In fact, I'm a little sick of people telling me I can't understand something that hasn't happened to me personally. I have a brain. I understand. Using that logic, we are in no position to criticize our Senators/President/Pastor, since...

I resent your attacks on people here. We are spending time explaining to you our beliefs. Now going on 1-1/2 hours today for me. And, you? You attack us as quacks.
Now, our beliefs are based on what we find in the Bible (that book you claim means little). So, therefore, you are attacking the Bible when it speaks on verses you choose to ignore.
And, then, you jump on us and try and make us say you are going to hell for doing so. Great game. But we don't play.
We are not in the business of judging people's final destination because God is at work on those people. He expects us to help them - not condemn them. We just merely try and ensure our salvation and our families and to teach what the Bible teaches.
Big deal - how horrible can we be? Almost as bad as the devil worshippers I guess (sarcasm of course).

And how are we given the word of God? Preachers? And where do preachers get the word of God?
Why was the bible given? It was given as the inspired word of God profitable for edification. And, the bible has survived thousands of years - same as the story of Christ.

According to other CoC'er's anything spoken before Jesus died does not really apply. So would you like to start with that? That is not what he meant. The Old Testament was the rule of law and if one law was broken then it was as if all laws were broken. We study the Old Testament for the history of God but we are not under that rule. God's views are the unchanging and we learn about God.
However, God sent Christ as the one time sacrifice for man and therefore his death paid the price once and for all for those that believe on Christ. The old rule of law requiring animal sacrifice was no more.
We now are under the dispensation of Jesus and the New Testament and those instructions are meant for us today. We have been given the most wonderful gift of Jesus and all we are required to do is accept that gift, repent of our sins, be baptised and walk anew with Christ. (as per the instructions given in the New Testament.)

Thanks for posting this! This murderess's lawyers already have hinted they'll argue post-partum depression as a defense -- her youngest child is one year old, by the way -- and it looks like the other defense will be "it's tough out there for a minister's wife".

He who believes and is baptized, shall be saved (Mk. 16:16)?I don't really want the thread to get off track, but I really need to say. . .
Read the rest of the passage ". .but he who believes not is condemned already." The focus of the passage is faith, not getting dunked.

It was a joke because we had the priest scandal and actually still have it. Sorry that I wasn't more specific. If we did not have the priest scandal problems, I would never have said such a thing seriously.
To: HamiltonJay
"The issue with Catholic Priests is that the no marriage issue was not purely a sex issue, though that is certainly how it is thought of today."
I understand all of the points in your post. I was mainly responding to the rather snarky tone of the post regarding the "evangelical problem"!

I don't believe baptism alone saves, nor that faith alone saves. I believe the Bible teaches a plan of salvation which includes both, along with the others mentioned in my post, #281, and for the reasons that I gave for believing it.

I am not really following your whole "blame the man" mentality here... I don't really think society has quite the expectations of men (in marriages)as you are suggesting.

Please, please don't make this into a baptism debate. Especially because you're wrong.

'Course, I've been proudly posting before reading the entire thread since 1998 LOL...

I wasn't speaking of "society" as much as I was speaking of the "society" of the Christian Church. At least the "evangelical" denominations I'm familiar with.

Abraham was not under the law of Moses (the circumcision), of course, nor was he an alien sinner who didn't know, and obey, God. He had demonstrated an
obedient faith on many occasions by obeying the commands of God because of his faith in Him.
Remember that he obediently left his home and went to a land that God showed him? He offered up Isaac as a sacrifice, just as God later sacrificed His Son.
His was an obedient faith that was "reckoned to Abraham for righteousness".
I believe it shows that faith also should lead us to obey the commands of God in order to receive His grace today.

God is proud of how a supposed "Godly woman" calls others unkind names and accuses them of being liars. Great example there FC. Just because they are Christians doesn't mean they're polite!
By the by, I am totally enjoying this thread. I'm getting quite the education. Serious. Thanks to all who are contributing in a positive manner.

I wasn't accusing him of being a liar. I was telling him he was lying and his actions make him a liar.
There, got that Yukong?

Why is it you want us to judge other people? God can and will do what God chooses to do as He has said in the Bible. He is not held to the instructions He gives us - He made those instructions. So, I am not going to attempt to limit God. God can save the man in the desert if He wishes, He can change His mind any time He wants. But, that does not change what He told us to do to get salvation. I feel that we just need to leave the extreme cases in God's hand for His dispensation and go about the business of trying to follow what He tells us to do. So according to you, your god doesn't really mean what he says?
