I read somewhere that carpentry was not Joseph's occupation, but instead general construction. Never stopped to really find out about this and I'm not saying it's correct. Just to say that I agree with you. I do know about the politics.... Even some words are changed. This is also why I don't...

Amigo.... Right. All good. But how about after we die? We will still have love. Will faith still be necessary? Will hope still be necessary? We will see God face to face, so why would we need faith or hope??

Ronald, I'd like to hear @mailmandan 's reply first. And then I'll give you my thought on this. It'll have to do with what we mean by FAITH.

Good response! :thumbsupx1 The 10 commandments are practiced, in one way or another, as a teaching of every religion. It is a teaching and not a tenet of the Christian religion. I sure do wish more persons would understand what defines a Christian.

You could believe that Jesus is not God. Just don't call yourself a CHRSITIAN. A CHRISTIAN MUST believe that Jesus is God. This is the NUMBER ONE TENET of the Christian religion.

Not talking about adding commands. You didn't reply to the question at hand ! Are JWs Christian? Are Mormons Christian? Why or why not? The reason I started this thread is because some are presenting themselves as CHRISTIAN but do not follow what actually makes a person CHRISTIAN...which...

Paul was a very intelligent man and one that could kill people over their religion is certainly not going to be a mild-mannered person - although I'm sure he changed after knowing Jesus. No riots today. Seems to me that everyone feels they have the right and authority to just put any definition...

Hi rvmb Thanks for clarifying. It seemed, from the title, that this was going to be about soteriology, which is an important topic for me. Instead, I think what you're saying is that there are two different gospels. I do believe that Paul was sent to the Jews and Peter to the Gentiles,,, but I...

The Jehova Witnesses follow Jesus and His commands. The Mormons follow Jesus and His commands. Are they of the Christian religion?

That's doing your work for you. Unless I'm mistaken, we don't have all different bibles but only one. Whatever version it is. Mentioning a verse is not posting it. It's your thread. Do what you think best. Also this is soteriology. It should be under Theology.

How about posting the scripture??

Nothing to add. Agreed. Thanks!

OK Yes. Some do agree with you. Let's see if anyone else cares to weigh in. Thanks!

Thanks Healthy Right. I find it complicated and would like to know what others believe. I think I said that to my understanding, Faith and hope will no longer be necessary in heaven. Or maybe Paul meant it a different way? IOW we will still have faith in the sense that we will be trusting of God.

So by WHOM were the manuscripts assembled? (call them what you will-the incorrect term you used is of no consequence to the topic) Were ONLY those of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John circulating? Did some determination have to made as to which books would be included in the CANON os Scripture...

What do you mean by WHAT BOOK? WHAT BOOk was around in the first century? NONE. Letters were circulating and those that FOLLOWED the Apostles,,, IOW, the Apostolic Fathers were writing and teaching. A NT did not always exist. It's the Apostolic Fathers that established canon and decided...

Wow. 35 views and no replies !! Someone MUST know about 1 Cor 13:13 Come on peeps....I really would like some answers. RHS

too funny. What is rather acutally hillarious is that YOU are using the bible that those of the CREEDS compiled. But you don't trust those of the creeds or the Apostolic Fathers. too funny, were it not so sad. You don't even understand where your faith/religion comes from.

Doesn't matter if there were other humans around or not. Not sure this is what you mean. God created a Garden. He placed the REPRESENTTIVE of humanity in it. Adam failed the test. This is all that matters.

Faith, Hope and Love are spoken of by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. Are they forever? Or does only love last forever? Why would we need faith and hope in heaven? Or do we?? If I understand faith and hope correctly, it seems to me that they will not be needed in heaven since we will...
