No superstarr you sound nothing like a christian like I said before you have no understanding of the scriptures.
annatar you can't deal for your salvation because salvation is a gift of Grace to be received. If you could deal for it you would have to make the deal with God, salvation is His and His alone to give, so making a deal with christians will do you no good. Apparently you are not being move by the Holy Spirit by the way you've presented yourself and this means you will not be receptive to the replies you might receive. This type of post has been presented before and the best that I can remember no christians responded. Why should we open ourselves to judgment when all you are trying to do is play games.
Quote:Salvation is achieved by works and accepting Jesus as your savior. Since your mind is already CLOSED, you should leave or find yourself an OPEN mind.
Chasm John 3:16 For god so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever believe in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life. Where does this say anything about works and there are many more such statements. If you are going to make statements about the scriptures please do so correctly. I know and understand what I believe and that does not make me closed minded.
I do study some material written by nonbelievers and try to keep up with what's new on the evolution front not that I believe any of it I'm trying to learn all the time.
So, what John 3:16 is clearly saying, is that 60-70% of the people on Earth will perish then. What kind of a "perfect" God would kill over half of his own creation? Anger issues I presume?
Not closed are you? Well, why don't you simply accept other religions and beliefs then like how you accept Christianity?
And as for Evolution, it's not about whether you believe in it or not. It's about knowing and understanding Evolution and what it tells us about the history of humanity, in REALITY and in the NATURAL world. Your beliefs deal with the supernatural, which is correct me if I'm wrong, not what is reality or what is the natural world as we study and observe it.
