New Davey and Goliath

Quoted from Canadian, "non-Christians may reject the Trinity, but that doesn't mean they don't worship God."

Your statement above equates to the notion that you could throw away the meat and bun and still have a hot dog. It is simply impossible. God IS the Trinity. If you reject the Trinity, you reject God. It is that simple. Judaism and Islam reject the Trinity. They reject the Second Person of the Trinity. They therefore reject God. Period. Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." It doesn't get any plainer than that.

For a Christian Church to even imply that it is possible for non-Christians to worship, pray, or even know God is heretical. They need to be told about Jesus. They need toi hear the Gospel. This idea that they can know God apart from faith in Christ does a severe injustice to them. It gives them a false hope in salvation, that salvation can exist apart from faith in Christ. Christians know better than that!

Quoted from KagomeShuko in an earlier post, "Just because they don't recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah, they don't worship the one true God???"

Exactly. Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." How can anyone know or worship the One True God when they reject the only means to Him?


"What were Abraham, Moses, Joshua, etc.? You completely disregard them now just because you are Christian?"

The religion of the Old Testament is not Judaism. Abraham, Moses, etc. were not Jews, they were Israelites. The God they worshipped was indeed the One True God. Their faith was not in the person of Christ, but in the promise of Christ. Abraham's faith in that promise is clearly demonstrated in his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac, the very one through whom that promise would be fulfilled. "It was crdited to him as righteousness."

We used to watch Davey and Goliath years ago. It is sad they appear to think there is a need to be "politically correct," but has anyone wondered if they are doing so in order to get Davey and Goliath back on the air? If they were purely Christian in their approach, it probably wouldn't get aired. I agree it should be watched before passing judgment on it. If it is strongly "politically correct" then ELCA would need all of our prayers.
