Which are the the easy ones about which there has never arisen any controversy amongst the faithful or the cynical?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever puts their trust in Him will never perish, but will have everlasting life."

Havent seen too much controversy on that one. I have a few more available if you want to see em.

Are you kidding? This is THE bone of contention between orthodox jews and modern christians. Jews generally think this is a terrible idea--to forgive sin is to tolerate sin, and invite more of it. When jews speak of "salvation through works", which is a phrase you may have heard bandied about, they mean as opposed to through the agency of accepting christ.
