Who can be saved?

Question

now say i go out and butcher someone just because he was what i thought as a dork. then i cooked him and ate him. i continue doing this for years. basically the next hanibal lector. is all i have to do is accept christ and i'm saved. this is all hypothetical but i don't think thats possible.

so all this crap of accpeting christ and im saved is just that. theres more? like what.

Answer 1

Salvation is open for everyone. Look at Paul. He killed christians for years and he got saved. No sin is greater then another. If I curse someone it is still a sin and consider just as bad as murdering someone. God never keeps someone from being saved.

Answer 2

First of all what is a SIN?:

The Greek word hamartia (ἁμαρτία) is usually translated as sin in the New Testament; it means "to miss the mark" or "to miss the target" which was also used in Old English archery.

So a sin isn't only missing the "bullseye" but missing the whole TARGET all together!! God is so righteous and holy that he doesn't rate sins from bad to worse it's all the same, HOWEVER there are different CONSEQUENSES for different sins.

Matthew 5:22
...But whoever says 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

How many times have you yelled "idiot" at someone who cut you off the freeway?

We are all born into sin because of the choice Adam and Eve made such a long time ago. Who knows what the world would be like and what the original plan God had for mankind before they disobeyed him in the Garden of Eden.

The robber that hung on a cross next to Jesus knew that he deserved his punishment, he acknowledged that Jesus was God and didn't deserve His punishment and believed that Jesus could save his soul. That is why Jesus Christ told the robber "Assuredly, I say to you today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43

Any sin that is commited will be forgiven as long as the person who commited it confesses his sin and repents. God is just waiting for you to ask for forgiveness..."I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." John 10:9 "I am the resurection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 11:25-26 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:15-16

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. If you really felt you had done wrong and asked God to forgive you, no matter what you had ever done, God would forgive you. It is that simple. Just asking is not enough though. You must be honestly sorry for all the wrong you have done in your life and take it by faith that God is real and sent His only son to die for your sins. Then you ask Him to come in to your heart and forgive you. It will bring about a change in you spiritually that will change you and the way you think and act will be different from the way before. It really is true! Why don't you try it right now?

Answer 4

Anyone can be saved, no matter who they are or what they've done. There's no sin to big for God to forgive. You can be sure of that.
God bless

Answer 5

acctually it is possible. it's true. once you have accepted christ and are actually for real about it you will change in an instance. and you'll feel different.

Answer 6

you'd be right, but turning over a new leaf and being series about it would help, I have nothing against Jesus but just accepting a spiritual leader doesn't change things.

Answer 7

Well since you're saved by grace alone, I think there is a point at which God says, "No Salvation for you!"

Answer 8

god forgives all sins because he is a forgiving god
