[QUOTE]Originally posted by ourluxor: [QB] "So ourluxor, explain it to me. Show me where I have twisted anything. Christians believe that as long as they believe Jesus had died for our sins they go to heaven, right? So basically they can do as they like in private and public and only in public or when it becomes public then those like you can say 'oh he or she isn't a real christian anyway'. Who are you to decided? Surely that decision rests with God alone?" Answer: I don't have the time or the inclination to trawl through your old postings to find where you said words to the effect that the Christian could then go around murdering etc. and still claim that Jesus died for him. But you did, (and to a certain extent it is true) but that would still not make them the actions of a Christian! I’m exactly no-one to decide. Jesus said, “By their works shall ye know them”. "I was looking to the future seeing as things seem to change in Christianity as to what rules are followed according to whoever wants to say the rules are no longer there in regards to what vwvwv was saying. So in 500 years time who knows what will happen and it may become normal to walk about naked, so then that will be fine too according to the ever changing laws of God according to christians." Answer: While I agree that Christianity is a dynamic religion which suits all people in all ages, (it has to be dynamic as it is alive and not dead like all the others) it doesn’t actually change. We have two (or it could be classed as one, possibly) “commandments”, which are “Love God and love your neighbour as yourself” "If we could never pay the price on our own then are you saying God created man and gave him laws to uphold and one was to worship no other Gods but Him but all the time knowing man could never do what he was created to do? Bit of a disrespect for God and His powers of knowing everything about all His creation there and not much point in giving those laws of He knew they couldn't ever be upheld even with mankind as a group. Seems like God was playing cruel games" Answer: I don’t really have a satisfactory answer (satisfactory, that is, to me in order to actually write it down for you). However, as God gave us free will to make our own decisions, I don’t think that I can accept your premise that He has” powers of knowing everything about all His creation”, which sort of nullifies the question in my eyes. Once you ascribe such knowledge to God, you then say that God has deliberately condemned a chunk of humanity to spending eternity without the knowledge of His love! Another premise that would be utterly intolerable for me to accept. (Sorry, I know that you won’t accept that, but it’s the best I can do in the circumstances.) "So someone who is a good person, a charitable person that loves his fellow man and gives in charity and prays etc would be considered a good Christian and a priest that molests kids would not be? What if that good person, that kind charitable person is Muslim, do you still consider them to be good Christians?" Answer: Obviously not! Don’t be silly, would you like to be referred to as a “good Christian” for doing some work of charity? There are loads of very nice people who belong to a myriad religions. The Christian, realising that his/her efforts at good works are not as good as they could be, relies on the Holy Spirit of God for any goodness he/she has, and also gives thanks to God when the goodness which they have displayed produces benefit for another. The only reason that the Holy Spirit indwells them is because they have accepted God’s self sacrifice on the cross to be His act of redeeming them to Himself. I’m not kidding myself that these answers will satisfy you, but at least you won’t be able to accuse me of not answering!!!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
