I believe so

@dbel I forgot to ask, how are you doing? You asked me so it's only polite.

😊 I appreciate you asking! I’m doing pretty well, probably going to sleep soon unless you have stuff you’d like to chat about!

not really, have a good night.

You too, thanks!

i believe in jesus but im not reposting that lol

I aint religious but i am pretty sure reposting the pic aint gonna get you into heaven either

It’s not

It's like a pyramid scheme for meme

Is that kid even old enough to go to high school?

lmaoo

Here’s a debate:

Should the Church allow LGBTQ members?

I say no

By grace you have been saved through Faith, not as a result of works, but a gift of God

Works are a result of salvation. Salvation is not a result of works.

Should the church tolerate people who believe that killing people is moral?

Should the church allow people who do not agree with fundamental beliefs in the church?

If your answer to any of those questions are yes, your wrong.

And I dare ANYONE to show me I am wrong with logic.

It’s not plus it’s spam plus showing that you love Jesus doesn’t require that photo 😂

Killing people isn’t always wrong though. While I would say it’s almost always a tragedy there are many cases where killing people is acceptable or needed

Even in Ecclesiastes 3 we see that there is a time even for war

For intent of my argument, they are not talking about self defence. They beleive that killing people is perfectly justified and okay.

So James 2:24 means nothing?

I would also like to mention that there have been “religious people” that weren’t all that good of people and used their faith to defend their beliefs and their acts

Those are people who use their "faith" purely as a crutch to justify themselves, ans morally browbeat others. At all other times you will never see them claiming to be so faithful, not that they acted out anything proper in the first place

That’s not always true

Your more so describing someone like Hitler, claimed to be Christian but secretly slandered them

There are also plenty of moral busybodies in the regular world...

What about the Spanish Inquisition? They seemed awfully religious. They thought what they were doing was for the betterment of the Church. Or literally any of the Popes that had sex or did things against the church. Or those in the early church who taught things contrary to what the church taught. All religious and faithful, but most people don’t considered them as good people

James 2:24 is talking about works being evidence of saving faith.
