ExFlyer Posted July 4, 2022 Report Posted July 4, 2022 4 hours ago, blackbird said: That's fine. That's your choice. But we know from your words how much you hate Biblical Christianity. So it would be difficult for you to hide that fact now. Christians are among the most persecuted people on the planet and thousands lose their lives every month in some countries. Just an added fact, the Devil loves people who hate Christians and people who never point out evil. One must wonder about people who call themselves Christians while they never say anything negative about the evil in the world and the world loves them for it. Of course they won't be persecuted much in places like Canada, but will be commended by a secular humanist population. Religion, the root of almost all wars in human history.

If you mean pushing LGBT agenda on everyone, I don't think anyone sees that as a right. 3. If you mean teaching children in schools that LGBT is normal, I don't think most people would agree with that and most of the population has never even been asked. 1. Equality before the law and freedom from harassment and violence. 2. It's called freedom of expression. 3. I don't think that they teach morality in sexual orientation either way. And no, you aren't "asked" but the public of course gives input to education. Conservative views are well organized and have a lot of say, which by the way DOESN'T mean that they get exactly what they want.

Salvation Conditioned Upon Faith Alone In the New Testament in about 115 passages, the salvation of a sinner is declared to depend only upon believing and in about 35 passages to depend on faith, which is a synonym for believing. Unquote -Major Bible Themes from Lewis Sperry Chafer, revised by John F. Walvoord. Quote Verse Thoughts The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked and many interpret this verse to insist that being 'doers of the law' equates to keeping specific commandments or obeying certain rules, without understanding the shocking context of this verse. It is the general principle of 'law' and not a reference to specific commandments that is referred to here.. for the Bible, tells us that: by works of the law shall no man living be justified. And yet those that are trapped in legalism insist that this verse requires us to keep the Law of Moses; to maintain strict adherence to denomination rules and regulation or adhere to a self-imposed code of conduct.. in order to be justified. But this is not what Paul is referring to when he says: for it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. We are not justified by carrying out the ten commandments, adherence to denomination requirements or self-imposed regulation, for in many places Scripture warns us that: by the works of the law will no man living be justified. However we are frequently reminded that we are justified by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Christ - alone. For almost three chapters Paul is hammering home this vital truth that nothing we can do can make us righteous before God - nothing. And he insists in many of his epistles that justification is not dependent on what WE do, but rests entirely upon what Christ has DONE - for we have all sinned and we all fall short of His perfect standard. One by one Paul is laying out hard-hitting principles that no one is righteous before God. His clear, logical argument condemns all. The immoral man, the moral person and religious people are all guilty before God. There are none that do good in the eyes of the Lord, not even one. This indictment of all humanity concludes that every mouth is silenced before the righteousness of God - And THEN Paul starts to give the good news of salvation - that we are justified by believing on the the finished work of Christ. It is by faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus alone, that man is justified. unquote What Does Romans 2:13 Mean? (knowing-jesus.com) "8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. " Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV "19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God} 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over} 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. " Romans 3:19-26 KJV "5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" Titus 3:5 KJV Quote

blackbird Posted July 4, 2022 Report Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) 32 minutes ago, ExFlyer said: Religion, the root of almost all wars in human history. We heard that many times, but Biblical Christianity is not "religion" in the sense of what 98 % of what the world believes. Most "religion" in the world is false and yes there have been many wars fought over false religion, but many wars have been fought for various other reasons besides religion. The world wars in the 20th century had little to nothing to do with religion. The atheist Communist killed about 100 million people in Russia and China in their Communist revolutions; again nothing to do with religion. The present war of Russia invading the Ukraine has nothing to do with religion. Napoleon's wars across Europe had nothing to do with religion. Most wars were about imperialism and conquering land or territory and people. Secondly, biblical Christianity opposes wars and killing. So you are dead wrong if you are talking about biblical Christianity. Jesus brought a message of peace and his kingdom is not of this world. His message is to be spread by peace. Islam is different. It was spread throughout the middle east and north Africa by wars and conquering. That's why it is sarcastically called the Religion of Peace. But nations have a right to defend themselves against aggressors as Ukraine is doing. But to get back to your main point claiming the root of almost all wars is religion, that is false. The root of all wars is a fallen corrupt human heart. Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, all their descendants have a corrupt, wicked heart as the Bible says. That is the real reason for wars and all the rest of the evil in the world. If you had studied the Bible at all, you would know that. Edited July 4, 2022 by blackbird Quote
