Christians Unite

[MilesAbbott81]

Starting here:

that whoever believes in Him shall not perish


I'm thinking it is obvious, isn't it, that if one were sincere about the 'believe' part, there would come along with it, virtually unbidden, but nevertheless, an irresistible compulsion to

WORSHIP JESUS CORRECTLY.

That is unless one puts one's faith in a false Christ, that being Satan, the ruler of nominal Christendom (among other things).

Matthew 24:23-24
Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. 24"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

The best deceptions are subtle and involve bits of truth. Satan distorts the Truth and sells it under his own myriad brands (the sects of nominal Christendom in this case).

And how many Christers do we see doing that ?

Right off the bat, 50% get the Mark 10:11 thing WRONG. And that is just ONE verse.

You're not wrong there.

I think Miles may be reversing the burden of proof here. It's not up to others to prove him wrong, it's his burden to show that his beliefs are correct.

Why is proof even part of the equation here? We're not conducting an experiment, we're talking theology.

But you're right to an extent. I do challenge anyone to prove me wrong, by the Scriptures, either Christian or otherwise. Outside the Scriptures is a futile argument, and really shouldn't apply to a discussion about a particular theology.
