Agreed. (They do admit that they don't know what consciousness is.) Science knows nothing of how life began. They know it takes some chemicals....but they can't even make proteins...or maybe something else. IOW,,,,they can't even BEGIN to understand what SPARKED life. There are different...

Of course the above is all good. What I was doing was narrowing it down to ONE VERSE so MAYBE the other member would reply. But it seems I never get really good replies. It's usually someone telling me how I misunderstand Calvinism...or how badly I exegete scripture, or how I don't understand...

Lots here S. Will have to reply later on. I'm not against trans persons. I'm against DOCTORS that MUTILATE minors because of whatever reason they may have. The Nazis were better .... at least they knew they were doing something WRONG. These doctors believe they're doing someone a service by...

All OK. Keep in touch.

I can't think of a heresy that the AofG church teaches. Can't think of a heresy that the Nazarene church teaches. Can you? I'm sure there are others...I'm not going to make a list. As when you say "You hold to at least one as well".... do you mean ME personally or do you mean YOU used in general?

Well you won't get any grief from me. I'm not denying that hell exists. What I'm saying is that it's not a good method of witnessing. Although it might work for a select few....but not in general. It will tend to turn persons away from God. But you seem to be like the other member.... Do you...

OK Jack. I believe the bible speaks of fear in the sense of having respect for God. Fear is being afraid. Being afraid is a physical condition besides being a psychological condition. I believe we're to be afraid of satan. Jesus taught that we are to Love God.... We're a family. Family members...

The church has multiple purposes. 1. Teach what Jesus wanted us to know. 2. Expand the Kingdom of God on earth as Jesus taught. (when He taught in Matthew 5, 6 and 7 ... The beatitudes. 3. Teach men how to become born again as Jesus stated in John 3:5 4. Help to keep the believers as a...

Could it be both? A fundamentalist....believing every single word in the OT would believe that he could handle poisonous snakes with no consequence. But,. yes, a liberal does taunt God with their own ideas. But I think the video goes more to the fundamentalist "camp". Liberal would be more...

Agreed on the political definition. Agreed. A a couple of members here have expressed the idea that a person CANNOT be liberal and Christian at the same time. I do believe this is correct if we describe liberal as you have PLUS add on to it social/moral beliefs which would be accepting...

Thanks Wrangler. I think we have the definiton of a fundamentalist Christian and you're confirming it once again above: "A LITERAL INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE". That leaves conservative and liberal. You say they're political references. OK Should they be eliminated as definitions? In...

See my post no. 17. Not EVERYTHING that has happened is in the bible. Guess YOU are a fundamentalist Christian?

Agreed. The bible is not a history book. But science tells us that the universe is billions of years old, about 15, and the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Geology could confirm the age somewhat. I firmly believe that we have to stop pitting science against religion. Our youth is very...

Wait Stash. In thinking about this and reading some replies... it seems as though, perhaps, a liberal Christian cannot really exist. If by liberal we mean a person that defines themselves as Christian but whose ideology believe in gay marriage, abortion, divorce, mutilation of a body for trans...

This is also for @Dan Clarkston ..... You're both right. There can be no such thing as a liberal Christian (although some define themselves as such). Because they'd have to believe in ideology that is not biblical. IE...abortion, divorce, gay marriage, etc. That leaves Conservative and...

Just another brick in the wall.

Not a good way to witness. But it may be what some need....who knows.

Why so much talk about hell? We're not supposed to be Christian because of fear of hell, but because we want to spend eternity with God. I believe hell exists....I believe it's the separation from God, the Life Giver. Other than that, we can't be sure what it is but that there will be weeping...

Does that make you a liberal Christian? I don't think so. I'm not trying to put labels on persons. Personally, I believe the earth is billions of years old. 4.5 to be exact. But I also don't believe I'm a liberal Christian. Maybe more will reply to get to a good answer.... maybe not. We'll see.

You know Ronald Nolette.... Romans 9 is all you have. Unfortunately for you and those that believe as you do, Romans 9 is speaking of corporate salvation. It's speaking about ISRAEL and not about individual salvation. I'm always willing to discuss Romans 9,,,which I also did with another...
