Where there is no humility...
    #5704201 - 06/02/06 01:42 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

there is no salvation.

Quote:

"Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy." (Philippians 2:1-17 NLT)

Ya know, it all sounds so nice and innocent and good. But when you look at the fine print, this is what you see.

obeying God with deep reverence and fear.

So, I gotta say, I'm not buying any today.

I can follow all the good things in there with out selling my soul to God.

Ah, my book is King James.

Mine reads:
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

I cited NLT because I figured the difference would be minimal and it's usually easier for the general public to read.

I interpreted the King James version differently, viewing "fear and trembling" as just another state of humility.

Yeah a little better. Funny how it's all up to the interpretation, what meaning comes through. You would think that God would standardize his "inspired" word.

God does, depending on your religion of choice.

The Quran is pretty damn standardized. As is the Torah.

Christianity is more of a spiritual hunt, I find it...fun  :cool:
