.

Exploitation is not the same as adultery.
You didn't answer my question.

I do not understand your question. It does not seem to relate to the subject.

Do you feel that someone so forgiving would continue to commit sin ?

The Bible emphasizes the importance of repentance for forgiveness. Luke 13:3 states, "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." It's a central theme in many religious teachings, highlighting the need for a genuine change of heart and turning away from sin.

Good morning D'
I couldn't agree with you more.

So, If Corey T. could have forgiven such wickedness, don't you think the rest of her live would have been lived without sinning ?

According to John Wesley, Yes we can live free from sin. Corrie describes him as a particularly cruel and heartless figure among the many guards at the Ravensbrück concentration camp. So if she could forgive him, then I would think it would not be a problem for her to forever anyone else.

Good.
Those that can forgive are much more likely to obey God in all things.

I don't know how you ended up thinking that.
Without the gift of repentance from sin, we would all still be sinners.
Without baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins, we would all still be carrying the weight of a lifetime of wickedness.
And our old man would not be destroyed or a new creature raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.

I have never seen where we have to repent to be saved ?

Just asking for a verse , please ?

Peter's first pubic sermon included..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)
Jesus said..."I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3)
Peter also said..."Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)
The elders at Jerusalem said..."When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life."

Sure! Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." This highlights the importance of repentance in the process of salvation.
