And who decides this?

Christianity in this life is a means...and only a means.

I see that you're from Norway and have made through the doorway if you only speak in verse we'll go from bad to worse ;)

This is true. Jesus Christ provides the purity...no spot or wrinkle. The trials produce maturity....so we are learning to better hold onto the purity through trials that produce a maturity. It is in this regard (maturity) that we are striving to attain the full stature (in maturity growth) of...

Maybe there should be 200 versions of the bible in every language! ;) It is hard to say...but a living bible is prone to change the expressions that were understandable in an ancient time into more modern ones in order to get the meassage across. So yes, as long as one states that it is an...

A human position will always seek to void some scriptures in order to uphold the few scriptures that seem to back up their point. Regeneration of the Spirit is the first step in a process that leads to a full maturity in Christ. So then salvation is both an event and a process...

Mary is referred to as God's handmaid...Jesus Himself as Son of His handmaid. Psa_116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. But no reference to mother....

..or woman...;)

The treasure is Christ. We forsake all in order to win Christ. The reverse is also true...but is a fact that should actually encourage us to follow suit....not detract us from this pursuit. I am my beloved and my beloved is mine...

We are to be a light in ALL the world...there is actually more spiritual darkness here than in developing countries. Are you arguing for more darkness or light?

We see so much of this syncretism of patriotism and (add religion) in the western world.

Besides the wacko doctrines...they are usually fine young men. We got very friendly with a group of 3 some years ago. They ended up sending for their bishop...who then was afraid for the religious safety of the young men...so he forbade them from visiting us again....they were being converted. ;)

We re now certain that Jesus was in fact a man...beard or not! :)

We are not concerned so much with individual sins as the whole body of sin. One does not prune a bad tree...one cuts it down. So the old man needs to be pinned to the wall so as to provide one to walk freely in Christ. The answer is the cross that makes the old nature ineffectual by being pinned...

Try this... 1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. <_< A sect is any group that divides over a preference for "a truth" they are championing. All denominations are sects. Otherwise it would be God's will that the church is...

This is a romantic idea not a biblical one. The bible should not be used for a human inspiration.

1Th_5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Ok C.U. :) Dialogue is always helpful.

that is unless the times when Jesus is carrying us teaches us something... Act_4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. How can you have a...

...if you think you're the Publican in the parable of the publican...;)
