Why do baptist churches put Baptist on their signs? The same could be asked for almost every denomination we have. It is simple, it is advertisement. They are advertising to those who share their beliefs, saying "baptist people come here we are also baptist". ( I am only using baptist as an...

I have no idea what answers you have received since I have not read much of this thread. But have you thought about christians not having to follow any laws? That christians should just follow the spirit? Keeping laws is impossible for us to do. That is why Jesus had to come and do it for us...

amen

My issue wasn't about whether we can be holy or not. I know that we are. My issue was with working to obtain holiness. As with everything from God, we cannot earn it or deserve it. It must be given to us by grace.

Alike button cannot sum up how much I enjoyed reading your post. Thank you.

What you are asking is impossible. If we were able to follow exactly his ordinances and obey his word, then we would never have needed Jesus to do it for us. Holiness, righteousness, and blessings isn't a reward for us trying hard. That would mean that righteousness can be bought with our own...

I like what the people are saying about It being the Spirit's job to change people that we just show them God's love. Has anyone here ever been changed by threats of hell? Or have they ever been changed by the church telling them about their sins? The Bible is clear it is the goodness of God...

They're never relative in the mind of the person that holds them. Nevertheless, they change. I thought absolutes couldn't do that? Which they aren't; although they often appear to be. One would expect such a moal lawgiver to be consistent with His morals... let alone His laws. That rules...

Well that is where the bible comes in. If you do not believe the bible then all you have is speculation and you view the opinions of those who believe it as speculation. True, sometimes I try to think about that because the bible mentions how he will bring his original plan back. I do not know...

When people say that homosexuality is against nature i am guessing that they mean nature as God intended. Nature today is itself corrupted. So if we were to look at it from the point of what nature really is instead of what it was intended to be, then homosexuality is not against nature. However...

Did you know that religion goes against God? And how can you as a Christian consider yourself as part of this nation? Don't you know that Christians are strangers in this land, that we seek the kingdom of God and that we cannot serve two masters? Serve God or serve America.

I believe in moral absolutes, so I mean right according to God and the universe. However, I can see that this might not be acceptable to those who do not believe in moral absolutes or God, but I have no other answer. And I am saying just that about the fake christians. And true Christians will...

While I may agree that homosexuality is not a part of God's design, I disagree with you method of stating it. You are clearly angry as would be normal, but I believe that you have let your anger turn into hatred, or your hatred prolong your anger. Either way your statements do show hatred and...

The Federal has the authority to make any judgement they desire even if it is not right. As for why I thought that you were my enemy, to be honest I did expect you to be against anything that I said, but that was because of how I was while I was seriously thinking about atheism. It was wrong of...

I could think whatever I want if I was in communist Russia. I would be persecuted for it. But I could and mostly likely would have thought what I wanted. I believe that these "freedoms" are what made churches in America so weak and filled with fake christians. Persecution is how something...
