Wow!, Now your true Christian nature is brought to the light!!! I expect this from people who pick and choose what to believe within the Bible. Because it is evident that you overlook verses stating not to judge others%u2026.but I%u2019m sure you have found a few verses that support this notion. Regarding the Church being a cult%u2026.do you not know the definition of a cult? The word cult has about ten different meanings and I%u2019m sure if you read them you would realize that every Christian group can be considered a cult especially if it is not accepted as mainstream. You, just like many others have conformed to proclamations that the Church is a cult and also the notion that there is no revelation. So you are saying that God spake and does not speak? So you are saying that He has done away with revelation in this time because we are not as important? Do you not know the History of the creation of the Holy Bible and how it was put together? Do you agree with the Roman Catholic Church? Because if not, you are contradicting this belief because they are who decided what should be included within Bible and what should not. I believe the Bible to be divinely inspired, but I realize that there were probably some things within other books that were not included that just as well may have been important.

Believing there is no more revelation%u2026.do you believe in attending Church? If so, which one and how do you know their teachings are in line with the teachings of Christ? Did an angel reveal it? How then, if revelation does not exist do you explain Baptism? Jesus Himself set the example and commanded that everyone be baptized%u2026.so do we need baptism today? If not, how do you know? By stating yes or no, you are proclaiming a revelation that it is or is not needed%u2026are you not just a person? Who are you to make this decision and who gave you power and authority to do so? If you do believe in baptism, who then has the authority to perform it? If you do not believe authority is important then explain why Jesus specifically required John to do so and not others. Does it not state in the Bible that John had authority? Did you overlook that verse just as others ? If you don%u2019t believe in revelation%u2026is there a certain scripture you account this belief? By stating revelation is done away with is that statement not a revelation concerning the scriptures? Do you not believe that if you ask God for something He will give it to you? Then, do you profess that God ceases to be God?
Matt. 7: 7, 9-11
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matt. 21: 22, 24
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
John 14: 13-14
13 And whatsoever ye shallask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 15: 7, 16
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 16: 19, 23-24, 26, 30
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name:ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth
These are ONLY a few%u2026many many more. As for the God thing. We do not believe we will be higher than God, but being that He is our Father in Heaven, we believe He wants for us, what He has%u2026just as any Father would want for his children. Do you not believe we are all His children? If not, then you also don%u2019t believe in many verses contained within the scriptures. The scriptures themselves profess we will be gods and heirs of Christ. What is an heir? Is the definition not A person who inherits or is entitled by law or by the terms of a will to inherit the estate of another. A person who succeeds or is in line to succeed to a hereditary rank, title, or office. One who receives or is expected to receive a heritage, as of ideas, from a predecessor? So what your really saying is that you don%u2019t believe the Holy Bible to be true? Or you do believe it to be true, but only parts and you pick and choose according to you own beliefs and desires? Is that not pride? Does not God council to not have pride and instead be humble? Everything this Church believe can be found within the Holy Bible%u2026while we take the Bible%u2019s teachings seriously, other Churches simply overlook the commandments or teachings. So before you tell me I belong to a cult, please, oh please, tell me which Church I should join and why. By stating that Church is not important or going to a non-denominational is still stating a denomination. And don%u2019t forget, by stating that all of them are incorrect you are agreeing with the very position of Joe Smith himself, and therefore, contradicting your very statement%u2026

Ps. 82: 1, 6
1 GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Gen. 1: 26
2g And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
John 10: 34
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Acts 17: 29
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man%u2019s device.
Gal. 4: 7
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
1 Jn. 3: 2
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is

Rom. 8: 17
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Less..

I admire your efforts in witnessing of Christ and Christianity, but I think it is important to realize that it is "Christians" who make people hate religion, simply because we are viewed as hypocrites and contradict overselves... For example, you stated that in Christianity it is by grace alone we are saved and MANY MANY MANY Christians profess this notion. And Yes, it by grace ONLY that we have the "opportunity" to be saved, but it does not mean we will be. You can have fa More..ith and believe all day long, but if you still do things such as drink alcohol, smoke, sex, etc. you are not going to be given grace so easily. I think Christians focus on this belief solely to justify their actions and sinful nature. And yes, we are all sinners and come short, but that does not mean we can simply move on. It takes repentance, devotion, and complete change of heart in order to be saved by grace...and many fail to mention these actions...I know the few verses that emphasize the importance of grace but PLEASE do not overlook the ones that emphasize the other....by doing so you would believe that the Bible has errors and that not "all" of it can be considered....

James 2: 17-19
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 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.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Matt. 5: 16
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matt. 7: 21
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Rev. 20: 12
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rom. 2: 13
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Matt. 5: 6, 16
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
James 1: 22
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves
1 Jn. 3: 18, 22
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Matt. 16: 27
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
1 Cor. 3: 8
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
2 Cor. 5: 10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Eph. 2: 10
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Rev. 2: 23
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev. 22: 14
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Less..

You must remember the gospel of Ronald. Ronald 2:7 states "Those who who speak in Jesus' name are destined for harsh judgement at the pearly gates." This means that people who preach Jesus' word to others are sinners. No man can speak for Jesus. Jesus is lord god. And the son of lord god. He's both. And Jews are destined to hell if they don't except Jesus as their lord and savior, correct? Anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus is going to hell? So...does that mean that 67% of the world's More.. population is going to hell? Please explain. Less..

Hello, yes it is Keith Green. And yes, only those that have been forgiven of their sins and follow Jesus Christ will enter heaven. Remember that Jesus Christ said He is the only way.

The Quran waters down the gospel of Christ by limiting Him to just a prophet. It is anti-christ and Allah i More..s not a god of unconditional love. But the God of Jews and Christians is. A God not of unconditional love is pagan deity. This life is the only chance we have, once we die there'll be no second chances. That is the gospel message. And we cannot lower the standard. Less..
