Nice post, OP. I agree for the most part with what you're saying.
I think that the older I get, the more I start to realize that I'm not as special as people told me I was when I was younger. I'm just like every otherperson on this planet. Oftentimes, we are told to make "something" of...
God hates the sin but loves the sinner. Yes, homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. But homosexuals can be forgiven. You talk about rules, but that's notwhat Christianity is about. Read Romans. Christianity is about grace, not the law. In fact, that's what made Jesus mad about the religious...
I'm sure you're referring to this:
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, noreffeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers...
Perhaps I'm not being clear. It's very possible that I'm being incoherent.
What baffles me is that you keep saying that Christian theologians would disagree with my viewpoints, but I would say that I'm pretty well-versed in whatChristian theologians believe, and I believe the same things. My...
Dude, you need to relax.
Like I said in my previous post, you are right that God wants someone to change after they have been saved/forgiven. At the same time, no one is perfect.People will make mistakes. People will lie. People will commit adultery. People will steal. People will be arrogant...
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. According to the Bible, when Jesus died on the cross, there was a thief on a cross next to him, being crucified. He askedJesus to remember him. Jesus told him that he would be in paradise with Jesus.
Yeah, you're correct in a sense. Biblical Christianity does...
The verse you pointed out is about those who do not believe in the person and work of Jesus. Please read it in context. Christianity is not about being morallyupright, but it is about Jesus. As you may know, the people who Jesus rebuked the most were those who were the most morally upright and...
All Im saying, and I all I can go on is as its presented in the bible. According the bible, no that person wouldn't get in if indeed christian theology were true. You really dont have to take my word on it, its there in the bible. I agree we need look past the bible, but don't need to update...
Anything is a weapon in the hands of a fool.
Conservatives have used Christianity in order to get more votes and, consequently, more power in the government.
It's funny because Christians (and the Jesus of the Bible) were the first liberals, fighting for civil rights, equality and spending on...
Thank you, JumpmanSt.
Like someone else said, how did a post about how a dude got fired from his work turn into a war of message boards? None of this is needed. This is the last thing the sneaker community needs at this point in time - division.
I hope everyone can make amends and patch up...
Wow...this is thread is just......wow. It's amazing what one post could do. I hope everyone that made/making a big decision really thought about it before they came to their conclusions. It would be a shame if all this happened just because people caught feelings...
