I believe that Jesus is the ONLY way to be reconciled to God. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I believe He is the Son of God and is God. I believe He lived a sinless life and then willingly laid His life down as the Lamb Who was slain before the foundation of the world Who took away the sin of the world. I believe He was raised again from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the Father's right hand. I believe He is coming back soon.
If you believe these things, you are my brother/sister in Christ, whether we agree on any other doctrine or not.
I am a dispensationalist, a believer in the pretribulation rapture, and a literalist (meaning that I read the Bible as literal where it intends, as poetry where it intends, as historic narrative where it intends, as a simile when it intends, as an allegory where it intends, or as a symbol where it intends, etc.) I believe there are prophecies yet to be fulfilled and that Daniel's 70th week is fast approaching. I have a very comprehensive body of research that has convinced me of these things and it would take weeks to explain it all, so I won't engage in discussion about it on a platform like this.
It's perfectly fine if you disagree with anything in my last paragraph. Lots of people do. Lots of people agree with me, and that's fine too.
If you disagree with anything in the first paragraph, you might want to reevaluate your belief system. Or not. It's always been and will always be entirely up to you to accept or reject Jesus. I hope you accept. God bless.
@Curi_Christian@Joyce19541982 Your argument is retarded. We all see the effects of the fall. So what? I honestly don’t care if you believe it or not, but your argument is weak and also stupid, since there is no mention of death before the fall. You have not refuted my assertion at all.
@BostonGlobe I wish them well back in Haiti. We have citizens that need those jobs. 18 months was the deal. It’s been 16 years. Long past time for them to return to their country.
The fall of Adam brought the curse. Arguing from silence isn’t proof of anything. Genesis clearly states that thorns came after the fall, so it’s entirely reasonable to think the fall changed the order of things. If you aren’t a believer, you can just not believe that is possible, I guess.
There are Scripture references to the restoration of all of creation in the future, so it seems that the Bible does in fact allude to a total corruption of creation at the time of the fall.
I honestly could not possibly care less about this. I didn’t care during Obama’s administration and I don’t care now.
We have mass illegal immigration issues, exorbitant food prices, the Iran debacle, and about a thousand other issues that are actually important. I voted for Trump, but his vanity projects are just distracting from the things that really matter.
@BreitbartNews He decided he was a murderer when he murdered someone. A high trust society cannot allow that to go unpunished. Of course, they’ve been letting things like this go unpunished for minorities for a while and now we have a low trust society. Who could possibly have seen that coming?
@QueenAnticommie@BeAngieP It’s not just things, though. Everything I own represents hours I worked and things I had to forego to do so. My things are a physical representation of my life and the choices and sacrifices I’ve made to get them.
