In the gospel recorded by the apostle John and in the 3rd chapter, the musts are revealed:
1) "You must be born again" (v7)
2) "the Son of Man must be lifted up" (v14)
3) "He must become greater; I must become less." (v30)
"A person can receive only what is given them from heaven." (John 3:27 NIV)
There is no other way into Mordor than the pass below Minas Morgul.
As for you, Motar, Matthew 25:31-46 pretty much says it all.
What about those who've never heard the gospel ?
What good news?Preach it, TB : )
What about those who have heard the good news, LL?

Guess I need to, seeing as how none of our alleged Christians, on this board or anyplace else, does.Preach it, TB : )
Hey, Jesus was a good ol' boy! Who else'd use his Gawd-given power to turn water into Budweiser?In Matthew 5 to 7, Jesus tells us why we should hate gays and carry a loaded carbine, all of the time.

Haven't heard any "good news" . Only guilt, fear and punishment. Sounds like bad news to me. You have breaking news Motar?There is an Abort button, LL. Ask the Captain. The Self-Destruct sequence can be interrupted.
Also, there are plans for a new habitat with a new Commander. He's out of this world : )

Do you think getting the author right would add to the validity of your comments or take away from it? The correct answer is Mary of Bethany is the author of the Gospel of John (the Baptist)In the gospel recorded by the apostle John and in the 3rd chapter, the musts are revealed:
1) "You must be born again" (v7)
2) "the Son of Man must be lifted up" (v14)
3) "He must become greater; I must become less." (v30)
The non-negotiables (musts) in the gospel of Jesus Christ are nonetheless custom-packaged for each believer:
"A person can receive only what is given them from heaven." (John 3:27 NIV)
For the most part. You missed this part though.
Ec:3:20:
All go unto one place;
all are of the dust,
and all turn to dust again.
Ec:12:7:
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

War, poverty, indifference , corruption in politics and religion, rampant crime in the streets , catastrophic diseases , children and elderly suffering,,,you want more? Where is this good news? Religion as I said presents guilt, fear and possible punishment for not walking the straight and narrow. What's good about that?What bad news, LL?
