(March 19, 2012 at 12:34 am)Drich Wrote: If God wanted a single denomination He would have given us a set of rules that regulated every aspect of our faith. along with an established hierarchy as He did with the Jews. Rather Jesus Gave us two commands. to love our Lord God with all of our Heart, Mind, Spirit and Strength, and the Second is like it. We are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

If that is so then what's up with the whole new testament? Is that optional or is it more of what God/Jesus/spirit-thingy want you to do? If God really wanted you to exercise free will to choose Him, you'd think He'd have you think for your self more than the books of the bible allow. It seems that your God only wants you to think good and hard about whether to choose Him or not and then stop thinking. Once you're on board with the program it seems like he just wants your praise and obedience, don't you think?

In fact, if you accept the idea of eternal life, then how can you put much value into this life? I mean as your after-life approaches infinity, the portion of your total life which you spent in your current body shrinks to insignificance approaching zero. Isn't that how you Christian's actually regard the importance of this life? Just get your ticket punched for heaven and then .. doesn't matter. Of course, you have to run through the tape so to speak to make sure you've passed all God's tests but really, screw this life, right?

By the way, it was damned generous of you to put your shingle out to answer our questions about Christianity. But why would anyone look for that here? I mean if I wanted to hear from Christians why wouldn't I just go on one of your forums so I can get a broader cross section of answers? Don't you guys all think that your interpretation is the only correct one? How can you possibly speak for the rest of them? For example, are you for or against getting baptized post mortem into the Mormon faith just in case? Have you and yours ever considered baptizing some Mormons over into regular Catholicism or Fundymentalism as pay-back just to see how they like it? Maybe it's time for a little pre-emptive doing-unto-them before they ship you off to Kolob.
