The Cross of Christ Alone Can Save

[shazeep]

your first love is all that should matter to you, imo. Defining others' first love is the same as saying you are God.

yes, and apparently doctrines are built upon sand, when strangers are not judged by their fruit, but condemned out-of-hand based upon words. This is plainly revealed when you cannot admit how you would react when informed that you are lost. among many other things.

Muslims cannot deny allah, their false god.
Your first love, as with all muslims, is the love for allah, whom the
Apostle Paul called ". . . the god of this world." Yet not the God that
CREATED this world, even the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:
but the god to those who reject the gospel that saves.

The first love IN CONTEXT is what is meant to be everyone's first love.



How many more verses can be taken out of context?

FIRST LOVE:

Matthew 6:33 KJV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Philippians 3:7-10 KJV But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, (9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: (10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;


But we can excuse an entire religious movement urging people to abandon Christianity and follow their ways, because they said follow Christ or perish. Meanwhile they deny the very event of the cross that is the core of salvation, making everything else moot if the cross is abandoned. Why can we excuse them? Because of the mean Catholics who persecuted them and made them disdain the cross.

The word gives no free ticket to those who deny truth because of evildoers claiming Christ.

2 Peter 2:2 KJV And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

No matter how the devil gets us to deny the cross, denial of the cross is antichrist and leaves one lost. There are no crosses for us to take up, to follow Christ with, if He never took His cross to begin with.

I am amaazed at the latest months-long flurry of antichrist false doctrine on this forum.

Wow.
