REWORK: If Jesus is God and Jesus is forgiving then God is forgiving, then why MUST I accept Jesus as Savior?

Question

Rework:

Most of the verses quoted can be interpreted as:
A reminder that Jesus is Judge.
AND
One must not judge Jesus.
BUT
not neccessarily that I must accept Jesus.

Correct?

Answer 1

You got it. It doesn't say it anywhere.

What it DOES say is that He is the bread of Life, that you must eat his flesh and drink his blood. Check out John Chapter 8. I'd read the whole thing a couple of times, and then see what you think after that.

Answer 2

The Scriptures clearly establish that Jesus’ role as Savior was assigned to him by his Father. The Christian apostle John wrote: “We ourselves have beheld and are bearing witness that the Father has sent forth his Son as Savior of the world.” (1 John 4:14)
As God’s means of salvation, Jesus Christ is called the Savior. Apart from him no one on earth can be saved from sin and death. When before the Jewish supreme court, the apostle Peter pointed this out, saying: “There is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”—Acts 4:12.

Answer 3

You are asking a good question, but it involves a little bit of explanation to give you the right info.

God did send His son on earth in human form to save us from sin. Jesus taught us to love one another and not to judge, as he instructed to those wanting to stone Mary Magdalene for prostitution ("If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." John 8:6-8 )

and in

John 5
22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

But, the most important confirmation of accepting Jesus as your savior could well be in John 3:16,
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This is the promise that God gives to proclaim His love for us and that His son Jesus is that savior.
Peace to you always

Answer 4

Absolutely.

Now look up the word ' elect ' and ' predestinate.'

If you're paying court to street corner religionists or any form of religion today, you will of necessity be basely misled. If your interest is ongoing and concurs with what you are reading, then continue in examining that source exclusively. See what you, personally, come up with.

The majority, if not the whole of these people, are absolute frauds.

That book, however, does not lie.

I suggest you trust only that, and that you use a King James Version. Too, either a Strongs' Exhaustive Concordance and a Youngs' Analytical Concordance is of vast help and instruction in many particulars as to word use as well as zeroing in on a chain of things in the course of sturdy. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father but through me.

God doesn't explain why Jesus is the only way- but only that He has provided Jesus as the way for us to know God.

We are not always in a spot to question God (off course we can always question Him- but to demand an answer). He shows us what He wants to about Himself- and what He has shown in is Word- the Bible- is that Jesus is the way to know God.

Hope that helps... i'm a little tired today so this may not sound as kind as i'd hope- but most certainly i'd be happy to answer any of your questions: [e-mail]

God Bless,

Answer 6

To get forgiveness only through Jesus' sacrificial death can you get the forgiveness freely offered. In order to be forgiven there had to be a sacrifice Blood shed in payment for the sin. Jesus was and is that sacrifice but it cannot be shoved down your throat you must accept it as being done for you or you will be punished for your own sin.

Answer 7

God is perfectly Holy the creater of all we know and dont know, we on the other hand are created by Him but have tainted our selves withe greed unlawfully anger lust hate envy ect...ect...ect....Therefor God just wants us to agree that we are indeed that way and accept His cleansing and forgiveness by the work of Christ Jesus . He wants us to come to Him knowing we can not clean our selves but understand that He can and all of that is done by believing in Christ.If you never come to that understanding of your need then he will treat you like He is going to treat satan in the end , God will give satan a place to stay a place where there is no attributes of God at all no love no hope no friendship none of the good stuff only the bad hate anger envy bitterness ect.. for ever and those who go there will have to endure that kind of mind for ever along with every one else who did not want the things of God in this live . so if you do not want to chance that kind of eternal existence with out God not choosing Him now when you have the chance is not a smart thing. That is if the bible is right if its not then eat drink and be marry for soon you my die

Answer 8

You have to follow Scriptures and the commands that are given . John 14:6 Says that no one comes to the Father but through Jesus . How do you not understand that ? Jesus came and died for us to save us from our sins and cleanses us by His blood . God put Him in charge of all things . Read the book of John

Answer 9

I just now joined in this fray, and didn't read your earlier question and its responses. But to address the issue at hand, God does not simply forgive sin that has not been punished, because he is merciful AND just. His chosen method of redemption is to come to Earth in human form (Jesus, who the bible says was with God and was God) and live sinlessly, taking the punishment for our sin on the cross. If you do not accept his payment, then you cannot receive God's forgiveness. You must come to God on His terms, not your own.

Answer 10

Because once you buy into the notion of being indebted to Jesus for his "sacrifice" (which doesn't really count, since he came back to life anyway), then the church gets to lay its guilt trip on you, and start browbeating you into dropping money into the collection plate, tithing part of your income, donating your time and effort free of charge, and so on.....

As someone much wiser than myself once said: if you want to know the REAL reason why people are doing the things they do, FOLLOW THE MONEY; and when they say it's not about the money, it's ALWAYS about the money....
