Christianity 101
Doctrine of men 101.


Please stop going to gotquestions.com for your answers . Their approach to understanding the scriptures and the one it testifies of is one of having their minds already made up what it says and means.



It is because God is holy he can get past man(mankind) fallen from his glory to implement a plan to bring him back to his former glory. Ths plan was to reveal the true identity of man to himself........ His true identity is Jesus Christ.

As I’ve told you before, I was a Christian long before gotquestions.org. They are simply an organization of traditional Christian thought and helpful to many.

Yes, Jesus was God in flesh. I encourage you to read ALL his words.

You are known for linking them or quoting them often on here, which in my mind is odd if you have been a bible believer for such a long time with a relationship to Jesus.

I encourage you to listen to them with an open mind instead of what you have been taught they mean, instead of flat out rejecting everything that is contrary to what you have been taught they mean.

Again, gotquestions has endeavored to organize traditional Christian, Biblical thought. No need to reinvent the wheel. People quote websites here every day.

Your insinuation that I am unable to think about these things on my own is tiring and weak.

I think if you said Gotquestions has endeavored to organize christianity into accepting what they say is the final word on truth, i would agree. I also think you do lean heavily on gotquestions, they say it, it's got to be right. Are there things on the website that you do not agree with at all, like the doctrine of eternal hell, eternal separation, being saved from a literal hell, what actually is the good news and so forth?.

Isn't that delicious irony?
I know it isn’t so, but my beef is with those that believe the nonsense and can still believe a god that would do such horrific nonsense, is good and worthy of admiration and praise. It defies common sense and decent morality.

God is love, so He sent His Son to pay our sin debt, so that we might be made right again with our Creator. If we accept this gift, we are turned to the right path towards becoming what God desires us to be and are promised eternal life with Him and life abundant.

Christianity 101
Nothing but religious BS. No, we are not corrupted. We are human, good and bad. And less you got demonstrable evidence, no god sent his son to die for anything. You just choose to believe the nonsense on faith.

Seriously? You don’t see that our world is broken? Why are we trying every day to fix it?

Fundie religionists broke most of it. When they're extinct, the world will heal.
