Can a Buddhist be a Christian? :IDK:

Hi, Fran. It's nice to hear from you again. :waves:

Just what is the Canadian government thinking? You don't run ads of a former US president contradicting the current US President's trade policy in the middle of negotiations. :quitit

Well, that's probably good then. Most Christies movies are terrible. The low budget ones, I mean. I'll check it out. There aren't many good movies these days. Goodnight, Matthias.

Hmm... can't say that I have.

Really? I thought they would be indifferent to it. It's the "world", right? Who cares why they do what they do? They're damned and we're saved. You never can tell. Men's hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature. Yeah, but the lyrics are a window of the darker parts of the human...

I would wonder why they didn't object to the music being played. How many of them actually enjoyed it? They probably wouldn't have told you. Things like that are kept secret.

I agree, there is. I think that sounds wise. But then, what does it tell us? If a man listens to satanic music, but also gospel music, what does it mean?

Do you think that's true? What if a man listens to more than one genre?

I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan. :gd

Nah, but I heard a Catholic once say they're not going to heaven. :confused

I hear Catholics get to drink a lot of wine.

That's not a bad idea. My main experience was with an evangelical nondenominational church. The music was bad and most of the people seemed inauthentic. I actually got to speak once to the youth group. The pastor was interested in my thoughts on a few subjects. It was fun. I learned that I...

I have in the past. They don't know what to do about it. You either feel comfortable in that setting or you don't. For those that don't, there's the road. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. You meet new people, you spread the good news.

Not at all. But a man can learn. I agree. But it offers the most freedom in a world that wants you to adhere to denominational rules. I feel very uncomfortable in church settings.

Maybe I won't settle for any denomination. If scripture is the final authority, why do I need somebody else telling me what is? There's something romantic about being the lone Christian, anyway. The drifter. Mysterious. The one without a flock. I kinda dig it. :funlaugh2

But what is a "sinful life"? And who gets to determine what it is? Some people think even having one beer means you're living in sin, while others think it's fine in moderation.

Becoming a Christian doesn't make someone without sin. They aren't going to live a perfect life. I've seen people try to do that. They're usually the ones that fall the hardest.
