    People of other religions are evil and should not be listened to. They should listen to US, because we are correct.

      Yes, exactly. We who are saved are Christ's slaves:

      1 Cor. 7:22: For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.

          You should be HAPPY to be a slave to God!


          Romans 6:16Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. 18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. 20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

            Well thank you for explaining those fundamentals to me, I'm off to enjoy this life as it would appear the none of the options in the next are all that appealing. As for being happy to be a slave, a life however long lived for someone else is a life unlived.

                Do you know the difference between the three major schools of Buddhism?

                I'm guessing not. Two of them are most definitely religions.
                That is correct! Buddhism CAN be a religion, but it doesn't have to be one. You can meditate and follow the Buddhist path but still be a Christian. Or a follower of nearly any other religion.

                  Oh that is quite funny friend. You believe in a book written by some guy living in a desert that talk to an invisible man no one can see and you dare call us TRUE Christians silly? Well listen here friend, unlike you Pastarapharians we TRUE Christians(tm) have NO doubt about God existence. We know God is as REAL as the very FIRES of Hell itself!

                  You clearly have confined your experience of Buddhism to American Buddhist and never talk to an Asian Buddhist. I recently had the experience of talking to a Asian gas station attendant who was explaining to me the various supernatural wonders of Buddhism like being able to see the invisible masters coming to take the souls of the dying away to the next incarnation.

                  And you do realize Buddhist believe in Hell?

                    You make it seem like making no choice is also a choice. The disadvantage of that however is that you will go to hell according to all religions. So effectively hell becomes a certainty only what hell will look like becomes a question.

                    If you make a choice, instead of making none, at least you have a chance of making the right one in which case you will not have to go to hell.

                    So stop being a coward and start determining what you think your life should be about. You know what we have chosen and why but in the end it is all up to you...

                      Like nearly any religion, there are many denominations of Buddhism. Kinda like how there are Methodist Christians, Baptist Christians, Catholic Christians and several other denominations of Christianity.

                        Yes, and when you take Christianity and strip out The Bible and the teachings of Christ you get Unitarianism; the Diet, no-caffeine Pepsi of Abrahamic Faiths. I am positive you can go play cut and paste with The Bible and get a Christian version of what you want to do with Buddhism but the result will be the same; a mutilated corpse of a faith lacking in authenticity were anyone can tack on any old insane idea. Like meditation puts you in contact with your inner self and not demons.

                          So, you don't know about Buddhism, and you also don't know the correct use of "agnostic". It is not part of the "spectrum" in which you've interjected it.

                          This is not accurate:

                          Theist --> Agnostic --> Atheist

                          This is accurate:

                          Theist --> Atheist --> Antitheist
                          A Theist actively believes in God (or has chosen some sort of imaginary friend(s) to worship).

                          An Atheist does not have a belief in God (or all the imaginary friends of false religions). The atheist need not actively disbelieve in God, as that itself is an act of faith (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence).

                          An Antitheist believes that religious belief is inherently harmful and should be eradicated, and will work to that end. See: Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, PZ Myers.
                          This is also accurate:

                          Gnostic --> Agnostic
                          A Gnostic believes we can and/or do "know God".

                          An Agnostic believes we cannot "know God".
                          So, one is not "either agnostic or atheist". They are unrelated to one another. In fact, it's quite possible to be an "agnostic atheist", or someone who does not believe we can "know God" and thus does not actively believe in God.
                          Bible boring? Nonsense!

                          You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

                            An Agnostic believes we cannot "know God".

                            WRONG!!!!!!


                            WEBSTER DICTIONARY ( But I'm sure you right him off as a Demonic, Homosexual too )

                            1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

                            Key word PROBABLY, Meaning NOT SURE, Meaning THERE IS A POSSIBILITY. Meaning I used the Term Agnostic just fine Professor Search Engine.

                            In all reality this is really ridiculous. So what if Buddhism is or is not a religion. Your main concern ultimately is letting people know that their going to rot and burn in hell for the things that they do. Your proof of such things is found in a book that is made up of several letters written by early followers, apostles and others that took it upon themselves (or by GOD's divine Inspiration ) to answer questions by other followers. Then in the year A.D. 170 the Muration Canon was put together as the bible's "First Draft". Then the Council of Laodicea had their way, then the Council of Carthage and the Council of Hippo did a little re-working and of course the Council of Nicaea had the whole Christ, God, Son, one person argument, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
                            I can look up things on the internet too Rev. Rodimer. My point is you could care less about my placement in the afterlife. Your joy doesnt come from Christ it stems from some disgusting hate for others. For instance your a proud member of a Forum that unless I'm a believer tags my name with something eluding to the fact that I'm going to hell!!! Where is the Christ Love in that?
                            OH and Pastor Isaac Peters, as far as who YOUR neighbor is. I AM. I AM I AM I AM I AM I AM. Love me, just as Christ did, just as God the Father LOVED me so much that he gave his ONLY SON JESUS. Yet you question who your neighbor is?? and you call yourself a Pastor? Didn't Jesus call you to be a fisher of men, all I can see is a guy that's content with his flock and now enjoys arguing with those whom he judges to be damned. I think it would be a better use of your time to turn off the computer but on some work clothes and go and build up your community. You too Rodimer, if your supposed to be showing me Christ, You Suck At It, but I don't hate you, I LOVE YOU!!! I bet your a cool guy, no no, I know your a cool guy. Even if you do wear Cafe Glasses.

                              Then you're not paying very good attention. Do you honestly think that we've put all of this effort into this site, preaching the truth about Christianity and the Bible, because we don't want people to know it?
