is that a trick question?

I don't ask trick questions. I asked a simple question. Do you have an answer?

Then believe that Jesus Christ paid the wages of sin (Romans 6:23 KJV) for God made Him (Jesus Christ) to be sin for you (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again on the third day (Romans 4:25 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). You've seen it on this website a million times. Receive the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV). This is not complicated. It's simple. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!
You can either try to be perfect, or you can be made perfect. One's hard (impossible). The other is easy (except for being hard on the pride).
You get to choose, chrys.

It's not that you can't, it's that you don't believe it's that simple.
I believe God. Why don't you believe God?
I presented the simpicity that is in Christ 2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV

Simple. I believe God when he claims he made me clean, and made my sins whiter than snow, and removed them as far as the east from the west. Why should I doubt Him? :idunno:
In your view, is it possible to fulfill Matthew 7:12?
I do not hang my beliefs on one or two passages from the bible
especially Paul's stuff,
which is easy to misinterpret
I know. That's very sad. I'm truly sorry for you, chrys.

So how many passages do you use to claim Peter is the Rock instead of Christ being the Rock? :think:
caring about me is a step in the right direction
Peter was singled out many times
he walked on water
he was asked by Jesus to feed His sheep
he was the first apostle
etc
Jesus cared enough to actually die for you so you wouldn't think you have to try your hand at your other so-called option.

True. But I wasn't quoting Paul. Rather, I was quoting God Almighty and His Son.
No Chrys. You believe what you church tells you to believe, for the most part, for the most important part.
Who said these things?
John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
So why don't you believe those scriptures?
