There is always the but, for those that do not want to obey Christ. The Holy Spirit in them....there is no test or gauge for that. All we know is that the Holy Spirit is not going to tell people that it is ok to do drugs or to be LGBTQ or murder babies. Ways of getting around being good and...

Well first off, I would like to say that, leave it to Heart2Soul to take a perfect analogy of a knight as it reflects the Christian walk.... And turn it into the Faith of the Heart....LOL What a gal. On righteousness...Christians have a bit of issues with that concept. No one is...

Faith of the heart

Context of nature of God....that is so funny! It does not matter what denomination it is, you should reference the Bible about what is good and what good we should do. It is so simple....this supposed confusion seems somewhere between odd and dishonest. Christ said His yoke is easy and His...

Like I said there are varying degrees of Predestinationists. There are main stream denominations...that have a general belief in Predestination. God's ability to predestinate is documented in the Bible. So is His ability to impregnate a woman....but He is not going to impregnate all of them. It...

Telling the truth is always good. But as Paul found out, sometimes it can getcha in trouble. Now I can give you some advise. What is it in our nature that causes us to sin? Now the Jews don't believe in a devil, they do not believe that the devil tempts them....they agree with the sinful nature...

It is something about this forum. What denominations would you think have such fervent beliefs against being good and doing good. It is sad. Christians against good! Is that a motto that I have not heard of? I have been all over Europe, some in the Middle East, and the United States...up and...

Trash about Calvin. LOL His life's story.... His character..... The beliefs he wrote about.... How the denominations that are linked to His name have changed over the years... The differing sects of this belief system..... And basically where it all stands today, which is really the most...

Looking for something to criticize? LOL It is something about this forum. What denominations would you think have such fervent beliefs against being good and doing good. It is sad. Christians against good! Is that a motto that I have not heard of? I have been all over Europe, some in the Middle...

That is the point....Ya talk da talk but do ya walk da walk. We cannot earn our way to heaven, but we can do our way to hell. Good is great, but my point is that it is not hard. Pride....anything to criticize doing good. Protestantism has in a lot of ways has become a lazy man's religion...

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...
