Remster 30 #26 July 12, 2007 QuoteQuote is this even news??? LOTS of denominations say that. That's why they were established, because they each believe they are the true church. There is really only one true church and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with any particular religion or denomination. What is this one true church, Paj?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pajarito 0 #27 July 12, 2007 QuoteWhat is this one true church, Paj? The church of believers. Those who have repented of their sin and put their trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation. Those who are saved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #28 July 12, 2007 Every major religion believes theirs is the one true church just as adamantly as you believe that Christianity is the only way. This 'I'm right and everyone else is wrong because God made it that way' attitude is exactly why I don't believe in organized religion.

We are all waiting for _any_ proper evidence of any god of anykind Pajarito... You saying you have seen the evidence is not evidence. A book written way after the fact, with countless revisions and contradictions is not evidence. Thats the problem. You are more then allowed to beleive its true, but that doesnt make it true.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #40 July 13, 2007 QuoteQuoteWe should put the evidence for Brahman up next to the evidence for the Christian God and see which one is more reasonable. Have you read the Hindu texts, or are you just going on what someone told you about them? of course he hasnt. why would any True Believer ever subject their mind to such heathen writtings? True Believers have no need to ask questions and seek answers anymore, they have all the answers they will ever need. Logic and Reason will never enter into the equation but those minor disciplines will not disuade the "True Believers" why would anyone seek larger truths once they have found the comfort of their chosen religion?? Far easier to wrap their security blanket over their eyes and ears and pretend that the rest of the world doesnt exist. immature behavior to be sure, but largely expected from those who havent out grown the 'training wheels' imposed by their parents and social group.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Zenister 0 #46 July 13, 2007 QuoteQuoteWhat can any Hindu god do for your sin problem? I don't have sin problem; that's the joy of being a heathen. Ding Ding! We have a winner!! I'm not a Christian, the silly theological structures created by Christians have no meaning to me. Sin is YOUR problem, because YOU have decided it is. What you define as "Sin" or an "offense against God" is just as meaningless to me as it is to Divinity itself. Your 'rules' do not apply to anyone outside of your faith no matter how much you insist otherwise. to use your silly allusion YOU may be an alcoholic, unable to function in life without wholly restricting yourself from certain activities and behaviors. However most people are perfectly capable of controlling their addictions/activities so they dont run/ruin our lives...and unlike you dont need a "support group" to be comfortable in the dark night. So enjoy your meetings.. me? I'm going to have another drink, still hold down a job and make it to work on time without abusing my spouse or kicking the dog and not feel the slighest guilt in doing so either.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Muenkel 0 #49 July 15, 2007 I have one simple question. Why would anyone practise a particular faith if they did not believe it was the true faith? If you're practising a religion you don't believe in, you're an idiot. Actually, I have another question. Why do you people who do not believe in Catholicism have your panties in such a wad over what the Pope has said?Note to Amazon: Nowhere in the Catholic Catechism does it say that anyone who does not accept Catholicism is doomed to hell. In fact, in the Catholic faith; judging someone else and proclaiming they are going to hell is considered a grave sin. In other words, without confession and reperation, they have put themselves on the path to hell.
