Jesus was the literal manifestation of the Son on Earth, and He came here to establish the new testament. Of course He is going to perform amazing miracles. Miracles of this kind still happen from time to time, like Medjugorje, but they're definitely more rare.
so why has god not sent down someone else to cleanse us, once again, of our sins, if he could do it back then
is that of me to ask? ask Him
John 20:29
well if Jesus has cleansed ALL our sins, why do you still put so much effort into converting people? God loves *all* of us, regardless of our faith, so why do I have to 'accept him as my savior and ask forgiveness' ? Shouldn't I be cleansed of my sins nonetheless?
a hardened heart runs in the face of truth. have you read the Gospel?
you're now arguing something that i don't think you have an understanding of
i could explain it to you but i think @Eoppa would do a better job so i'll kindly ask him to
well he can
since you understand better
What am I explaining?
Miracles?
We have miracles now as well
not that
why we still need to repent and do good works to be saved
if jesus died for our sins
accepting Jesus as your savior and ask forgiveness i think
huh
You can seperate yourself from God, God shall never cast you out
It is your decision
well, if I seperate myself from him, why doesn't he try to get me back? After all ,he loves all of us, why owuldn't he want me to believe in him and repent? And, if he loves us all, why doesn't he wipe away our sins without us believing in him?
when you repent you wipe all of your sins up until the point of repention
but why not just by existing? after all, God loves us all.
here's an analogy
actually, scrap the analogy
because sinning isn't just a label that get puts on you and can be removed just like that. sins are objective acts that we can and do perform. jesus' sacrifice doesn't make these actions not bad, it just means that we can be forgiven for them
but why aren't we automaticyl forgiven, if god loves all of us?
because you're rejecting God's proposal to forgive you
you're using your own free will which He has given to you to stray away from HIm
so why has he not made any attempt to get me back to him, if he loves me?
he makes attempts all the time
even this is an attempt
well, besides you, noone else has made any real attempts to convert me. And ,god should know how to make good attempts, right? he's all-knowing, after all.
i think he's making good attempts
open up the new testament
and read it
just my reccomendation
