I think the line is well drawn between us.

You believe that Christ created the Universe, and that Christ gave the Ten Commandments to Moses.

Why? Beats me, but I gather it has something to do with your understanding of the nature of God the Father/Creator and God the Son.

I believe the God the Father/Creator created the universe, and God the Father/Creator gave Moses the Ten Commandments.

Are we ever going to agree about this? Not likely.

Do I think your belief that Christ created the universe is heresy? Yes. Without dispute or equivocation.

Sorry, but we all can't just get along.

There is only One God. Believe it or don't, you won't change that.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for your post, but truly I can't believe you said this:

Helping other people is the essence of Christianity, is my opinion. I realize this is anathema to Protestants, but for the life of me I don't know why.

Of course, I will now go looking for the statistics on missionary outreach, prison ministries, AIDS ministries, etc. Protestant v Catholic. Jeepers...

My mind is already on Franklin Graham's mission, the Salvation Army, Gideon's International, hospitals, orphanages ...

[ALS]

That's it? Is that how you address your comments?

Just that ONE problem is all you have?

Nothing like we want hookers to die and beggars to starve?
Nothing like that?

[CobaltBlue]

Explain to you? Whatever for? You scoff at God.

[ALS]

Could you show us where God said or even implied this?

"This is what happens when you tell people that they can read the Bible and figure it all out for themselves. Endless iterations of heresy."

[CobaltBlue]

Do you want hookers to die and beggers to starve?

How quaint.

[ALS]

"Explain to you? Whatever for? You scoff at God."

Oh you got me there. That's why I own DesignedUniverse and AbortionDebate.org, which by the way, if you go take a look, has a post right in the front by a catholic. Causing you several problems with your "christians are catholic bashers" ploy, to get attention.

[CobaltBlue]

I don't believe that there is any passage in the Bible that discusses heresy, per se. If your argument is that therefore there is no such thing as heresy, more power to you, but I think that contradicts the teachings of Christ.

[ALS]

My argument?

who said this?

"This is what happens when you tell people that they can read the Bible and figure it all out for themselves. Endless iterations of heresy."

[CobaltBlue]

I have the utmost respect for Franklin Graham. Would that all Protestants were cut from the same cloth.

[CobaltBlue]

ALS - if you don't comprehend heresy, there's not a thing in this world that I can do to help you.

You can shake it, you can bake it, you can fake it, but you just can't change it.

[bondserv]

Do I think your belief that Christ created the universe is heresy?

Heb 1:8
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.

[ALS]

Is that your new "argument"?

What happened to the old ones where regular folk shouldn't read the bible, and protestants don't care about anyone, etc., etc., ad nausaum?

[CobaltBlue]

Time for sleep, otherwise will be miserable in church tomorrow.

Sad that Christians all can't just get along, but the truth is the truth.

[gore3000]

There is only one God.

Then you should not be attacking other Christians.

[CobaltBlue]

ALS - I understand that you have to make it up as you go along in order to justify your own existence. You are off on your own reality without any input from me.

Please write if you get work.

[CobaltBlue]

I am not attacking other Christians.

[ALS]

"Helping other people is the essence of Christianity, is my opinion. I realize this is anathema to Protestants, but for the life of me I don't know why."

sleep on that

[CobaltBlue]

Christ the Savior did not create the universe. That is heresy. Sorry if you don't want to hear that, but it's true.

God the Father created the universe. Deal with it.
