One problem with that. Jesus tells us He is the way, truth and light. Nobody gets in except by him. What are your good works compared to what Jesus suffered so we can be eternally with Him? Of course you have to believe He is god first otherwise you think you can get in anyway you want.
Peace brother
No tlooking to “get in”… a grave, “afterlife”.
Leaves out Jews and every other religion, too. Doesn’t sound like the type of “in” crowd I want to be around.
Ever hear of messianic Jews? We’re told most people won’t believe. So why are you surprised most ppl don’t believe? That was rhetorical BTW. I won’t get into the millions becoming Christian from other religions. A simple google search will tell you.
Nor those that have converted to Islam at the edge of a sword.
how so? I’m always open to listening to anyone so long as they have a valid belief. When you have a nonsensical opinion…well…I find you tenuous at best…as does most of the world. but if I shut you down before you had your say…please share. I’m listening.
That’s an amazing story brother. I’m glad you came back. Thanks for sharing that.
Separating a “valid belief” from “nonsensical opinion” can be a bit tricky…it seems to me that by definition all beliefs are nonsensical. JMO
I believe you exist.
too many people try and make assertions or refer to things as facts that simply aren’t. That’s what I deem nonsensical opinions. My rule of thumb is, if presenting it in a court case, would it be admitted, or thrown out. If admitted, it has enough credibility to be reviewed and considered. Listening to someone tell me they personally heard that their cousin’s friend’s brother was touched by god and cured of his ailments simply wouldn’t stand up in court nor with me.
Ironic isn’t it.
Just me rambling a bit. I’m not particularly religious as in attendance to a regular church. I believe there is a creator, don’t know the name of that creator. I also don’t believe that creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive. This isn’t terribly memorable to those who know me.
One thing I find interesting is how much of the Book Of Revelations seems to be coming to fruition in the now.
This video actually concerns me on a deep level so I thought I would share it. To me this seems like the Mark Of The Beast type of an issue. Where it may not be the actual Mark Of The Beast but it sure looks like a precursor.
Such as?
I take it you are aware of the 5 red heifers arriving in Israel that are required as a sacrifice to build the temple.
then there is the claim about the serpent coming out of the wailing wall…
I don’t know that I’d say it’s ironic…but I am always open to hear/read what others have to say so I can reevaluate my position if the cause may arise to do so.
Although I completely Agree with your statement that infighting is healthy I do not think that saying “STFU” has any place in this community.
Amen, Brother Amen…
There’s a lot of crap you get into with people on what should be an opinion…your immediately right or wrong…this reminds me of my step sons gaming forums…since being on here I’ve been told I have a type,I probably carry in my waistband,am the worst among us and am bloodthirsty.Lol third grade, opinions are opinions are opinions.Name calling or telling someone you are right and they are wrong wont gain you any allies.
