You wonder why I pick on you. Let me see I can kill all the native americans I want and still go to heaven, or better yet I can molest little boys as long as I show up for sunday service everything is kosher huh, stateindian.

if one was to assume your religious views, they would most closely resemble that of catholics.
I dont worship the graven image of Mary nor do I like little boys.
QUOTE
Second, I never said anything about showing up to Sunday school as part of salvation. Nowhere in the bible does it say that you muist go to church to become reconciled with God. And yes, I do believe that people who lead seemingly evil lives, and attone for their sin and have a TRUE transformation of heart and mind and put their faith in God can go to heaven. Who are you to judge and condemn someone to an eternity outside of Heaven?
Not judging only repeating what the KJV of christian bible states.
QUOTE
Most mainstream Christian beliefs focus on salvation by faith, not works.
Bullshit
QUOTE
What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
QUOTE
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
QUOTE
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
QUOTE
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

QUOTE
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

I know you really think I just talk out of my ass just for the hell of it Puck sucker
and Stateindian. The qoutes above are from the book of James 2:14 - 2:18
QUOTE
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first
Revelation 2:19

Xmedia, your absolute ignorance on the topic of religion is scary. You have made multiple, multiple jokes about Catholicism,
I have forgotten more about the bible than the both of you know of it combined.
P.S. Thanks stateindian for forcing me to look up pretty much what I had been saying the last 6 posts. You illustrate the real problem with so called christians you dont know the fucking bible.
Anymore questions class.

Sure just one...what about the new testament? The historical documentation of the life and times of Jesus Christ? You know, the whole reason salvation by Faith is possible? Perhaps you left that out when you google searched faith by works. You do not know the bible. if you knew the bible, you would not treat others the way you do and say the hateful things you do.

I know stateindian nevermind the truth if you repeat that BS 5x that makes it true.

Neither one of you really knows what your talking about

Resort to the same old tactics xmedia...name calling and strecthing theories. True colors shining through.
QUOTE(xmedia2004 @ Nov 5 2005, 11:59 AM)
Yeah I now, since I pretty much sunk your " faith without works " boat, not much remains.
hey xmedia, you are you seriously still bringing up the fact that i said i can tell the future? Your an idiot.
I was remarking on my beliefs in a causal universe, not claiming divine powers. LMAO
You really are just an angry little man...but good attempt at trying to get me out of the conversation, since you know that i will challenge every bullshit claim you make about particular religions. You also know that i will challenge you whenever you fucking lie, which you do on a regular basis...
You two(xmedia & Statecowboy) still think about religion like children.
StateCowboy-you dont think "works" get you into heaven. Isnt "knowing and believing in Jesus" technically an action...a work. You think your actions get you into heaven just like xmedia. You just dont think helping people matters, you just think you have to study more....
Xmedia-Actions alone can not possibly get you into heaven. Even the legal system does not believe in an act as an absolute. Intent matters too. Your just a psuedo-catholic Xmedia. The funny thing...you hate catholics....LOL

I quite agree, and would furthermore like to state that xmeagre sucks the unwashed cock!

kid, you dont believe in physical actions
but you still believe in actions
faith is an action, because you have control over it, and choose to "do" it.

QUOTE(Statecowboy @ Nov 5 2005, 11:12 PM)
Look...I understand that what you're trying to do and I think you understand what I'm saying. So let's not get lost in semantics. Circular debates aren't very constructive to either argument. I am saying that faith is the only thing you need in order to get in Heaven, faith in Christ Jesus. XMedia is saying that works are how you get in Heaven...numerous accountable works. There is a difference and I know that you're smart enough to see that. And I doubt you're older than me, but if you insist on calling me a kid please feel free.

The CHRISTIAN bible says that god sends his angles out to test humanity, as poor
and beggars.
thats only in the old testament, peopel dont realize that the way god operated in the old tetament (when the hebrews were his chosen people) is compeltely different than the way he runs things after jesus (for the christians)
god, jesus and angels dont come to earth anymore, they dont bring messges to people, test good will, and they certainly dont appear in tortillas and stains on the wall

Statecowboy, you obviously dont understand the point
Wow, so God...loving, kind, Jesus killed millions of native people who had never even heard of Jesus and were obviously skeptical...he did that because he is a dickhead?
The God you worship is an asshole Xmedia, if you believe he killed the native people
Besides, how did the Americans transgress against God's laws?
