Scaughdt: I have a sincere request for information … It seems that we got so caught up in other topics that no one answered my fourth question (see page 125), and it is a question where I truly don’t have much personal knowledge and would sincerely like to hear a few thoughts … So, […]
Here you announce a pretty bold claim – that, “you don’t understand because you don’t believe in Salvation!” Ummm – I’m not quite sure where you got that one, my Friend. I’ve never said as much, that’s for sure. Now where we do happen to differ is that you seem to have fallen a […]
“If these churches are condoning the homosexual and telling everyone that it is OK to partake in the sexual act, or even if they are condoning fornication – or any other sexual immorality, then they are going against the teachings of God and they are condoning sin … and they are thereby condemning themselves!” […]
“It is not OK to defy God. He has warned us that He will not forgive any sin that has not been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ.” Hmmm … Well, aside from the fact that Jesus himself vehemently begs to differ with you on this front (see John 5:2 + Matthew 5:48 […]
Then you continue by referencing Ephesians 2:8, stating that, “The Scriptures say you are saved by faith, not by your own works, lest anyone should boast.” Ummm – actually, that is what Paul says in the Scriptures (or at the very least the author of Ephesians, a work mostly copied from Paul’s letter to […]
“True Christianity is believing that God’s promise to provide a Savior was fulfilled in His Son, Jesus Christ.” Fair enough, my Friend … This is an accurate reflection of Paul’s establishment of the Christian church; something he did after suffering immense shame & guilt for ruthlessly persecuting the original & true Followers of Jesus […]
“Judaism did not fail, because through the tribe of Judah a Savior from God was born.” Well, yes – sort of … Jesus was indeed a Jew at his birth, and he was a Jew during his ministry, and he was a Jew at his crucifixion, and indeed, a Jew he remains to this […]
“Some have a different Jesus than the Jesus of Scripture”, and to this all I have to say is – Yes, and one of these people happens to be YOU! But don’t take my word for it … Consider the words of Jesus Christ himself: “Do not judge, so that you may not […]
“The Scripture says that there will be a great falling away from the true faith in the last days.” Heck, Lucy, Jesus would say that there has already been a HUGE falling away from The Way of Christ for the last 2000 years! Indeed, it was not Jesus who founded the modern-day Christian church, […]
Next you refer to 2 Timothy 4:3 when you state that, “[The Bible] says men will not endure sound doctrine, but will have itching ears and will heap to themselves teachers that will fulfill their own lusts.” … And to this I would once again simply answer with a resounding – YES! … And yet […]
“Only through Jesus and what he did on the cross can we be saved.” You know, Lucy, I actually agree with this statement wholeheartedly – though my definitions of “what he did on the Cross” and “be saved” tend to align more with his meanings thereof than yours … You see, at least according […]
