Lol on your “Christian only” take

[Lifelong_sinner]

When a parent uses some form of fear based punishment to curb their child's actions when they have done something wrong; it does not correct the child's bad behaviour. Rather it causes the child to learn better methods to hide their wrong behaviour.

sounds like rebellion.

Are you a true blue Christian? How do you know you are? How do you test your own faith so you can know if your are a fake believer or not?

Yes. The Bible defines a true Christian as one who has received Jesus Christ as Savior. (John 1:12; Romans 10:9,10; 1 John 5:11-13) A true Christian trusts in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the all sufficient means of their salvation. (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) A true Christian has received the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5; 8:9,16) and is a new creation in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Love is a characteristic of a true Christian. (1 John 3:10; 4:7)

Whatever you force on somebody will return to you as the opposite. If you force someone to do what you believe is good, then you will only get the bad in return.

That's it? That's how you know you are a true blue Christian.

What do you mean by that’s it? Do you consider what I explained to you from scripture as insignificant and insufficient?

and you have just explained why the majority of mankind will be cast into hell.

Insufficient.

No. I don't know how you got that idea.

 

[mailmandan]

Insufficient.

You sound like a troll.

 

[I.O.U]

You sound like a troll.

And you sound like someone who like's baiting people into a reaction you can use against them later.

 

[Lifelong_sinner]

No. I don't know how you got that idea.

do you think the majority of mankind will goto Heaven?
Do you think you have a choice when it comes to getting saved?

I don't know what your belief's are on that matter. So you tell me.

well i asked you first to see where you are with your theology.

 

[mailmandan]

And you sound like someone who like's baiting people into a reaction you can use against them later.

Just the opposite. You asked me a question and I gave you a solid, Biblical answer, then you called my answer “insufficient.”

 

[I.O.U]

well i asked you first to see where you are with your theology.

I don't have a theology.

It was insufficient. Then you resorted to name calling.

 

[Lifelong_sinner]

I don't have a theology.

i find that answer …. Confusing. Lets start back at the beginning, do you believe God exists? Do you believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God?

There might be a God. I do not believe the Bible to be inerrant in any sense.
