That is where I got where God is so shall there be Liberty. If a group of people live on their Godly foundation and morals described in the Bible then there will be liberty which means freedom. I did not talk about disobeying God, Adam and Eve had free will and they chose to eat of the fruit. Freedom was not the cause of them eating of the fruit and disobeying God is not rightfully called Liberty.
I also did NOT mean that just asking to be saved was all you had to do. I have taught sunday school lessons on the work that must come after evenwhen salvation is obtained to enter into the kingdom of God.
For the body without spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
Sometimes I am rush with time as I was before. I cannot get all I want to say out. Next time I would appreciate some respect as I would give you and atleast come and ask me what I meant before assuming you know what I believe.
When I quote that verse I was wanting to point out that you do not have to do stuff like sacrifice animals anymore. Or confess our sins to a Priest. And obviously you have to WANT to give up a sinful life and live for Christ, you have to be sincere and really want to be saved and to not live that life again I just thought it would kinda be understood and I wouldnt have to type it out. |
You stated liberty and that was all you gave. The way you left it, it was as if people had liberty, period. TO worship as one chooses and God doen't leave us ignorant as He wishes to be worshipped.
Note...if you need more time to post, then wait until you can respond fully as you would like. When I post, I try to make sure I have sufficient time to get out my entire meaning so that nothing is misunderstood.
You really need to take that one verse and expound on it a little more with references...let us breakdown the entire scripture with looking at other scriptures that will let the Bible proove itself...
The Lord — Christ (2 Cor. 3:14, 2 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 4:5).
Is that Spirit — is THE Spirit, namely, that Spirit spoken of in 2Co_3:6,
Where the Spirit of the Lord is — in a man’s “heart” (2 Cor. 3:15; Rom. 8:9, Rom. 8:10).
there is liberty —(read John 8:36). “There,” and there only. Such cease to be slaves to the letter, which they were while the veil was on their heart. We are free to serve God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:3): they have no longer the spirit of bondage, but of free sonship (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:7). That is where liberty is...not just where a group gets together, but within a heart of a true believer and follower. The liberty is given to us so that we are free from bondage...and free to choose to follow or not.
Also, (in bold) you stated that all you had to do is call on the name of the Lord and quoted scripture as if that was all you needed to do and in more than one place here on this site. You never stated until NOW there was more.
