Brotherjim, if you still happen to come over to this thread any time, no hard feelings, i did look at the John scripture, but still hold fast to the BIble only. I still believe that a fundamentalist is sola Bible after studying it myself for 15 years as well. I know you had no way of knowing...
Christ IS God.
"Love the sinner, not his sin" To put it lightly. We are to love the lost, want their salvation, but not partake in their sinful activities that may morally bring us down.
we are free from working towards our salvation.
God does not like idle hands.
Christ says not to judge...
whether or not you think it is disrespectul doesn't make your interpretation true. I am myself a woman and I find the true interpretation of that verse that women are not to preach in a congregation or teach men spiritual things. Look in the Bible though, it says women can teach other women...
sorry thinking that we don't think so alike anymore. I don't believe that there are prophets today. I believe that our Bible is whole and complete and the only word from God to man- nothing else comes first or along with it, or else we would be like the Mormons and JWs. I believe that the gift...
said true-
certainly Baptist is not THE way, but Christianity. I am a Baptist because I seek to be independent of the world and also believe that Baptism is the first commandment of God following salvation. I am independent, fundamental and believe that God's word is inspired and perfect...
easter is pagan. I call the date we're talking about Resurrection Day. Jesus's resurrection is nothing about lillies or spring or eggs or rabbits. It's about him conquering death and being the first fruits and now we can have life too.
they may truly be Christians but they give the rest of us a bad rep. That is totally unscriptural to be railing and insulting people like that. If they are Christian, they are certainly not within God's will. Then again, there is of course the possibility that they aren't Christians. There are...
Jesus was just in what he did- his wrath was deserved. No one hit him though- he didn't retaliate because someone hit him- it wasn't in vengeance. God says vengeance is his alone. Not ours- but this doesn't make Jesus a pacifist.
Regarding your scripture portion- can't you see that the Bible...
Jesus was a pacifist? Go to the scriptures where Jesus cleared the temple in a rage and whipped the merchants there.
John 2:14-17
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them...
i dont really think it matters whether people think hell is just or not- I mean God created us, right? So he knows what's what right? Who are we to tell him what's what? He says in his word that you shouldn't fear men but he who can destroy your soul- I really don't think that there will be any...
i wouldn't trust another man's words- he is human and has his own weaknesses. He is able to be deceived. I'd take your guidance to life from the mouth of our Creator himself- I'm sure HE would know the purpose to life- read the Bible, not a book from a guy who thinks he knows what it's all about.
I believe that the purpose of life is to glorify God. He created man to have fellowship with him. Being fishers of men is just one of the things that we do to glorify God, but it is not our sole purpose here. God did not put us on earth to lead others to the Lord Jesus Christ- that became a...
God DID create a perfect world- he said it was good. However, the fall and sin affected it. God tells us that all of creation is groaning. It will only be perfect again when a NEW heaven (space) and a NEW earth are created.
you can hardly compare spiritual things to human love. Humans do not love as God loves.
I don't really know how it is "not surprising" that I am unable to understand- I truly believe you are pulling scripture out of its rightful place to fit a really twisted idea.
The Bible tells us that...
