Please let me clarify when I used the phrase Communist State. I apologise for using word Communist ,the word should have been Communistic. Hope that puts to bed the confusion.
The answer is they are all wrong.
Unfortunately I know people who think they are all right.
The book explains the Churches dilemma.
Look at the some of the reviews about the book on Amazon.
It may help some people in their Christian walk.
Take the test- how many do you agree with?
1)Salvation is within a Man.
2)we should rehabilitate a man,such as a prisoner,by finding “ good that is already in them and build upon that.
3)Undogmatic Faith should be valued and makes no difference what is believed.
4)Salvation obtained “ by our own obedience to the commands of Christ.”
5)Religion is thought to be necessary for a healthy community.
6)In practise “God exists for the sake of Man”.
7)..applied Christianity is all there is of Christianity.
How many did you agree on?
Just reading a must read book for all Christians.
“Christianity and Liberalism” by J Gresham Machen.
He points out Liberalism is an entirely different religion to Christianity.
I will post a great view from Amazon on the chapter regarding Salvation in a later post.
..and one final point from me. We were friends,you sent a a character assassination post that was unjustified to a person you hardly knew. Hurt was the result.You reply has always been,” get over it and move on. “ I have ,but you still have the high and mighty stance you were right.Shame.
“I have no confidence that a one to one would be productive”.
Deeryme-“ why don’t you just meet up again and reconcile your differences?”
The offer has been there for a long long time Deeryme,but the offer has been declined,wanting a Judge and jury encounter instead,unfortunately.
Have you repented of your “clumsy” post and offered an apology? Only a regret you used the word “ limp”
. You have not fully apologised with conviction.i have forgiven you,moved on,but you are still unrepentant. There’s the problem.”I’m only trying to help you in your Christian walk”,as the saying goes..
“..have a listen to John Lennox and Alister Mcgrath.Thats what I would do if I were you.”
I rest my case. Your low opinion and snobbery is blatantly seen in your post.
You haven’t a clue about me have you!!??
The words patronising,pompous and arrogant are words I didn’t choose lightly.
Your insulting post which led to our fallout ( which you constantly dismiss as “ get over it”) is the reason I use those words. Have I forgiven you,completely. Have I got over it,completely. But until you realise you were completely wrong ,speaking to a person you hardly knew,and unable to say sorry for the hurt inflicted ,I will consider the words fully appropriate.
