Just do what you can, God cares enough that the very hairs of your head are numbered. He understands your limits, because He made you.
If praying as you are consistently is too hard, just do it briefer, if reading every day is too hard, just read a chapter, or ten verses even. The Christian life is a marathon, not a race. When you gas out in a marathon, and you can't run anymore, you just try walk, eventually you'll build up steam again. Just don't quit.

Salvation is also entirely through faith, this is asserted throughout the bible. The thief on the cross never got baptized or attended church. Even some Good OT Christians ended their lives poorly, like Saul, or Hezekiah.
>For whosoever shall call upon the name shall be saved

>The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

I assume you are catholic. The differences between biblical Christianity and crusty pseudo-political institutions is pretty large. I can defend all these points from the bible, but Catholics don't trust or respect the bible. Similarly, Christians don't trust or respect non-biblical theology (for you this is the writings of the church fathers, alleged church history, for the orthodox it'd be their version, for the Mormons this is the book of Mormon for 7th day Adventists, this is the pearl of great price).

In general, I believe secondhand writings on Christianity should take a backseat to the bible, and anyone who'd argue otherwise is trying to take you for a ride.

My bad, even Catholics believe that Christ went to hell after taking the sin of the whole world upon himself. Given the "biblical repentance" comment I assume this person must be a lordship salvation/ beer church type, or otherwise what is known as a liberal Christian.

Just to quickly refute these points from the bible, given they might listen.
>>>What claims has he made that are contrary to the bible?
>>bible alone
If you're going to ignore the bible, there's no need to even pretend to call your sect a part of Christianity.
>>faith alone
>J316: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
>John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
>>once saved always saved
See "eternal", "everlasting" in the above
>>rejection of biblical repentance
Repent means three things in the bible, to turn away from, to feel regret in one's heart or to make something right (which you could argue is the same as the first one). The word repent is found nowhere in the book of John, btw. Of course the book of John is self-defined as being written that people might know they have eternal life.
>>KJV-onlyism
Why would anyone accept bad translations? Other than keeping to TR based versions, the reason the IFB keeps to the KJV is just that it's the best one (if you were Spanish you'd read the Reina Valera instead, for instance). KJV-onlyism can mean something else, but that's believed by a different mob of people, not the nifb.
>>so called doctrine of reprobation
Romans 1/ 2 Thessalonians 2/ Pharoah in Exodus
>>Christ suffered torture/torment in hell
>Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

>For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

>Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

>Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption

God can eat my wet shit. I'm not original

>>83788097
I think the anon you replied to was pointing out that Jesus did not literally suffer in hell. He went to hell so that he could bring the gospel to the old testament saints so that they may see salvation

>>83789504
salvation is meant for the sinner

>>83788191
i'm not interested in "converting" you by the way, but encourage continuous prayers for absolute clarity always as i would anyone regardless of their faith. the truth will reveal itself to you.

>bible alone
nowhere in the bible

>rejection of biblical repentance
reducing it to intellectual assent as you're seemingly trying to do ignores the call to "bear fruit that befits repentance"

>KJV-onlyism
where's that in the bible?
this is an artificial tradition that relies on man alone, of whom explicitly said their translation may contain errors and one must consult other sources
no translation is infallible
this doctrine contradicts sola scriptura, so either the former or latter can be true, or neither. both cannot be true at the same time.
>so called doctrine of reprobation
in romans 1, god gives over people to their sins after they reject him. permissive in his part, not causative reprobation. 2 thessalonians 2 is those "who refused to love the truth" being deluded as judgment. god foreknows and permits final impenitence but does not predestine damnation arbitrarily
also see:
1 timothy 2:4
2 peter 3:9
ezekiel 18:23
ezekiel 33:11
>Christ suffered torture/torment in hell
didn't happen, he went to hell not to suffer, but to save
john 19:30
acts 2:24-31
1 peter 3:18-19

for a bonus, check out the scientific proof of eucharistic miracles, the shroud of turin, and the dead sea scrolls

that is all i have in me and far more than i ever cared to post about the faith on here, god bless you anon
