    It's okay, but I never hammer people that profess belief in Jesus Christ and the resurrection, I'm actually forbidden from doing that. Unfortunately it seems a little like some folks on this site are believing in anoher Jesus that lies, confuses, and is nothing like His Father, but false...

    The Trinity definition

    Actually Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law and the Apostle Paul wrote at least two epistles explaining why real Christians are not under the law. Why don't you read and believe the bible ? Do you hate God that much? I'm not a teacher or an apologist though I have taught a little in one...

    Duh, the people you mention are all born again Christians with New "hearts". The scriptures never contradict themselves and the only apparent errors are copy errors (they were copied by hand and some hebrew characters differ from each other by a single pen stroke.) The scribes took great care...

    The responses to posts typically include the post that you're responding to above the response so unless you're trolling under the screen name jaybird, no.

    The problem is your reading comprehension and unbelief in the scripture.

    You really don't know a bit of sound doctrine, do you? I'm familiar with crowley, and guess what, do what thou will is not the royal commandment. Okay let's start the remedial class for Christian wannabes (if you don't know what remedial means, that's the "slow" class.) It is impossible for...

    Yes, but the word of God is settled in heaven and God does not change.

    I think that you're referring to modern marriage. Most cultures including the ancient Jews arranged marriages as contracts or covenants. Ideally this would be with someone that you knew and cared for, but love was never a requirement. In the case of ancient Judaism, marriage was a covenant with...

    Polygamy: the historical stuff was sin and carnality, even when it was men like King David and Solomon, though it doesn't quite break marriage as a type of the relationship between Christ and his church, but New Testament scripture is explicit in the one man, one woman requirements for church...

    I like your attitude, but baptism, at least water baptism, isn't a ritual in the traditional sense of that word, but superstition makes it that. Water baptism as described in scripture is a physical profession of faith and identification with Christ in His death and resurrection to new life. It...

    Thank you for the explanation. Having been raised as a Catholic I completely understand pointless ritual and useless tradition, it's called " religious practice", but does absolutely nothing in establishing a relationship with God. Salvation is by relationship with God, not by magic and ritual...

    So you have an actual priesthood. That explains a lot.

    It sounds like you're entirely unfamiliar with sound doctrine, but yes YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO BE BORN AGAIN. Did you assist your mother when she gave birth to you? Christ would never have used the term "born" if you had anything to do with it other than being there. That change in...

    If you say that you believe in Christ's divinity, I believe you because scripture tells me to. If you also believe in His resurrection then scripture informs me that you shall be saved. I only have 2 questions about the LDS. 1 Why do you have temples which exclude nonmembers when the scripture...

    Ok fine. As I said, I don't really know what to make of the LDS, but I'm reasonably confident that there is no angel Maroni, nor do I believe for a second that the resurrected Christ ever visited the Americas, (that actually contradicts scripture) though an Apostle or later disciple certainly...

    Absolutely. There are admonitions against changing the word of God in the law and specific curses regarding changing the content of the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

    The Jehovah's witnesses, just like the muslims, are taught that generally accepted versions of scripture have been corrupted. They use the New World Version which is a translation made by their elders, none of which were even qualified as translators of ancient Hebrew and the common Greek that...

    The Trinity definition

    Pretty sure that you're reading into the 2nd great commandment something which isn't there. Theologians call that isogesis. When the Apostle Paul wished that the judaisers cut off their genitalia, was the man who wrote the bulk of the new testament being unchristian? Furthermore, I don't know...

    Dead in Sin !

    More hogwash. Carnality at best, deception at worst. You don't reconcile scripture with a fallen world under a curse, that's self justifying, but if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He is risen from the dead you shall be saved.

    Yes, but I'm not concerned for myself. I wasn't born again of His Spirit until I was 39 years old, but I've read scripture since I was a child and I'm probably a bit more familiar with it than most babes in Christ. At one time I did my absolute best to make cultists look like idiots, just so...
