    The Lutheran Reformation (Celebrated Each October 31)

    That would, in fact, be most Christians, if we make the assumption that we can count all who belong to churches which hold that POV. Nevertheless, I agree that pursuing the issue further wouldn't be a great idea, and 'thanks' for the interesting exchange, my friend.

    Bertrand Russell on God

    Because you had been persuaded that the Bible is indeed what it purports to be. Not so. Christianity says that we should live our lives in the belief of truths we have had revealed to us. That's what the Bible amounts to. Of course, if you don't believe the Bible, then the question you asked...

    The Lutheran Reformation (Celebrated Each October 31)

    Then let's agree that the following statement from the OP said something else-- "IF you answer "me" then you are the Savior. Not Jesus. Not a bit, not at all. Not now, not ever. Not in any way, shape or form or manner. Salvation is all wrapped up in YOU." I am sorry to have offended anyone...

    The Lutheran Reformation (Celebrated Each October 31)

    Yes. that's true. But few Christians--and almost no church--actually thinks that the individual saves himself completely on his own. That being the case, it is a mistake to say that only one of them, God or His creature, can be the "Savior." Had God not paid the price for the sins committed...

    USA Is Tulsi Gabbard's decision the start of something important?

    Oooh, a new party. I hadn't anticipated that answer.

    USA Is Tulsi Gabbard's decision the start of something important?

    Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman and candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, announced this week that she's leaving the Democratic Party. Her reasons were given in the following statement: "I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete...

    Have you read any of the holy books of other religions? If not, do you intend to?

    I have done that. It's at least part of the reason that I'm a Christian rather than something else.

    DJ Khaled - Use This Gospel ft. Kanye West, Eminem

    It doesn't matter which forum this is. You are asking others to make an investment in some obviously offbeat presentation with no input from you whatsoever (not even when it's suggested to you). Include your own feelings about whatever aspect of the video you are concerned with as you ask for...

    Have you read any of the holy books of other religions? If not, do you intend to?

    The other sacred writings that most of us have in mind are worth a quick read, at least parts of them. That's because these religions often come up in discussions like we have here, so you might feel it worthwhile to have familiarized yourself with at least the general drift of the contents. To...

    DJ Khaled - Use This Gospel ft. Kanye West, Eminem

    "What I think" is that no one should post goofy videos that would require other members to invest any significant amount of time watching and listening but without the poster even having explained what it is about the contents that he's interested in. In fact, some forums have flatly prohibited...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    True. We, for our part, will treat your argument as being merely one ordinary person's musings, then. Your replies are still interesting as speculation, but your conclusion was not based on science although you tried to say it was. Unfortunately, your question to the forum was supposed to deal...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Correction: this verse might prove the existence of God for people who believe the Bible to be divine revelation and verbally inspired, which of course requires them first to believe that there is a God, and these people don't need this particular verse in order to come to that conclusion...

    Outside services?

    None. We've never held any outdoors worship services. Some weddings, dedications, memorial services, and the like, certainly, but not the Sunday worship.

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    No, I didn't. I said that you posted some ideas about other religions...which you undeniably did. Great. And then I noted that what you said about them was wrong. Was I obligated to agree with your thinking?? What does that mean? "Other religions" but none identified; and "saved more than...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    I offered you the chance to prove the point you presented to the forum, and you declined. So we end by accepting that there is NOT, in fact, a great difference between Christian denominations when it comes to the central doctrines of the Christian faith. Okay. Yes, there are some differences...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Name a few Christian denominations for us that do not believe that the possibility of humans being saved from the consequences of sin was made through a direct act on the part of the Creator who sent his own divine son to suffer and die for those sins....and that we may achieve eternal salvation...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    I'll try to be as direct as possible in answering your question. 1. The Original Post--yours--presented a lecture/article/video from a man who was wrong in his claims. They were quite overstated. Christians are NOT, in fact, as divided as he was saying. That is an error on his part, and it was...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Hmmm. I agree that "wildly different things" overstates it. Christians of different denominations have much in common, including the essentials of the faith in almost every case; but yet, what Christians disagree on is not confined to minor things. There are a lot of differences that are...

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    You don't have to answer the question if it's not especially to your liking, and it may indeed not be something you care much about as a self-described non-denominational Christian. However, I hope that other members of this forum will offer their thoughts about the matter.

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    Here is the question that was asked in the Original Post: "Which denomination today most closely resembles the Christian Church of the First Century?"
