Re: False Religions And Cults

I sure hope it's temporary!

The thing is that if she was so easily persuaded by a knock on the door from Russellite heretics, popularly known as JW's, and whether or not she booked in for the 5-evenings-a-week brainwashing what will happen if the hip-hoppers turn up recommending she dub some psalms or thrash Deuteronomy? Or for all I know the Upanishads or ravings of Confucius?

The next time you see her she could be anything! That's why prayer is so important. But unless you're a Christian, those prayers are useless The Bible explains. Jesus does not love us "just the way we are" because God is Jesus and He finds us revolting in our fallen condition. That's why it's necessary to torture us forever UNLESS we accept the price He paid to set us free from sin.

Not attending any Church contradicts what God has told us to do:

Hebrews 10:24-29 Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

False religions teach all sorts of rubbish, play "Christian rock music" (obviously there's no such thing) or even celebrate demonic festivals in the guise of cultural enrichment. Cults are narrower, the JW's being a good example, and yet even from inside so stifling a congregation people have been rescued.

It doesn't matter, God loves us all. We will ALL go to Heaven and see the truth then.

Re: False Religions And Cults

The reason why we're here is for God to implement His Plan. If everyone went to Heaven for no particular reason why would God have chosen some but rejected others? We can be certain of this because those who reject The Truth and take pleasure in unrighteousness are damned. God explains it this way:

II Thessalonians 2:12-14 They all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen.you.to.salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The sin of being deceived resulted in every baby ever born deserving torture. Not torture LIGHT as may be expected over in Syria or at the hands of the gestapo but proper torture with no remission and no end in sight. Ever. Anguish, pain, grief and despair from day one with day two infinitely worse and every day ever worse forever. God chose some to be Redeemed.

If that applied to everyone, what would be the point of the earth?

Re: False Religions And Cults

Sometimes I fret over the ignorance coming from secular education. No sooner had I shared the Scripture

II Thessalonians 2:12a They all might be damned who believed not the truth..

which seems pretty unambiguous (groups comprising 0 persons are never referred to as "They all..") than right there in the very next post we got:

Whether that's a made up "god" such as Neptune or Tekkeitsertok I don't know but what's certain is that those who reject The Truth will be damned by actual. God as He has explained for us in The Bible.

There is no other source presenting God's Perfect Love or describing how the Plan For Salvation has been revealed through history and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. There are. plenty of false doctrines but obviously they do not contain any truth so accepting them is the same as rejecting God. That's how we know that false religions and cults exist. Most people will not make it to Heaven.

Matthew 7:13b-15a Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Got a problem with what the Bible says, boy? It's hard to pick an actual meaning or point out of all those logic fails.

Re: False Religions Register

Dear sinner,
Actually, Baptist does not rhyme with "rapist". Let us look at the pronunciations:

• Baptist - IPA: /bapˈtɪst/
• Rapist - IPA: /ɹˈe͡ɪpɪst/

As you can now see, the vowels are totally different, and in the middle of the word "Baptist" has "pt" while "rapist" has only a "p". The differences in the phonetic values of the vowels are caused by, e.g., the great vowel shift that occurred just around the time of King James and is one of the things that finally evolved peasant English into the civilized and Godly American tongue. If you look at some of the most expressive and elegant phrases of the American language, you'll know what I mean, such as the timeless "You're fired!".

Hebrews 12:28
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

All this makes our pastors and Church Godly and you seriously need to educate yourself.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: False Religions And Cults

"Cause" is a really big word there Toadstone, and there's a big difference between "correlated" and "cause"....
People who moderately drink wine may have other lifestyle factors that are not controlled for in a study that increase the risk - but it may have nothing to do with the wine. Cause and effect are always tenuous with these studies because we don't know the mechanism by which wine "causes" cancer - so there is no hard and fast "proof".

Yes it is true, as has been discussed many times. After a correlation has been found, further investigation is needed to determine whether or not there is a causal relation. All of this is studied in detail in many places; for example:
Causal inference in Statistics: A Primer by Judea Pearl, et. al.
An introduction to Causal Inference by Judea Pearl, et. al.
Causality, Models, reasoning and Inference by Judea Pearl, et. al.
Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent systems - Networks of Plausible Inference by Judea Pearl
The Book of Why - The New Science of Cause and effect By judea Pearl, et. al. BTW, this book has won the Turing award.
A Probabilistic theory of causality, by Suppes, P.
How the laws of physics lie by Cartwright, N.
Causal inference in nonexperimental Research by H. Blalock,Jr.
Correlation and Causation, by S. Wright
and many others.BTW, the name is Tomdstone. As a bible fearing Christian, you should learn to call people by their correct name and not mock them by addressing them with a silly name. That is, if you are really a Bible fearing Christian.

Drinking red wine may be correlated with some health benefits, but it does not prove that drinking red wine causes health benefits. Further, drinking red wine is correlated with an increase in certain types of cancer.
