It’s amazing to me that the organized religions that resulted from the split with Rome are still making some of the same mistakes as the RCC.

It seems to me that if we really want to evangelize our Christian brothers and sisters that do not understand Biblical Christianity our first step is to live what we preach. The 5 Solas are so beautiful in their truth and simplicity. Sola Scriptura is the only infallible rule of faith for Biblical Christians.

I believe when we get caught up in arguments over creeds and confessions we really aren't trying to evangelize those that suffer from belief in an immature theology, but we are really just puffing ourselves up as being better than they are.

I think we've been here before. :)

Sola Scriptura is the only infallible rule of faith for Biblical Christians.

Then by it's own criteria it is false: it is not in Holy Scripture.

True, an di need to improve in heart and in deed.

The Gospel According to You


You are writing a gospel, a chapter each day,


By the deeds that you do, by the words that you say;


Men read what you write, whether faithless or true.


Say – what is the gospel, according to you?


- Paul Gilbert -

The World’s Bible


We are the only Bible the careless world will read,


We are the sinner’s Gospel; we are the scoffer’s creed.


We are the Lord’s last message given in deed and word,


What if the type is crooked? What if the print is blurred?


What if your hands are busy with other work than His?


What if your feet are walking where sin’s allurement is?


What if our tongues are speaking of things His lips would spurn?


How can we hope to help Him and hasten His return?


To hasten our Lord’s return we truly need more power.


So let us all be Spirit filled and awaiting Him each hour.


In an hour that we think not, He said He should appear.


Then let us walk in Holiness and meet Him with a cheer.

Tolerance: The last and only virtue of the completely immoral society.

I believe the time for being nicey, nicey is over. It’s time to speak in love and truth. It’s going to get brutal after Jesus takes His bride off this earth. Our directive is to point to Christ and His words in scripture. If that offends some it’s not our responsibility to make them feel all fuzzy inside.
