There is God (Gen. 1:1), but there is no FSM. Saying their is no Zeus to follow is not an argument against God's self revelation in creation, Christ, Word.

The Christian Onslaught
by satinka in*sigh* i have been noticing lately there are a number of groups of "christians" signing up as members of this forum, with the obvious agenda of gaining converts for their own cult-like religions.
i have been wondering things like:.
hmmm...maybe i'll try ignoring them.. thank you simon for the space to vent.. satinka.

no 6 JWs may have a human-driven agenda and even demonic empowering (given their history and doctrine of demons). Children of God are led by the Spirit of God. Just as the Spirit lead Jesus to talk to the woman at the well (must needs go through Samaria even though it was the longer route), so He (not it) can direct believers to those with open hearts. Apart from that, we can make our own divine appointments by impartially going to all men based on our marching orders in the Great Commission. I obey God, not man. If I have knowledge about Muslims, I can go out of my way to reach them. Even if I don't, I still have obligation to share Jesus with all men (matter of effective or not). Many JWs will complain that the WT misled them and God did not try to reach them. This will not wash because of personal responsibility with Scripture (vs blindly trust men in NY who have been proven to be wrong many times), the number of Christians who have tried to reason from Scripture with them, and the internet (which is full of sound material to bring the WT and Mormonism down to a thinking, objective person vs indoctrinated one who cannot look at all sides). Jim Jones is culpable, but so are the former believers who followed him despite him claiming to be God and throwing the Bible across the church since they were to listen to him, not it?!

I have loved Jesus and JWs since 1978. I am not targeting vulnerable people, just valuable ones in the image of God. I am an ambassador for Christ sent by Him into all the world to reach all ethnos/people groups with the gospel. Those in the kingdom of the cults or leaving them need Jesus as much as atheists do. All have a right to hear and reject/receive the gospel, the power of God.
The Spirit is sending us here, but typical JWs will think it is an evil spirit because they are afraid of everything and anything and lack discernment.
I just watched Ann Coulter. I hope I am not perceived as the Ann Coulter of JWN?!

What say you Christians ???
by wobble init seems to me that most, if not all christians are really hung up on sin and redemption from sin and how naturally evil we all are.. my question, and observation is this : i had nothing to do with whatever you say adam and eve did wrong, i have always, throughout my life, treated whoever i came into contact with compassion, respect and love.. i have lived by the golden rule.. not many people, hand on heart, can say that, i can.. so, is your god going to judge me for the "sin" of some mythical forebears of mine ?
is he going to say that , because i did not believe in him, i willl be judged adversely, even though i lived by the precepts he is supposed to support ?.
all i can say is, if your god is like that, i refuse to worship or acknowledge him.. and i certainly do not want to get to know him.

As a Christian, I do not believe traditional Augustinian/Catholic/Reformed Adamic 'original sin' is biblical. I am in a minority in my circles. Rom. 1-5 will answer your questions. I will expand if anyone is interested. The bottom line is that God's holy standard is perfection and we all fall short of His glory in thought, word, motive, deed. We are all condemned sinners in need of a sinless Savior since we cannot save ourselves. Works based religions like Islam, JW, Mormon cannot save anyone. Only the blood of Jesus received by grace through faith will save. Wrong assumptions lead to wrong conclusions. If original sin is a stumbling block to faith, we can jettison it as untrue and search out a more biblical view that does not confuse morals and metaphysics. The Law condemns us as missing the mark, falling short, disobedience, selfish, etc. We could go through each point of the Decalogue and show how we have broken it in spirit and letter (lust/adultery; hate/murder; not putting God first always, etc.) countless times (one time would make us a sinner). We need the weight of the Law to break us before we see a need for grace.
The passion of the Christ shows us the awfulness of sin and the great love of God. The cross (not stake) is unnecessary in your view, but vital in God's view which is accurate (yours if flawed).

There is a big difference between following YHWH, the Living God, and false idols/gods/demons. Are you using the retarded atheistic Flying Spaghetti Monster argument (it is fallacious that there is the same evidence for God as the FSM)?

The existence of God, Deity/resurrection of Christ, salvation by grace/faith vs works are salvific, essential issues. Trinity, hell, creationism, (forget Mormonism), etc. are not so much. If one rejects God and Christ, they cannot be saved (sorry atheists/godless).

My neighbors are good Muslims and I have good friendship with them. I do not try to convert them, but I would if they were open. Behavior is not the issue (except in works based religions, the antithesis of grace/faith alone Christianity). The followers of Jim Jones did good works, but they ended up dead and far from God. False gods are cruel. Religion is Satan's idea, whereas relationship with God is the only way to go (heart vs externals).
Acts 16:31 I am not sure why jg would quibble about believing on the Lord Jesus to be saved (Jn. 3:16, basic as it gets; you can't embrace Jn. 3:16 and reject Jn. 3:36 cf. I Jn. 5:11-13). There is no merit or wisdom in telling people that all roads lead to God if they do not (mutually exclusive, diametrically opposed views are not equally true/salvific; most religions have more differences than things in common). Perhaps my distinction between behavioral and redemptive truth is a word of knowledge from the Spirit?
