John 6:44 "Noone can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him and I will raise him up on the last day". Why do preachers tell us if we say a little prayer we can be saved? Salvation is NOT by works, we are DRAWN by the Father! HE CHOSE BELIEVERS, WE DIDN"T CHOOSE HIM!

  • Your salvation.......?

    Did you have ANYTHING to do with it as the Arminians believe.....or is it all God.

    If you say "I accepted Jesus", you are an Arminian.

  • Theology question.?

    What do YOU think? Is man born completely drenched in sin or is he half and half.

    Why do people assume they are righteous with out Christ?

  • Roman Catholics:?

    Are you glad you can read your bible in english? Thank a protestant!

    William Tyndale translated the bible to english. Then Roman Catholic Cardinal Wolsey had found him, turned him into the court of Henry VIII and was burned at the stake.

    His last words were, Lord open the eyes of the King of England.

    So the next time you, as a Roman Catholic, open your bible think of the dying words of William Tyndale and how he was brutally murdered by the papacy of the antichrist!

    Now that "regular folks" didn't have to have the bible translated from a priest, they could find out for themselves that grace is thru faith and the catholic church has been preaching blasphemy for its entirety.

    Why else would the pope have William Tyndale killed?

    He exposed what a fake the papacy was and still is today.

    From the prophet Hosea...."My people will perish from a lack of knowledge"!

  • Thoughts on salvation?

    I'm not asking about "getting saved". The act of getting saved and salvation are two totally different things.

    I'm asking for YOUR thoughts, not wikipedias answer, to what salvation actually means.

  • Why is it that American christianity teaches...?

    ...that if you say this prayer you will be saved. It is not a formula! Where does this come from? IT IS NOT BIBLICAL! When Jesus stands at the door and knocks, He is referring to a CHURCH, NOT A PERSON!

    Why has the teaching of the church fallen to this watered down, weak gospel?

    John 6:44 teaches that noone comes to Christ unless the Father calls him first. Why do churches teach that if you say this formula you'll be saved?

    When did we as a people become so biblically ignorant?

  • How could anybody with a sane mind disagree with "sola Scriptura"?

    Justification alone by faith alone. Why would anyone who claims christianity try to deny these claims?

  • Americans that don't believe in a creator of any kind.?

    The Declaration of Independence, created and signed by our founding fathers, refer to our Creator over 15 times in the Dec of Ind, and also in the Bill of Rights.

    Whether you believe in "God" the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or not, how can you stand living here when all of our laws and principles are based on the idea of God, our Creator.

    Just wondering.

  • Kunte Kinte?

    For those without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God, don't you see how you are slaves to sin and ultimately Satan just like Kunte Kinte on "Massa Jenkins" plantation?

    As a former atheist, I remember how free I thought I was but it's a false sense of freedom!

    The road to destruction is wide, most people choose it but the way to salvation is narrow! Most atheist think they are in good company with their views (so did I) but you are no different than the rest of the world. In trying to be "different", you've become like the majority of the world!

    So my question.... How does it feel to be a slave?...........

  • Your thoughts. The case for a Creator.?

    If you were taking a walk on a beach and saw a big heart drawn in the sand that says "so and so loves so and so", you wouldn't assume that the ocean tide drew this would you. (of course not)

    This finding is INFORMATION. For us to have information, someone has had to come up with it.

    Our DNA is nothing but a giant data sheet about us and what we are made up of. It's INFORMATION! It's simple proof of a Creator! I realize this won't transform everone to Christianity, but people that believe in no "higher power" (atheists) at all should consider this.

  • Why the confusion?

    Luke 12:51

    Jesus... Tree hugger? Think again!?

    "Do you think I came to bring peace on eart? NO, but DIVISION"

    Jesus, being God, was smart enough to know that there will be no peace on earth until He ushers it in! He wants to know who is on His side, whose got His back, and who is going to fight evil face to face and call it what it is!

    I know not everyone, but a vast majority believes he was a peace lovin', tree huggin, hippy spreading nothing but hippy values.

    I love the idea of peace as much as the next guy, but it hasn't been here for at least 6 or 7000 yrs. Why would it change now.

    It won't until He ushers in His kingdom!

    Ther are 2 sides, which side are you on?

  • Jesus... Tree hugger? Think again!?

    Luke 12:51

    Do you think I came to bring peace to earth? NO! I tell you, but DIVISION....

    Jesus from His walking on this earth to now is finding out whose "got His back". Who is willing to enlist in His army. Who wants to stand up against evil, look it in the face, and fight against it.

    Why do a big majority think he was a tree huggin' wussy!

  • Romans 3:23?

    Paul tells us through illumination of the Holy Spirit that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

    Catholics say Mary never sinned.

    The bible says one thing, the catholic church says another,

    which one do you trust?

    I'm not trying to fight with Catholics, I was raised catholic and the rest of my 5 bros and sis's are still catholic. I just want you to be sure of your faith and be able to defend it WITH FACTS, not just "that's what i've always believed" answers.

  • Roman Catholics, why the add?

    No shouting match, just logical, level headed answers please.

    The catholic bible has 7 more books called the apocrypha(which means added or hidden)

    The jewish old testament has ALWAYS denied these books, Jesus or any other author in the NT has NEVER quoted from these books, Jerome in 452 ad said that they were ok but the church didn't ok them until the council of Trent in the 1500's.

    (Around the time indulgences were being sold)

    indulgence: A grace that was bought to keep yourself or family members out of Purgatory. ( I thought grace was a free gift)

    Revelations tells us that anyone who adds or takes away from these books will be damned (paraphrase).

    So my question is WHY DID THE CHURCH ADD THEM?!

  • R U Ready For Your Court Date?

    If you are guilty of a crime and are in a court of law and the judge says "The court needs $50,000.00 and you can go, if not, you have JAIL time to be served. If you don't have 50 g's you're in the pokey brother/sister! If the judge says "I know you don't have the cash so I'll let you go", he's a bad judge.

    We have a debt (sin) that we cannot pay ourselves. The "universalists" say, God will let everybody into heaven because of His mercy! They are 1/2 right.

    Because of Gods mercy He sent His son to us so that we can be with Him in eternity! It's very simple stuff to understand. Take the religion out of it and look deep.

  • Sin or no sin?

    Something for people who don't believe in sin to think about...

    If there is no such thing as sin, then why do we own keys? We lock up the stuff that is important to us for what reason?
