I will take the liberty to draw from some examples in life to help illustrate this thread..
I am sure most of you have at some point in your lives seen a movie or documentary about prisoners on death row.
"Dead Man walking!...Dead Man walking" the jailer shouts out as a prisoner is led to the electric chair, aka"'Ol Sparky".
And why did they say that? because the man was dead already.
Likewise, there are alot of people today who are unsaved and on their way to eternal death and separation from God.They are dead yet still live.
John 5:24-43 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Jesus is our Propitiation. (Romans 3:25. 1 John 2:2. 1 John 4:10) A sacrifice one time for all. (Hebrews 10:12) God manifested in the flesh ( 1 timothy 3:16, 1 John 4:2, Hosea 13:4, Mark 12:32, Isaiah 45:21, 2 John 1:7), who was begotten of the Father (John 1:18 John 3:16 John 1:14), was born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:34), to save the world (John 3:16), to reconcile us back to the Father (Colossians 1:20,Ephesians 2:16) because of Adam's sin which separated us..(Genesis 3:24 Isaiah 59:1-2)
Jesus being without sin but in the likeness of sinful flesh (Romans8:3) was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Mark 15:15) and hung on a tree -cursed is he who hangs on a tree. (cross) Galatians 3:13)
His shed blood is our atonement for the forgiveness of sins.( Romans 5:11, Matthew 26:28)
He died on the cross, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day. ( John 2:19, 2 Corinthians 5:15, Matt.17:23, Matt.16:21, Matt. 20:19, Mark 9:31, Acts 10:40)
He ascended up to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Acts 7:55-56, Romans 8:34,Ephesians 1:20, Colossians 3:1)
If we confess that Jesus is Lord and believe the Gospel that has been preached then we will be saved. (Romans 10:9, 1 John 4:15)
His perfect sacrifice was accepted by the Father to atone for the sins of the world.(Romans 1:4, Hebrews 9:11-12)
He is our High Priest. (Hebrews 4:14-15 Hebrews 6:20)
We are justified and righteous because of the righteousness that has been imputed to us by his Son when we believed on him and will not see the wrath of the Father but have eternal life with him. John 3:16, Romans 10:9 , 1 Corinthians 15 1-4.
See there you go again prophetic7744 posting your personal off topic slander in the middle of others conversations. It's like you are demon possessed and can't stop yourself. We all try to show you love, but you don't receive it and love back. Rather you are disrespectful, rude, obnoxious and now play the victim?
**THERE ARE FALSE TEACHERS LIKE ZECHARYAH AND SATAN THAT TEACH YOU ARE SAVED BY GOOD WORKS AND JESUS IS NOT GOD**??
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
**IS JESUS OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**??
John 20:27-29: Then He said to Thomas, "Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe!" Thomas said to him, "My Lord and **MY GOD**!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!"
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor and **MIGHTY GOD**!
Isaiah 7:14: The Lord Himself will give you a sign. The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and will call Him **IMMANUEL**! {Which means **GOD WITH US**!}
Matthew 1:20-23: The angel of the Lord said to Joseph, "Take Mary home as your wife because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She is to give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus which means **GOD IS HELP**, because He will save His people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet {Isaiah 7:14 above} "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call Him **IMMANUEL** which means **GOD WITH US**!
John 1:18: No one has ever seen God, but the One and only Son, who is **HIMSELF GOD** and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known!
John 14:6,7: Jesus says, "I am the **WAY** the **TRUTH** and the **LIFE**. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really knew Me, you will know the Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have **SEEN HIM**!"
**GOD'S WORD COMMANDS THAT WE SHOULD ONLY WORSHIP GOD**!!
Matthew 4:9,10: Satan said to Jesus, "All this I will give you if you bow down and worship me." Jesus said to him, Away from Me Satan! For it is written, '**WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD** and serve Him only!
Revelation 19:9,10: The angel said to me, "Write this: **BLESSED** are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the **LAMB**!" And he added, "These are the true words of God!" At this I fell at his feet to **WORSHIP** him, But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus! **WORSHIP GOD**! For it is the spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus!"
Revelation 22:8,9: I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, "**DON'T DO THAT** A am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who **KEEP THE WORDS** of this scroll. **WORSHIP GOD**!!
Hebrews 1:6,8: When God brings His firstborn into the world He says, "Let all God's angels **WORSHIP HIM**.... About the Son He says, "Your throne, **O GOD**, will last for ever and ever, a scepter of justice will be the scepter of **YOUR KINGDOM**!"
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "**ALL AUTHORITY**in heaven and on earth has been given to **ME**. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always!"
**JESUS CHRIST, OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**
Jesus is **WORSHIPED** many times in God's Word in Matthew 2:2,8,11; 14:33; 28:9,17 Luke 24:52 John 9:38 and Revelation 5:11-14 and !5:4!!

Matthew 28:16,17: Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When the saw Him, they **WORSHIPED HIM**!
There are some who completely ignore these Scriptures and claim that Jesus is not God because he said that the Father is greater than me in John 14:28 and that the Father told Him what to say as per John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. The words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me."
John 9:37,38: Jesus said, "You have now seen Him; in fact, He is the one speaking with you!" Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he **WORSHIPED HIM**!
NOTE: Jesus is called the **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation!
Revelation 5:13,14: Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, an all that is In them, saying "To Him who sits on the throne and to the **LAMB** be praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever!" The 4 living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and **WORSHIPED**!
Revelation 17:14; They will wage war against the **LAMB**, but the **LAMB** will overcome them because He is **LORD** of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be **HIS** **CALLED**, *CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers!!
Titus 2:13,14: We wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**--the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify a people that are **HIS VERY OWN**, eager to do what is good!!
Hey Richard Cranium, quit ruining KJVonly's thread!
Start a new one if you want to talk about this - never mind I'll start one for you and you can attack, harass and slander me there, but leave others alone.
We are saved by grace through faith. You either have it or you don't.
Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
I repented of my sins and believed the Gospel . I knew Jesus could wash me clean and he did. He was more real to me than ever in my whole life in that moment..
Start a new one if you want to talk about this - never mind I'll start one for you and you can attack, harass and slander me there, but leave others alone.
You think you can control Parrot any more than the weather? Unless you have HAARP in your backyard, but that is all fairy tales to me also .Isn't this a waste of space on the thread not to mention your time ? It is like you two are working in tandem.
