Some Opposition To God’s Truth

Consider an April 15, 2024 comment about my Bible Crossfire radio program “Donahue should be taken off air. … he requires works PLUS Jesus in order to be saved. Like his water baptism rants. And his threats to people with Salvation loss are nothing less than sick and twisted. Like his rants about divorce. … I will let Family Talk know that there’s others much more valuable to listen to than Bible Crossfire.”

The Bible does teach one must obey God to be saved by the death of Christ:

Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he (Jesus) became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.

Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven

I Pet 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

II Thess 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

II Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The Bible does teach a sinner must be baptized to be saved:

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved …

Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized … for the remission of sins …

Acts 22:16 arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins

Gal 3:26-27 ye are all … children of God by faith in Christ …. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ

I Pet 3:21 baptism doth also now save us

The Bible does teach it is possible for a Christian to fall away and lose their salvation:

Gal 5:4 ye are fallen from grace

Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren (holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, v.1), lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God (John 3:36)

James 5:19-20 save a soul (brother) from death

II Pet 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, latter end is worse with them than the beginning

Rev 3:5 blot out his name out of the book of life

Ezek 18:24 the righteous who turn away from righteousness to iniquity, shall die spiritually

II Chron 15:2 if ye forsake him, he will forsake you

The Bible does teach adulterous marriage must be terminated (just like most believers think gay marriages must be terminated):

Matt 19:9 … whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Mark 6:17-18 For Herod himself had … laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

Rom 7:2-3 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Ezra 10:11 Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
