Guest Butero Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ever read James 1:26,27? If any man among you seem to be RELIGIOUS, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's RELIGION is vain. Pure RELIGION and undefiled before God and the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. The word religion was threskeia in Greek. Like it or not, Christianity is a religion. Why kick against the pricks in denying a fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He met Jesus and gave his heart to Him and was saved. 7 years later when his church found out he was saved, and he found out they were not saved, he was kicked out of church and family. Same thing happens every day in Jewish and catholic gorups and others. 9 minutes ago, Rick_Parker said: How can a member of the RCC be saved? They may hold to "saved by faith alone" and still be a member of the RCC. Wouldn't the same hold true for anyone who holds on to something because of culture or tradition? We are saved by what we believe, not by how we behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew 23:2,3 The Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do, but do not after their works: for they say, and do not. Most of them were hypocrites, but Jesus did say that they were in Moses seat, acknowledging their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff, those things happen everywhere , God is the judge of who is a true believer and who is not, when we enter heaven we might be surprised who we meet and miss the people who we think should be there? Just saying , it makes no sense to judge religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what Butero is saying we need to have undefiled religion , I forgot it was mentioned in the Bible, there is so much man made religions these days which are so far away from the truth..

Rastas have nothing to do with Jesus & salvation. Do you believe a Hindu could be saved, while being a hindu and worshipping the hindu god Vishnu or Shiva? How about the Stonehenge earth worshipping Pagans are they also Saved?-- What kind of Christianity is it that you understand and adhere to? that all paths lead to GOD? Well, have you checked out your Bible lately? That's not what Jesus said. Rasfafarian is spelled C_U_L_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
