Liberals believe in diversity as long as you believe just like them. The world only curses in the name of Jesus Christ. Think about it.
Liberals aren’t that big a puzzle. They just want power. And that’s why God’s such a problem for them. He’s the Power and they know it. And Jesus really hacks them off, because He took their form, and He’s so much better than them that they can’t even conceive it.
The old adage: if it gets in your way, kill it.
Dreadful stats, indeed.
INDEED.
From the parents I have talk to...it does seem to be financial reasons.
God bless
Negative. You talk to it, relate to it, hug it, pet it, and when it is most inattentive, then you kill it.
Heck, anyone can go to Heaven, even non-Christians - long as they believe in Jesus.
“God Spot”??????? From an NPR twit no less. Clearly these people are either completely whacked and scientifically illiterate, or they’ve been hitting the crack pipe big time. Aw... it’s probably both.
Aren’t these the same people that believe near death experiences are due to hypoxia or CO2 buildup.
REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER destroys individuals and the church.
IMHO, EVERY Christian parent should read:
ATTACHMENTS: WHY YOU LOVE, FEEL AND ACT THE WAY YOU DO
by Dr.s Tim Clinton and Gary Sibcy.
imho, there’s two basic reasons Christian parents lose their children to satan . . .
1. They do NOT live the Biblical Christian life about relationships before and with their children.
2. They provoke them to wrath contrary to Scripture and usually unnecessarily—usually over pride issues related to the parents’ own ATTACHMENT DISORDER junk.
3. They discipline—usually too harshly, rigidly, sternly WITHOUT SUFFICIENT RELATIONSHIP to support it. That WILL result in rebellion.
God have mercy.
Then when congregations are made up of parents who are dropping so many Biblical balls on relationship and Christian walk stuff in the normal life of the church—kids will normally say to themselves—if THAT’S what Christianity is—no thanks, that stinks.
And it too often does stink, horribly.
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Case closed. If you believe that there are other ways to heaven than Jesus, then Jesus died in vain.
Several of the parents I have talked to as a youth leader fail to see what scripture teaches about the role they are to have as a parent. Most are more concerned with what kind of career their child will have instead of if the child loves God... they figure that will come later. They normally respond in horror when I make the statement “I don't care if my sons dig ditches the rest of their lives as long as they love God”.
As a culture we need to return to “BEING the church” instead of “DOING church”. As Americans we tend to separate out different parts of our lives from the other parts...but all parts of our lives add up to our lives and impact all parts of our lives.
Live for God
The odd thing is, I came to this thread today not using my usual browser.
As a result I didn’t know the bookmark labeled “Free Republic” would take me to this old post of mine ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1964353/posts?page=72#72 ) in a thread titled: “Jesus was an Iconoclast”.
Where that post dovetailed with your OP rather nicely was early on when I wrote: “But this isn’t an age of zealousness in the world. Rather it is an age of apostasy. Can one be too narrow? Certainly! But narrowness isn’t the big issue of the day: it is broadness. We live in a culture here in America, and even more so in other parts of the West, where simply be doctrinally straight is considered being narrow and dogmatic.”
There is a problem for that statement if taken at face value for it says that even the demons believe, and tremble even as they do so.
INDEED. VERY WELL PUT.
THX.
Demons aren’t people, they don’t have access to saving grace. They made their choice long ago and are stuck with it. However even the vilest human can receive forgiveness and eternal life just by asking for it (and really meaning it, of course). Osama bin Laden can be saved if he wants it, but Satan and his demons can’t.
I’m glad that your earlier post wasn’t “at face value” (because it did not make any point about what is required to receive redemption clear but seemed as if it could indicate that mere intellectual belief was sufficient ... thus my comment).
Aw come on! Katy saw “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Twice!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All DOGS go to heaven because dog backwards spells God and there’s a little bit of God’s unconditional love in every dog.
[Even Pit Bulls, Chet99!]
Dog Whisperer? Is that you? I kinda like your show although I do think it gets a little sloppy sentimental over an animal.
I am no Dog Whisperer. I just know dogs and haven’t met one I didn’t like.
I’ve never even watched the show.
If I ever won the lottery I’d set up an animal rescue.
