Simple by saying that only a 16 centuary set of texts and language are valid one is impling that other later translations are not valid and that we should use 16th centuary languade in worship. That makes it a sacred language, you won't have heard about it because it makes kj only sound silly.

I find it depressing that Christians so dispise the integrity and ability of Chriostian linguists, impling that they cannot accuratly interpret Gods word from Greek, Hebrew and other biblical languages into English using every available manuscript. The claim that God spoke to mankind via a...

Unfortuinetly I have been to a mass ans I would not discribe it as Christian.

No where else in the bible does God declare that the world is good. It is only found in the creation week, it is after this week that Adam rebelled and was judged by God and the arth was cursed. As the consquence of Adams sin was spiritual death, or separation from God and in time physical...

No a good deed covers nothing, it only shows who you love and serve.

What you haven't address are two things. Jesus's command that if you love me you will obey me and james's comment you have faith. but I thgrough my deeds show my faith. There is a fine line between living by faith and out of love and obedience doing good deeds/works and coming to depend on...

If that is why you are looking at those pictures YES. What did Jesus say in the sermon on the mount about adultery. He said 'if you look at a woman with lust in your thoughts you have committed adultery.'

It is a great question and one the church I attend has used when going door to door, it is almost as good as the tract we had printed, 'No thanks not interested.' Because that was a common reaction. What would I reply, the same as mjrhealth, Jesus paid my penalty and gave me his rightousness...

I don't dispute that God's judgement is perfect. I'm disputing that you believe Adam sinned on a day God had declared to be very good, or to put it another way, a day where there was nothing imperfect or sinful in it.

Acording to you you recieve a message from the Holy Spirit and you check that message against the bible. That means the bible is the Final authority.

Is the mass Christian? That is the whole idea behind this thread.

No Peter was not inspired by God to say those words but Matthew was inspired to report accuratly what happened. As I said if you know God the bible is alive, that you say it is dead is a comment by yourself on your own spiritual state.

Strange how God has used and still does use the preaching of words found in the bible to save and instruct non christians and Christians. How the reading of the bible has brought many people to a saving knowledge of Jesus. If you really knew the bible you would know that it talks about Jesus...

So according to you when Adamed sinned it was on a day that God had declared as being 'very good' Does your God, clearly not the God of the bible, say that rebellion against him is 'very good' See what the bible says:- Gen 1:31 .God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there...

If you think that Gods word is dead or that God is going to say something that he has not already said than you are moving out of Christianity into your own version of Christianity made in your imagination. Have you never read hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than...

I wasn't aware that fashion had anything todo with how we understand scripture? The methods we use are timeless, just like the message in the bible. Compare the above with what is below. If this quote is true then the first quote is false. I'll be blunt. God may give you a message, or you...

And what biblical verse are you quoting to support your assumptions?

Of the passages you quote only one talks about being baptised in water. I don't dismiss baptism, I think it is very important, but I also don't give it any powers. For me baptism is a step of obedience and of public witness that one is a Christian.

There is belief that there is a God, which the devil has and there is belief that Jesus is my saviour and the consquencal changes in behaviour that follow from such a belief. The devil believes but does nothing about that belief.

If I understand you correctly you are not talking about a final gospel but about the gospel. There is only one gospel and to talk about a'final' gospel will cause concern as people will think you are departing from the only gospel that there is. The good news that Jesus came to save sinners.
