You're more or less right. Faith, not works, saves you. But don't think that just because you "believe" in God is going to necessarily save you from eternal hellfire. The true test of faith is living out your faith and following all of the Bible. You are not just paying lip service to the Lord, but actually servicing Him.

You can also look at it this way: If you really believe in God, you will follow Him. And to follow Him, you must follow the Bible.

If I really believe in God, then I believe in Him. No more, no less, no second guess.

Not if you don't believe in Him in the way of a True Christian™

Re: An introduction to Me

I don't believe that Bible is the sole basis of Christianity because other True Christians have told me other things that do not exactly follow the Bible.

Who are these True Christians, and what have they told you?

If God loves all of His children, why does He hate homosexuals?

Because they're not His children.

If God is perfect and supposed to be the complete opposite of Satan, why does He hate anything?

That's a non sequitur. The Bible says that God hates, so who are we to ask Him why?

If we were created in God's vision and he is perfect, did he make a mistake when He gave us free will and made certain groups of people that go against the Bible? There are many more questions where those came from, but they are just a few examples that mostly matter to me.

No, it wasn't a mistake. Again, God has His reasons:

Romans 9:19-24: Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

And lastly, if one of the ten commandments says "thou shalt not murder", then why does it say in the Bible that Christians have a right to murder homosexuals? If one of the ten commandments says "love thy neighbor", then why do we hate at all? "True Christians" say they want to bring peace to the world by killing all of those who are non-christians!

It's not murder when God commands it.

y beliefs don't need to have a system to be beliefs.

That's good, since your beliefs clearly don't have a system.

If I really believe in God, then I believe in Him. No more, no less, no second guess.

Please see my quote from the Epistle of James earlier in this thread.

Re: An introduction to Me

You have some very valid points in both of your posts.

But sweetie, there is no right and wrong when it comes to what you believe in. I don't believe that anyone else's beliefs are right or wrong either. Everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want to. God gave us all free will for a reason.

That's right. He gave us free will in order to allow us the privilege of choosing Jesus over satan. There are no other choices.

Matthew 12:30:
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

I don't believe that Bible is the sole basis of Christianity because other True Christians have told me other things that do not exactly follow the Bible. If God loves all of His children, why does He hate homosexuals? If God is perfect and supposed to be the complete opposite of Satan, why does He hate anything? If we were created in God's vision and he is perfect, did he make a mistake when He gave us free will and made certain groups of people that go against the Bible? There are many more questions where those came from, but they are just a few examples that mostly matter to me.

Everything you've said here goes against God's Holy Word. You are not allowed to make God up as you go along, just to suit your sinful, perverted needs. The bottom line is, you can't understand the full depth and majesty of the Holy Bible because your father is satan.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

I look into my heart to make a decision in whether something is right or wrong. I use my own judgments and morals to decide on whether or not I want to or don't want to do something. I don't believe that I am prophet or that I am God. God's in my heart, and that's where I go to when I need help.

Wrong again, pervert.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Proverbs 28:26

And lastly, if one of the ten commandments says "thou shalt not murder", then why does it say in the Bible that Christians have a right to murder homosexuals? If one of the ten commandments says "love thy neighbor", then why do we hate at all? "True Christians" say they want to bring peace to the world by killing all of those who are non-christians!

My beliefs don't need to have a system to be beliefs.

You are free to believe whatever you like, of course. But I hope you understand that God WILL send you to the everlasting fires of hell if you continue to spit in His loving face the way you have been. He demands your unconditional love and complete obedience. Half-measures infuriate Him.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
