So, with that being said, how can Jesus make this statement in light of your belief?
Isn't the verse talking about taking action in willingly following the directives of someone to enter the realm?
Again, CJ you are not allowing what you believe about scripture to interpret scripture? Or you just built a doctrine on the word "all?" |
I have no problem with the scripture you have responded with, at all. Calling Jesus Lord alone is not the entry to the kingdom. Rather faith in what Jesus did and know Him and the Father is eternal life, you do not enter into the life of the kingdom UNTIL you get it in your head, heart and spirit, that the work is FINISHED by Him. Just because someone is not at that point does not mean that that one WILL NOT get there and enter in.
John 17:3 NJKV
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
