The Truth of Christianity vs. All Other Belief Systems

kurious_kathy said:
Well aren't we glad we can pray and ask God to change hearts and save souls? We must remember that we are not the ones who can save anybody, it's Jesus who saves, we just try to point the way for others so they can get free from the bondage of sin.

As for th OP topic on the Truth of Christianity, I like what Mark Driscoll says here on Jesus verses religion... http://www.squidoo.com/marshillsermons you need to scroll down to the you tube and press play. I would really like to here what you thought of this message as it does pertain to the topic of this thread?

Wasn't he the guy who participated in that "debate" where his partner was a reformed prostitute and on the other side were Deepak Chopra and some ex-cleric? He appeared "simple" there, as he does in that video you linked to.

I think I'm starting to "get it" about you, KK. You have forfeited your ability to think to Jesus.

What do you mean by forfeited? I just know now from the bottom of my soul that everything outside of Christ will lead to death. If you believed this wouldn't you have to take a stand yourself?

I believe in that supernatural experience I had 2+ years ago, it was from God and I know what a person will experience if they die outside of Christ. What would you do if this happened to you?

God has let me know this spiritual truth that it's heaven or hell for everyone and I Do Not want anyone to be lost or spend an eternity in hell! Can't you see that I must share what I know to be true with others now as I will be held accountable by God if I do not?

The truth of Christianity is Jesus himself, he is the messiah and risen Lord!!

I think all the time, especially about how I can reach out to others who are lost and need to know the truth about Jesus.

True Christianity is based on the truth found in scripture, and receiving the risen Christ as your own personal savior. Jesus is the only one who saves a mans soul from eternal damnation. If you want to be free from the power of sin in your life, I have tried to point the way to the one who can save you!

Daydreaming isn't the type of thinking Moochie was talking about. We have aready seen how you react when you are challenged to honestly consider any piece of information that might possibly conflict with the fantasy world you have adopted.

True Christianity is based on the truth found in scripture, and receiving the risen Christ as your own personal savior.

How do you know what is true or not in your bible? You haven't read it, after all.

Are you up for another challenge? We can compare the epistle of James to the epistles of Paul for a better look at the conflicting views of what is required of Christians.

"Sin" doesn't have any power in my life. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I can't speak for everyone on this forum, but I doubt you'll find too many child molesters, wife-beaters, or serial killers among us. What types of sins do you think people are committing? Probably a whole bunch of things that don't really harm other people, if I had to guess.

But you just have to smack the label of "SIN" on it, and then tell people they're going to burn for eternity for doing it, unless they take your way out.

Jesus didn't need to die a horrible death for all those people who would have sex before marriage or gossip about their neighbors or think lustful thoughts about celebrities. Talk about getting the crappy end of that deal. And if he died so that real evildoers like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer could commit atrocities on this earth and still get to heaven, then I'd say Jesus got the really crappy end of that deal. Let the Dahmers and Bundys of this earth pay for their own crimes.

Okay sc now you know why they call repentance a gift, not everyone like you gets it. I will pray the Lord opens your eyes to the fact that sin is real and all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I do need to ask you not to judge others for their sins as only God is allowed to do this and we are warned in the Bible not to do this. I can only share with you those things in the Bible God says are sins against him in hopes you could feel remorse for the things you know you did? I feel horrible for my sins and this is the way the holy spirit reaches us, we repent and do not want to do the things we once did outside of Christ. It's hard to put into words as it is truly a spiritual awakening that only God can do for a person. My theme song is still, "Amazing Grace."

The topic of Christianity has always fascinated men, but only the redeemed of the Lord can shout for joy and share with others the way to know God and have a personal relationship with him. It's not about religion, it's about relationship!

Yes yes yes. We all know that you think almost solely that which you've been taught.

But have you ever thought about it?

I can't believe I'm quoting KK, as I often think: Why do people even try with her. It's clear she's not going to change her mind. But here goes...

Is this that whole "judge not lest you be judged" stuff? I thought that meant that you shouldn't judge unless you are prepared to be judged. Well, I'm prepared. Judge away.

Or "correct" me in the meaning of that verse...

Can you just give me an example of sin against god? How am I committing sins against an imaginary being anyway? In all serious, please just provide a couple of examples of things you think I might be doing, or things that you have done, that are so horrific that the only possible godly punishment is eternal torment, and the only possible redemption is seeking forgiveness in the person/god who died a horrible death in your place?

I'm not out there raping, killing, beating, or stealing. Neither are the vast majority of people populating this planet. What are some specific horrible sins that people are committing against god, and which - in your view - are the cause of all the pain and suffering in the world? Just a short list. Three or four items. Thanks.

I'm a fornicator, if that helps. :p

Remind me, what where those seven deadly sins? How many have you broken in just this thread?

Pride. The original deadly sin. You don't need to break any others if you break this one - it's the sin of Satan himself.
