Because it takes good, Christian conservatives’ attentions away from the real problems we are facing by creating a FReeper circular firing squad.
Nope.
Any problems a Christian faces here is the worst it will ever be for us.
Conversely, the problems faced here by a nonbeliever is as good as it will ever get.
The time spent on our problems here are nothing compared to eternity.
My life experience has shown me that the folks who want to "just get along" because there are other problems that are bigger are the same people who disappear when it comes time to deal with the bigger problems.
As far as why Faith Alone is so important it's because on this alone your salvation rests. What good is it to be right on everything else and then find yourself in front of the White Throne Judgement because you didn't believe The Gospel.
And who was the first one on this thread stirring the pot with criticisms of causing trouble?
Don’t start a circular firing squad if you don’t want to see one.
Still here, eh?
Sola Fide is everything. Have it and you have eternal life with Christ. Don’t have it and you go to hell. It is precisely what the Catholic church does NOT have.
