Accepting Jesus is NOT Biblical!!

Got your attention? Ha!

Seriously though, I have come to loath the word "biblical" especially when someone is trying to prove a point regarding doctrine or how one should live their life...

Is it biblical to_____(fill in the blank.)

"Biblical" is used to say: it's in the Bible. or The Bible teaches.

This is such a slippery slope, because by using some cutting and pasting one can make the Bible say pretty much anything...thus, making it Biblical.

That being said. Is Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior Biblical?

Well, nowhere in the Bible does it say that.

Not once can you find the phrase: accept(ing) Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Or Accept Jesus into your heart.

You can't find "accept" and "Jesus" right next to each other.

Though, that is what we are told is how to be saved.

Do the search...if you can find it, let me know. I did a search: I couldn't.

The Bible says nothing about accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.

What does that mean?

Not much. It's nothing radical. People have known since the Bible was written that it isn't in the Bible.

My issue is not with the "Accepting" part....it's with the overuse of Biblical to argue a side, to point out a wrong, to do something other that LOVE someone or show them LOVE.

and, by the way, love IS Biblical.

(in fact, it's mentioned all over the Bible)
