    What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal?

    What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal? The gospel and the New Testament narrative unravel when these things aren't literal. - The geologies are meaningless. (or in serious error) - Who wrote the Books of Moses? (and when) - If Adam wasn't a literal human then he...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Like human relationships, the knowing comes from a continued relationship. [

    Plundering my religious upbringing - The desert island question

    While composing a response post on another thread (obviously) it occurred to me the benefits I received from my religious upbringing. I spend plenty of time talking against it now, but only occasionally speak to the benefits. Others may have taken a similar path. Started in one place and...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    I would say that means knowing Him in a RELATIONSHIP, not knowing ABOUT Him intellectually. (theologically) Again, the faith of a little child is enough. [

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Which means it cannot be a requirement for salvation, correct? [

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    One 2 question said: My spiritual food that nourishes my spirit is still the same, every word that proceeds from my Parent in heaven. In the early years it came through the bibles (milk). Ever since then His life giving words have come through various means, rarely the bible...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    In my view, salvation is many-faceted. It begins with the atonement and ends in the afterlife. The Elect are enjoined here, the rest come later. "each in turn..." 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 NIV For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the...

    Bible knowledge for life quiz - Closed book test

    Okay, without looking up answers in the Bible or online... answer these real life situations with biblical answers from memory. (extra points if you include the references) But not necessary. What scriptures come to mind when you read these real life situations. 1) You just lost your job...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    That means that the will of humankind can supplant the will of God that all should be saved. It's not His will that any should perish. He will see to it that all come to salvation. IMHO Philippians 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    St. SteVen said: Are you saying that we can't be saved by a stranger? Who really knows God completely anyway? Knowing COMPLETELY "the only true God, and Jesus Christ" is certainly not a requirement for a renewed relationship with God. (salvation) I think the need to...
