How do you know this stuff? Short of claiming a special sixth sense, how could you know this stuff? You give such specific theological answers in such with the confidence of authority, in the same manner as I could, say, explain color mixing, measuring, or any other factual information to a child. But how on earth are you so lucky as to have access to this special divine knowledge?

You can read the bible for yourself and find out if you agree with what I think it says. |

But the Bible also says that to be righteous in the eyes of God you've to "walk right with God" (I forget the exact wording, but that's the essence of what really was written). That is not to say just repent and believe, but also act as God demanded you to. And He demanded a lot of things, from Old Testament to New, that Jesus even confirmed are still valid laws.
So what's it? Is it belief in Jesus as the Savior and Son of God + repentance of your sins, or "walking righteously in the eyes of God", or all of it? |
