I will simply answer the theological challenge above in this post...as its very clear that you do not understand the theology of Salvation by Grace through Faith.
The "dilemma of faith and works"
I am an SDA and our denomination believes that the debate about faith and works rages because a...
I am not saying that I haven't encountered any rude Christians on this forum, only not many lately. There was one but that person seems to have left.
Although this is not true for all Christians, the rudeness usually starts as soon as they find out that I am a Baha'i, not a Christian...
Not in my experience on this forum. In general, atheists and pagans are more rational and respectful than most Christians I've interacted with on RF. I've been on this forum for two and a half years, and I've rarely had an atheist or pagan resort to calling me disparaging names or posting false...
That's all I'm after. :)
Clearly, your understanding differs from mine, which is why you cannot agree with those portions you noted in my earlier post. But I'll do my best to address your question.
First of, I know that God communicates to ordinary humans. I have experienced it. In fact...

I would say it's a given that a hard life can make people hardened and tough, which can make them indifferent to others and willing to kill to survive. If people are hungry most of the time because there's little to no food, it seems that there would a propensity to store, save, ration, and...
From Adam and Eve. Yes, of course.
The human traits they developed, were not due to the harsh struggles our ancestors had to endure just to be able to survive.
However, suppose I did agree with you, you don't have any evidence to support the claim, that evil tendencies developed due to the...
Good afternoon Snow White. Galatians5:22-23 shows the fruits of the spirit evident in the lives of the believers. However, people sometimes miss what it actually says. Let's read the scripture.
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness...
Not in my experience on this forum. In general, atheists and pagans are more rational and respectful than most Christians I've interacted with on RF. I've been on this forum for a year and a half, and I've rarely had an atheist or pagan resort to calling me petty and childish names or posting...
Based on my personal experiences, I think that the pagans I know are far more Christian than the vast majority of the Christians I either know personally or have encountered online. The pagans are the ones who truly demonstrate the moral virtues of Christianity, such as love, joy, peace...
Do you think the Southern Baptists of the Confederate States were good Christians as they held black people in slavery?
Do you think Lutherans and Catholics of Nazi Germany were good Christians even as they rounded up and murdered Jews?
Why isn't there a consistent pattern of Christians...
When you try to distinguish fake / counterfeit money from real money, all you need to do is examine and get very familiar with genuine money’s characteristics.
Jesus said what to look for, at John 13:34,35…”I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you...
We can develop or cultivate physical qualities, and we can develop or cultivate 'spiritual qualities' - Galatians 5:22:23
Spiritual attributes such as: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness (be humble) and have self control.
Bible principles coupled with Jesus' New...
No I did not attribute that quote to Jesus. I quoted Jesus saying "You shall know them by their fruits". Then I pointed to what Paul said as examples of what spiritual fruit looks like. I did not say, Jesus said what Paul lists in Galatians.
Out of curiosity, what do you consider spiritual...
