    Is Catholicism a Christian religion ?

    So what the apostles didn't say, forms the basis of your religion? I can see that actually....:D The requirements for baptism rule out immersing infants who cannot choose to become disciples for themselves, and there is no proxy arrangement.......today that would be viewed as child abuse. You...

    Testimony at bus stop

    In the guy at the stop case, he wasn't preaching but was very happy god saved him he gave me a good life story from being in prison and jail, his family, and telling me that god must have sent him to talk to me given he thought maybe I was experiencing something that god wanted him to tell me...

    Testimony at bus stop

    From the Christian perspective, there is no question about our obligation to “witness” to anyone who will listen. It is not a message forced on people, but offered....and its not given to coerce anyone. It is a direct command from Jesus himself to "make disciples", (Matthew 28:19-20) so there...

    On The Second Coming of Christ

    If that is the case, then I'm afraid you need more Bible study. The return of Christ is not in mortal physical form. The main difference of course is that God did not give Haile Selassie these titles. The returned Jesus Christ is a powerful spirit king who returns with his angelic forces to...

    I have another question for YOU to ignore

    Yes 1 Thessalonians 1:6

    Believing

    I think the overall message of Bible is to encourage newness, rather than imitation of old ways. “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment” Mat. 9:16 “…we also should walk in newness of life.” Rom. 6:4 “And that ye put on the new man…” Ephes. 4:24 “…And have put on the new man...

    Believing

    This is a good question. My first impulsive answer is NO! But then I remember that But what I am saying is some people have come to believe that it is possible to see truth just as someone else sees it. They even believe when it is told them "see it my way in order to be saved". The line...

    The prophets in 1 Thessalonians 2:15

    It is indeed, but this makes your pretentious certitude no less distasteful. And, Cynthia, most of us are capable of using Google. So, for example, ... By cherry-picking your referrenced you likely impress no one other than yourself.

    What's the point of clergy?

    Pointing to the sins of others does not excuse the clergy for their sins. "Being human" is no excuse for the gross misconduct and evil the clergy as a class have perpetrated in the name of God. Jesus denunciation of the clergy of his day stands as a warning example to their modern-day...

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    There's a difference between imitation and assuming someone else's role. Paul was an apostle. Jesus is the Christ. You are neither, and I think that you will agree that you can't do what either of them did. Yet you want to choose this at the cost of following Christ. Imitating Paul...

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    So we should imitate Paul and not Jesus?

    Homosexuality and the Bible: Part 2

    1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. Philippians 3:17 Join with others in following my example...

    The sick concept of Eternal hell suffering.

    Yes everlasting destruction, not Hellfire there is a difference. Gehenna is a place of everlasting destruction, not burning for eternity in a pit of fire. Oh and yes I have read the bible, not just heard it from the elders/pastor/preacher or whatever you may want to call them. oh and by the...

    Christian hedonist video

    Equating joy with happiness is as impossible in English as it is in Greek. There is no such thing as Christian happiness, and it is completely incompatible with the concept of joy.

    Christian hedonist video

    It is the will of God for Christians to suffer. How should we suffer? Should we suffer with fear and lack of faith. Or should we suffer with joy, knowing that there is a divine purpose for our suffering as Christians?. Look how Jesus and the disciples suffered, with GREAT JOY (happiness)...
