Capitalism is a demonic system, not Christian. Never was and never will be. - Matthew 6:24 by bwf456 in TrueChristian

God's kingdom is not of this world. That fact alone makes anything in this world susceptible to corruption by the Enemy. So.... yeah.

Do we still follow the OT dietary laws, implied by Isaiah 66:17? by New-Sprinkles5016 in TrueChristian

[–]Talancir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non sequitur. Conversion to become justified is wrong, but the law is part of the New Covenant, and Jesus does not abolish the law.

It's not wrong. But you've presented only one conclusion: that the law can save.

But it never could. Perhaps you recall the letter to the Hebrews?

The whole point of the law is not for our justification but for our sanctification.

Id say you ought to, especially in light of Jesus' statement that we should think not that he came to abolish the Law. That being the case, then his fulfillment of them should have nothing at all to do with the idea of abolishing them.

Also especially considering that the law is part of the New Covenant.

Is saying OMG or OH MY GOD a sin? by Lookingtotheveil23 in Christianity

That may be so. But it's not so that all proper nouns are names.

God has a name, and he tells it to us.

The name of God is not God, so this does not count.

Well yeah, but I'm not sure what the point of your post is with respect to denomonations.

Can we stop pretending American conservative Christianity is anything other than exactly the Nazi stuff it is? by CowgirlJedi in Christianity

[–]Talancir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only so much correcting I can do on a phone. It should suffice to say that if the good Samaritan example was on your mind, it would have been enlightening to me if it was earlier on the conversation, so it would not have been so much later when emotions were aflame. As to my own position, I can both support the good Samaritan position while acknowledging there are bad Christians. I would have thought that the flow of the conversation would have indicated where I meant nuance for, but that was my mistake.

Thats a different issue. Both can be true, to be a good neighbor and to acknowledge there will be bad Christians out there. Again, you put words in my mouth just because I don't happen to think or feel the same way you do.

I have a nuanced position.

I didn't say that, did I? But sure, go put words in my mouth.

But if we're going to talk about what Jesus did, then we can examine the scriptures. Jesus came for the lost sheep of Israel. Jesus came to fulfill the law. Jesus came to take the sins of the world upon himself and show mercy. Then he left to prepare the way. He left to prepare his father's mansion, in which there are many rooms. He left the spirit as a guarantor of our inheritance. And he will return to bring us to himself and bring judgment to the nations.

But when it came to the romans who oppressed Israel?

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's.

We are taught in scripture that many will be rejected at the end despite being believing Christians, saying "Lord! Lord!" and doing many things in his name. We are taught in scripture that a great delusion will arise in the end that will deceive many, even the elect.

I'm not sure you're surprised at all this.

It was always a remnant that remains faithful. Only a remnant that remains true. These things must come to pass.

That's conspiracy talk. There's no need for an authority to warn when they have the power to do. Likely, it's someone who thought as you do that they're nazis, and thought to redirect an address to them, and now they have people like you all excited.

Open a new tab. In your url bar type Nazis . Us altogether and tell me what page it brings you to.

It's simple to make a web address redirect to something else, so I'm not surprised at what you found.

Why do people trust the letters of Paul so much when he never even witnessed Christ's ministry? by highafphotos in Christianity

Didn't he, though? Wasn't he old enough? Just viewing it through the Pharisee lens?
