[QUOTE="Mister_Mushroom"] Do you really believe that you *personally* know more about God and Christianity than the entirety of the Roman Catholic Church since the time of Christ :| ?LJS9502_basic

I know what God has revealed in His Word. That is what I try to live by. A Biblical Christian bases their beliefs on God's revealed Word and not on Church traditions, unless they are clearly supported by Scripture from the whole counsel of the Word of God. . We test everything against the Word of God as guided by the Holy Spirit.

Is there any room for free, independent thought in any of that?

Of course there is and great joy as well. Biblical Christianity helps keep one from many errors found in the world as well as keeps one in God's blessings.

That response doesn't seem to shout out "FREE THOUGHT!" to me, but hey, what do I know...?

Are you now claiming onmiscience? Do you know what I do in service of the Lord? Do you know what ministries I am involved in? By the way, what color shirt am I wearing and what the outside temperature is where I am? One of the evidences of true salvation, not a condition for it, is that saved and serving Christians do good works in the service of the Lord. Another is that they are not conformed to the world and the many ungodly things it offers such as ungodly music. They try to live holy and righteous lives in obedience to God's Word, as opposed to some that identify themselves as Christians and live their lives from Sunday to Sunday, not much different than non-believers. If one does not do good works in service to the Lord, it is an indication that they are not saved and serving Christ.

Ungodly music? Would that not be judging?

When you make a statement to me, that it is safe to assume that you did that for a reason. I really do not care what you think or choose to imply. My accountability is to the Lord, not you.

Let me tell you something. When you come on a thread, Biblical Christians really do not say much to you. You are frequently the one that starts harping on Biblical Christians just as you did with Crush. I really don't care to discuss much with you as we are from different faiths. Catholicism is not Biblical Christianity, even the Catholic Church readily admits that. You are entitled to believe whatever you want but when you start maling comments about Biblical Christians as you often do, then be prepared to be called to account. You use terms like "Catholic bashing"for dramatics. No one has "bashed Catholics"as you state and you know it.

If you want to debate the Biblical differences between Catholicism and Biblical Christianity based on God's Word, then name a time and place and I will be glad to debate you on that subject.

Good for you. So are you saying that you have never sinned according to God's standards of righteousness? God says we are all sinners. Biblical Christianity is not a religion. Religions are man made and are man's attempt to reach up to a holy God and earn salvation through works. The Bible says that all of our works, no matter how good we think they are, are as filty rags to God. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation. Biblical Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ. It is God, in love reaching down to His fallen and sinful creation, offering a path to salvation through His grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, not of works lest any man should boast.

I never said I "never sinned". I said that I don't do quite a few of those things mentioned in the Bible. ...without an actual Bible to tell me so, no less.

I don't see how Biblical Christianity isn't a religion, though. You're basing your entire system of beliefs on one book. Biblical Christianity is man made (man wrote the Bible) and are an attempt to reach out to god (seeing as you're always talking about your personal relationship with him). The "through works" bit, though, should not be in the definition of religion. Be it your attempt to differentiate yourself from other Christians or whatever, but a religion does not have to focus on doing good works. As long as it's a strong system of beliefs and morals with some sort of supernatural power, it's a religion.

By the way Christians don't save anyone, the Holy Spirit working in their hearts convicts people and leads them to repentance and a saving knowledge of Christ.

I am sorry but I find this thread and your unsupported claims regarding Jesus Christ, offensive to Christians. You compare followers of Christ to sheep and a food supply. This is offensive to followers of Christ.

You are free to believe whatever you want about vampires but I do not find it acceptable to blaspheme our Lord and Savior with unsupported opinions and claims calling Christ a vampire and Christians sheep, a food supply.

Care to supply some real hard evidence, other than novels and opinions from web sites to support your historically incorrect assertion. For example manuscript evidence, eyewitness testimony from ancient writers, or the proof of the "occult teachings of Christianity prior to Constantine". How about some proof for the claim that you made that that "Jesus was Dracula." Show us some ancient writers that existed at the time of Jesus and recoded their eyewitness testimony.

You wrote, "I'm just curious, how will this knowledge, the scientific fact that Jesus was Dracula" and "Dracula did not claim to be a God", well Jesus did claim to be God so you just refuted your own claim.

You identify yourself as Christian. Well Christians put their faith in Jesus Christ and live their lives base on God's Word revealed in the Bible. Perhaps you can point me to Scripture that reveals that Christ is Dracula. The Bible teaches that we cannot serve two masters so how do you reconcile your belief in Jesus as Dracula, a Jesus that is not the Biblical Jesus with the Jesus revealed in the Bible?

For the nth time, no one has ever stated that they can know one's hearts or their relationship with Christ. You keep bringing up that red herring. Now you have resorted to the old standby, the "judge not" defense while using it to judge others. I really suggest that you study the doctrine of Biblical judgement before pulling out that tired old defense. Confronting error with the Word of God is not judgement, it is rebuke and reproof. It is what Christians are called to do. Feel free to not do this but you have no authority to judge Christians that do confront error, especially based on your incorrect understanding of the doctrines of Biblical judgement, rebuke, and reproof.

Oh? Misapplying Scripture? Funny you come to mention that. See, Matthew 7:2 says: "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." And Matthew 18:15-17 says - "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican." Lansdowne5

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican." LJS9502_basic

Well, if you would cease your practice of taking shots at Biblical Christians then there would be no need to engage you on your error, no need to discuss anything with you at all. I personally do not eve wish to discuss anything with you at all. We are of two entirely different faiths. I respect your right to hold whatever beliefs you choose but when you choose to come after Biblical Christians you will need to bring a Bible and study it well. Try as you may, you are not going to undo the Protestant Reformation or silence Biblical Christians that share the Gospel.

Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

I am not the one in error. Cherry picking Scripture is not what Jesus intended. I see an error whether by atheist, agnostic, or Christian I will call them on it. I don't care if you don't agree with it. You seem to continue to quote me to argue though so I doubt what you've said here. If I don't care to talk to someone I don't.;)

He did not "attack" your faith. You use statements like tht for dramatic effect. He stated that Catholicism is not the same as Biblical Chritianity which is true. Even the Catholic Church acknowledges that. We cannot be responsible if you do not even know your Church's positionon its doctrine. You then accused implied that he did not know what it means to be a Christian.

1Th 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

I have told you over and over that this thread is not the place to discuss the differences between Biblical Christinity. I have also told you that if you want to debate those differences then pick a place and time. I will be glad to do that with you.

Sorry, but you're wrong. Did you miss the "go and tell him his fault" bit? How are you to do that if you can't decide whether he has done something wrong?Lansdowne5

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Ah you wish to misapply Scripture as well. No one on a message board knows anything about another person's relationship with God. And to come in and judge others is not Christ like and something he warned against. Apparently that text is missing from some Bibles.LJS9502_basic

For the nth time, no one has ever stated that they can know one's hearts or their relationship with Christ. You keep bringing up that red herring. Now you have resorted to the old standby, the "judge not" defense while using it to judge others. I really suggest that you study the doctrine of Biblical judgement before pulling out that tired old defense. Confronting error with the Word of God is not judgement, it is rebuke and reproof. It is what Christians are called to do. Feel free to not do this but you have no authority to judge Christians that do confront error, especially based on your incorrect understanding of the doctrines of Biblical judgement, rebuke, and reproof.
