good works make the world a better place..they refine and purify the person doing the good work and bring that person closer to God- to the Bible pushers- think about why the world has people with diverse beliefs- some existing many many years prior to Jesus- and insisting on doing good in the world..so if someone does not believe in Jesus and does good all their life- this person is not going to heaven 'cause they dont believe in Jesus- but if someone does bad all their life and believes in Jesus-he is saved..whewww..so much for the life of people who do good deeds!!!

I have no doubt in your sincerity, just as I have no doubt in the sincerity of the Ptolemy who thought that the Sun goes 'round the Earth, or the madman who believes himself to be Napoleon. All these people are sincerely deluded. The sincerity of their delusions does not, however, reflect on the truth of their beliefs.

I have given in accordance to the measure of faith to My people and have helped them in their time of need. And I tell you that you will have your hours where you will be alone in your room praying to me for the situation that you are in to be resolved. For I have told you that even in the time of the ICU take down that I will hear your promise and I will grant it to you Miss Elizabeth of England.
For what is man that claims he can hijack into the banks and get your information until he himself is caught by the feds. I have told to you that this summer to watch the stock market and watch the economy, for what has been said about new territory has not even been completed at this time. In Virginia, but the Lord God says, He will not put up with the troubled youth and send them. For this will come out of the land, for their will be school children that will talk to their superiors about what they have been hearing from these teens. I tell you that when you are willing to listen and obey I will elevate you to a who new level of authority. For in Chile there will be a chill leading into the spine of the leaders and they will say America must help us in this crisis, for we don't have enough manpower on our own to do this alone.

Doing good deeds is the right thing to do but you cannot buy your way to salvation, God won it for the entire human race. God won the keys to hell and death and He will use them in His time. When satan tried to hijack Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews and said that Jesus is merely a prophet and at that a second-rate prophet instead of who Jesus really is and that is God incarnate,well satan is a liar just like God told us when the Second Person of the Trinity of God emptied Himself and became a human being and in doing that became the Brother of the entire Human Race. Like I have said before in different postings God does not look at your religious affiliation or lack thereof but is a searcher of hearts and minds. Knowing God's name isn't some kind of magic, a lot of people know His name and call themselves christians that doesn't mean that they are one. Jesus said a lot of things and one of them was to "Come follow Me". Jesus also said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life no one comes to the Father except thru Me. That means there are a lot of ways to Jesus. Something else our Brother told us and that is that "My Kingdom is not of this world". The "Good News" which is what the word Gospel means is what the angels said when Jesus was born, "This is Good News for all people". God does look at what you do and why you do it. Actually being a christian is carrying on the work that Jesus started but He said He would help us and also He sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all Truth, I think that was pretty nice of Him. I am the New Testament Moses and my job is to proclaim the "Good News", you can believe or not but God wins Total Victory, a tie is unacceptable, the captives will be released, "those in hell" and the dead shall rise, "those in spirital death". We are still in the sixth day of creation, how long it will continue to last I do not know, but night will come like our Brother Jesus said, "Be Ready". The seventh day shall also come and with it the coming of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Love whichever you wish to call it because God is Pure Love. Sincerely, Thomas Paul Moses Baum.

It is an interesting perspective that we who are saved are only interested in our own personal salvation. Yes, we have our salvation and we are also deeply concerned about your salvation. The only explanation for this is that the Christ within us grieves for you, like He did for Jerusalem. Why else would we care about you and all others who don't have salvation in Jesus Christ? Why else would we spend so much time and effort, offer endless prayers, and suffer persecution to try to look after you, our brother? We spend, dare I say it, a lot more time worrying about you than we do on ourselves. And what do we get in return? Nothing. So for the last time (just kidding) please consider the free, gracious gift of salvation offered by God through his son Jesus Christ. And may God Bless you with many good works.

Ecclesiastes 8:17
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Well so-called Jew.
You were told long ago what being saved means.
Believing in Jesus Christ means being saved.
And that means you will be allowed to enter the FUTURE KINGDOM OF GOD, ONCE THIS UNIVERSE IS GONE.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH.
BEWARE OF THE PREACHINGS AND ARTICLES OF THE SO-CALLED JEW, THEY HATE JESUS CHRIST.

"Being Saved" Means Nothing
Take it from America's greatest literary critic,
it is a sloshy metaphor that can mean whatever a believerr wants it to mean.
It basically means, I feel like I am back in my mother's womb in a state before language, before lost innocence.
And since you as a Jew and I as a Buddhist know that heaven is a myth based on wish-fulfillment, being saved can NOT mean being with God in the afterlife.

I love this. I don't think anyone knows what "being saved" means. People who want to be "saved" are really just expressing a fear of death. They fear death and they will do anything (even what is clearly immoral) to ensure their own comfort when they die.
