. Since i've always felt kind of a weird, i plainly loved the earliest movies of the serie. That's not the case of the latest ones. The defense of the gay cause, that was previously subtile and not direct, has become a banner with obvious links. The mutants, earlier identified with the...
Agreed. God has given him authority to rule the world above all other creatures. Through him, all things will be reunited with the Father. That is why, even not worshiping, I belive we must bend to him and call him to our lives.
By the way, missing your posts and @Kolibri ' s
JWs differ from other christians in that their beliefs seem to be more pure and faithful to the scriptures. Sometimes that means making little concessions to the mundane world. Sometimes, emphasizing the importance of a rigid obedience. Sometimes, raising concepts that contradict the...
Sometimes religions become just a way of domain...i will help the other just with the purpose of making him join us...Or the other's help doesn't worth because he is subtracting us.
Good to know your thoughts. Think our Gods (or whatever powers led you to these thoughts) are not so far apart.
Colossians 1:20. 19 For in him [Christ] all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
A beautiful quote suporting universalism.
A great loss for this forum. As a christian, you have shown fidelity to what you found as truth, in a always loving way. As a man, you have made many friends in this forum, that will miss you a lot.
Hope you change your mind.:(
By the way, I didn't understand the objection of the staff to your...
Me too am against a version of a bloody god. It is curious how you managed the contrary arguments in a way to get this result. Maybe it is the reflex of a society that has desvinculated love from any kind of self sacifice.
. Yes, I believe God could and can just forgive us with no need of sacrifice. The question is: would we plainly feel His forgiveness this way? The sacrifice of His beloved Son was more than a God's request for Himself. It was a way to make us sure of His love and forgiveness, when we come...
Yes, there are christians that believe in a burning and eternal hell. As there are christians that believe in other forms of hell. As there are christians that believe in a simple cessation of life for the wicked. As there are christians that believe in a future punishment, a purifying process...
The problem with Middle Estern politics is that there is no option of a enlighted government. The choice is always between the bad and the worse. Syria ia a good example. Assad's regime may be a dicatatorship and even corrupt. However, since the the very beginning of the arab spring, there was...
Tried Yoga in the past, but it didn't work well with me. Use to meditate however in a way to empty myself, which helps me identify and detach bad emotions. Dont think it goes against my christian faith, which tells me to retain what is good. And it surely can be better than hearing some sermons...
I believe God did not incarnate Himself. Instead, it was His beloved and begotten Son who did it, in a way to redeem the humankind from their fallen state. That didn't turn Jesus' experience isolate and apart from the almighty God, since He too got involved in it, by the condition of Father.
in spite of my respect and simpathy for the tibetan buddhism, it always sounded me strange and artificial their behaviour in looking for the reincarnation of their spiritual leader. Now comes the chinese government with this absurd decree.
Seems people are trying to rule reincarnation, instead...
Yes, there was a misunderstood.:D
If you were following the posts of this thread, you woud have noticed that, at the moment you posted, nobody was discussing the trinity, itself, but other subjects related to their faith, in a very unfriendly way:mad:. I thought your post were kind of an advice...
Corrections accepted, except for the scriptural support, which I think is not so clear.
By the way, let' not let the nature of God be a source of division, but of diversity.
