Quote:Actually no. I am teaching righteousness apart from Morality. I am teaching that our "acts" no longer have a "moral value" after we are saved. Wrote:
I am teaching the very opposite of morality. Don't confuse this with the teaching of the christian religion. alot of brands of christianity do indeed teach morality. However I represent the bible and not a specific brand. The bible/Christ and Paul teaches righteousness apart from our deeds. Meaning no morality.
Well, even if we were to both agree that the text in the Bible actually represented the true word of the universe's creator, you are exhibiting enormous conceit when you suggest that your words should be considered the correct interpretation of that text (even if only for the purpose of this interaction). That's a major barrier against having a meaningful conversation with you.
Quote:Actually what Christ taught was absolutely ground breaking in many aspects, and a call back to God's original word at the same time. Meaning he pointed to the original scriptures but explained it in such a ways as no one thought to take it before. He was popular only because people got fed and fixed around Him.
Yet it is still, by definition, pop morality. The idea of salvation is a very binary moral idea. It doesn't divide the good and the bad. I know that it doesn't mean saved people are necessarily good and that the unsaved are necessarily bad. However, there is a right and wrong, good and bad element in choosing salvation. To refuse salvation is considered a moral failing, a desire not to be more godly (which is a state equivocal with 'good').
