What you’re describing is impossible, except for in cases like the thief on the cross. If we live long enough, after coming into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, Godly behavior will be the inevitable result. Works are not what saves us…just a result of having been saved. “For by grace are you saved through faith, it is a gift of God, not of works so that no man may boast.”

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

Do you not believe that the evil and suffering Jesus endured on the cross was all part of His plan? If He knew, in eternity past, that Jesus would have to endure the cross as part of His redemptive plan; then why is it so hard to believe God would will evil and suffering in our lives in order to glorify Himself through all of it?

@___TheGOOdWitch “Things that don’t exist can’t be the cause of other things…” but there is no God! This was parody, right?

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

@tracybeanz This is what happens when you’re on your second and third generation of kids growing up without dads. It’s not just mothers that are struggling with mental health issues. First step was kicking God out of our schools, communities and families.

@johnmarkharris @BibleInContext1 Genuine question - if the Bible was referencing 70AD, what part of the timeline are we living in now?

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

Paternity tests are your checkmate for the theory of evolution? The DNA jump from mankind's "common ancestor" to human beings is not observable, and completely different to the adjustments made to DNA between parents and their kids. The evolutionary theory requires new genetic information, while what we observe between parents and children is the passing along of genes that already exist. Apples and oranges wouldn't you say?

@V_ontwit @benwehrman @TakenAByte Not sure what you are getting at. I believe in the scientific method, but regarding things that are not observable, testable and repeatable - those things require faith...one way or another.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

@V_ontwit @benwehrman @TakenAByte Another way to look at things with similar design is to assume they had the same Designer. Much like people who know art can look at different paintings or sculptures and know they were created by the same artist. Just a thought.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

Once you understand that satan is the god of this world, and people are the crown jewel of God's creation, resulting in satan's ultimate hatred for us and express desire for our destruction...things will start to make a lot more sense about the world we are living in.

@DhouseatxHouse @clogabgab @ibrycecrawford Not quite sure about this…I’ll need to look into that, but I’m assuming you’re referring to just the New Testament.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

Yep - they have tried to convince the world that they have the authority of God by taking one verse out of context claiming that Peter is the one on whom the church is built instead of Christ. Confession to a priest is ridiculous - For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). The selling of indulgences - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Covering up for pedophiles. Praying to saints (1 Timothy 2:5 again). Pseudo worship of Mary. None of it is Biblical. Plus their whole platform is work based as opposed to faith based - For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).

They have intentionally integrated pieces of truth into their shit sandwich in order to deceive the masses.

@DhouseatxHouse @clogabgab @ibrycecrawford I, personally think the Catholic Church is one of the most evil organizations to ever exist.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

@DhouseatxHouse @clogabgab @ibrycecrawford I’ll try to look at some of his stuff over the next few days.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

@DhouseatxHouse @clogabgab @ibrycecrawford Can you show me where Jesus taught those things? I’m very curious.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

I hate religion - I agree that is has been a devisive tool that has been used over centuries. What I have is a relationship with The Lord and Savior. Religion is man-made, and employs a process that tries to get to God through their own lists of does and don’ts. Jesus had his own problem with religion. He rebuked the “religious” leaders of the time on multiple occasions during his ministry. Man cannot get to God on our own (religion), God had to reach out to us first (relationship).

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

@DhouseatxHouse @clogabgab @ibrycecrawford Hahaha - that’s pretty good. Gotta love Carlin. Fortunately, I don’t get my theology from him. One question, what if I’m right, and he’s wrong?

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

I agree that consciousness exists, and maybe in all things, but where did it come from? A lot of modern science is coming to realize that the conditions required for life to exist are so specific and must be exact to the point that they are leaning towards intelligent design (God).

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

If you’re really interested, look into the work of a guy named @WesleyLHuff - Rogan has had him on. He has a series of videos about whether or not we can trust The Bible. He approaches it from a historical and archeological perspective. Check out his page and let me know what you think. I’m ashamed to say that I’m not equipped, like he is, to defend the veracity of Scripture. The Rogan interview is a great watch.

[L Christian Smith @LChristianSmith]

Except there is no evidence of that. There is evidence, however, that the Bible is accurate…both historically and scientifically. It takes a lot more faith to believe what you believe than it does to believe what is in Scripture.

God and mankind have a very powerful enemy that wants to destroy Him and us…the best way he can do that is by keeping us from having a knowledge about and a relationship with the God of the Bible.

If you’re a reader, there is a book called The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel. He was an atheist journalist that was married to a Christian woman. He too thought she was crazy, and set out on a mission to prove to her that she was believing in a fairy tale. After a ton of research, he realized there was too much evidence to deny the truth of the Bible, and he ended up becoming a Christian as well. There is also a movie with the same title, if you’re not a reader, like me.
