[ I am glad that you are not of the Reformed persuasion where you do not need Scripture, you have no need of testing, you have no need of repentence; you only have need of the indwelling moral compass that doesn’t allow one to commit evil (well, maybe you can, but since you have the indwelling HS, it doesn’t matter - you’re going to Heaven anyway no matter what you do). ]

You have strange views Mark..
I am not religious..
Christian religions are clubs..
Jesus made ALL religion obsolete...
by saying; "You MUST be born again"- Jesus

You seem to know nothing of the reformed.. they believe so many different things you cannot lump tham all into one basket.. Some mimick the Roman Catholic Cargo Cult some do not.... But they, alas, are clubs also..

The term church means "called out ones"..
Called out of what?.. THE ANSWER IS RELIGION...
Christ made a family not a religion..
Some are born again some are not..
There is NO term for being UNborn again..

Roman Catholic Cargo Cult

LOL!

I am, of course,
[snicker]
totally,
[chuckle]
OUTraged by this
[tee hee]
characterization!
[guffaw]

[Mad Dawg]

Have you already developed this from Scripture or from some other authority?

What does a family with over 1,000,000,000 members look and act like?

Or, define "religion".

Anyway it's an interesting POV. I don't think it'll fly, necessarily, but it's interesting.

***You have strange views Mark..***

I believe that they are equivalent to and therefore as correctly Christian as the Apostles and Church Fathers.

***I am not religious..
Christian religions are clubs..***

If you are not Catholic, then the second is usually true. The first, well, is so vague as to be substantially meaningless.

***You seem to know nothing of the reformed.. they believe so many different things you cannot lump tham all into one basket***

Enough of the lumps are the same.

***Some mimick the Roman Catholic Cargo Cult some do not***

I’m not sure that the description of the institution that Jesus founded is worthily described as a cargo cult.

***Some are born again some are not..
There is NO term for being UNborn again..***

Jesus spent enough time letting us know what will happen if we do wrong. The Sermon on the Mount oughta tide you over.
