You Say You Are Christians...

[trixiephatmon]

I just find it so strange that you all seem to think that you are the only ones who have recived God's glory. However, I am open-minded. I was curious, what do you believe it the true and only way to God and Christ?

For me, I believe that you must accept Jesus Christ as you Personal Savior and King and then live a life in which you strive to be christ-like. You mush acknowledge with you mind and heart and profess with your mouth that Christ came to earth to die for our sins so that we may have ever lasting life.

I do thinking that titheing is a way of worshiping, however, I do not believe that titheing is the way to heaven.

Please inform me on what you feel is right and wrong with my beliefs.

Not that you will change my point of veiw, for these are my beliefs and they will remain this way.

Friend, an open-minded person can change their views. You have a hardened heart.

Now, as for your question.

What is the way to Christ.

It's simple, accept him as your saviour. Then do the will of the father.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Now, where is the will of the Father laid out? Well, that's in the Old Testament.

All those icky laws in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, (you know, the moral ones; not the sacrificial ones that Jesus was the last sin offering for) like Don't be gay, don't wear clothes of divers fabric; don't make idols; have no other gods; don't murder your neighbours... those laws...

We don't pick and choose the ones that we don't feel apply any more. The only laws Jesus did away with were the ones about killing rams/lambs/turtledoves/bulls.

So, do you follow all the laws?

Let's put it this way: someone you love, Person A has sent you a letter. It's the last letter they'll ever send.

A copy of the letter also went to someone else. Now, you and that someone else want to know who is the best friend of Person A.

One of you reads every word of the letter, and follows every bit of advice flawlessly.

The other one says "Person A is very forgiving, so I'll just let someone else read it and give me the highlights. I'm sure I'm following the general spirit of the letter".

So is the best friend?

You see, we treat the Bible AS IF GOD WROTE IT. Because He did. We follow the Bible closer than any other Church in the world. How many other churches follow the commandments of Moses on separating menstrating women?
