I have to wonder how inspired Romans 13: 1 through 7 is. That would tell us that human government is doing God's good work and we are bound to obey because after all '' he beareth not the sword in vain''. Would our government be doing the good work of God? Hitler? Pol Pot? Kim Jong?
Do you believe the books of John (gospel/epistle) were inspired by God the Holy Spirit?
Here's a clear promise to one specific group of believers.
They didn't believe in keeping the law to receive eternal life.
They didn't believe in keeping the sacraments ........
They did not even have to try with all their willpower to quit sinning to.........
What was the requirement?
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. "
I John5:11-13
That sounds familiar doesn't it?
Who else said that same thing?
