This would be something you would know nothing of, it's spiritual, the scripture says we must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
There are many spiritual people I know who are Buddhists, Hindu, atheists, etc. You don't have to be a Christian to be spiritual.

How easy it is without all the evil corruptions of our primitive ancestors' beliefs, pcamps! There are no obstacles to Christ. He is available to all and there are no conditions except agape love. Love God and each other every day and repent whenever you don't and you are golden! You will not do anything wrong if you do that.

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"


Do we agree with Paul on this?
God news that the Kingdom of God is near, within you.

Your truth. Not everybody's. Political correctness has nothing to do with it.

Just to clarify ...what is it, precisely, that Jesus is saving humans from ...is He saving them from the wrath of God? If so, why doesn't God just withdraw His wrath?

Seems to me it would be more workable and a heap more simpler.

* This was a question brought to the table at my last Home Group Meet-up.

The ideologies of human justice prevails? An eye, for an eye?

^^^^^ :d

He literally quoted Scripture defining the Gospel. Amazing how many people can't simply rejoice at the love of God but have to add their own non-Biblical spin.

God is good. He saves sinners.

You realize, of course, that this is literally the "Christianity" forum. No one is suggesting your friends aren't spiritual, whatever that means...but are they Christians?
