deep down
even those men knew right from wrong
for the law is written in our hearts
I think they were ignorant of many details
they just ignored their hearts
those thad did wrong
not all were wrong
at all
you had big societies
not all were evil
What about a mentally retarded man?
Can he truly be expected to find morality obvious
well yes and most do
Or does he require instruction
and if not, god knows
you should be teachers
the bible says
so you can teach
I believe living a Christian Life is NOT obvious, which is why we have the Bible, prayer, a community of Christians, elders, etc.
jesus will tell people
those that say they believe in god
We enter it ignorant and must learn
yet just do evil stuff
to them he will say
i have never known you
thereby pointing out that they did not truly believe at all
a christian life means being a good person. and yes, the bible is god's word. the bible says to give your life for your friend is an expression of the greatest love
the bible also says the letter kills
so to read the bible to save another person or teach him is to give your life
At this point I am convinced that the debate is based solely on different ways of communicating the same thing
the only thing im pointing out is
do not rely on your works thinking you will be saved because of them
rely on your faith
You say faith alone, I say faith without works is dead, but we both believe that a man of faith must live his faith out
god does not love boasters
well he does love them
but he isnt satisfied with them
yes but even if one is not a believer, one is already a good person most of the time
so works isnt really that much of an issue
just be a good person
