    (No Debate) I did an experiment.

    I did an experiment, not exactly planned but remembered results and comparing them to see what's what. I prayed. First in a protestant sort of way to God without invoking any of the saints. Second I prayed asking Blessed Mary for her prayers to the Lord our God as well as praying to God...

    Why don't you door knock evangelise?

    Going from house to house to evangelise in your neighbourhood with friends from your church (for safety's sake and according to the example of the disciples that Jesus sent) seems like a Christian way to do evangelism. Jesus sent out disciples out two by two to all the towns and cities in Judah...

    Hunger and thirst after ...

    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6)] If blessed means happy or something similar then why are so many Christians miserable at the prospect of living a righteous life, as if living in righteousness was just to darned hard to do...

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    Some Christians appear to think that the warnings about judgement and condemnation in the holy scriptures do not apply to them because they reckon that Jesus died for them and they are saved entirely by what Jesus did on the cross (and possibly in life and after the resurrection too). Well is...

    Apart from works of the Law!

    Saint Paul wrote some convoluted prose and expresses some ideas in language that people have a hard time figuring out. It is almost as if he has ideas welling up in his mind and flowing out onto the page at a rate that his words cannot match. Saint Peter warned that some of what Paul wrote is...

    Shine Jesus Shine.

    There's a chorus - a sort of minihymn - where the lyric "shine Jesus shine" is repeated. Now that got me to thinking. Jesus said "I am the light of the world" Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the...

    The salt of the Earth.

    Christians are to be the salt of the Earth. Some say that means Christians are to act like salt for preservation of meat and fish for use in times of scarcity. But in what way can Christians preserve things for times of scarcity? And is preservation really the idea in what Jesus said? Matthew...

    Salvation

    Another poster, a protestant one, observed that salvation has tenses. It does. There's salvation from dangers in this life. That is present tense. If it is remembered then it is past tense. There's salvation at the last judgement. That's future tense. There's salvation from sin. That's...

    Salvation

    You've painted an imaginative picture. One entirely of your own, having nothing whatever to do what anything I said and nothing to do with anything that I believe, nor is it even remotely related to the teaching of Christ in the passage quoted by Mennosota. Matthew 25:31-46 [31]“But when the Son...

    Salvation

    What you wrote above is true. Now back the the passage. It is about eternal life and eternal punishment. You asked if it was about salvation. The answer is yes. It is about salvation. The ones who are given eternal life are the ones of whom Jesus says "35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to...

    Salvation

    What you say may depend on "your eschatology" but it is evident that what Jesus said does not depend on your eschatology. Jesus will separate the righteous from the cursed ones giving eternal life to the righteous ones and the cursed one will go into eternal punishment. I added the bold and...

    Salvation

    Nation, people, or individuals who are "the just" are on the right. They inherit eternal life. The passage is about eternal life and eternal punishment so it gives every appearance of being about salvation, does it not?

    Seems that those on the Lord's right inherit eternal life; that's about salvation isn't it?

    Salvation

    I know that you gave your understanding of the passage from Matthew 25 about the last judgement. What matters, as far as I can tell, is what Jesus meant by the words he spoke. Matthew 25:31-46 31 But when the Son of man will have arrived in his majesty, and all the Angels with him, then he will...

    That would be because it isn't in the passages I posted. Check them again if you like.People are judged on what they say and what they do, that is what holy scripture teaches. Matthew 7:1-2 1 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2 For with whatever judgement you judge, so shall you be...

    Brown people wrote the bible

    The first post isn't about race. Being brown isn't a race. Nevertheless the bible was written by Israelite people, Luke may be an exception, and the people of Israel were - broadly speaking - brown people. But this thread is not about race nor is it about the USA or any of the side issues that...

    Salvation

    Those are very comforting words - "Our salvation has been won for us by Jesus already" - and no one contests them. As long as "Our" means "For those who are in Christ" and "us" means "those who are in Christ" (or for the sake of succinct English, "them") and "already" means "at the cross when...
