    Brown people wrote the bible

    Why [is it wrong to make Jesus in your own image]? Because it is not true, Jesus isn't and wasn't a USA person, nor a European, nor a black man, nor a South Asian, nor a far east Asian. But he isn't black. What is wrong with imaging an "Asian Jesus" [by which you appear to mean a far east...

    Salvation

    You may be labouring under a misconception about penance. Penance has nothing to do with absolution. One is absolved before performing any penance and very likely before being given a penance to perform. Penance has nothing to do with forgiveness either. One is forgiven as soon as one is...

    Salvation

    You've repeated Lutheran theology which others have posted before. I do not blame you for that. It is reasonable if your intent is to explain your position but what I am interested to know is how do you interact with what is written in Matthew 25 on the last judgement.

    Do you have any observations to make about Matthew 25 and the last judgement?

    Catholic priests continue sexual abuse

    Holy scripture says that the wicked continue in their wickedness so it is not surprising that wicked people can find their way into positions where they can perform their wickedness and try to avoid being discovered. It is bad that Catholic bishops and others in positions of responsibility have...

    That is what your religion teaches but it is not what Jesus said about the last judgement in Matthew 25 nor, as far as I can tell, in any other passage anywhere in the holy scriptures.

    Brown people wrote the bible

    I agree that no one living today knows for sure if Jesus was tall of short, thin or plump, hazel eyes or brown eyes, black or dark brown haired, or if his beard was bushy and long or trimmed and neat. But we do know his descent because the bible gives it in detail and we know he was an Israelite...

    Salvation

    Amen to that. What we do ought to come from being like Jesus Christ and the theology can be set aside if we live as Jesus' people following him.

    Brown people wrote the bible

    It's a fact that Jesus was born of woman, born under the law and that the people who received the law were Hebrews whose origin was in Ur of the Caldees and then in Canaan, then Egypt, and finally in Canaan again. Ur of the Caldees was in the land we call Iraq now, Canaan is in what we call...

    Salvation

    It's more than that; holy scripture says that people are to be judged by what they did in relation to "these these least" and some reject what scripture says in an effort to lend support to their theology. Matthew 25:31-46 31 But when the Son of man will have arrived in his majesty, and all the...

    Gotta believe to be saved, believing in Jesus Christ is the work that God wants people to do.

    That's rather condescending. Jesus is Saviour: Acts 13:23; Philippians 3:20; 1 Timothy 1:1; 2 Timothy 1:10; Titus 1:4; Titus 2:13; Titus 3:6; 2 Peter 1:1; 2 Peter 1:11; 2 Peter 2:20; 2 Peter 3:18; Jude 1:25;

    If you haven't read the above then read it because it is part of the context for this thread. Did Adam write any part of the bible? Did anybody at the tower of Bable write any part of the bible? Yes, none was written in the USA. Rest assured you are special.

    Come on :) You pick whatever you fancy. I am not going to decide for you. But when you pick a skin tone (I have no idea why you need to pick one) keep in mind the part of the world in which the holy scriptures were written.

    Yes, that is true brother psalms 91, but the reason I wrote the original post in this thread is that I saw a speech by former President of the USA Barack Obama in South Africa in which he discussed the formative documents of human culture. He pointed out that while many documents came from...

    What's wrong with USAns? It's consistent with the spirit of abbreviating the name of the country down to USA. Anyway, this thread is not about a proper name for USA people it is about the bible's authors and the bible's content.
