[QUOTE="joey_downunder, post: 58531152, member: 242214"] Yes that is an unfortunate common practice of many christians. That is why it is so important to compare what christians say with what the Bible actually says in context. They also have several controversial views on minor parts of christian doctrine in other sections of that massive website. Overall their material is very good though, especially the discernment material. Remember the all-important rule of thumb: The Bible ALWAYS outranks christian writings no matter how eloquent or well-educated the writer may be. [I]If in doubt throw it out.[/I] Yes I thought it might have that affect on you. Didn't you want to have some sense of conviction of sin? Do you really need to be reminded to approach words that imply feelings to substitute thinking or choosing in your case instead? e.g. Have you [I]thought[/I] sorrow or remorse for sinning against God? Have you [I]thought[/I] love towards God in thanks for sending Jesus to die in your place? [URL="http://www.esvbible.org/search/romans+5%3A6-11/"]romans 5:6-11/[/URL] Have you forgotten being shown the original meaning of "metanoia" as actually meaning "change of mind" not "feelings of remorse or penance" already? If you were/are a christian you did/do have a relationship with God. It doesn't matter with it is part of [I]your[/I] agenda or not[I]. If God has promised us such things that is what matters, whether in this life or the next.[/I] Do you believe that? The [I]Truth[/I] will you hope. Keep your eyes on Jesus. [/QUOTE]
