Wow. Such a good likeness of him.

   ROFL! - You guys are killin' me.  

Did someone say "CHARGE!"

Nope, just "Onward Christian Soldiers".

Don't forget that they sometimes have multiple disguises.

I think they're multiplying!

Please...don't come here to Canada, we have enough nut cases here already.

ROFL  


This one isn't worth the time.

I am sorry but I don't really understand what is going on in this thread. Quite a few harsh words are going on but the questions asked are those that I wonder about, as well. I wonder about many things, that is why I hope to learn here.

I, too, wonder about salvation, though not necesarrily how the Protestant faith sees it but Christianity in general. As can be seen in my other threads and I also wonder if one needs to be baptized to be truely reborn.

I, too, wonder about things like people being so good in life going to hell because they may not have knowledge of Jesus or, like me, doubt from time to time, or wonder if they are worthy. The things going on in the world sometimes make it so hard to believe in a loving God, and in Jesus. Not because I feel that God should stop all the horrible things, but because I feel that people get so used to all the darkness and hatred and such that is around them, that something so good seems so hard to believe.

I admit I doubt, and don't know the answers to so many questions. I admit that sometimes I find my faith shakey because I fear I am doing things wrong in my faith so God and Jesus won't hear me, or sometimes even wonder if God does exist, though deep down I know He does..but still..(I hope I make some sort of sense).

And as for the Bible, I am ashamed to say that I can not make much sense of some of the quotes even, because of the way that they were written. How to find the right message when struggling with the words as they are? And there are so many different versions and translations of the Bible too, and people saying there are lost chapters, and what might they say?

All in all, Sleeker is not the only one with questions and doubts and simply not knowing things. I am sure many of us are looking for the truth, seeking knowledge. I know that I am.

Therefore I cannot understand the harsh words in this thread...

It is human nature to doubt things. Even Thomas, one of the 12 Apostles, doubted that Jesus arose from the dead and had to see with his own eyes and to actually feel of His wounds.

I agree with Bronzesnake that the best way to get your answers is one on one with a Bible believing Pastor at a Bible believeing church.

If you are not comfortable doing that or it just is not possible for you to do I would be glad to answer any of your questions that I can. If a person is honestly seeking answers, I am happy to help them find those answers in the Bible and to understand them.

He is not, but if he bases salvation on being a Christian who believes in Jesus as the Son of God, or to a harsher degree, only Protestants, and not being inherently good, then I've lost some (not most) respect of him.

Denominations (Protestant or elsewise) is not the key here. Denominations is something that man has come up with, teaching various doctrines and not necessarily the Doctrine of Jesus Christ. The Doctrine of Jesus Christ is what counts. No matter how hard we try we, while in the flesh, cannot be good enough to enter into heaven.

Rom 3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Gal 2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

I said before It takes more than just believing in you must also believe on.

Act 16:31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.


I hope and pray for your sake that your respect for Him increases and not decreases.

Finally, was there a tremendous statement made when the President and First Lady walked in the open air without the protection of the bullet-proof limo?

I thought the same thing when I saw that.

 

It isn't done yet? It isn't done yet? It isn't done yet?

Can ya tell I'm anxiously waiting?

 

Bronze. How about letting all of us know when it's done. I already believe in creation without having any more proof than that of the Bible  but I would still like to see what you have.

Which is it my confused friend? are you an evolutionist - a Mormon - or a Christian? There is only one truth, pick a side and go with it, get off the fence before your bum gets sore!  

 

Evangilist put it quite well in another thread. That fence will be turning into a sword.

 EYOUCH! Talk about a split personality!!

Those who are wize will get to the "bottom" of that remark.

I have only one question...what does EYOUCH mean?  

EYOUCH = It hurts pretty bad.  

[no exception]

I am not being ignorant. The truth is one of the questions you asked was about Salvation. A Christian would have known the answer because the answer is what it takes to become a Christian.

I was wondering about the finer points in the Protestant stance of salvation.  I got them.  The main thing I was wondering was if there is an exception to some non-Christians for salvation.  You said there was no exception.  I believe that's just discriminating against them, in fact, a form of bigotry in my opinion, and is used as a threat to try and convince conversion.

Anyways, I'm a Christian.  It's that simple.

I'm sorry that you feel that God is a bigot.

 

This was evident from the start. Christians wouldn't have asked  such questions. They would already know those answers.

All right, now you're just being ignorant and ignoring the facts.

Bronze,

Told you he wasn't a Christian.

energizerbunny,

Amen! I hope that you are not feeling as though her blood is on your hands. You say that you did witness to her. That puts it back in her hands.

Keep up the faith and the good works.

Praying for others to awaken.
