So is 1 John 5: 11-13. MIcah 6:8 is powerful. Love God, Love your neighbor, get your sins removed because of Jesus. Live forever.

JD sounds a little confused, like a baby Christian, who called on the Lord, believes on Jesus, but does not know how to share his faith with someone else. That was my experience when I asked the Lord to save me, and it was not until four years later on a mission trip I realized what that meant. I hope someday JD can testify, Jesus is my Lord and Savior. We are sinners (Rom 3:23, Rom 3:10), and we would die a physical death (Rom 6:23), and be condemned to hell (Rev 20:14-15) . But the Lord paid the price for our sins (Rom 5:8), and by our belief, we are offered the free gift of eternal life (Act 16:30-31, Rom 6:23, Eph 2:8-9), we are born again (John 3, John 3:16), and we cannot lose that gift of eternal life (John 5:24, John 10:27-28). Or just the short answer, Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

Jesus uses examples we all can understand, the wind and Moses' serpent in the wilderness! (Read Numbers 21)! We all can see the effects of the wind, but not the wind! Moses lifting up the brass snake, was a result of the Israelis murmuring and complaining to God about only having manna(what is it?), the perfect nutritious food for humans from heaven!(Jesus would later identify himself as the true bread which came down from heaven-John 6)! As a result, God sent venomous vipers to bite the people. Many died! So Moses intercedes for the people, and God tells Moses to fashion a brasen serpent and affix it to a pole, and any one who would simply look to the snake on a pole would not die! Jesus was lifted up on a cross, and he took our sin so we would not die eternal death(in the lake of fire- Rev 20:11-15), by faith in what he did for us! This is being born again!

The true Church founded by Christ on Peter

[@themattaos1120]

@ The Roman Catholic church, headquartered in Rome, Italy, has its own powerful City-State, the Vatican. The Roman Catholic church unofficially came into being in 312 A.D., at the time of the so-called "miraculous conversion" to Christianity of the Roman Emperor Constantine but he still worshipped the sun god. Although Christianity was not made the official religion of the Roman Empire until the edicts of Theodosius I in 380 and 381 A.D., Constantine, from 312 A.D. until his death in 337, was engaged in the process of simultaneously building pagan temples and Christian churches, and was slowly turning over the reins of his pagan priesthood to the Bishop of Rome. However, the family of Constantine did not give up the last vestige of his priesthood until after the disintegration of the Roman Empire - that being the title the emperors bore as heads of the pagan priesthood - Pontifex Maximus - a title which the popes would inherit. The popes also inherited Constantine's titles as the self-appointed civil head of the church - Summus Pontifex (Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Bishops). Prior to the time of Constantine's "conversion," Christians were persecuted not so much for their profession of faith in Christ, but because they would not include pagan deities in their faith as well. Then, with Constantine's emphasis on making his new-found Christianity palatable to the heathen in the Empire, the "Christianization" of these pagan deities was facilitated. For example, pagan rituals and idols gradually took on Christian meanings and names and were incorporated into "Christian" worship (e.g., "saints" replaced the cult of pagan gods in both worship and as patrons of cities; mother/son statues were renamed Mary and Jesus; etc.), and pagan holidays were reclassified as Christian holy days (e.g., the Roman Lupercalia and the feast of purification of Isis became the Feast of the Nativity; the Saturnalia celebrations were replaced by Christmas celebrations; an ancient festival of the dead was replaced by All Souls Day, rededicated to Christian heroes [now Halloween etc.). A transition had occurred - instead of being persecuted for failure to worship pagan deities, Christians who did not agree with the particular orthodoxy backed by the Emperor were now persecuted in the name of Christ! "Christianized" Rome had become the legitimate successor of pagan Rome! This is the sad origin of the Roman Catholic Church as it compromised from the very beginning with paganism and in doing so became a cult serving the creature (Mary) more than the creator (Jesus).
