The problem with the bad sects of hoss and metmom is that it just leads to more bad sects so they keep jumping from one group to another, from one crazy type of sect to the other. It's like an addiction.
But what is really funny is that none of these groups say anything about what THEY believe or do, just hides behind shouts and insults.
This is a standard leftist tactic to hurl insults at Christians and The Church and hide what they believe Tell us, hoss, metmom, what does your group believe in?
- Does your group believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
- Does your group believe in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Son of God, Eternally Begotten of the Father, begotten, not made, ONE in being with the Father, through whom all things was made
- Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, was born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit. That God truly became human in Jesus Christ.
- Does your group believe as we Christians do, that Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God or does your group believe that He was a spirit or ghost
- Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried or does your group believe that Jesus was not crucified or died, but was spirited away?
- Does your group believe that for our sake Jesus Christ our Lord, God and Savior rose again in fulfilment of the scriptures?
- Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, ascended into heaven?
- Does your group believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life? Who is Lord and God and worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son?
Cronos,
I believe all the 8 points you enumerated.
Sounds like basic Christian doctrine to me.
But I am not a member of a “sect” or “movement” or “denomination”.
Just a Bible reader.
When I was a young Christian, I encountered a verse I didn’t understand. I brought it to the preacher, and he asked, “Are you going to live that verse today?”
I asked, “How can I live it if I don’t even understand it?” I was hoping he would give me an explanation.
Instead he said, “Then focus on living the verses that you do understand, and if you manage to do that, perhaps the Lord will open your eyes to understand some of the deeper mysteries.”
Best advice I ever got.
