I believe in the Holy Scriptures and I believing in letting the Scriptures speak for itself. I do not believe in private interpretations which is why we have so many false religious groups. They bring to the scriptures their own belief system and then try to make the passage/verse match their...

The Holy Scriptures is foolishness to those who are perishing because it is spiritually discerned, (1Cor. 1:18) meaning one must be born again to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which teaches us God's Truth. Christ said we must be born again or we cannot see the kingdom of God. The...

Can you explain why so many risked their lives and even were martyred for what you call the words of dead men?

The apostle Paul said: "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" (Galatians 1:8) We should love the lost no matter what their beliefs are. However, what Paul said above does not mince words.

The Holy Bible says that no one is good. None are righteous Therefore it doesn't matter if we view some mormons or wiccans as good people.

I never said a true Christian does not take care of orphans and widows. However, there are a lot of folks in false religious groups who do these wonderful acts of charity because they subscribe to a "works based" theology. The Great Commission has not been fulfilled. It can't be until the...

Amen to that.

A true Christian is one who has been spiritually born again. Jesus said we must be or we cannot see the kingdom of God. Does it matter if one believes in the Trinity, or in many gods? It certainly does. Let's say a man believes in the existence of zillions of gods on other planets and he is...

A lot of Mormons will tell you they are Christians. What they don't say is that they believe theirs is the One True church. That other faiths have some truths, but only the lds church contains all the truths.

Any religious group that believes in doctrines which clearly contradicts what God has said in the Holy Scriptures, are not true Christians. Any church that uses books besides the Bible are not Christians. Many of what Mormonism teaches come from the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and...

Even the devil believes in Jesus and trembles. Does this make satan a christian? The mormons believe in a false Christ. When we look at their many false doctrines, some are even blasphemous, we cannot in all truthfulness consider them Christians.
