    What Does Forgiveness Look Like in Practice?

    One does not approach God unless one is humble enough to accept his help/healing etc. Ever wondered why Jesus could not do miracles in Nazeruth? The theology of forgiveness as you say is not built on one verse, but on the whole teaching of the bible, but one's theology has to account for...

    God is "God", by faith (considering?)

    Whether one has faith, whether one believes or not, God is still God. Our belief or faith has nothing to do with God's existence.

    What Does Forgiveness Look Like in Practice?

    Forgiveness is shown to us by how God and Jesus forgive. Before God or Jesus forgives us there has to be repentance, then there is forgiveness. This is a hard thing to understand. All through the bible in the old testament the Jews would sin and to gain ritual forgiveness they would go to the...

    The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."

    If it is up to the individual to decide there can never be doctrinal unity and even Spiritual unity will be difficult as some will stress of first importance what other classify as unimportant or not Christian. I deliberately quoted some non christian doctrines and you said it is for the...

    Are christians justified by faith only?

    You have denounce that people are saved by faith, as Christians are save by faith in Jesus, it follows that you have denounced saving faith in Jesus. As I asked in my first reply to you, in post number 5, How are people saved?

    The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."

    As Paul wrote to the philippians Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather in humility value others above yourself, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.

    The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."

    Then what doctrine would you say is of first importance? What is of secondary importance? What is of third importance? What is of no importance? Do we all have to accept the assumption of Mary, the physical body of God, that Jesus is merely a God, that only true...

    Finally working up the courage to ask a question that deeply distresses me

    No where are we commanded to have ' blind faith ' as Hebrews 11:1 says, Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Faith is based on facts, it is the atheist who has blind faith, the Christian knows there is a God, can demonstrate the reasonability of the...

    Are christians justified by faith only?

    Could you clarify please. How are people saved? You've said what they are not saved by, that is, they are not saved by faith in Jesus. So what does save them?

    what counts as a idol ?

    Anything that is more important than God. God knows we get absorbed by work, hobbies, wife's and children etc. But we have to be aware of what stops us worshipping and serving God.

    your life story is not a death sentence but the lord god and jesus good are standards all must follow what i consider in my eyes.

    Jesus came that we might have life and have it to the full. John10:10 It is only in following Jesus that we can truly live, both here and now, as well as in the life to come.

    God is "God", by faith (considering?)

    The idea that God is. As well as the reality that God is our creator. Col 1:16 For in Him all things were created.... All things were created through Him and for Him. John1:3 Through Him all things were made and nothing was made without Him. As Creator God has the right to set the rules by...

    The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."

    Where does it say that God only speaks to a " priesthood " ? What is meant by ' unity '? Is it only one physical organisation or could it be like God is, a spiritual unity? What is it that separates Christians fro each other, is it not traditions and man made ideas.

    THE BIG QURAN THREAD i will be quoting verses. ( funny )

    The quran says that the bible is the word of God, yet the quran denies what the bible teaches. So the quran cannot be from God.

    How to get God to use you.

    Get involved, be regular in attending your local church, be involved in activities of any sort. Learn what and why you believe and seek to talk about it. Any church with a desire to reach others will welcome an extra helper and will quickly see that this person is more than just a mover of...

    Practical Tips for Maintaining Your Faith in a Secular Society

    A generally good blog, I would comment on two aspects. It recommended reading spiritual texts. I would change that to reading Christian books, blogs and Web sites. A ' spiritual ' article that is not Christian will do harm despite being ' spiritual ', what Spirit is it looking too. I would...

    Would you breed your dog, have 8 puppies, keep 2 and then dump the rest in the middle of nowhere?

    Then why do you repeatedly post your nonsense a out God torturing peop,e if you believe it won't happen?
