Subject: Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? |
Bible Note: 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 |
