I agree with Faithfulservant on this one. If a person does not come to Christ until the end, yes, there is little of their life that gave Christ honor, but they are with Him, not separated, if they have opened the door of their heart. I don't know if anyone has heard of the Share Jesus Without...

A very inspirational post, Juantoo3. Keep up the good work:)

forever live in the bliss and hapiness of the great power the tome will give us, if we handle it properly. Ian: (goodness, I'm glad I left the crazy thing alone, but I wish...

That's a great story, earl. That's what I want, much thinking of others, and very little of myself. The question this poses is, How? I believe through reading and practicing the Bible. It's a struggle, and even though I have not been on what I call "the path of growth" very long, I have seen...

Thank you for your views everyone. I'm planning on having a presentation in one of my classes on the topic of tolerance, so this has been helpful. Tell me this: Does anyone believe religious tolerance is saying that someone else's beliefs are just as valid as your own? (similar to Brucegdc's...

(sorry if this is out of order thread-wise!) There are a few things I'd like us to consider on these points. First, Christians do believe in one God, the same God as the Jews, because the Bible includes originally Jewish books. The Trinity is God in His three roles, Father, Son, and Spirit, as...

Recently I've been researching a bit on tolerance, and one Christian source is saying that the definition of tolerance is changing in today's society. So tell me, what is tolerance to you, and what is its significance?

Okay, I see you put a lot of thought into that, and I respect that. You said the absolutes above. What do you base these absolutes on? Anyone else here, please answer this for yourself as well. Good luck!

Something I haven't seen discussed on this issue yet is the social implications of running out of wine at a Jewish wedding in that time. The only link I could find quickly was in this sermon (I promise it does not blast any religion) http://www.allsaintsbrookline.org/sermons/DK011804.html...

Well, this is an interesting topic to me. Yes, we aren't all the same, that there are individuals with individual responses. Tell me, anyone, what are the implications of not having any false ways? What about the Holocaust? What about suicide bombers? What about forced slave labor? Were the...

(Trudy continues)taken seriously, I mean, who just finds a tome of power and plays with it like some hoodlum? I'm afraid to even speak openly of it, something might....

I'm a female. Just for future reference..:p

It's great to hear that you're searching the Bible for answers, dayaa. Keep searching and you will find answers. I know this is true because God has shown me so many things through His Word (the Bible).

I agree. "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs...

You're right, I should've worded that better!:) What I mean to say it that there is something in us that seeks spirituality. You're right, God doesn't need our demonstrations of faith, but He certainly deserves it. Psalm 24:1 says, "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all...

Inlove reminded me that I should introduce myself!:) Hello, I'm Adrienne, a student from the great state of Kentucky. I came to CR looking for a place where I could meet and discuss with people of other faiths. I'm a Southern Baptist by name, but I base my beliefs on the Bible and what God...

I agree that the Bible should be taken more as a whole. Even teachers and preachers I highly esteem have taken Scriptures out of context or used them in a way probably not originally intended. That's just one of the problems with following a person, they're able to fail, because sin is in this...

Yes, I also believe that much is misinterpreted or translated in a way that does not fully express the original meaning in the Greek or Hebrew. Still, though, the way it has remained so much the same over the centuries and millenia is astounding to me. Someone who knows more about this might...

That's quite interesting. Sounds like Rastas are on the right track, and recognizing problems. I hope Rastas and Christians do work on their differences and work together as brothers, as 1 Peter 3:8 (NIV) says, "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as...

Welcome to the board, I hope you learn a lot and contribute as well. May God be with you, A.
