[QUOTE="Romansthruphilemon, post: 75128632, member: 395114"] Jesus said deny yourself in Matthew 16. In his earthly ministry Jesus was dealing with Israel, and in Matthew 10 Jesus told his disciples to not go to the Gentiles. In Matthew 15 Jesus wouldn’t even talk to the Gentile woman and said that he came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. So if he is dealing with Israel and won’t even talk to the Gentiles how can he have your doctrine just one chapter later? Deny yourself is not your doctrine to be saved. If it is then Paul is really confused. Because Paul says in Ephesians 2 that salvation is not of yourself. He says it is not of works. Deny yourself is pretty different than not of yourself or not of works. No way is it compatible, it has to be rightly divided not just blended together. It was doctrine for Israel. It would be good to deny yourself but it’s not a requirement for you to be saved. To be saved you have to believe that Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. This is a short video that shows that you should be trusting Christ not what you do in order to be saved: [MEDIA=youtube]wT_sEmzNonk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
