I know exactly what you mean! And you could not have picked a more descriptive name.

Well ya know, it was a good subject and I appreciate you starting the thread. But it comes to no surprise that you would put a little heart in it. I commend your spirit.

There are several levels of study....studying what they were preaching and their personal history. Like Martin Luther he did not have any intentions of starting denominations....his intent was to reform the Catholic Church and that did not go so well and then it all got away from him.

Oh ya, I use to have a library room but right now I am in transition.

Yes...John Calvin stuff is in storage...had enough of that. Have a few books on Augustine...his "works" The one I have right here is Confessions....The City of God....and on Christian doctrines. 698 pages. And the one I have here on Thomas Aquinas is called the Basic writings of Thomas Aquinas...

Well you put the pair together at least.....Calvin and Augustine were both seriously messed up. And then you have to include Thomas Aquinas...the three influenced Christianity in the most horrible ways. It is no secret that Calvinism got worse as it went along. Calvinism and the new social...

No there was no tangent or going off. I believe in charity. Most of what I said obvious went way over your head. Well it is true you can only worship one master. But if you look at the storyline Christ is taking exception with the rich when there are so many in need. The parable of the Sheep...

The armor of God is the confidence of faith. The confidence that God knows what we need and will see us through. The confidence that we can go on to do what we need to do. Salvation is secure....now turn to, and apply what we know to our life and share with others. Charge on with the...

Why do I say that it is not hard to be good? I think it applies to everyone. Granted I had a lot of advantages from the very beginning. I was very intelligent as a youth and the brawn to be confident and beat back the evil. But more than that I had the foundation of life set by Christ. When I...

Great scriptures but still you need to make your point....what are you trying to say or ask?

So I am still looking for a point here.

Ultimately it boils down to be good and do good the best you can. No part of salvation was contingent on us being perfect...it would have never worked....but it does require us to attempt to be good and do good. As far as wounding your weak fellow Christian see post 349 of this thread.

Thank you so much....good write up! Hang on to your hat! I will start with this....it is a reply to Lady @Heart2Soul in another thread. It is only as good as you can do. Be good and do good....the best you can. There are scriptures that throw people off. It is hard to educate people on the...

It is only as good as you can do. Be good and do good....the best you can. There are scriptures that throw people off. It is hard to educate people on the religious literary style of the time. Be righteous...no one is righteous...be perfects as your Father in heaven...no one is perfect...no one...

Well exactly...the doing good side of being good. Doing good for one another does not get you saved. And it does not get you to heaven. But according to the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, not doing good for one another can get you to hell.

LOL Who is going to remain sinless? Good Morning

Cool
