So let's start a list of the most fundamental Christian beliefs just for fun. Let's do it as if we were getting a new Christian started growing in the faith. In other words, leave the controversial stuff till page 10 or 12 at least. If you don't mind, each person introduce one point at a time. That way it won't seem as if one person is trying to dominate the conversation and maybe we can prevent anyone getting their dander up for a while. Remember to keep it simple - like a newly saved Christian were going to read this - after all, we all hope they will!

You were so careful to do what I asked that now I feel like an obsessive-compulsive third grade school teacher. (Wonder why that phase comes with visual ) If you're still with me, let's expand a bit. Here is my second go: The Holy Bible is the Word of God. The original authors were inspired by the Holy Spirit. A Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, full story, I'm hoping to put a list in my Bible of the absolute essentials to remember during personnal witnessing. I have an opportunity to go with someone doing prison ministry to see if it is for me. I was just asking if we had exhausted what needs to be on that list. I'm certain my mind will go blank on certain questions if I'm not prepared. I didn't put this in before because I do not want any undeserved kudos - please don't - I'm not there yet - haven't done anything but consider trying it.

John 14:5-6 "Thomas said to Him, 'Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?' Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said . . . and Jesus was there !!!! John 1 Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word 1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
