Taking up our cross. "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42b) Perhaps better said, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Phil. 1:21) If our life is lived for the Lord Jesus Christ to the glory of God, then not only is our cross lite, but the yoke of Christ as well.

It is immoral to force someone into the type of existence that they might not like or possibly even hate to exist in. But it is extremely immoral to force someone into the type of existence where they will be forced to be in horrible jeopardy of possibly going to hell. And so for all the theists that believe in hell it is extremely immoral for them to have children because they are forcing the children into the type of existence where they believe that they will be forced to be in horrible jeopardy of possibly going to hell.

I agree with most of what you said except for the baptism topic. Romans 10:9 is pretty straightforward. Water baptism was introduced during the OT portion of the 4 Gospel and was meant as an expression of one’s faith in the promise of the coming Messiah. Jesus was also baptized to fulfill all righteousness(since water baptism is testimonial to one’s faith). Matthew 3:11: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. The fire, as well as the Holy Spirit are representative of cleansing and purification(Isaiah 4:4). John is saying that the Messiah will give his Holy Spirit to those trust in the message of our Savior, Jesus Christ our LORD. Anyway, hope this helps or makes sense. I don’t think Jesus literally meant you can’t be saved if you aren’t water baptized because if that was the case many of the believers in the NT wouldn’t actually be saved if you were just reading at face value. It would also negate the salvation of the thief on the cross who put his faith in Jesus Christ during the crucifixion.

Quick question: what did you mean that we can dove headfirst out of his hands? If God is all knowing and all powerful can He not prevent that? Additionally, if He foreknows us and predestines us for mercy even though ALL are sinners (Romans 3:23, 5:8, Romans 9 and Ephesians 1:4,13-14) then we are saved by faith. How can we be sealed by the Holy Spirit if we can mess up our salvation the same way we mess everything else up? Otherwise I like a lot of your other Bible studies. I’d like that question of assurance of salvation addressed however, since if it’s up to you to cling to God then you’ll falter: we can’t perfect ourselves in the flesh (Galatians makes that clear), so we can only walk rightly while walking in the spirit. Whose spirit! God’s spirit; so the only thing to uphold is in salvation and do the saving of our souls is God who works to create faith in us. A small handful of Bible verses relevant to that point of Salvation being God’s will and God’s working besides what I already mentioned (again, just a few!): John 1:12-13, John 6:28-29, Ephesians 2:8-10, a couple of my favourites: Psalm 121 (he doesn’t allow our foot to slip), Jude 1:24, Hebrews 13:20-21. Overall, Jesus being shepherd of our souls, as I understand it, means he’s faithful to his unfaithful and straying people. Hosea married Gomar, right? Israel strayed constantly, right? Gentiles weren’t the chosen people but God chose to graft in those who believe, yes? But as Romans 11 makes clear, faith qualifies you, unbelief disqualifies you, and faith is given in different measure Romans 12:3, right? And yet the smallest seed of faith in the infinite God works everything including what was impossible! But even large faith in an idol is nothing! So it’s all about who we have faith in, but the faith itself like every other ability we may possess is a gift of God, just the same as Nebuchadnezzar might have taken his mental faculties for granted and elevated himself in pride, just the same as those who are granted eyes to see and ears to hear may grow proud of the insights God granted them whereas they would not recognize the truths of God and would be blind if not for God restoring their sight in the first place! The perseverance of the saints, then is the gift of God upholding his saints in the faith. Without His upholding them they would all fall away just the same as sheep stray when given the opportunity. That’s my understanding of the issue and I’d like to know if you already have a Bible study on this or if you plan to make one? I wish you well in the endeavour. Thank you for reading this comment. I hope it inspires another lovely bible study.

The point Jesus is making is of the more serious degree of defiling, that sin causes, compared to eating unclean food. He had been laying into the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in straining at a gnat while inhaling a camel again. They were getting all bent out of shape over Jesus' disciples not washing their hands before they ate. It should also be noted that in the entire context of this debate between Jesus and the Pharisees, the subject matter at hand was food of any kind, not just meat, being defiled by unwashed hands. Nowhere in this context is there the mention of unclean animal meat like pig flesh! Please read the entire story from Mark 7:1-23. I would like to quote a translation that is as close to word for word as can be rendered. It is the King James II Version, and it comes from the side column of my Greek Interlinear Bible where every word can be verified. And he said to them, "Are you also so undiscerning? Do you not perceive that everything that enters from the outside into the man is not able to defile him? This is because it does not enter into his heart but into the belly, and goes out into the waste-bowl, purging all the foods." Mark 7:18-20. And here is the same passage from the old KJV and the NKJV. Notice how much closer they are to the above translation. And he saith unto them, "Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?" Mark 7:18-20 KJV. So he said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" Mark 7:18-20 NKJV. The first thing that everyone should notice is that in these translations, Mark makes no commentary, and the words, "purging all the foods" are part of Jesus' ongoing sentence. Notice also that there are no more than four words in what has been translated by others as Mark's significantly longer commentary! These four words, "purging all the foods" are the literal word for word translation of the four Greek words used. It is astounding to think that Christian translators have managed to turn these four simple words into Mark's commentary that Jesus had made some kind of declaration. The point Jesus is making is of the more serious degree of defiling, that sin causes, compared to eating unclean food. He had been laying into the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in straining at a gnat while inhaling a camel again. They were getting all bent out of shape over Jesus' disciples not washing their hands before they ate. It should also be noted that in the entire context of this debate between Jesus and the Pharisees, the subject matter at hand was food of any kind, not just meat, being defiled by unwashed hands. Nowhere in this context is there the mention of unclean animal meat like pig flesh! Please re-read the entire story from Mark 7:1-23. In no way did Jesus imply that it is alright to eat any kind of meat, even though it might appear it was included in his words in verse 15 where he said, "There is nothing that enters a man from the outside that can defile him:". This statement should also be qualified at the end with, "the way sin defiles a man." On other occasions Jesus clearly stated that some foods can defile a man and they are to be avoided. Virtually every Bible translator and commentator knows this to be true. It's so simple! In no way did Jesus call for his followers to outright "hate" their relatives. But these same translators and commentators want us to believe there is absolutely "nothing" that a person can eat that can defile them! Jesus should be understood to be saying; "Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him "to the far greater degree that sin defiles him"? Mark 7:18. Unclean food, and especially meat from unclean animals, continues to pollute or defile a person even though it is to a lesser degree than what sin defiles. Dealing with sin is far more important. But cleanliness in one’s diet is not to be ignored even though it is a smaller issue. Jesus taught that even the smaller matter of the law is not to be left undone after the "weightier" matters of the law are accomplished. See Matthew 23:23. The fact that even after Jesus' sacrifice it is possible for a person to pollute themselves with unclean food is evident in his words to the church in Thyatira in the book of Revelation where Jesus speaks to seven churches, in Revelation 2:14-15; Revelation 2:20 & Revelation 3:4. If there is "nothing" a person can eat that will defile him, how could Jesus say these things? This also flies directly in the face of what Paul taught in 1st Corinthians 8:1-13, and 10:23-33 where in his world, the sin of it all is only in one's head. But I digress. There is also the fact that if indeed Jesus had pronounced all foods clean, Peter would have been there and heard it! But he acted like he never heard of such a detestable thing when he had his vision concerning Cornelius. Apparently, Peter didn't get out of Jesus' words what many teachers today would have us think he said! That's enough ranting.

That’s my understanding of the issue and I’d like to know if you already have a Bible study on this or if you plan to make one? I wish you well in the endeavour. Thank you for reading this comment. I hope it inspires another lovely bible study.
I will give this some attention very soon. Thank you for leaving a comment and studying with me.
This was super interesting
The point Jesus is making is of the more serious degree of defiling, that sin causes, compared to eating unclean food. He had been laying into the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in straining at a gnat while inhaling a camel again. They were getting all bent out of shape over Jesus' disciples not washing their hands before they ate. It should also be noted that in the entire context of this debate between Jesus and the Pharisees, the subject matter at hand was food of any kind, not just meat, being defiled by unwashed hands. Nowhere in this context is there the mention of unclean animal meat like pig flesh! Please read the entire story from Mark 7:1-23. I would like to quote a translation that is as close to word for word as can be rendered. It is the King James II Version, and it comes from the side column of my Greek Interlinear Bible where every word can be verified. And he said to them, "Are you also so undiscerning? Do you not perceive that everything that enters from the outside into the man is not able to defile him? This is because it does not enter into his heart but into the belly, and goes out into the waste-bowl, purging all the foods." Mark 7:18-20. And here is the same passage from the old KJV and the NKJV. Notice how much closer they are to the above translation. And he saith unto them, "Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?" Mark 7:18-20 KJV. So he said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" Mark 7:18-20 NKJV. The first thing that everyone should notice is that in these translations, Mark makes no commentary, and the words, "purging all the foods" are part of Jesus' ongoing sentence. Notice also that there are no more than four words in what has been translated by others as Mark's significantly longer commentary! These four words, "purging all the foods" are the literal word for word translation of the four Greek words used. It is astounding to think that Christian translators have managed to turn these four simple words into Mark's commentary that Jesus had made some kind of declaration. The point Jesus is making is of the more serious degree of defiling, that sin causes, compared to eating unclean food. He had been laying into the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in straining at a gnat while inhaling a camel again. They were getting all bent out of shape over Jesus' disciples not washing their hands before they ate. It should also be noted that in the entire context of this debate between Jesus and the Pharisees, the subject matter at hand was food of any kind, not just meat, being defiled by unwashed hands. Nowhere in this context is there the mention of unclean animal meat like pig flesh! Please re-read the entire story from Mark 7:1-23. In no way did Jesus imply that it is alright to eat any kind of meat, even though it might appear it was included in his words in verse 15 where he said, "There is nothing that enters a man from the outside that can defile him:". This statement should also be qualified at the end with, "the way sin defiles a man." On other occasions Jesus clearly stated that some foods can defile a man and they are to be avoided. Virtually every Bible translator and commentator knows this to be true. It's so simple! In no way did Jesus call for his followers to outright "hate" their relatives. But these same translators and commentators want us to believe there is absolutely "nothing" that a person can eat that can defile them! Jesus should be understood to be saying; "Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him "to the far greater degree that sin defiles him"? Mark 7:18. Unclean food, and especially meat from unclean animals, continues to pollute or defile a person even though it is to a lesser degree than what sin defiles. Dealing with sin is far more important. But cleanliness in one’s diet is not to be ignored even though it is a smaller issue. Jesus taught that even the smaller matter of the law is not to be left undone after the "weightier" matters of the law are accomplished. See Matthew 23:23. The fact that even after Jesus' sacrifice it is possible for a person to pollute themselves with unclean food is evident in his words to the church in Thyatira in the book of Revelation where Jesus speaks to seven churches, in Revelation 2:14-15; Revelation 2:20 & Revelation 3:4. If there is "nothing" a person can eat that will defile him, how could Jesus say these things? This also flies directly in the face of what Paul taught in 1st Corinthians 8:1-13, and 10:23-33 where in his world, the sin of it all is only in one's head. But I digress. There is also the fact that if indeed Jesus had pronounced all foods clean, Peter would have been there and heard it! But he acted like he never heard of such a detestable thing when he had his vision concerning Cornelius. Apparently, Peter didn't get out of Jesus' words what many teachers today would have us think he said! That's enough ranting.
Thanks for sharing your study with us. I appreciate your time and effort.
