How is a person really "saved"

[Servant19]

Only one came down as Human, suffered and died and rose again on the third day.

We have a ONE TRUE GOD, that is not only Divine, but is human, and showed us, as a human, how only he is human and Divine.

No other god has ever done this. Only the one true God.

The Old Testament predicted what God would do, and it was done to the T.

Rinnie dear

Who made that the standard for discernment?

Who?

Only the second I get out of confession.

I usually ruin it by coming out of confession, looking at all the people waiting, and then saying under my breath “Well… would you look at all these sinners!”

not sure which is more difficult, coming out and seeing a throng waiting, or being the only one there.

Discernment:
I accept God as perfect love. If God is perfect love, God’s person is poured out perfectly and completely…in his pouring out, God reveals himself. He shows himself to us, communicates himself to us. When we come to love someone, we reveal ourselves to that person, we come to know each other. Maybe discernment is the growing in knowledge of this relationship

In his gratuitous revelation of himself, God becomes one of us, and one with us. Think about how we love one another, which is an image and sign of what God gives us. When we love, we have compassion with one another. Compassion means not just feelings, but to be with one another, to suffer with one another, to joy with one another.
As God reveals himself and unites himself in perfect love with his creation, he becomes so personally one with us, he is Incarnated. That is how I know God is God. I know it in a personal sense, not just in a head knowledge sense. God takes the ultimate step of con-descension, to be one with us in all things but sin. Can we expect anything less of a God who created everything that exists out of love?

one must love God, with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, and all their strength. and their neighbor as themself.

THIS.

By being born again.

What does this mean? Can a man enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? heh…

If you are one of the fortunate (or unfortunate it may seem if it occurs!) who descends into hell as a result of your own actions, KEEP GOING!

What is hell?

A state of mind caused by misdeeds.

When you emerge from hell you have been saved or, born again.

How can you know you are in hell?

There will be NO mistaking it. You will feel as if you are walking a spiritual path and the devil (your mind) will continually mock you as a chance for being saved comes and goes… repeatedly. You will continue to lose hope as you descend deeper into hell as chances come and go, because unfortunately the devil is always a step ahead. It is when all seems HOPELESS that you will emerge from hell.

And then, congratulations you have been saved
