of course they don't think Christianity is fun- look at everything they have to give up that the flesh LOVES. The lost man is not a child of God- it is a child of the devil. The lost man does not see Christianity as fun- only as servitude and giving up the lusts of the flesh- they don't see it...
i don't really know how this ties in with your question/argument, and I do not believe that God oversees evolution (that's what it sounded like in your last statement)
No we don't have scripture that disallow worship teams- but we do have scriptures that disallow certain things- like emotionalism in worship, wordly music, a fleshly beat, women leading etc. If a worship team is solely people who lead the congregation in singing godly hymns that glorify and...
I really don't believe that's how Christ will have it- I believe that he will do the asking about "I told you to tell these people about me and you didn't and they didn't have an opportunity to know how to be saved and now they're going to go to hell."
It is not the person who drives away the...
not sure what you just said prosecutor, but I stand firm that a person is saved forever once he accepts Jesus Christ into his heart. The Lord says that NO MAN can take a saved person out of his hand. I don't really know how any one can twist that to fit their concept of a lost salvation.
I believe that God has given us spiritual gifts to do his work, but I don't really believe that there is any part in scripture that says to do something only if it "feels" right. Isn't there that nagging in your soul when you see someone and it tells you "tell them about Jesus, tell them about...
you think that by handing out soup people are being saved? Just like those humanistic organizations sending money and supplies to Asia after the tsunami- money to feed DEAD people (because they ARE dead- they're spiritually dead and going to hell) No one is giving them a sandwich and saying "You...
notice how Christ does not say we are the "sweetness of the world" but SALT- salt is more likely something to be spat out than savoured. It can be biting at times. So is the gospel- a two edged sword, brought to the world by the Lord's disciples.
this scripture that NetDoc presented is precisely why we actively tell people about Jesus. They can't get saved unless they know how to get saved, and that they NEED to be saved. Lost people are just set fine and dandy with their lifestyle- they like sin and it suits them. It is not until...
No, maybe you don't understand how we go door to door- we knock a door, introduce ourselves, and ask simply have you accepted Jesus Christ as your saviour, or are you sure if you were to die today where you would go?- If people reject our invitation, say I'm all set, we tell them to have a nice...
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was...
this is referring to the submissive position that wives have to their husbands. 1 Tim 2:9-15:In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing...
the fact that the Bible refers to God as male is an anthropomorphism- God taking on attributes of humanity in order for us to understand him better in his Word.- God is a spirit- without body.
However, JESUS CHRIST is male- Jesus Christ is fully GOD- he is the 2nd person of the trinity. The...
how else do you "make disciples" (which are followers of Jesus Christ) unless you tell them that they need to be saved, how to be saved, and how to follow Jesus? They MUST be shown scripture (that is called preaching).
you don't make disciples of Jesus by acting like a good Christian and...
you can't really use 1 Corinthians 14 as HOW to do something because 1 Corinthians is a REBUKE- how NOT to do something- and tongues are clearly NOT in use today.
This portion of scripture is referring to salvation- NOT leadership roles. You are taking this scripture way out of context.
Please explain 1 Tim 9-15, if you believe that God sees no difference in the sexes: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with...
I believe that the purpose of marriage is to avoid the lusts of the flesh.
HOWEVER I believe that scripture clearly states that procreation is a followed purpose of marriage-
thus- a person burns in his flesh towards another- get married to avoid this- then they are commanded by God to bear...
a person freely chooses to drink, just as a person freely chooses to be a homosexual-- if you argue that a person has a propensity towards alcoholism, that just means that that person all the more needs Jesus Christ to get him through his sinful flesh and constantly rely on the holy spirit to...
