'Drich, which of the millions of different christian denominations goes to Heaven?'

[watchamadoodle]

@Drich, I thought you mentioned that you believe in predestination?

Maybe predestination isn't relevant to this thread.

[Anomalocaris]

Yet this sort of ignorant blather is precisely what Christians - even supposedly educated ones, who should know better - say all the time.

[emphasis added -- Parks]

Thankfully from Drich's point of view, he doesn't labor under this handicap.

No, he is as free as a brain dead baboon.

Not all, but most don't matter. Why? Because our greatest command is to love our lord God with all of our heart, mind, spirit and strength. And because we are all a little different this all encompassing love will play out differently.

That's funny. Yesterday, you had to adhere to "canonical" Christianity to be a True Christian. Now, all you have to do is be sincere in your belief, which was what we were saying all along.

Remember we as Christians are free from the law as a means to righteousness because of the attonement Christ died to provide. This means what we are judged on centers around this all encompassing love we are supposed to have and whether or not our actions reflect this kind of love.

The portion of the Sermon I keep hounding you about is very clearly implying that one's willingness to keep and live by the law is a metric by which proves how sincere one is about seeking atonement. That's Christ's way of saying "I want those who walk, not those who talk". He's not demanding total fulfillment, only that you try to the best of your abilities.

You don't try. You think you don't have to try. You talk about canon but ignore entirely what it commands you to do. That's why you're not going to heaven when you die.

I have been asked this question so many different times in my last two threads I think it should be posted once and for all.

It's real simple.

All canonical Jesus Christ centered religions are good.

Why?

Attonement.

The same attonement that is offered to us when we willfully sin is also offered when we are trying to love God with all of our heart, mind, spirit, and strength.

So this beggs the question who is right? Which version of Christianity is correct? None are. The thing is.. We don't have to be.

So what's the trick? One must have the attonement offered by Christ. According to Paul to his letter to the Galations, this 'gospel' is the canonical/biblical Gospel. All other 'new gospels' are false.

Therefore the only ones that fall under the Christian 'freedom of religion' are those who know and follow the Jesus/gospel found in the canonical scriptures.

Says you.

I bet its the Mormons who get to go, they seem nice.

No, he is as free as a brain dead baboon.

... and almost as sophisticated.

Mormons have schismed way over 100 times in less than 2 centuries, so maybe you could help narrow it down a bit ?

God don't look at a Christian's label he puts in himself, he looks at their heart.

There will be people from every denomination in heaven.

There will be people there that had never heard of Jesus.

[FatAndFaithless]

There will be people there that had never heard of Jesus.

Care to provide some evidence for that?

[thesummerqueen]

Drich, which of the several groups of elves in Tolkien-verse get to sail to the Undying Lands?














The actual answer is that in the case of mine and your question, no one actually gives a fuck.

And the ones who had heard of Jesus will have their heads explode when they see fucking pagans (and worse) in heaven.
