    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Christianity is not "Choosing to believe Christians" it is "Choosing to believe Christ." Believe or don't ... I'm not your mother.

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Romans 10:8-11 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For...

    For those who think that prophet Mohammad was a pedophile

    A 54 year old man had sex with a 9 year old girl! Nothing about that seems WRONG to you?

    Why are many extreme Christians so nasty?

    While off topic, this is simply not true. Although commonly repeated, the differences between Genesis 1 and the creation myths of surrounding peoples are not edits of trivial details. You have missed the point that the author (God or Moses) deliberately started with the form used by the pagan...

    Why are many extreme Christians so nasty?

    I'll give a shot at explaining and try not to use any Jesus tech-talk. I probably owe you at least that. You stated ... ... let's break this down: point 1. GOD: A working definition is the all knowing, all powerful creator of everything. point 2. You state that you went looking for GOD in...

    Why are many extreme Christians so nasty?

    QFT. (... but not just you, all of us.) Jesus saves (we don't), so those beating anyone up didn't understand the message.

    Christians only: Pacifism is the Celestial Embodiment of Jesus Christ

    Suffering seems an inescapable consequence of being alive ... irrespective of love or hate. A man spends decades with a festering anger contemplating how he has suffered some wrong and with one day get even ... he suffers for his hate. A woman miscarries in the middle of the second trimester...

    Christians only: Pacifism is the Celestial Embodiment of Jesus Christ

    Sorry, that was as clear as mud ... [confusion].

    What happens when we die?

    A dead man got up and walked and he told a bunch of people this was so. Those people chose to face death rather than say that they did not see what they had seen. There is something after death. It is reality, so face it 'people'. We are resurrected, our soul is permanent. We are eternal...

    Christians only: Pacifism is the Celestial Embodiment of Jesus Christ

    Jesus was not a pacifist, he was a non-violent activist. Matthew 12:33-37 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what...

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Sorry for responding piecemeal, it just saves me quoting your post in sections to identify which question each answer is specifically addressing, but I understand that your questions build to express a single point and will attempt to express a single point with my split responses. Probably...

    Wiping out Christianity and all other condemning religions

    A subtle point, but God (of Christianity) does not send you to hell for disbelief. People are sent to hell for the sins they commit. Disbelief is like being on death row and rejecting the Governor's pardon. You can't really blame the Governor for that.

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Frankly, the answer is far simpler ... We disagree. I believe that the NT is true and you believe that what it says is false. Jesus was not a man, he was the Word made flesh. The 'brood of vipers' we're not his friends trying to help the poor errant rabbi, they were hypocritical enemies of...

    Hello Christians (Christians Only)

    Hello Muslim, ask away. Jesus is the gatekeeper to God. No man may come to the Father, except through the Son. Jesus came to the world to forgive men of sin. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have...

    Looking for Scripture Explicitly Forbidding Same-Sex Marriage

    1 Corinthians 6:9 KJV Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? NKJV Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? NLT Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? NIV Or do you not know that...

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Before the Pharisees' feelings were hurt, they were leading millions to destruction every day with false additions to God's Law (according to Jesus). Luke 11:46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you...

    Looking for Scripture Explicitly Forbidding Same-Sex Marriage

    OK, Let's fact check your statements all together as a group. First, in context: 1 Corinthians 6:7-11 [NIV] 7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat...

    Looking for Scripture Explicitly Forbidding Same-Sex Marriage

    Please. What context completely reverses the explicit statement that those who live like this CAN NOT enter the Kingdom of Heaven to really mean that those who live like this CAN enter the Kingdom of Heaven? This is nonsense and your reference to Greek is a red herring. Feel free to reject what...

    Confessing Jesus as Lord

    We're not. Why do pagans tell Christians what we beleve about the Bible? Let's be honest, you are not looking for an answer to a question, you are looking for an argument from Christians or affirmation from other non-christians. Towards what end? By your own admission, you have no desire to...

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    Sorry, this is foolishness. To condemn the correction of a friend when you are doing wrong and are harming others and praise the kiss of Judas is pure nonsense. I suppose by YOUR twisted Golden Rule, Moses really should have left Israel in bondage because his actions hurt Pharaoh's feelings and...
