So I came across this passage, and I was wondering if BADecker could interpret...
Is this saying that if I believe in Jesus, my entire family is saved?
I recall other parts of the bible stating that salvation was a personal matter, and that my personal faith could not save my family, only they can save themselves?
Seems like a contradiction here... and being that salvation through Jesus is the core of Christianity, you'd think they would be consistent throughout the bible, right?
Quote from: Acts 16:29-31
29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

As long as you are searching for contradictions, you will never see much of anything else in anything.
Translation:
Fuck if I know
Well, obviously you don't know. If you had, you wouldn't have consulted me, who you have shown over and over that you don't believe anyway. This also shows your inability to rationally calculate much of anything.
First off, I am not consulting you, I am interrogating you
Chuckle. So you think that you are interrogating me. Chuckle.
Now that you mention it, ridicule might be a better word...
I can't be interrogating you since you have no information worth hearing
Why, Moloch. Thank you for the attempted ridicule. It only helps to boost my accuracy, since you have shown that you don't have anything to base your ridicule of me on.
Excepting that nearly every post I make links to sources and evidence proving you wrong...
I don't recall you ever posting a source or evidence, you simply repeat your own failed hypothesis
Much of what you say is inconsequential. Why would I want to get in the way of your silly beliefs?
The important things, like proving that God exists, are things that are self-evident to anybody who searches for the references using the things that I say. The only people that they are not self-evident to are people who are not very good thinkers, or those who don't want to see and don't look.
So what you're saying is that people who don't "find" God are stupid? That's a new low, even for you.
