Saving faith is a repentant faith. It is the gift of God. See Acts 11:18, 2 Tim. 2:25, 2 Cor. 7:10, Eph. 2:8. At salvation, all Christians in principle confessed Jesus Christ as Lord (Master, He rules, self-rule out, the will of God in). cf. Rom. 10:9, Acts 16;39-31, Mark 8:34-38. Jesus is truly God and truly man, cf. John 1:1-2, 14. All things were created through him verse 3, so that means he created everything in the world, including us, and we owe him our allegiance and absolute submission to him as Lord. Jesus is the only Savior. cf. Acts 4:12, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, 2 Cor. 5:17-21. You spoke about a relationship with God and that implies a saving relationship--provided they are. Where you began going with this was trying to imply many to most of those who committed suicide or seriously would consider it were already saved by God before the foundation of the world before their decision and nothing would undo that. Well, I will tell you right now that while I affirm the doctrine of eternal security, also known as the perseverance of the Saints-that those whom God is saved, He keeps forever- it is very unlikely more than a very very small percentage were truly saved to begin with. You alluded to Jeremiah 1:5 “I knew you before you were in your mother’s womb. Well, that’s speaking of Jeremiah. One of God’s Elect and I applied in that sense to those God actually saves. cf. Eph. 1:4. You spoke about Jesus saying come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give your rest. cf. Matthew 11:27-29. That was his call to unbelievers who had been weary under the leadership of the Pharisees, the false forum of Judaism in their day which was corrupt, heretical & apostate. They had created a self-righteous worksbased religion of human achievement, calling the people to participate in various sacraments and works etc to help merit or earn salvation. That was a damning lie and Jesus was calling on the people jettison, to escape that bondage and come to him for salvation which is by grace through faith in him and his Gospel apart from works. Salvation comes by grace thru repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. That was what Paul affirmed he testified of in Acts 20:21. Peter also taught salvation is through faith and repentance toward God. cf. Acts 3:18-19. You talked about God and his love for his children. Well, of course, provided they are truly saved. If so then yes are His beloved children. We must love people enough to call on any who would seriously consider suicide to examine themself whether they be in the faith. Paul commanded the church at Corinth to exam themselves. We try to find out if such people considering suicide have really or not understood the saving truth, the true Gospel and commitment called for by God for any who would come after him for salvation, which is forgiveness for the actual penalty for sin. My first comment have included the gospel track testifying of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I exhort everyone to read that track and check the scriptures to see that these things are true. Part 4:05 of your comment you spoke about usl relationship and of course that’s for true believers. You spoke of Jesus telling people all who were weird and burden to come to him in that passage was speaking to unbelievers you talked about or implied Jeremiah chapter 1 verse five concerning Jeremiah and how God knew him before he was in his mother‘s womb yes of course God knows his Elect and all those who are saved. My comment to call on such people to examine themselves whether they be in the faith is biblical. cf. 2 Cor. 13:5. I love them enough to try to help them affirm no one is saved apart from the truth and apart from acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and committing to him in principle and submissive, obedient and loyal following. cf. Mark 8:34-38, Romans 10:9, Acts 16:30-31. The passage of Jesus calling on people weary and burdened to come to him was to unbelievers. God’s word talking about I knew you before you were in your mother’s womb was concerning Jeremiah, chapter 1:5. He was an elect believer. I hold to the doctrine of eternal security, also known as the perseverance of the Saints: Those God saved He keeps forever.
3:08 "Stop. Don't just stand there like fatted cattle!" I've been screaming these words into You Tube for 10 years but to no effect. Fatted cattle in school, in the workplace, in shopping malls, in post offices - everywhere! The World Reset is happening in full force and we are walking into World War Three.
A brilliant analysis by Dr. Simeon Zahl regarding our contemporary allergic response to the doctrine of sin, how we hide behind medical renaming of this truth hiding indeed in plain sight.
This movie is becoming a terrible reality in our time. H.G. Wells saw this morbide evolution hundreds of years from his time in the 19the Century. But reality is already here in 2024. We had became Elois. Drones and no thinking humans. The Morlocks are sitting in Davos. Bilderberg and NWO.
George it’s not me, it’s you and that hot fudge sundae. CBS got the play by play… time to go to the videotape…..the scoop, the fudge and the big miss on the left side now the right.
That's the way it goes. In reality. First we will have an Orwell newspeech World , then "owe nothing and be happy". Corona was only a test. I see already Eloi around me...
The protagonist travels to a VERY remote future, it is practically impossible to link political or historical events to such a year of 802701. We do not even know historical or political events from more than three thousand years ago. Precisely in the original film, such events do not appear when the time traveler arrives at that time, and that gives realism to the story, and it achieves this at the moment when the time traveler meets the Morlock sphinx. The remake, on the contrary, ridiculously links the virtual librarian scene between such disparate times.
My sister and I were stalked on the highway and nearly abducted by a serial killer driving a yellow Volkswagen , I can’t remember where in Florida but it was hot , I was 9 and my little brother was 7 we ran and had to climb over a dead cow that was in a dry creek bed it stunk real bad. The serial killer stopped his car and yelled out to me and my brother, he said your mommy is sick in hospital we ran and had to hide in a corn field! Bill Joe ran out of the corn field, as he wanted to go with man t9 see our mom but I threw a rock at my brother’s head to stop him going to the serial killer. I didn’t mean to kill my little brother! I5 was an accident. I hid in the corn field until the serial killer left. I put my brother’s body under the dead cow. I told my parents he ran away an$ they believed me!😮
