Hey Gnostic,

: That which I access comes from the FATHER through CHRIST, NOT FROM ME get it straight. :

I really would like to get it straight...

Which Christ are you referring to? Jesus Christ?

Do you believe that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ?

Do you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Do you believe that HE is the way, the truth and the life?

In your previous post you stated

:And knowing God's will is a part of knowing yourself. KNOW THYSELF OH MAN... :

Do you mean by this statement that we ALL have God (or Christ) within if only we'd look?

Do you believe in sin?

Do you believe that all men have sinned?

What do you believe is the atonement for sin?

I am not denying that Jesus Christ dwells WITHIN the hearts of believers, but you seem to imply that we don't need to believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in order to obtain salvation from sin.

Or have I misunderstood you?

I look forward to your answers to my questions...

Romans 3

"20": Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

"21": But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

"22": Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

"23": For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

"24": Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

"25": Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

"26": To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
