Re: Is everyone a Christian by default ?
What did Mother Teresa say when she saw the homeless man ?.............. "I see Christ in Beggars Clothes" My next question would be, where on the Furstentum-RickD-B.W.-Sacramento Scale of becoming a Christian does one actually become a "Christian" ? Is it the guy who goes to chu...

Is everyone a Christian by default ?
There was a man sent from God whose name was John He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man . (John 1:...

Re: sleep or judgment
I think we are pretty much already guilty. Death is a mere formality on the way to the not-so-nice-place. Sometimes, people are given glimpses of the other side, but this guarantees nothing. One needs to ask for Grace through the Son and the Judge might let you off the hook and into heaven. Just kee...

I am still not 100% sure if I agree with myself though. I will have to keep investigating this subject.

Re: Why science will never answer questions related to God.
A relevant quote......... "Listen, philosopher, to what I tell thee: we believe, that the Almighty God from out of nothing did create by His Word and His Spirit both heaven and earth, and all the world both visible and invisible. The Word is the Son of God, Who didst come down upon the earth on...

Re: Objective Morality
Good Subject this 'Objective Morality' ! Here is my take on it and some stuff I found on the net. Morality Morality does not exist in Heaven. It only exists on earth in the minds of human beings. It's a set of rules and regulations set out in an attempt to control our own behavior. There is no need ...

Re: Quick question
Bottom line: you are aberrant if you claim the title "Christian" but deny the gospel. End of story. And bacon...don't forget the bacon My wife tells me that the avoidance of bacon arose in some religion(s) because Pigs (in some regions) were being fed all sorts of nasty stuff resulting in...

Re: The Pro's and Con's of a (Christian) Religion
The Amish come to mind as being not too big on the 'thinking' part (but they do have some good aspects in their religion too). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish "As time has passed, the Amish have felt pressures from the modern world. Issues such as taxation, education, law and its enforcement...

Re: The Pro's and Con's of a (Christian) Religion
Some Christian denominations don't like their followers 'thinking' too much. This borders on abuse/mind-control. A basic example for me: I tried to use reason to understand some aspects of Christianity with some people once upon a time, and they told me to just have faith. And they were happy to tak...

The Pro's and Con's of a (Christian) Religion
Pro's 1. Plants a seed in the minds of people about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. 2. Teaches people correct behavior and proper way of thinking. 3. Brings people together during mass or Sunday get-togethers (as Jesus said "if at least two of you get together in my name, I will be there...

Re: Transfiguration of Jesus - pls explain in 500 words or l
Thanks Paul, I sort of already know the "where it happened", the "when it happened", the "who it happened" to and a little on the "how it happened". I'm more interested whether there is a deeper meaning in the "why it happened". For example, is it sy...

Re: Is "Justifiable Homicide" acceptable in Christianity ?
I think it is important to understand that Jesus IS not and WAS not "one of us" in that way, He was so far above us. He MAY have allowed it to happen, know very well that their spirits would go to Him and they would know LOVE for greater than anything they could imagine BUT He probably wo...

Transfiguration of Jesus - pls explain in 500 words or less
Does anybody have any deep insight into what happens when someone (e.g. Jesus) becomes transfigured ?

Re: Is "Justifiable Homicide" acceptable in Christianity ?
What about Jesus. If the Roman's were going to kill a bunch of kids. Would Jesus have pulled out a spear and 'rectified' the situation ? I figure that God the Father wouldn't even create such circumstances to put his own son in so the point is probably moot. I think you explained it well P.S. To use...
