what the bible dosnt tell you is that before jesus was nailed to the cross, he was given a small dose of the T-virus, thus he was enabled to rise from the dead :)

Churches have been presenting the bible as fact to Billions of people for hundreds of years.

Even though it is an impossible story, it's too late to change such a tradition.

swazidoughman


Oh but it is. Look at the Jefferson Bible. He rewrote the Bible to contain nothing but the morality. He removed all the super-natural elements and myths. I still have to read it, and am looking forward to reading it without all the myth and silliness.

And considering the influx of agnostic thought over the past 200 years, I wouldn't be surprised if fundamentalist gnostic religion begins to die out over the next 100 years. In the west at least.

No, they are not. They believe salvation is through faith AND works - not just faith.

Christianity is by definition "the religion derived from Jesus Christ, based on the Bible as sacred scriptur". Catholicism meets that description. A Christian by definition is "one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ". Catholics meet that description. Thus it can be concluded that Catholics are indeed Christians.


(John 3:3)- "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Christians are people who have been born again. Ephesians 2:8-9 says it is grace, through faith which saves you, where, in contrast, Catholics say works and faith save you. However, Isaiah 64:6 says that all of our righteous deeds are as "filthy rags" in God's sight.

We can't both be right. If it is works and faith, I'm not a Christian. If it's faith, I am. Who's right? According to the Bible, my belief on this matter is, as explained clearly in Ephesians 2:8-9, and supported by Isaiah 64:6. There are some Catholics who are Christians, yes - but they are few.

If faith is in the heart of a person, he automatically does good. For example, if a person says ' I believe in God and His commands'. He then goes about killing people. What kind of faith is this? This clearly shows that he is only showing that he has faith while actually he has none. If he had faith he would have followed God's commands. Hence, faith and actions are inter-linked. Good actions may be done without belief but belief without good actions is incomplete(for that automatically implies that belief is not perfect).

The Bible makes it clear we are all evil, Mfaraz. I am, you are, everyone on this sight is. Obviously, sins are viewed in somewhat different lights, yes. But good works cannot save you. Because I deserve Hell just as much as a murderer. Because every human being on this planet is evil.

And this is exactly why I am not a Christian. And according to my morality, I am the complete opposite of evil.

My best freind isdeciding if he wants to become a Catholic preist or not. Are you saying he is not a Christian? He is the most devout Christian I have ever known. How dare you. You don't get to decide who is a Christian and who is not just because of slight theological disagreement.

Catholisim and Protestantism are both Christianity. They are both Christianity with some differences. Stop being an elitist.

IndigoSunrise


He could be a Christian. There are some Catholics who are Christians, though the majority are not.

How dare I? I dare because the Word of the Almighty God says so. It says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith...not of works, lest any man should boast." If you think your filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) can get you to Heaven, I am afraid you are grossly mistaken. Because they cannot!

Anyone ever think that the fantastical events in the bible are metaphors or something like that ?

CellAnimation

I'm pretty sure the fundies don't. ;)

Until someone mentions these:

Psalms 93:1 "The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established so that it cannot be moved."

So the world doesn't move?

Some people actually take the Bible that literally.

Sounds like an interesting read actually.

Could be a way to test if Churches are truly teaching morals or just making some cash off of a story.

If jesus ever existed (which I doubt) he was either not dead or he simply didn't rise from the dead. But what the hell, imo religion is useless at it's best, dangerous at it's worst.

I can't lie, it makes me sick to my stomach. I don't lust, beyond the natural bounds of human sexuality. I don't steal, if I don't earn it, I am not entitled to it. I do not have "evil thoughts" because I treat other humans with respect and am of a healthy mind.

I find it amazing how you are so easily able to pass judgement on me and call me "evil." I find that to be very un-Christian of you. Jesus must be spinning in his grave.

No, they are not. They believe salvation is through faith AND works - not just faith.

Not that I'm Catholic or anything but...

"Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself." James 2:17


Yes, faith without works is dead. Because they do not love their Savior enough to try and serve Him.

They are carnal and weak Christians.

The Catholic Church teaches faith + works. Not just works. Also, members of said church are taught to back up their faith with works in order to have fully satisfied the Law of God. Do you disagree with that?

I'm still waiting for a reply to my previous post, Crush.

Even if you prove from the Bible that some evil desire equals murdering.......yet fact remains.........when you murder, you are inflicting damage on others.......where as with evil desires, damage is not being inflicted on others. Hence, the overall damage of murder will be greater than that of any desire.

Even evilness( I am not sure whether this is an actual word) has degrees. Are those who are less evil equal to those who are more evil?

Christians are people who have been born again. Ephesians 2:8-9 says it is grace, through faith which saves you, where, in contrast, Catholics say works and faith save you. However, Isaiah 64:6 says that all of our righteous deeds are as "filthy rags" in God's sight.

All Catholics are Christian, not all Christians are Catholic. Its really not that difficult to understand, think of it this way pretend your a square, that makes you a rectangle by extention. If you are a rectangle then you may be a square but you dont have to be (you may have unequal sides). I hope this 1st grade metaphore isnt over your head :|

Crushmaster


No, it's not derived from Him. It is a cult-religion from Satan himself.

Yes, they do profess a belief in the teachings of Christ. But a profession does not save you. Grace, through faith in Christ is what saves you.

I'm not even going to argue with you anymore. As an Atheist you have offended me immensly. A Cult Religion from Satan himself? Whatever dude. I hope someday you'll cast off your double think and your self inflicted nerousis.

So before protestantism or your fundamentlism did the majority of people in catholic and islamic countries go to hell? How could they have known that their religion was wrong? I don't recall Protestism being a direct result of Jesus's teachings. If I recall it came AFTER Catholism.

Based on what exactly?Dutch_Mix

On the 27th of March I prayed to Dibella, the goddess of love, in the game at one of her weyshrines and two days later I met my girlfriend in real life. If I were the religious type, I would be convinced they exist. There is more evidence for me to believe Dibella is real than any "real" religion. As far as I am concerned, they are all fiction.

[QUOTE="Crushmaster"]Your morality? Really? Have you ever lied, lusted, stolen, had evil thoughts? Crushmaster


I can't lie, it makes me sick to my stomach. I don't lust, beyond the natural bounds of human sexuality. I don't steal, if I don't earn it, I am not entitled to it. I do not have "evil thoughts" because I treat other humans with respect and am of a healthy mind.

I find it amazing how you are so easily able to pass judgement on me and call me "evil." I find that to be very un-Christian of you. Jesus must be spinning in his grave.


Excepts He's not there.

So, you're telling me you have never done anything wrong in your entire life?

Of course he has. Of course I have. We all have done evil in life, whether we want to admit to it or not. Including, despite your holier-than-thou attitude, yourself. You have no right to pass theological judgement on a human being, much as I have no right to pass theological judgement on a human being because you ARE human. You are flawed, just as I am, just as Jesus was, just as the authors of the Bible were, and just as every single human prophet, Christian or otherwise, was.

The Catholic Church teaches faith + works. Not just works. Also, members of said church are taught to back up their faith with works in order to have fully satisfied the Law of God. Do you disagree with that?

I'm still waiting for a reply to my previous post, Crush.Dutch_Mix


Faith+works does not equal salvation. Grace+faith in Christ does.

And, yes, I do disagree with that. My Savior's Blood is quite enough to fully satisfy the Law of God. Filthy rags cannot save me.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]Is Catholicism derived from Jesus Christ? Do Catholics profess a belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ?

No, it's not derived from Him. It is a cult-religion from Satan himself.

Yes, they do profess a belief in the teachings of Christ. But a profession does not save you. Grace, through faith in Christ is what saves you.

Indeed, Protestantism in general was another interpretation of the Bible. The same type of activity (because the Bible, as he claims, is theological truth) he is so far against.

[QUOTE="IndigoSunrise"]My best freind isdeciding if he wants to become a Catholic preist or not. Are you saying he is not a Christian? He is the most devout Christian I have ever known. How dare you. You don't get to decide who is a Christian and who is not just because of slight theological disagreement.

Catholisim and Protestantism are both Christianity. They are both Christianity with some differences. Stop being an elitist.

Crushmaster


He could be a Christian. There are some Catholics who are Christians, though the majority are not.

How dare I? I dare because the Word of the Almighty God says so. It says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith...not of works, lest any man should boast." If you think your filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) can get you to Heaven, I am afraid you are grossly mistaken. Because they cannot!

That scripture seems to be discouraging arrogance and "works" as in labor and gaining material goods or wealth buying one into heaven.. I will tell you right now with utmost sincerity the most amazing, honorable, admirable characteristic of Christianity I have ever witnessed is their willingness to help others. I think that is the best teaching of the lord. And is what defines a true Christian in my book, as previously stated faith alone is nothing without good works. (works as in deeds, not labor).
