Christian Unity on Free Republic [Vanity]

Lately, there seems to be a lot of conflict on the religion forum. Much of this has been between Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox. To show that we are all united as Christians and to reduce animosity, I hope we can all agree to one of 4 following statements:

1) I am Catholic. I love Orthodox and Protestant Christians. I consider Orthodox Christians and Protestants to definitely be Christian. All Christians need to work together to defeat our common enemies-- specifically Islam, liberal postmodernism, and totalitarian communism.

2) I am Protestant. I love Orthodox and Catholic Christians. I consider Orthodox Christians and Catholics to definitely be Christian. All Christians need to work together to defeat our common enemies-- specifically Islam, liberal postmodernism, and totalitarian communism.

3) I am an Orthodox Christian. I love Catholic and Protestant Christians. I consider Catholics and Protestants to definitely be Christian. All Christians need to work together to defeat our common enemies-- specifically Islam, liberal postmodernism, and totalitarian communism.

4) I am a non-believer. I love Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christians. I consider Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and Protestants to definitely be Christian. All Christians need to work together to defeat our common enemies-- specifically Islam, liberal postmodernism, and totalitarian communism.

I feel confident that most freepers agree to at least one of these statements, even if they do not say so.

If you agree with any of these statements, please feel free to say so.

Thanks!

Evidently your congregation must be a fetid arrogant theological swamp.

Never heard such from my uncle.

They may falsely believe that speaking in tongues is the only reliable evidence of being “Filled with Holy Spirit,”

however.

chill with the snark. It's unbecoming.

THANKS:

28Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6

“14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” - Mark 1

“30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” - John 20

[Quix]

Toooooooooo accurate to some attitudes & beliefs!

Thx.

[Quix]

No more serious than your

GROSS distortions of God’s Word.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Thanks for your concern. I put my whole trust in Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of all mankind. He alone is my savior, and in Him I put my faith. He’ll judge me.

May God bless you.

30Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. 34Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.” - Acts 16

[Quix]

Thanks for your exhortation.

[JohnnyM]

I believe some of the confusion comes from a misinterpretation of Eph 2:8. The Calvinists interpret this as faith being a gift of God, but the gift of God in this passage is salvation and not faith.

religious bigots

Why, how perfectly civil of you.

Yup: almost IDENTICAL DNA!

When I listen closely the bells of familiarity go off and the arrival time was just about right.

When he judges you, he will ask you of this moment. When you had the truth presented to you and you turned away.

Read the bible and pray to God for his truth, not Joseph Smith's.

God is calling you to know the truth. He will not give up on you. Don't give up on him.

May God bless you by revealing the truth about Jesus, your salvation and his love for you. May he fill your heart with the Holy Spirit and give you strength to follow him.

Well, since others have been slapped down for it, someone has got to do it now.

Of all questions to ask, it surprises me not but confirms to me about mrN00b.

Hope the alter ego has a good lenten season.

“.... Are you carrying the torch for someone?”....Is this one addressed to metmom?

Too hot for you to handle?

[Twinkie]

I apologize for seeming to lecture you on Islam. Just jumped in without reading all the posts.

[mad_as_he$$]

Hey, I make no claims about being a Christian here on FR. Don't paint me with your prejudices. Are you are religious bigot?

[svcw]

Why, how perfectly civil of you.

[svcw]

Actually based on this definition the bigot is the original poster of the thread.

a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own

[svcw]

And I make no claims to be civil.
