The Cross of Christ Alone Can Save

[NotforSale]

You know folks, we can argue all day long on who's saved and who isn't, but the bottom line is, none of us really know, period!

I haven't been there and neither has anyone on this Forum. The "Other Side" will remain a mystery until the old Ticker stops ticking.

People will fight and bicker over this until the end of time. We can say the Bible is clear, but that is an out and out LIE! If the Bible was clear, we wouldn't be succumbed to this eternal debate.

The Good Book can say what we want it to say, and that is why there are thousands of denominations who claim they are SAVED. Why don't we just admit we DON'T KNOW, because that is the real Truth??

Someone will probably counter my post with a million Scriptures to prove they know, but it still comes down to this; YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, and, someone else will disagree with you! The unknown realms of life (current and after death) can only be validated by experiencing them. We are doing this World an injustice by building dogmas based upon a group’s interpretation of what's going to happen, even though we really aren't sure.

We've seen in History where claims were made about the unseen, solid factual claims, until the door was truly opened. When the Earth was seen from outer space, many past beliefs were put to rest forever, including beliefs by those who had FAITH. The unseen will always be used to manipulate people by those who can't see what they are talking about. If you can't question something, you can't validate it, leaving all the room in the universe to paint a FALSE picture.

There are so many holes in this topic, leaving me to want more proof about life, not more of the same of "I know" but can't confirm. Think about it; If we can't confirm something, the door is WIDE open to say whatever we want, believe what we want, tell people what God is like, isn't like, and how He will treat us when we die.

Why would God place us here with a body and mind that validates by what it sees and experiences, then turn around and produce a World we can't see or prove with the senses we are born with? This doesn't appear to be logical, or fair in our attempt to conceive what is really important, especially concerning Eternity.

We are supposed to prepare for this afterlife where time is no more, but we can't even prove its real, using a Book that has nothing but one missing link after another. Like I've stated in previous threads, Hell (Eternal Damnation) didn't even appear in the teachings of the Bible until recently (1000-1500 years ago). This unseen place is used to strike fear into people, but we can't even validate its existence, and don't know why it can't be found in the Old Testament. We just assume it’s real, ignoring that for some strange reason, Hell mysteriously appears in God’s Word just a few centuries ago.

To be honest, people are growing tired of the guess work. They want real answers. They want something that will keep their family together, not destroy it. I’ve seen so much divorce in the Church, it’s beyond sad. We tell people, “Come, God will mend your Family. God will heal your diseases. God will save your children”. After these things don’t happen, the most important thing regarding Faith, is LOST; TRUST. They only way to restore Trust, is to stop giving people false hopes, and give them answers that can be proven to be true.

Something to think about.
