Again, hard to seek God when you think you are a god.

Lot's of folks died over "religion" not necessarily Christianity.

I encourage any person trying to "start" reading the Bible to pick Paul's letters.

If Paul were alive today, we would be getting a bunch of letters for sure.

You seem to be very happy and content with your beliefs. May you be at peace.

Like that?

I may agree with that sentiment IF the Muslim in question is planning to harm others. I’d not be prejudiced in that line of thinking as I’d equally apply it to any and all groups.

No.

Maybe HE had Unitarian leanings?

It’s not your fault. Most people are like you in that we can tolerate different views on religion and salvation.
But it’s an unfortunate fact of life that some people simply cannot be happy unless they’re causing somebody else grief!🤬 On top of that fact, evil will always attack truth! Darkness cannot tolerate light.
That’s why most threads about religion usually become whizzing contest!😒 Either by design out of maliciousness or be accident, people play right into the devil’s purpose!
I myself am a firm believer in Christ Blood giving us a chance at salvation. The Book says that by faith in Him alone are we saved. My ticket is already punched, it was 2000 years before I was born!😀
I’m no Bible scholar, but anyone who has read the book can see that time is getting close. The devil is aware of this, and he’s getting more aggressive. We Christians should be getting more aggressive towards our loved ones who are not saved.
One of the greatest lies Satan ever came up with is the one that says “I’m a good person. I’m sure I will be judged accordingly.”
I hear this all the time, from my own family! Sometimes even with hostility!
I enjoy discussing this with other people, believers or not. I’m hoping always to find another way of getting the message out. Salvation is not something we should keep to ourselves. We should be actively seeking those around us. God rightfully expects His followers to do this.
But the fact remains that darkness cannot tolerate the light. Satan will search for a way to combat The Word!
Reon

Edited to add that Christians don’t fly planes full of people into buildings full of other people. They don’t cut the heads off of nonbelievers. (At least in the past 500 years or so😀) and we don’t believe that killing an unborn baby is a Constitutional right!
Don’t give me that line about Christian violence. If you believe that, you’re either stupid or you’re actually helping Satan’s purpose!

Guess that all depends on YOUR definition of Christian.

Some of the scummiest POS vile corrupt evil beings claim to be devout Christians. More people have been killed in the name of Christianity than ANY other cause.

Sounds like something to end not promote.
Hey Ram the apostle Paul felt exactly like you wanting to kill Christians and snuff out the faith but after meeting the the Lord on the way to Damascus he was able to write most of the New Testament. You may know many "Christians" that don't walk the walk or are Christians in name only but remember even the best Christians are still sinners. My advice FWIW is "seek the Lord while He still may be found" and remember don't judge Christ by Christians...I try the best I can but still get called out at times.

What does church and / or Sunday have to do with it? A lot of folks go to church on Saturday. A lot of folks go to synagogues.

Religion has potential to be one of the most divisive topics around.


A Catholic priest, a Baptist minister and a rabbi are camping together.
Around the campfire they each claim to be the best at winning converts to their respective faiths. To settle the friendly dispute they decide to seek out a bear and try to convert it. The next day they fan out in different directions into the woods, planning to meet back at the campsite in twelve hours.
That night they gather around the fire again. "Well," said the Baptist, "how did you do?"
"After a few hours I came upon a bear foraging for berries," the priest said. "I read to him from our Catechism and we talked about theology, and I'm happy to report I signed him up to start our conversion education."
"Good," the Baptist said. "I found a black bear in a creek. I laid out God's plan for salvation for him. He prayed the sinner's prayer and I baptized him right there in that creek!"
They then both turned to the rabbi, who they now noticed had scratches on his face, torn clothes and blood across his belly.
He took a long, deep breath and said: "If I could do it over again, I would not start with circumcision."


Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me."
I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?"
He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912."
I said, "Die, heretic!"
And I pushed him over.

Yes because religion is man-made, true Christianity is about a relationship with Christ.

Being in a church every week don’t make you a Christian any more than being in a garage every week makes you a car! 😀
Christ Himself warned us the many would come in His Name to deceive even the elect.
Lotta so called “Christian” churches allowing gay or transgender preachers , treating salvation as a participation trophy. As I said, Satan is very aggressive in his attacks, and he often uses Gods Own Word in his attacks! We need to be using aggressive tactics ourselves.
This is why I like those threads, and it’s also why some people cannot avoid participating in a thread they know nothing about!
Taking the His Name in vain is not saying God dammit!
Good preachers come straight out of His Word, and great preachers always use Scripture to back up their teachings with more Scriptures.
If someone tells you something different, they actively taking His Name in vain.
Read the Bible yourself. Find a church that teaches straight out of The Word.
Don’t buy into the lies. Like I said, God expects His people to be active in sharing our salvation.
He also allows Satan to use His Word in deception.
He wants His people to choose our own paths. The true path will lead you right back to your Father!

Just use your own judgment.

I enjoy genuine discussions about religion and in particular Christianity. I’m finding the word genuine to refer apply most conversations the older that in get. Fortunately, or unfortunately, this particular board isn’t a good place for extended genuine conversations.

Threads centered around subjects related to christianity are typically carpet bombed by two accounts supposedly originating in Australia. They are circular thinkers and demonstrate a love for attacking the Christian faith.

Based on my experiences and observations I thought about the “starting point” at which I would like to have begun years ago. At this point in my life I would try to understand everything in the Old and New Testament based on Christ’s words to the disciples in Luke 24:44-49.

There is a Marxist ploy.. Can't debate the Merits. Change the definition. Not Christian huh? Why all the Crosses?

I used to wonder why the antis can't just scroll past a Christian thread but now as the time gets nearer it is quite apparent who's pulling their strings. John 15:18-25
