I honestly can't say I'd be willing to suffer and die in such a painful way, even for the sake of humanity. But then, I'm not blameless either, am I? I'm glad God doesn't forgive like we do. I still am having trouble forgiving most people myself, some within my immediate family. It's... a...

Revelation 22:13 English Standard Version (©2001) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” If something or someone has always existed, then how can there be a 'before' in the first place?

I don't know that that's accurate. I've had moments where I've had joy and been satisfied in my soul, but wasn't happy. I was in the throes of despair even. And yet... It's hard for me to explain, and a bit personal, so yeah.

Yeah it was real funny when they nailed him to the cross. Nevermind the whole 'dying for our sins' part. Haha... haha... ha. The real joke is that most people nit pick the details they want to hear, and chuck the rest. They also don't seem to understand the concepts of justice, choice...

Tbh, there are certain things in life that need bigots, otherwise people are just going to keep making one mistake after another. That's just in general, btw, not specific to this topic.

Good works, even church attendance, don't save you. Only Christ does. When you realize that then church doesn't seem so important... though I suppose it is for fellowship, so while it's not a sin NOT to go, it might be best to still go so long as it's building you up in Christ.

I'm posting in the Baptist section. Think about it. Also I like how people are already setting their defenses up against me when I have yet to state my position on the whole issue. The reason I was asking the point of the thread is that it seemed like an attempt to troll. As in, 'is the...

Is there false doctrine? Are there false prophets?

Sin. Rebellion. Perhaps materialism... I dunno. You could write an entire book series on the reasons why they don't. But I think every single reason probably centers around the ego... the self. Why should they believe in a God who should be worshiped and revered above all else in the...

I know that pride and summer time come before fall... ~Relient K, Wake Up Call. What I'm implying is that pride is perhaps the deadliest sin of all. The evidence of your pride is in the very title of the thread. There is no humility. Christ was humble and obedient to the point of death on a...

I personally feel that it's best to stay away from gray areas, just in case.

Sorry but holding up those signs is not "Christian" activity. Also if I'm guessing right, that's the Westboro church, which has a reputation by themselves for this sort of behavior. Sure I could be said to be judging them, I guess, but it's not because of the signs by themselves. Actions...

Hell, no matter what it's other qualities may or may not be, is eternal separation from God with no hope for redemption. While on this earth, yes, we are separated from God because of sin, but we still can accept Christ and be forgiven of all sin, which lifts the separation. Even so, God still...

While I agree with the Nicene Creed, I do not submit to it, as it cannot save me. I have faith in Christ, and in a sense I do submit to God in this way, but the submission of Islam is different in my honest opinion. Yes, you can use the literal definition, but it boils down to the 'how' and...

Why do you feed milk to a newborn? Why not a burger? It's because they aren't ready for solid food yet. Not to mention a burger being way too big at that point in their development. So it is with the Bible. Telling about King Saul's suicide as a bedtime story would definitely be a bit...

There's a whole thing in 1 Corinthians about spiritual gifts, including Tongues, if I remember right. Something about how the 'pagans' would speak in gibberish, as in not any known language. And how they (Corinth) were starting to do the same thing. I dunno for sure. Anyway yeah we're not...

No one, athiest or otherwise, can repent if they don't want to, and/or don't acknowledge God is, well, God, and especially if they don't accept Christ died for their sins, that they might have life. Repent means to 'turn away from', if I'm not mistaken. It's not just saying 'sorry'; it's...

That's actually quite creative. Wish I'd thought of it.

Sorry but a man-made definition of man-made religion really can't apply to Christianity, imho. You don't call belief in gravity a religion; so I don't call belief in Christ a religion, since it's a fact.

Never as in they've never said it wasn't a religion, or never as in they've never said it was a religion?
