    The Color of Righteousness

    I don't know why a Christian would be racist.

    Working to repent

    So there is different degrees of Christ-like behavior in each Christian. Does that mean that in order to increase Christ in me, I must work?

    Working to repent

    I think there is the collective sin of mankind because of the original sin, that Jesus-Christ paid for, but there is still individual sins of every human being, that we must pay for.

    Working to repent

    There is scriptural proof of purgatory, for example Jesus said: "Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly I say to you, you will never get out till you...

    Working to repent

    I understand that we can judge by the fruits. However, I think it's a mistake to condemn a criminal, who was a christian but committed a crime, and say they never really had faith. I think it's proof that we can have salvation, then lose it. We need to work to keep the faith. I also think...

    [can't discuss in non-Christian forum] If someone goes from being atheist to being agnostic, is that progress? (remember?)

    Even if God exists, it doesn't mean Christianity is true. If God exists, then we must presume Deism, then study religion to see if God revelated Himself.

    People in Hell are happy

    There are people who are not exposed to the gospel in some places (in saudi arabia, north korea,...) and in some times (entire civilizations : islamic, chinese, japan, isolated tribes, etc.). No angel or dream come to them. Even if the gospel reaches some people (through internet or else), it...

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    Do you believe in biological evolution? That Mankind is actually a species of ape? That all species come from fundamental forms that have evolved? (bacteria->fish->mammal...) That God directed somehow evolution? If you believe in evolution, how do you concile this scientific theory with the...

    Working to repent

    Do you deny the faith of person? If someone says they believe in Jesus-Christ, but later apostatize or commit a big sin, then it means they never really had faith? I think it's really judgemental. We can't judge the faith of people. Confessing the sin is an action. Then does that mean that...

    People in Hell are happy

    Who can deny without even knowing? Most people don't even know Jesus-Christ, or have never seen evidence of His existence. Does God trap people by punishing them for their ignorance?

    Working to repent

    The Son of God incarnated Himself and died on the cross to redeem people. Because of this sacrifice, Christians don't need to work to go to Heavens. However, what if a Christian truly believes in Jesus and gives Him his life, but later commits a big sin? Like adultery, grand theft, murder...

    People in Hell are happy

    So God predestined people to hell or heavens? Islam is a snare, yet they still worship God.

    People in Hell are happy

    Yes, I also believe God eventually finds people who truly seek Him. The Quran and the life of Muhammad definitely prove that Islam is a false religion, but most Muslims don't know. Muslims who know can have a distorted morality and believe that polygamy or cutting hands of thieves are actually...

    Can a christian be a buddhist?

    I agree with you. However, in Christian countries, most people have abandoned the faith and fallen into sin. If Christian nations had the religion of truth, why did they abandon it? Why did they go into wars with each other? (world war 1, world war 2... many wars between christian kingdoms in...

    People in Hell are happy

    I understand, but how can we distinguish and know the word of God? Muslim believe the Quran is the word of God, even if it's not. It is difficult to know the truth.

    People in Hell are happy

    The Holy Spirit can act in a man's heart, but it's certainly not universal, as we see many people not converting to Christ, through no fault of their own, because they simply don't know. Yes, I have been drawn to Christ for some reason, but I am also lucky to live in a country that is...

    People in Hell are happy

    I don't know how Islam was founded. It could be an evil spirit, but it's a hypothesis. Maybe it's simply human invention. Yes, I do agree that Islamic Paradise is materialistic pleasure ("houris" = heavenly prostitutes), even if it depends on the interpretation. The Lord Jesus-Christ did show...

    People in Hell are happy

    I do read the bible, I am reading both Old and New testaments and I am still reading them to finish them, but the Bible is very long and sometimes obscure

    People in Hell are happy

    but Muslims don't read the Bible, do your God punish them for that?

    People in Hell are happy

    I believe faith goes with reason and observations. If not, if faith is separated from reason, then Muslims believe in the Quran and we have no right to tell them they are wrong, because they believe that the Quran is from God. I believe in Jesus-Christ because He performed miracles. If He did...
