Just saying "a prayer" will not save you. If people honestly believe that repeating a set of words after someone will save them, then they believe in incantations...in short, witchcraft. If you say a prayer...one example is that of the 'sinners prayer', where you acknowledge how sinful you are...

Me? I haven't mention the RCC at all...that was you. Besides, that was not what I was strickly referring to...it was your rather insistent need to address the correct title for God that derailed the thread. Stop it please. And since you seem intent on mistaking me, here is the layout of what...

Actually, I never said I supported the doctrine of hell....but you are right...I do. Why? Because it is clearly is the bible. Jesus himself talks about hell more than anyone else does in the whole bible...you might want to consider why that is. Something else you need to consider.....you say...

Actually, if you will look back, your post #3 is what starts the whole "God/Gad" proper name of God thing, which escalates. Post #1 & 2 were on topic.

Wow, Mr....you are seriously confused. I'm very, very sorry you find the God of the bible a horrible, tormenting, evil monster...but that in itself shows how confused you are, and how badly you misread scripture. But apart from your obvious confusion and mistaken beliefs, I do have to wonder why...

I think it depends on how we approach these sensitive topics. A lot of topics may not be PC, but still very important in a biblical context, in regards to our lives. So, yeah, I'd say it's fine to bring up topics that others may find controversial (let's face it, there's always someone out there...

I follow Jesus because I love him...and because he has bought me with his blood. He is the only way out...from sin and death....where else would I go? Why would I want to go elsewhere??

Isreal, you have seriously hijacked this thread. Please return to the topic of the OP. Thank you.

Yeah, sorry, but I put absolutely no stock in a single thing above. I never claim the current denominations get everything right, but I suspect not even you could claim that about your 'movement'. But the central tenants of faith that I hold to...they come straight from scripture and are solidly...

Excuse me? Did you just call orthodox Christianity harlot?? You do realise that this IS an orthodox Christian board? Going around calling us harlots is not going to see you last here very long.

Um...yeah....I do know this...I'm not quite sure what in my post disagrees with this! Perhaps my only point of contention with the above is the 'heaven is within us'....sounds a little too new age for my liking. Yes, Christ is within us, and therefore the Kingdom of God is with us, in a sense...

The reason I cannot agree with UR is that there are so many passages in scripture that speak of punishment...eternal punishment at that, for those who scorn Christ. Passages that speak of how important it is to teach Christ NOW...to come to Christ NOW. Why on earth any of these things...

Ok. If you say that no true "Christian"...one born of water and Spirit, can sin again or lie...then do you claim those things about yourself? Do you never lie? Do you never sin? In thought, word or deed? (By the way...this is a trick question...if you answer 'never'...you've just lied...which is...

A very, very good point. Well, actually he's right. There are many, many people who take advantage of Government's attempts to help people. Take, for example where I live. I'm on a pension because I've got a Chronic Illness and just can't work/look after my family at the same time. But in my...

It's not Satan....but I rather imagine it would look more like this??

Well...I'd have to say this...Adam and Eve were able to be in the presence of God. We know from Paul's writings that they would have had to be incorruptible...sin free, to be able to do that. I think it all comes back to God's holiness...Adam and Eve would have had to fit His definition of...

If we see something that is just wrong...in other words it is probably leading people astray....then yes, I believe we do need to point it out. The problem comes, I think, when this rebuking is done as an example to show our own goodness. We need to be aware, honest and repentant of our own many...

I think there could be a fairly big difference between speculating about how we should live (meaning essentially ones' self!) and spouting off about how others should live.... But I would have to agree that I don't like others telling me how I should be living...I have God for that...His Holy...

I'm not exactly sure what angle you are coming from here....are you talking about what Aspen had to say, or about people who go around saying we must give up everything in order to be godly? Because...sure, I'd agree with you that mostly, people have no right to tell me what to do with my...
