Right. And we are expected to seek it.
But the issue isn't that simple--not just which church is right and the others wrong.
And, with respect, it's not sufficient to say that "Christ died for our sins, so us believing in him is the key to eternal life, and that's it period." (Or something...
Basically, I have to wonder if a person who lives half way around the globe really is an expert in how the abortion industry operates in the USA, especially since we had half of the US House of Representatives vote against outlawing even "partial birth" abortions. That's the common term for the...
FWIW, I doubt that this ^ is correct to say.
There are denominations which leave options open to the individual member concerning non-essential doctrines/teachings.
It would be interesting to know what areas of agreement and/or disagreement you have with the Lutherans, Anabaptists, Orthodox...
You're speaking logically, but the reason for the over-the-top flag displays, news articles, "Pride" declarations, street paintings, drag performances in schools, and etc. is propaganda.
It's done simply to establish that their way of life is normal and, presumably, embraced by society in...
...according to the sacred writings of one particular religious system of values and it alone.
Everything mankind knows about Adam's existence, doings, and the judgment rendered against him owes to the Judeo-Christian story about Adam!
All you are doing by quoting the Bible like this is...
Offhand, I'd say "no," but of course the point wasn't so narrowly framed in the preceding posts. The fact is that our Western systems of law are indebted to Christian concepts of morality that are not universal--concerning marriage, inheritance, property, and on and on.
If some of these laws do...
Well, holding this opinion is your right...and a lot better than repeating disinformation about the Court. Indeed, I agree in part with the point you have stated here. BUT it is the liberal justices who are the extremists on the Court.
While the media make much over the votes of the...
And there you have it, just as I predicted!
The comment you claimed was part of the Supreme Court's decision was actually something said by one justice on the court in citing an opinion from a previous one, and he wasn't saying that such current policies should be reversed, only that (like Roe...
Do whatever you want and then I will point out the places where you assumed something that isn't actually in the text but comes to you via AOC, Rep. Maxine Waters, a newspaper editorial, or some Hollywood loudmouth, etc.. ;)
Wrong again, Mac.
That was part of the hysterical false news reporting that originated with outraged activists on the far left during the first couple of days after the ruling came down.
Fortunately, some of the most ridiculous and inflammatory rhetoric is dying down now and probably will...
Of course it is "more democratic," and that was the observation you are replying to, not something about the safety of abortions. Virtually all abortions, by the way, result in the death of a human, so they cannot be very safe despite what you might imagine.
In this country, there are 50...
Very true.
Also true.
Yes. And undeniably so, if the Bible is to be our guide instead of some personal reasoning that seems appealing.
If there had been--for the sake of the argument--no resurrection of Christ from the grave, the redemption of mortals would still have been accomplished...
If you believe that, expect more and more postings of yours to be misread (as you see it) by everyone else here. No one else experiences that problem, so why do you suppose it's your own experience over and over again?
Yes, but we cannot adequately describe an altar call in such slimmed-down terms.
It is what it is and does, not simply what a deliberately narrow and selective view like this one conveys. Indeed, if we were to accept the statement that's quoted above, it could fit a wide range of church...
?? So how does an 'altar call' remedy that situation by leading the person to believe that his coming forward and repeating verbatim a statement that the pastor or assistant gives him will result in him being saved?
