Accomplishment

The difference, as I see it, would be that out of an unbeliever's perspective, doing "good" things is entirely optional. There is no objective standard of morality that necessitates doing good towards others, only subjective human opinion. Whereas a Christian is compelled by the objective law of...

Thank you for this great answer. Could "good works" also mean the work of the Holy Spirit to cleanse you from sin, ex. leaving old sinful habits or starting new Godly habits? After all, many unbelievers will also do good deeds, although these won't have any Godly purpose. Do the deeds of a saved...

Could anyone tell me what is meant in the Bible when there is referred to "good works"? There is also often preached that "good works" are the result of salvation and that these works come through the work of the Holy Spirit, but what exactly are they? Please give all answers with proof from the...

Protestant (although I do not want to belong to any "group", and see divisions as pointless) I believe solely in what is said in the Scriptures.

I don't know if my question fits the criteria but I would love an answer if you could give me one. I would like to know if the Holy Spirit grants us a talent and intends for us to use it, but only a way that is in accordance with His plan for us. And if He does grant us such a talent, does this...

Rectify

Which one, democracy or communism? What's your divine system of fairness? The question of the thread is essentially the same as "Where do infants go when they die?" and if I were to dare an answer I'd say that God's judgement is divine and therefore he would know whether or not that infant...

Because you are not acting morally in the 21st century.

If there is no "true" in morality, then it would be senseless to have it. You are again stating your opinion without any proof, neglecting to realize that not a single person in this world cares what your opinion is. The facts are that humans cannot create morality that is not contradictory. We...

And if I consider Christianity moral, why am I wrong and why are you right? No one cares what your opinion is. Get some evidence without borrowing from God. You can't call something immoral if you don't even know what morality is. You are not God.

Why are you God? You are labelling things as "negative", "good" etc. without any standard of good beyond yourself. Do we get to choose what good is, or only you? And if you say security is good, why are you right? I think you're just afraid of dying. What if I and 100 other people choose that...

We torment each other and ourselves more than Satan does. Do not think that you are better than Satan originally was. The whole reason why he hates us is because God favoured us more than him (in his view) while he was actually the second most powerful and holy being in existence and we were...

He was good once, but he was jealous of God and felt that he would be a better ruler than God. I think he also felt "replaced" by humans. I don't think God can dispose of Satan now. If he did so, there would be no other entity other than God that one could worship - there wouldn't even be the...

It is a good thing that you still remain aware of the fact that God is not all about fire. If you watch Game of Thrones, the character "Melisandre" will probably irritate you very much. I'd advise you not to watch Game of Thrones.

Well essentially I believe that masturbation isn't a sin, due to lack of Biblical proof that does not merely insinuate something vague. It could be a sin. It's something that most men do, like lying, which is one of the most destructive sins (which is why I called masturbation as sin a...

Why do you pretend to know Satan so well? God is the only one that may judge humans yes. But we are free to judge everything else, including God. How else do we tell right from wrong? Satan didn't create sex, you are right, but he can take from God's creation and twist it and corrupt it to...

Awkward

Is everyone going to ignore the fact that Satan probably licks his lips when he sees someone masturbating? I can even imagine him lending a hand. I don't know if that means it's sin, but I would like some thoughts on this.
