1 | Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? | 2 Cor 10:3 | BradK | 118376 | ||
kalos, It might depend upon what "is" is! The art of obfuscation has been fairly well developed as you well know:-) In all seriousness, there are some rather vague and flowering Personal Profiles that say NOTHING of the individual or their beliefs but ramble on about doctrine, beliefs, etc. I see this as skirting the issue, but... I guess in a perfect world, a profile would say something specific about that individual and then, what they believe. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? | 2 Cor 10:3 | bstudent | 118480 | ||
"Skirting the issue?" As you are hopefully well aware, there are only two religions - true and false. I believe I can defend "the way" Scripturally, but more importantly, the "proof is in the pudding." Speaking of "vague and flowering," - "speaking the truth in love?" I guess that depends on what "truth" is, and what "love" is. Knowledge puffs up, love builds up. Any obscuring going on is through those who will not discuss Bible truth, but prefer to debate about opinions. |

3 | Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? | 2 Cor 10:3 | CDBJ | 118502 | ||
Hello bstudent, Hay, why don’t you try to convince the Astudent to join the forum? I was always under the impression that Christianity wasn’t actually a religion but a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ, is that true or false? In religion man does all the work and tries to gain the approbation of God by his good efforts or deeds and as a result man is “supposed” to get the credit. In Christianity God does all the work through His Son, and man has the opportunity, with out merit, to believe that God provided the solution for eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ and God gets all the credit! Am I right or wrong about this? I was only a Cstudent at best, CDBJ |

Cplusstudent: You deserve at least a Cplus for making a good point. I should have put "religion" in quotes, but my statement implies your sentiment that Christianity is the truth rather than a "religion." But just as there may in reality be only one God, the fact is there our many "gods" worshiped,(1 Cor 8:5)so too, even truth must be differentiated from among the worlds "religions." I thoroughly disagree with your definition of Christianity in your last paragraph. The New Testament is replete with contradictions to the concepts of "unconditional love" and "once saved, always saved." My favorite: "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." (Hebrews 6:4-6) If these verses do not suffice to overturn these strongly entrenched notions, then another 50 won't help either. Bstudent |
