Did God tell Professor the Catholics aren't Christians? Do they know? How does one become privy to this information? There are 41,000 Christian denominations worldwide. How do you tell if you're in the right one?

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

I'm content assuming you are a Southern Baptist. This tidbit gives anyone a head start on learning about your beliefs. The same goes when I tell you I'm an atheist. You would approach me very differently if I was anything else. Also consider this: if I'm not an atheist, that makes me the biggest theist Poe to ever grace these forums.

Instead of telling us which Christian denominations were founded by the devil, why not say which denomination of Christianity is the 'correct' one? I'd be interested in seeing what other Christian forum members will say if they don't happen to belong to your 'true' denomination.  Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?

Well I for one am an atheist because I can do this nice little thing where I perform an unforgiveable sin by telling the holy spirit to go fuck himself with a cactus because guess what? Jesus ain't Lord.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)

I can prove I'm a Southern Baptist, I have my name listed as a member of the Southern Baptist Church, where's your proof. For all I know you are a pretender and worship Baal. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
I contend that your true religion is "Ravenous Dong-Huffing." Prove me wrong.
Records can be falsified, although I have no reason to believe you would do that, GC. I have a feeling you try to be genuinely honest.
This is actually a very good example of a claim that requires little-to-no evidence. The same honestly goes for my claim that I'm an atheist. And on that, you can either take my word for it or leave it. The question is, are you going to start treating me like anything other than an atheist now due to your sudden and unexpected bout of mistrust? That would really be very silly and will get us nowhere in discussions.

If we are to take Jesus' instructions as per the Sermon on the Mount as a way to indicate what makes a "real Christian", the number of real Christians would be precisely zero. The overwhelming majority of you don't even bother trying to live according to even the easy parts. That includes every self-labeled Christian I've seen on this forum. You think that your repentance to Christ is going to be automatically approved. An all-knowing god is going to see through your 'repentance' for what it is: lip service paid in the interest of gaining rewards. Self-interest motivates every single one of you. And that's why you'll roast in hell right next to us, even if you're right. |
