Get over it, maybe a great idea to spend a little more time on your own life & relationships and less time seeking to correct others who dont agree with you.

One of the common characteristics of the religious spirit is always trying to correct people and straighten out their theology. Jesus told the pharisees that they strained out a gnat and swallowed a camel, meaning you've missed the point. Maybe this forum would be a nicer place if we all...

WOW, that's a pretty screwed up picture of a loving God, it says more about you and your concept of love than it does God.

What was the question that the Rich young ruler asked Jesus? "What must I do to inherit eternal life" Are you assuming that means heaven? Eternal life doesn't mean heaven. Could I suggest that you stop believing the doctrines of men. We will only understand what the Bible says when we understand...

In the end we all have to choose what it is we believe and if your happy with your position as I am then its all good.

Jesus said that "we will be known by the good fruit in our lives" NOT WHETHER OR NOT WE BELIEVE CORRECTLY. After the crucifixion the followers of Jesus believed many different things, as they still do. In the end do we really believe that Father God cares what we believe, do you think He's...

The Gospels are not eye witness accounts. Part of the book of Acts is. They are stories which was the Jewish way of writing things and never intended to be interpreted literally. The 1st Gospel was Mark who wasn't a follower of Jesus, so how is that an eye witness report. It is widely know...

So you dont agree, that's fine, but why all the hostility and inflammatory language.

Can I encourage you to watch the You Tube Movie "Hell Bound" watch it with an open heart and mind and you may find like me that you'll take a re think.

Its only since I saw the deception in literal thinking that my faith has grown leaps and bounds. A great book to read on the subject is: Biblical Literalism (A Gentile Heresy) by: John Spong A little more facts: When we turn from the Epistles to the earliest of the Gospels, that "according to...

The Bible as you know is 66 books written by fallen man. It contains, facts, stories, poetry and history. One has to remember that the Bible didn't fall from the sky in finished form, like Christianity it evolved and is still evolving. To correctly understand the Bible which I dont, one has to...

My faith isn't based on having correct doctrine, its based on a relationship I have with Father God. 'For I know in WHOM I have believed" NOT WHAT I BELIEVE.

The historical evidence is overwhelming that the first two chapters of Matthew and Luke are later additions by pagan Greek priests who grafted the "Virgin-birth" and "son of God" myths onto the simple, original records of the human-born Messiah who descended from his ancestor David.

I totally understand where your coming from. I was a fundamentalist and literal thinker/believer for over 20 years. All I did when people made statements that I disagreed with was send them pages of Bible verses to back up my position. The lights came for me when I started asking a different...

Please before you send me another page of Bible verses look at the facts. The Epistles make no mention of a Virgin Birth, and such comparatively few references as there are to the Messiah in these -- the earliest writings of our New Testament -- do not in any case support the doctrine of his...

Tony & Brenda. not sure I did.

I am frequently in Calgary [Link Removed]

6 months ago my 41 year life partner was diagnosed with breast cancer, 2 lumps. In the last 30 years of our faith journey we have seen many miracles including a child raised from the dead in Cameroon. So we had no doubt that God could and wanted to heal her. She had a strong sense that she...

Wandering in the wilderness, I like it, never thought about that but I believe your right.

I appreciate all the work you did in putting your post together, I may not agree, but your opinion is valid, because we should all be able to choose what it is we believe and not allow anyone to judge us.
