Coexist?

[tulc]

Sure, do you feel yours is the only correct understanding of what it means to be a Christian?

So...11 days and still no answer?

When did loving your neighbor become "New-Age"?
tulc(is looking for a ball park date here)

It hasn't nothing to do with loving thy neighbor. We can love our neighbor and still not embrace or condone any unChristian beliefs.

...you can't disagree without being disagreeable? That's what coexist is really about. So you're for Christians being persecuted? Coexist isn't just about Christians "not embracing or condoning any unchristian beliefs" it's about others living with us in peace also.
tulc(would like not seeing Christians being persecuted)

As I mentioned in the post, coexisting peacefully should be the charge of every born again Christian in order to exemplify the love of Jesus Christ.

Just as soon as Jesus Christ accepts all other religions that deny Him as Lord...I'll be right there with ya!

I wouldn't hold yer breath...cause Jesus is THE only way to the Father!

All other ways are false and are nothing more than diversions designed by the enemy to get people to reject Jesus as Lord.

It's quite cut-N-dried, and black-N-white....

Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior
All others are diversions from the Truth

It hasn't nothing to do with loving thy neighbor. We can love our neighbor and still not embrace or condone any unChristian beliefs.

Exactly!

Oh, I think we should respect each others right to believe whatever religion we want (unless their belief involves killing, stealing or destroying...which is what satan came to do), non-Christians are hypocrites in most cases.

If you'll notice most scream "diversity, diversity"...but refuse to allow Christians the right to publically express their beliefs (like they get to do with their beliefs) like they are able to and get lawyers to jam them up in court (think ACLU...Anti Christian Lawyers Union)

In other words...they think everyone has the right to express their views...as long as you don't say anything about Jesus.

Most Christians that know anything about what God teaches in the Bible understands that you cannot force Jesus on anybody. You witness and if they don't want to talk about it, you walk away.

So, it's not Christians that are the problem when it comes to getting along with other religions...such as muzlims for instance, who publically advocate killing Christians and Jews.

Christians have the God given right to self defense, so we will and are fighting back against those that use violence against us

In the name of Universalism, many a soul will be damned. Universalism is the belief that all roads eventually lead to heaven, including atheism. All mankind will be saved no matter the path they follow. This cannot be further from the truth. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." I've met professed Christians who know of this eternal truth who continue to claim "to each his own" or "my way is not necessarily right for everyone" or "it's not my place to tell someone they are wrong in what they believe". My friend, you are in grave error!

No one comes to the Father but through Jesus because Jesus is the only mediator between God and mankind. I believe that many people look to God in time of trouble and sorrow never realizing that they must go through Christ in order for Him to hear them. But He hears them and helps them anyway. When I was a very young child I believed very strongly in God. I prayed to Him all the time, and I know He heard me because He answered many of my child like prayers. But I was a young adult before I finially realized Christ as my Saviour. I think that if He heard my prayers as a child He would certainly hear the the prayers of anyone else who does not really realize Christ's role in their salvation.

I am not a Universalist. I suppose that I could be termed as being an annihilationist, because I believe that there are some who will never be resurrected, as I believe there are a few who are called humans that are so thoroughly putrid and ruined that God has no further use for them. Some of the works of some of these ones are described in Job 24. And their ending is described in the 19th and 20th verses of that chapter.

An essential doctrine of Christianity is that absolutely no one can enter heaven except they go through the blood of Jesus Christ. God is holy and there will be no unrighteousness in heaven, therefore, the only way one can become righteous in His sight is by receiving the righteousness of Christ by the grace of God through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). This faith comes through trusting in Christ as Lord and Savior and repentance from yourself in turning to God in surrender. You cannot save yourself nor can you work for your salvation, which is the deception of all other religions.

But where is your scripture that says that this righteousness cannot be bestowed on them without their knowing it? I can show scripture that says that some who have not the laws of God do by nature the things contained in those laws, and that this is the work of the law which has been written in their hearts. I for one do not believe that God's grace in this matter is limited in any way.

To deny there is an eternal hell is to belittle the torment and excruciating death of the Savior. To deny these truths is to call God a liar.

I opine not! Preaching an eternal hell is to present a God who is more wicked and cruel than any of those who you say are going there. Not believing in an eternal hell is not belittling the excruciating death of our Savior either.

The same ACLU that has, um, defended Christians before? Shirley not!

Got any proof of this? I'd be interested in seeing some cases where the ACLU defended Christians.

The ACLU Fights for Christians

 

[KM Richards]

Sure funny how when it comes to well publicized cases...the ACLU is always against Christians having any rights....

But, apparently, they do the occasional small case in favor of a Christian. They prolly feel like it's good PR so they don't miss out on donations from a few ill-informed Christians

Hey, where'd the goalposts go?

 

[KM Richards]

Where's the list of the thousands of cases they
have OPPOSED Christians having any rights???

What are you complaining about? You said the ACLU didn't defend Christians. You were wrong.

And I think if you looked at the cases where Christians weren't the ones being defending, none of them were about Christians having NO rights. That's a tad melodramatic.

They've taken on thousands of cases, and have only taken just a few cases in defense of Christians having rights.

This is an undeniable fact...

Yes, you keep saying, and I'm not denying that - although I don't know for sure if that list I posted is a complete list of cases where the ACLU was defending Christians.

Either way, your insistent repetition of this fact doesn't prove they want Christians to have no rights.

I'll betcha as we go forward they will be taking fewer and fewer cases protecting Christians...if at ALL...
