Re: Hello you seem a bit extreme but im open to dialogue if you provide evidence

I never said the Christian life would be easy. The Bible does not promise that! All I am saying is the gospel is a message of love.

Of course - Jesus loves those who love Him back. Everyone else is destined to Hell (John 3:18). Now, when you think about it, that is a whole bunch of people are going to Hell. 2/3 of humanity today are not Christians. That means that 2/3 of people living today are automatically destined to Hell, it really doesn't matter if they live their lives helping others. They don't love Jesus so Jesus doesn't love them, either. Of course in the past, these percentages were even higher.

Now, regarding the 1/3 of humanity belonging to different Christian denominations, there are plenty of people who profess to be Christians but don't follow Jesus' teachings. That means they are going to Hell, too. So, maybe 5% of people alive today are going to Heaven. Maybe.

We are sinners and we need Jesus to save us from our sins. If we ask Him with a true repentant heart, He will! It’s so simple, please don’t complicate it.

I feel like you and a lot of people on this forum think you can earn your salvation. The Bible makes it very clear that we CANNOT! Salvation is a gift.

Dear, you are giving me a headache. Don't you see a contradiction in what you have just said - see the highlighted parts?

You need to decide, which one is it:
1) Salvation is earned, because Jesus will save those who truly repent
or
2) Salvation os a gift, so Jesus will decide whom to save, and whether we repent or not doesn't really matter, because we cannot earn it through repentance.


You cannot eat your cake and have it too. So please decide, which is your opinion: is Jesus somehow obligated to save those who repent, or is Salvation a gift that is gifted and not earned?

How dare you? Using this Godly website to pervert God's Word! Repent!

Ms. Basilissa is a and definitely would never pervert anything, much less God's Holy Word! How dare *you*!

Hello. I see you have adopted a homersexual attitude that you believe Christianity should be. No doubt you don't read the KJV version of The Bible. I weep as I see the religiously retarded try to preach a false gospel about Jesus and God. I will take the opportunity to point out that YOU are RELIGIOUSLY RETARDED. I am helping you out by pointing out your RETARDATION. May I suggest you start attending a Baptist Church to try to cleanse yourself of THE RETARD ILLNESS in you so you may be saved some day?

Boy it does feel nice to do some charity work now and then. I'm sure I will get an extra cookie this Sunday at Sunday School. Am I able to write this post off as community service?

It think I need a lesson on how to respect others. Just because this an online forum, does not give me the right to speak to people however you want. I are not obeying the Bible. Please clean out my mouth, learn how to treat others the way I want to be treated.

God said that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We do not get to heaven by works. Because the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.

I really don't understand how this is contradictory, this is what the Bible teaches us. The Bible does NOT contradict itself! Why are you trying to make the gospel so complicated?

Matthew 18:2-4 - "He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Re: Hello you seem a bit extreme but im open to dialogue if you provide evidence

Confessional? This isn't some Cathlick group sir. The KJV Bible says for us to follow his word to the T. You don't get a free pass for asking to simply be forgiven. That's why Cathlicks are running around raping children left and right because that's how they think God works. You should fear God because he has only one true way. If you stray from that path you better pray and pray hard because you'll be on the one way track to hell. I do have to ask what Bible you are reading as well.

Re: Hello you seem a bit extreme but im open to dialogue if you provide evidence

God bless you all! Im a recent born again Christian and i have repented from being a sinful catholic now im wondering why there seems to be so much hatred here... Is it not best to preach the Gospel in peace and love rather than kill those who oppose us?

Every day somebody comes here and claims to be a former Catholic or a former atheist who has seen the light.

So I'm sure you'll understand if I'm skeptical.

Could you please tell us exactly how and why you came to see yourself as a "sinful" Catholic? What, in your opinion, is sinful about being a Catholic? And what is it about Catholic teaching that you feel is no longer compatible with your walk with Jesus?

Very truly yours and eagerly awaiting your reply,

Thank you, dear. What this pool soul seems to have missed, is that I was merely asking a question.

God said that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We do not get to heaven by works. Because the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.

I really don't understand how this is contradictory,

Here, let's do it with a parable.

Imagine you are the boss in the workplace. As in every workplace, there are some good ones and there are some slackers. There are also those who actively kiss your behind, bending backwards to do everything you want without questioning anything. You - the boss - like some workers and dislike others, for a million of reasons - maybe you dislike some because they are slackers, maybe you dislike some who kiss your behind too ostentatiously, or maybe just dislike the guy with the eternal garlic breath.

Bonus time comes, and here is your dilemma: do you treat bonuses as your GIFTS - which means you give bonuses to people whom you like. Which means some of the good workers, maybe a couple of behind-kissers, and maybe even a slacker or two.

Or, do you treat the bonuses as REWARDS, meaning you are obligated to give largest bonuses to the best workers (including the abnoxious garlic breath), including that ostentatious behind-kisser whom you secretly despise.

See the difference? It cannot be both. It's either a gift based on the Boss' whim, or a reward for work well done - in this case, for repenting for past sins and following the Word of God.

The Bible does NOT contradict itself!

Of course it doesn't! If the Word of God was messy, internally contradictory, and filled with incorrect information about the world, it would not be the Word of God!

Why are you trying to make the gospel so complicated?

I am not talking about the Gospel. I am just inquiring about your interpretation of it.

I am following the Bible (KJV). The Pharisees of Jesus’ day also believed as you do. But Jesus did have very nice thinks to say about them.

Perhaps if you provided evidence for what beliefs Christians and Pharisees have in common?

Unless you're about to shunt up the idea that pharisees are actually parsees.

AlexGodlover,

Your quote above is so true, therefore I have to ask you, do you love Osama Bin Laden as a past enemy to the USA as much as I do for masterminding the 911 attacks in killing 3500 citizens, and maiming hundreds?!

Jesus was probably looking down on that fateful 9/11 day watching Osama Bin Laden smiling as he watched his plan go forth, albeit, Jesus loved him so much that it hurt! Don't you agree?

Praise Jesus!

I see your point. Do you think Osama bin Laden did repent moments before he was killed by Obama? It would be such joy to see him in Heaven, wouldn't it?

It would indeed be a joyous occasion. Thank you, Ms Xanax, for suggesting it. Mr Bin-Laden had such a very beautiful smile.
