Yes but I am very much alive and anyone I ask to pray for me are very much alive.The idea of praying to Mary or using her as an intercessor does not seem biblical to me and they same goes to praying through and of the apostels, the bible talks about one way to the father and I believe that is right.
this is a very interesting thread but I must confess a little to intellectual for my tastes but I would like to say I have had many people say science and faith do not go together only for them to spend days on end trying to prove how science can disprove my Faith.
I think I am on very solid ground, The whole bible talks of the one who is coming to take away the sins of the world so I think your assumptions of relying purely on Paul is unfounded as I said earlier in this debate I believe Grace was the original intention with God when moses led the people...
so if you don't believe in the trinity yet you believe Jesus made the earth and everything you must believe Jesus is a god and there is God the father so you believe in more than one god.human spirits that have not been born yet?
To me this brings in two points.1st point any church should, would gladly accept any sinner.2nd point any sinner wishing to continue in the same sin and not change should not be accepted in to a church.Sounds really weird but salvation is all about turning away from your sinfull habits and...
Personally I agree as the trinity makes sense to me but I think the jehovas witnesses change it to "a god" to totally seperate the bible from the notion that Jesus is God.
again if you believe Jesus to be God then you believe in two gods, you don't believe in the trinity do you?but lucifer was an angel, not man or God so how could he be anyones brother.
The only negatives I have found to being a Christian are explaining to people I am not insane, I am not a weak willed person who needs a crutch to get through life and I am not afraid of dying, apart from that the greatest thing in my life is my Faith.
A couple of points if Jesus created the world that would make him a God as you believe only the father is God you must believe in two Gods and I guess the Holy spirit makes three.If Jesus is the "only begotten son" of the father how could he have the devil or anyone else for that matter as a...
A person who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and saviour is no longer bound by the law, whom the son sets free is free indeed, faith is accredited not works, works are counted as debt before God, how was abraham saved by faith.If you are relying on your ability to keep the law to be saved you...
to me under Grace you are forgiven all sins past present and future so they cannot affect your salvation though the bible does talk about crowns and rewards in heaven so what we can expect once we get to heaven may be different.david in purgatory and then reincarnated, very interesting most...
lol...I really expected better if you cannot defend your own position then you clearly are not worth the effort.
God does not pronounce any death sentence...lol
