So I'm beginning to seriously wonder why you are so opposed to the gospel being preached? You said yourself tat the definition of harassment includes returning "without a purpose". Reading @ReChoired posts throughout the forum here tells me that his posts are all Christ centered, Biblically...

It was the fall of the empire that gave rise to Catholicism. If pagan Rome protected anything, it was apostasy. "And the dragon (pagan Rome) that gave the beast (Papal Rome) its throne, its power and authority". Revelation 13. Christianity had spread to throughout the empire it is true, well...

@Grailhunter not only do you have a grave misapprehension of God's character with regards His so called violent behavior, you also are now proposing that He is willing to transgress His own principles in order to advance His church.

No, only in Rome and immediate areas. Christianity was thriving without Rome in either of it's forms, and in places neither could reach. Christ brought His own church into apostasy and spiritual adultery in order to survive? That's the best He could do? You forget that it was the persecutions...

I think the violence and non pacifism of medieval Christianity raises more, and sadly has a great deal more impact on modem day Christians who misrepresent the character of God.

KJV Matthew 26:52-53 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

It wasn't a compliment."shall we call upon God to rain fire down and destroy them"?. Said Jesus, "you do not know of what spirit you are".

The name"God" is certainly interwoven throughout American society. But I suggest it is no more genuinely a part of the personal lives of Americans today than He was for those in Israel during the reign of Ahab. There are today numerous competing gods vying for attention, and from what I observe...

I knew there was a good substantive reason I liked you. An honest man with an unbiased view of reality. And yet despite all the flaws and all the wickedness that emanated from within this "experiment", God used it for His purposes. Bringing His people from a continent of darkness and...

I don't doubt for a moment that's what you believe. But so does everyone else on this forum, including me. And I doubt very much if there's more than two people who agree completely on any set of five principle doctrines. And I would suggest that none of us could sit down and write a thesis on...

Your completely intolerant attitude toward others who don't share your opinion on what constitutes the nature of the Godhead, remembering that your opinion, based on the creeds, is only an assumption and not found in scripture. It even contradicts the atonement as I explained previously.

Armageddon if understood correctly is not a battle between nations, not is it a battle between God and humans. It's a battle between God's people and the rest of the world. And God's people are not armed with guns and knives fighting off hordes of atheist barbarian globalist socialist left wing...

God will do what He needs to in order to protect the integrity of His kingdom and His laws. He will do so with mercy and grace... No-one will suffer unnecessarily, not one judgement will be made arbitrarily, and love will be the guiding principle undergirding everything.

Nonsense. Being judged by our works is not the same as attempting to be saved by them. We all know we can't be saved, that is justified, by works. We can't be saved or justified by obedience to the law. Everyone knows that... The scriptures declare it loudly and clearly, and the protestant...

That's what I was saying. False equivalence. You are making two unrelated principles mean the same thing. Attempting to earn ones way to heaven through "works" is a very different kettle of fish from obedience wrought as a result of the gracious work and power of God in ones life. No argument...

Lol. What does scripture say? Answer. We are saved by grace through faith. What does scripture say? Answer. We are judged by our works. Why do you ask if we are saved by our works?

Don't know how it happened, but those quotes attributed to me aren't mine. I haven't contributed to that particular thread.

Can you explain how anyone can "work their way to heaven" while resting on the Sabbath? Perhaps you might also explain how one can make Christ Himself his Sabbath rest, when Christ Himself blessed, sanctified, and made holy a specific day to signify not just His rest, but a deliberate devotion...

I accept your criticism. I had read the thread right through and contributed previously, so I wasn't posting from ignorance, but perhaps you are right in that I was being harsh in relation to this particular thread. My comments however in general regarding the issues surrounding...

It's got nothing to do with whether they are Jehovah's witnesses or not. We aren't judged by what we believe. We aren't judged by the doctrines we subscribe to. We are judged by our works. And I could cite numerous passages of scripture which inform us clearly as to what works are acceptable and...
