Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

My country has delivered most of the guidelines for the modern good.

You mean, like imperialism, subjugation and exploitation of non-white folks (including slavery), poverty, greed, and devastation of natural environment?

You might be on to something there, sweetie!

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

haha want to get started on this b? The British fought to end slavery against America. Imperialism? yes we had an empire and for the most part we improved the overall standards of living for our then subjects and they choose to be part of the commonwealth.

Oh, really?

You do realize that Britain abolished slavery a mere 30 years before America, right?

Imperialism? yes we had an empire and for the most part we improved the overall standards of living for our then subjects and they choose to be part of the commonwealth.

Of course, because all people in India were so happy to choose to be part of the commonwealth. I guess everything I heard about Ghandi must be wrong. In Australia and Canada, you killed off the natives, that is an interesting definition of "improving the overall standards of living."

Ae you really so naive that you believe the crap you're saying?

So you are agreeing that we were the pioneers in stopping slavery? Yes the british made what we would not call mistakes but would the US be absolved of this also? the simple answer is no. Ghandi by the way was a peaceful protestor and we gave India independence in 1947. Since then we have used our influence to improve the world around us not corrupt it.

Sorry but unless you can give clear evidence to back up what you are quoting then you are at best trying to fight your corner and at worst lying. If you do want to post specifics then back it up with some facts. We as a democratic nation are by no means perfect but being so blatantly accused on some ridiculously general points to which the US is more guilty of more than any developed nations is frankly hypocritical.

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

Yep, but it was not out of the goodness of their hearts, but cold economics - after the industrial revolution, slaves were more of a problem than a necessity. (Unlike America, where slave labor was still in high demand).

Yes the british made what we would not call mistakes but would the US be absolved of this also? the simple answer is no. Ghandi by the way was a peaceful protestor and we gave India independence in 1947.

Right, and nobody has spent any time in prison, and nobody died, and there was no violence at all at any time when India was trying to liberate itself from British rule.

What kind of whitwash version of history did they teach you at school, sonny?

Since then we have used our influence to improve the world around us not corrupt it.

Oh, so when you were saying:

My country has delivered most of the guidelines for the modern good.

You meant "since 1947?" What goods has your country delivered to the world since 1947, sweetie? Margaret Thatcher?

So you were doing India a favor when you gave them their independence? Its not like they had to suffer under British imperialism since the 18th century or anything.

You should turn from your sinful ways or you will burn in hell.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Your hero Gandhi was a hindaloo demon worshiper who used to beat his wife with his cane. Even your atheist pals know what a monster he was.

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

Hello to you all.

I would like to introduce myself as a person who went to a baptist church as a child but as an adult does not hold a belief as such. I believe in fact and fact only.

Okay.

Because as a human being i cannot definately say what is true and is not

That's why you need a strong moral compass like the Bible to guide you in your life changing decisions.

I try to live my life in a good and valued way. I have not commited any crimes, i have a family and contribute to society.

Fair enough. I take it at face value that you are a nice human being.

I also enter this site not to be saved.

That's were the trouble begins, you see I was agreeing with you all this while. As True Christians, it's our duty to warn you about the perils of Hellfire and the fact that when you were born, your mother had conceived you in Original Sin, I'm sure you have heard of Adam and Eve and that Apple? Believe me, Adam and Eve screwed it up royally for all humanity. As their legitimate human descendants, no matter what we do to cleanse ourselves of the Original Sin, we're already guilty in God's eyes. The burden does not lie on God to prove his existence to you, the burden lies on you to plead God not to smite you like an insect. Everyday, 120,000 people die on Earth somewhere. Do you think there is even the slight possibility that God did not choose to smite them on purpose?

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

No matter how righteous you think you are, you always come short of God's glory. It doesn't make a difference if you're a good person or not, only God's mercy can save you, the original Sinner.

Titus 3:5 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Most people are Hell-bound anyway so as a good friend, it will do you good to heed our advice and save yourself from this impending Hell destruction.

Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter ye in at the strait gate: for 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.

Why don't you take God's generous offer of redemption especially when he's giving it quite liberally? Remember, you're the original sinner and God has no obligation to save you. You're like a worthless termite to him. Why wouldn't you get down on your knees and hope perhaps, he may forgive you.

Romans 10:1 - Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

You might think God is being a bit, shall we say, UNFAIR? But what can you really do about it? No creation can ever fight back against the creator. What happens when your car starts giving you irreparable engine trouble? Of course, you sell it for scrap value. What happens when your pen stops writing? You throw it away in the dustbin. What happens when the plants in your garden do not yield fruit? You discard them with better seeds to replenish your garden.

Romans 10:3 - For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Now, you're free to take it up with God all you want but remember:

Romans 9:20 - 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?

Romans 9:21 - Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

Slopus, what's all this business about you finding things offensive? You'd have to be pretty self-absorbed to think we have the time or energy to think about which things you choose to find offensive. We're trying to save souls, man.

[SlopeHead1980]

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

Hi all, been away for a while dealing with everyday life. Hope you are all well and happy

[Faith_Machine]

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

Of course we're well and happy. We have Jesus.

Have you established a relationship with Him yet?

[SlopeHead1980]

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

By your standards maybe not. But I wanted to come on and wish you all well in your pursuits. We may have differing views but I stand here wishing you good health, happiness, and tolerance.

[Faith_Machine]

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

What's stopping you, friend? All you have to do is tell Jesus you're sorry for all the sin in your life and ask him to take control of your destiny. It's real easy to do!

[Didymus Much]

Re: So what is 'biblically correct'?

...tolerance.

Yet another way the True Christians™ obey the Bible perfectly.

2 Corinthians 11:19 "For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise."

Don't you love the way Paul blows smoke up their arse?
