how to REALLY be saved: a biblical perspective

how to REALLY be saved: a biblical perspective... STOP TAKING THE BIBLE LITERALLY.

If it makes logical sense why not?
There are certain things in the Bible that need not to be taken literally. Since its meant to be a symbol.
there are some that are taken literally. It depends on the true sense of the scripture. We cannot conclude to stop taking all things in the Bible literally.

1 Corinthians 2:14
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

haaaaaaaay...

1 Procopio 1:20
Bible is not applicable to all

In God's perspective men are not good. That's why he send a savior! Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

John 3:19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Isaiah 53:6 (New International Version)

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

By nature we are evil. Even in children it's easy for them to learn bad things, even without teaching them.

Another God's perspective is: MAN IS BASICALLY GOOD and HOLY! In Genesis we read that GOD created MAN in His IMAGE and LIKENESS! Even if man commits a sin, that does not mean man becomes evil and bad! The GOODNESS of man is still there and he only needs to WAKE UP and realize that he is ONE WITH GOD!

Let us FOCUS on GOD's CREATION and not so much on SINFULNESS and EVIL for that is not truly our real identity. Our real identity is of GOODNESS and ONENESS with GOD!

We got ourselves a credible answer. What more do you want?

how did you know that it was taken literally?
by logic it will imply that you know the spiritual?

because if a teacher say that your answer is wrong it means the teacher knows the correct answer, right?
so when you said that "STOP TAKING THE BIBLE LITERALLY", it means you know spiritual.

Peace!

how to be good and what is good?
some good is not good to others, so we must have a standard basis of GOOD.
