Are you ever afraid people might notice you, the man behind the curtain? Still failing to get the drift, I see. What compromises you must make in your daily life in order to feel so right, all the time, when in fact, you are so laughably far off the mark.I just feel sorry for those you drag down with you into your spiritual cesspool.
Originally posted by SuziannePlease take this up with Sonship. I can link you to about 50 threads created by him that liken the bible to meat, milk, fruit,......celeriac.
But calling it 'meat' does it a disservice. It is the Word of God, not a lunch menu.
I know it may as well be the Sunday comics to some of you, but give it a rest. Even analogies break when stretched too far.
Perhaps you missed them?

I would have thought sonship's blend of doubleplusgoodthink and duckspeak - with guaranteed immortality attendant thereto - is an easier sell.
God / Jesus hates mouth worship and will deal severely.with Christians who practice it

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeWorks always follow faith, the thing that is important to know is that we are saved by faith
You have rather been type-cast as the 'works required villain,' but then there is no greater way to show love for God and our neighbour than through our actions.
not our works. That does not mean works are not to be done, but our righteousness is in
God through faith not of works least any of us boast. Our love towards each other will like
our faith will lead us into doing what is right and necessary. I care for those around me
so I do those things that ministry to their needs, and I do not blow a horn telling people
about it either. Bragging about the works you do, gives you your reward now, where we
are told to not let our left hand know what our right is doing, to do things in secret so that
only God sees them. If the world needs to see your good works, or how smart you are
than I doubt what is being done if for God.

Originally posted by KellyJayIt's interesting that, with the exception perhaps of robbie carrobie, none of the regular Christian posters here goes around bragging about their "good works".

So, you believe your god figure not only requires "good works" from you but requires them to be secret as well, is that right?

Without faith it is impossible to please God. What does that tell you about 'works' that are done devoid of faith?
You may also wish to google Cornelius.

There is a good story which Christians like to ignore about Ananias and Sapphira. These were two Christian saints who professed their faith. they believed, and they were given the Holy Spirit. They were part of the early church. But they choose evil rather than good.
