can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?
this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.
To the four people who disliked my post — and JWA in particular.
Please could you engage in a conversation? Tell me why you disagree. Am I wrong to say that the xtian gospel begins with an assertion about the depravity of man? Will Jesus punish those who disagree? Is it wrong to summarise the xtian message as, 'love me or else'?
This is supposed to be a discussion forum. When did xtians become so shy?

Phizzy - I am interested in your answers to these questions...
ETA - I don't think the link is working but it's my post three above yours ^^^

The Christian gospel has no appeal until it can persuade you that you are thoroughly depraved.
In a nutshell Jesus' message is - 'you are a worthless piece of shit. Love me or I will torture you forever'.
The Jesus of the New Testament is like an abusive husband. The gospel is a dehumanising message.
i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.
Hooby - Clicking 'dislike' is also not an answer.
Have you got time to stay online for an hour or two (while doing other stuff is fine) and engage in an actual conversation? It's impossible when you wait for days, ignore my comments and repost the same 'objection'.
Let me know when you have time and see if we can make any progress. Its 6:30 pm UK time so if you are free in the next few hours let me know.

Imagine a Christian group asked a baker — who supports pro-choice — to make a cake with the slogan 'All Abortion is Murder'.
Or an atheist group ask a Muslim baker to bake a cake with a cartoon image of Mo?
Should these bakers have the right to politely decline, or should their refusal leave them subject to prosecution?

Hooby - Page 28 and you have still not responded the challenge of the OP.
The following makes no sense from the perspective of creationism. You refusal to address this is embarrassing. Trying to assert that evolution can't account for the existence of any functional proteins is not an answer.

what right does the baker have to force the client not to express his/her opinion ? - Phizzy
None at all.
And the baker has the right not to participate in that expression.
Live and let live.

That would make deists into atheists would'n't it?
Yes. I don't believe in agnostics.

Wow, Jdash that 17 types of atheism is insane. Somebody is overthinking it.
If you are unimpressed by the claims of theism — an omnipotent deity who cares who you sleep with — then you are an atheist.

What type of atheist are you?
What types are there? - Not sarcasm by the way, serious question.
What made you doubt your faith in God?
Is there anything you can think of that can't be believed to be true on the basis of faith?
