I’m Catholic… that boat don’t float. You cannot say a few magic words and have a ticket to heaven. You must do much more in life than that and you’ll be judged accordingly. But by default I don’t do the whole born again thing.audiophile wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:45 amThat was in the beatitudes, but that wasn't the main message (And I would contend it's not "religion").
Jesus came as image bearer of the Father - What Adam was supposed to be.
Jesus came and lived and died for us to show us the will of the father.
Also, you cannot trust is what you are doing to gain your salvation (otherwise Jesus died for nothing) you have to trust the Father.
You recognize the sacrifice and get your heart in the right place to trust the will of the Father.
You do the right thing not because of obligation, but because of your respect of the Father that still loves you even though you screwed up and even rejected him multiple times - you can clear the guilt of your past failures to become a new person (be born again).

Re: Why women are fleeing the Democratic Party
I am not Catholic, but I don’t believe you can say a prayer and be good either. Faith without works is dead. I like the phrase, “I was saved, am being saved, and will be saved.” Like St Francis of Assisi says, “Preach the gospel. And if necessary, use words.”
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

My question which I have never gotten a straight answer to is:MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:08 amI am not Catholic, but I don’t believe you can say a prayer and be good either.

If I say “I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and personal savior” or some variant thereof and then I go on a crime spree am I still gonna be good because I’m saved already? Does one’s saved card / ticket to heaven have a revocation clause?

Re: Why women are fleeing the Democratic Party
You both have misunderstood what I was saying...
If you can obtain salvation by works, then why did Jesus need die for our sins? He would have died in vain! The prophet Isaiah makes it crystal clear: we are unclean and our righteous works are like filthy rags to God (Is. 64:6). As does Paul in his letter to the Romans, “All have turned aside…no one does good, not even one” (Rom. 3:12). The picture is quite clear. God is holy and righteous and our works are not.
Works are an outgrowth of the will of the Father, not some sort of twisted obligation to obtain salvation (as that is impossible as mentioned above). Get your heart in the right place first!
But RT you bring up a really good question! I think this answers it:
Romans 6:1-14
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Who here believes the rhetoric spewed by proclaimed Christian posters here and Kristian Trump supporters matches the teachings (New Testament) of Christ. You preach one thing here and claim something else about your Sunday habits.

Re: Why women are fleeing the Democratic Party
I was one of the first #nevertrump on here, so I'm not sure who you are referring to. It took me about two years to warm up to the idea of him being president.
Here is proof:

Way out of what?
I was skeptic, I didn't believe he would follow through with his promises.
Trump did a better job than I had anticipated...

I was trying to rib you because you were a NEVERtrumper (You'd rather run screaming off a cliff while on fire than vote for the guy) and never only meant something until it didn't.
