All you do is quote - Any firm answers. Or has the Bible trapped you as it has so many.
The Bible is my answer to every question that life may bring my way. It is the only truth and the only way unto Salvation. Salvation comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God. You can keep the questions coming and I will keep the quotes coming too.
Peace and Love to you all and thank you for this day of persecution, it only made me stronger! :)

Martyrdom is a great way to fill the collection plate. No pain, no gain. The noble suffer for our sins. Praise be to gawd for kicking me in the gonads!

So you cannot answer the questions I asked. That is normal for one that is trapped inside the Biblical Box. I am a Christian but I am not trapped as you are.

While it is fashionable to declare ones religious faith and has been for sixteen hundred years this in no way indicates that you are in fact a christian. The ancient original christian religion required intellection above all and scorned mere faith. In other words the applicant had to demonstrate a working knowledge of the theology/philosophy. Very few could traverse the narrow path without falling into a ditch of base christianism as opposed to christianity.

Enough talk, release the lions.

As requested, they have been released.

And on what grounds do you declare that you're a Christian may I ask?
You already know my answer (s).

And on what grounds do you declare that you're a Christian may I ask?

Matthew 7
New American Standard Bible

22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

The point here is that we can't earn our way to heaven by doing good works.

A mauling by kittens will teach him.
Hebrews 4:12

New International Version (NIV)


12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

I am sure you have reams upon reams of biblical quotes. Did not God give you a brain.

Oh another question - When God created man did he give Man free will?

So did you receive the sins of all back to Adam and Eve. Or was that Jesus - God?
Because of Adam (one man), all of us are condemned. Why? Because God says it is in our nature to disobey (sin).
Had it been anyone of us in the Garden that day, given the free will that Adam (and all of us) possess, we would have done it too.
Therefore, God (wanting to make it fair I think), caused that by one man (Jesus) we could all be forgiven. Make sense?

Of course it does. An answer finally. What sect do you belong to?

Well, when you play nice....you sometimes get what you ask for :) I am currently attending a Baptist church but am of no particular denomination. Again, as long as they preach the living Word, I'm good.

There's that sinful nature creeping up again. BTW, a quote from any book can still be an answer to your question providing it is in context (which I tried to do all day). When people cut me, I bleed bible verses, it's just the way I am.

Well cut the bleeding - pun intended.

Can a god and pious man who does not believe in God enter Heaven?

Prophecies are not usually detected contextually, that's why they're prophecies! They don't speak of the current, they speak of the future and are seldom understood in their day.
Yeah, I know how that works. Nobody knows what they mean when they're first uttered, then centuries later something happens and people point at it and say, "That's what prophecy X must have meant." Prophecies that nobody understands until after they've been fulfilled don't seem to have much point to them, and the prophecies themselves are vaguely worded enough that any number of events could be retrofitted to them. You might also consider that the people writing the New Testament would have been aware of the Old Testament prophecies and could have fictionalized their records of events to make them appear to be fulfilments. And in some cases we know that they did; I suggest you check out Dr. Bart Ehrman's books Forged and Misquoting Jesus, he's a biblical scholar of some renown, the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The Bible is not what you think it is. Might as well rely on Nostrademus, you're way too credulous, uncritical, and uninformed.
