Tigersnare,
It’s me again. Remember I told you that I had always held a fairly simplistic view towards Christianity/Christian doctrine. Well, even though I’ve discovered that there are many, many deep complicated teachings/doctrines, I still possess a simplistic view. I just can not believe that God would have made following Him that complicated. In fact, Scripture even tells us this. See these verses:
Jhn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Luk 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
1Cr 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith
Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear
Mat 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment
Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
ts, we both know that God does not lie. I believe Him and I trust Him. He tells me clearly through His written word that if I come to Him and believe in Him nothing is impossible. He tells me that if I believe and have faith I will not be confounded. I have seen with my own eyes the miracles that God has worked for faithful. Denominations don't count with God.
I guess what I'm saying is I trust the simplicity of my faith. The essentials are very basic . . . . If I have failed to answer your question sufficiently, please let me know and I will try to do better.
