    Be good or you won't get into heaven

    It does actually have a lot to do with it. Because even though works won't save you it will be evident if you have faith. I actually don't know anyone who thinks they can eliminate sin from their lives. Rather, I am more likely to hear that God's standards simply aren't that high

    Are there certain topics you won't ask your pastor?

    At the last church I attended, I talked with the pastor several times. One when they played secular music during the worship service and another to ask what groups or affiliations they were a part of. I didn't discuss any theological issues with him. I think as a former pastor myself you...

    Be good or you won't get into heaven

    Though I can't prove it, I have a feeling he was thinking of specific people or instances.

    Be good or you won't get into heaven

    While it is not ultimately up to me to judge whether or not a person is saved or has a living faith or not. There is scripture to point to the idea that true faith will have works with it. 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such...

    Crucified with Christ

    Okay, let's start with Romans 1:21-25 for example 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the...

    Should Psalms be used to support doctrine?

    I have mixed feelings about this. The Psalms were for the most part songs and material used for corporate worship as far as i know. There is some good doctrine in it though. The verse that you are talking about has to do with the enemies of God who had attacked God's people and abused them...

    Crucified with Christ

    I was wondering what was taking you so long to jump into the conversation and say something like that. . . . Yes, I know God can accomplish his will with or without me. God never meets with me on the basis on his need. Never. God needs nothing from us.

    Passive Righteousness

    I feel like now I am just repeating myself, so I am going to stop. You will have your views and I have mine.

    Passive Righteousness

    I wouldn't argue with you that God initiates the relationship. That isn't what we are really debating here. It is the idea that people are completely passive in the process that is troubling

    Passive Righteousness

    That is of course not the only thing that man brings to it. Man brings himself to the relationship. You can't have a relationship with someone who is merely a robot and has no control over what he is saying or doing. We bring ourselves into the relationship, our hopes, dreams, goals and...

    Crucified with Christ

    Yes, I think you can say "no" to God enough times that God will give you what you want. I've met people like that who keep resisting God. Going back to my point, don't you think there would be millions or even billions more people saved if we truly couldn't resist salvation and God was going...

    "Optional" activities in the church

    I would think it could be a bad or good thing depending on how you use those activities. For some seniors, it might be their own activities to do with other christian friends and help with loneliness and help them feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Most churches...

    Crucified with Christ

    Because a puppet has no will of his own. The way you make salvation sound reminds me of hearing about Calvin's irresistible grace. Essentially, we are going to heaven whether we like it or not or want to or not. If that were the case though, I would expect that a lot more people would be...
