A CHRISTIAN VIEW

CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING....?

Acts 22:16 Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His Name.

What if Jesus had said; "Saul, your baptism in water was just an act of obedience, it had nothing to do with washing away your sins.

CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


John 8:24 'Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."


What if Jesus had said; "You do not have to worry about believing the I am the Son of God, because I will impute to those,  I have preselected for salvation, the faith to believe and be saved. Have you not heard of the doctrine, saved by grace alone? Those who will die in their sins are those who have been selected for hell."


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


Acts 9:11 And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,


What if Jesus had told Ananias, "Go lay hands your on Saul so he may receive his sight, however, you do not have to baptize him and have him call on My name; because he believed in me on the road to Damascus and has said the sinner's prayer, so he already has his sins forgiven."


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


What if Jesus had said; "Ananias, you should baptize Saul so he can join the 1st Ananias Church of Damascus?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


What if Jesus had said to Saul; "If you die on the way to your baptism it is not important because I know what is in your heart?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


What if Jesus had said to Saul; "Water baptism is just symbolic,  it has nothing to do with actual forgiveness and besides remember I forgave the paralytic and he had not been baptized, he was forgiven because of his friend's faith. You did not even have to believe to be saved, you could have been saved like the paralytic?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


What if Jesus had said; "Saul, when the apostle Peter said to be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins, he really meant to say you are baptized because your sins have already been forgiven?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


Hebrews 9:22.....with the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.


What if Jesus had said; "I shed My blood on the cross as an act of obedience to the Father, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the forgiveness of men's sins?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THAT?


Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.


What if Jesus had said; "The conjunction"and" does not mean "and" in the original Greek; therefore belief and baptism are not linked together as a condition for salvation?"


What if Jesus had said; "Has been baptized shall be saved, means you were saved when you believed and then were baptized as an example of your faith to the community?"


What if Jesus had said; "Mark 16:16 Is missing from some manuscript copies of Scripture, so you cannot believe what I said here?"


What if Jesus had said; " I did not mention, in Mark 16:16, that you would be condemned if you rejected water baptism; therefore you can be saved without being baptized?"


CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THESE THINGS?


MEN NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHAT THEY IMAGINE JESUS SAID!


Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
