Re: Artificial life likely in 3 to 10 years
Sin is rebellion towards a Holy God and the punishment is death.
"Given there has not yet been a person who has not died, I guess that means everyone rebels."
You have that part right. This means that everyone is lost and unless you realize that you're lost and need a saviour, you can't be saved."
Heb 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
The Bible is very clear in telling us serving God or our works cannot save us.
Eph 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of WORKS,lest any man should boast."
If you pay for a gift, it is no longer a gift. If our works could save, what would Jesus Christ have to suffer and die on the cross for as He was the only one without sin and did not have to die. When you reject Him, then you are slapping God in the face for making a way for you to be reconciled back to Him.
Christianity is not a religion, but it is God reaching man through a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
All those other religions you posted are man trying to reach a god that cannot save you when you die with useless works. They are all feeble and worthless and you are gambling your eternal soul if you put your faith in those dead religions trying to serve a dead god. I will repeat it again, there is only one name under heaven that you can be saved, and it is the man Christ Jesus for He has declared, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man can come to the Father but by me."
Don't just take my word for this, but read it for yourself because I didn't say it, the Holy Bible did, and that is God's Inspired Word to us!!!!
