Christian Discussion Thread III

[The Holy Catholic Union]

Can I get an ''Amen''?!

You were suppose to say ''Amen'' if you agreed with the statement.
That Jesus loves people more than they know.

I don't honk either.

Why not brother?

[Blasveck]

Don't steal, murder, give to charity, help the downtrodden, live a live of abstinence concerning drugs and alcohol, sex within marriage.

And yet no belief in Jesus.

(Sorry to butt in, I know you were asking Lenin.)

Well, I was just wondering as God and Good go hand in hand. Both derive from old English, God derived from the old english god, and good derived from the adjective form of god (with a long o, can't figure out conjugating symbols on chrome). In essence, Culturally and Historically speaking, Goodly means to be Godly, or more pointedly within Western Culture, Christian.

Well someone can be "good", disregarding the cultural context of the word, in the sense that they do morally positive acts and yet lack a belief in God, yes?

Does this person still get to go to heaven? Or is entrance entirely based upon belief in Jesus? As if that changes anything?

I think it's based upon faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Welp. It looks like I'm going to burn in hell.

But hey, I love warm weather!

As a Southern Baptist I believe in once you are saved you are always saved. But what if you decide you no longer want to be a Christian or say you reject Christ after getting saved, are you still saved?

Why would faith be pertinent in respect to one's entrance in heaven?

Believing in Jesus and keeping his commandments is what will save one's self.
Jesus loves all of us so he gave us a chance. To accept him and be moral to be saved from sin.

Jesus loves all of us so he gave us a chance. To accept him and be moral to be saved from sin.

So a moral life is not enough? Jesus actually cares whether you believe in him or not?

Assuming that conciousness lives on after death, It'd be reasonable to assume that one's faith in God would change the instant they 'saw' him in the afterlife.

Not if you repent.

[Spiritual Universalism]

Understandable, but he said:



He just implies the use of "higher level" priests-believers to "protect from the wolves" and "guide in the right direction". Thus he creates a separation and division already in the community.

So we are not talking about a unity and commonwealth of all believers (in his words "Church"), but the separation between the Shepherds and the rest.

People don't need shepherds, people need to find their own way to the High Truth. No one will tell me what to do and how I will approach the Spiritual. Suggestions yes. But orders or even instructions, no. I believe it's a personal quest.

Jesus and Paul say you're wrong.

First you just plain ignore my logical request by saying that you don't have time to educate me (when I didn't ask you that).

Then, you are making me "wrong" with one sentence by calling the names of two spiritual humans of their era.

At least could I learn where I am wrong?

We are imperfect, our imperfect deeds cannot save us from sin. We need Jesus in order to be saved from sin.

You won't be saying that once you get there. Being seperated from Gods eternal love is a horrible thing and the pain of hell.
I hope you consider the gravity of your choice. Amen.

[Baobalt]

Because God cares about every single one of you overzealous crazies. LGBT rights CHECK for Atheists, Christians reaction poor. Abortion widespread legal for assault victims for Atheists, for christians not so much. Tell me more about your great, powerful, fair, and unbiased religion.

Jesus referred to himself as the Good Shepard, in many ways. Most notably that he would lay his life for us, but also, because "John 10: 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand."

We aren't called to find higher truth, we are called to follow Christ.

Then Christ established "HIS" church, on Peter, and told him to "Tend my sheep" .

One's one view is not enough, because Satan offers much deception. The Clergy tend the Sheep, and in unison they create One Church.

What constitutes being saved?

Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and that he died for your sins. Pray for Salvation and forgiveness. Pray like this: A) Admit that you are a sinner. B) Believe that He died for you. C) Confess your sins and ask for forgiveness.

That's it.

What exactly constitutes 'being saved'?

Living a moral life?

If our deeds are imperfect, then how does the concious act of belief then suffice?

Leningrad Union, you are my favorite person right now
