gosh thats a good question after reading it i had to give it some thought my initial answer was i would never give away my salvation and i would have to stick with that because it would have to be of the devil for someone to ask

Jesus lived a perfect life, as the Son of God being the only one who could do the job. He was crucified as a criminal and was buried in a rich man's tomb, only Christ's death could atone for our sins. It was Christ's RESURRECTION that sealed the deal and showed the world that God approved the sacrifice. Jesus is not dead but sitting at the right hand of God the Father. So, would a Christian give away their salvation for another? No, that s not biblical and its not POSSIBLE. If it were possible it would be an entirely different message and religion. However, Christians cannot do the saving of anyone but hold onto Christ in faith for their own salvation, should live lives that testify to His power in their lives by being victorious over sin (though we can't eradicate the sin nature until we are in heaven) and by walking in love and obeying Jesus commands. A christian should be willing to die for Christ, and if somehow a christian is martyred and that leads to people gaining faith and getting saved, good. But it is God's work and not our own.

Salvation is a choice.....one, each person makes individually for themselves. Nobody can make you. The choice is accept Jesus as your savior, accepting eternal life in heaven, the other option is hell..trust me no in between. Soooo while i don't want to see anyone go to hell that is not my choice, remember a individual choice. God wants the best for us all that's why he sent Jesus to cover our sins, give us a option. God will let you go to hell because we have that "choice' If a person chooses not to receive salvation and ends up in hell tormented eternally by demons, then the company they will be in is the company of those that chose to slander, ignore, blasphemy the word of God and Christians. No i dont ignore the questions of those who are seeking to know the truth, I will show you the way to salvation..once a person accepts salvation nobody gets to take it away, not even satan or his freaks in hell. Ill keep doing what the Lord asks, in bringing in the lost into salvation, but when that trumphet sounds all that have, will be gone. Who is left ...wont be much of a argument then!!!!

Paul said that he would give up his salvation for his Hebrew brethren to know Christ if it were possible...It isn't.
From Romans 9 (NIV)
I speak the truth in Christ–I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit– I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel.....
I am sure that others have experienced this level of love and spiritual care although my observation is that it is rare. Many would die for someone but how many would be willing to be cut off from Christ?
The higher call of our Lord is a long way off...those of you who have any inkling that you are even close, please accept the grace of our Lord and press on.

Jesus was for those connected to the covenant with Isaac.
The covenant through Ishmael does not need his blood for atonement.

Joh 18:37 Pilate as a result stated unto him, artwork thou a king then? Jesus replied, Thou sayest that i'm a king. To this end grew to become into I born, and for this reason got here I into the international, that I ought to bear witness unto the reality. one and all which is of the reality heareth my voice. Jesus says for this reason got here I into the international--it is to be a king. Adam grew to become right into a king--the international grew to become into difficulty to him and he lost it with the aid of disobedience. Jesus being the 2d Adam claimed the identify of King and the international would be difficulty unto him. This scripture isn't fulfilled yet, because of the fact the identify of 2d Adam (Adam being no longer basically king, yet father of the race) would be fulfilled interior the dominion which all Christians pray for. while mankind is restored to solidarity with God below the righteous rule of Jesus and his Bride as kings and monks, Jesus could be the father (Father skill life giver) to the human race--the ransom sacrifice that he paid could have achieved its venture). that is interior the dominion additionally that this scripture would be fulfilled: Isa 9:6 For unto us a toddler is born, unto us a son is given: and the government would be upon his shoulder: and his call would be stated as marvelous, Counsellor, The powerful God, The eternal Father, The Prince of Peace. A King needs a Kingdom, that Kingdom has different names interior the Scriptures: Millennium, Day of Judgment. Psalm 2 describes the term while this Kingdom is set up. Verse 8 is speaking appropriate to the dominion. Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and that i shall supply thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost aspects of the earth for thy possession. you're making a remark that "no non-Christians reads scripture"--that may not be authentic. Atheists or maybe Jews are very versed interior the Christian Bible. purely because of the fact they're versed nonetheless, does no longer mean they actually are conscious of it because it grew to become into meant to be understood with the aid of the holy Spirit.
