A New Religion

There is nothing new under the sun.

Whose in?

At least the brothers that I follow, whom you chide me for copying, don't treat the faith as some kind of recreational board game Divegeester.

They took people's commitment to belief very seriously.

Commitment to belief?
What is that?
You have it wrong
A Christian is supposed to commit to Jesus.

Did you think my OP was somehow having a dig at you or the people whose ministry copy?

Oh that's good idea. I can see the other ones really worked out great for us.

No. I thought it ironic that after so much criticism about me following men, you are apparently seeking followers of your "new religion" game.

By the way, your suggestions that I take more seriously those who need to hear the gospel, was a taken point. And I did take that fellowship to God in prayer.

There has been some increase of me approaching people off the Internet for the Gospel.
The point was taken.

This thread is a little distraction from the usual melee in here, I really wouldn't take it too seriously if I were you.

As for your preaching; I think it is to be expected that if one believes the lost will be hung in chains and burnt alive for eternity has a result of not hearing the gospel, then that person should be doing everything they can to prevent it occurring. Of course my view of god is significantly different to yours.

You think starting a thread like this is an attempt to gain "followers" in a way that is comparable to how you are a "follower" of the religious writers whose work you regurgitate?

No, no, they have itching ears that want something else besides Jesus.

First they need a creed of some sort.

Imagine.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Once you die you will become the ape man or the walrus. Then you will live in strawberry fields forever

All those who wish to convert shout, coocoocachew!

Huh? Christians "have itching ears that want something else besides Jesus"? What are you on about?

"Regurgitate"?

Wow.

Just what are *you* "regurgitating" today?

I told you that since this is your ace of spades that you love to bring up again and again you should QUOTE me.

It is noted that you haven't the basic decency to accompany the serious charge with the quotation. You're integrity challenged.

I am not trotting out second hand dogma and doctrine memorized and internalized from reading books written by others and delivered here in long soliloquies.

That was the meaning of "regurgitate" that I intended.

[my bolding]

Where did I say eternal punishment was to someone for "not hearing the gospel" ?
I have quoted Paul saying divne vengence is upon those not obeying the gospel. (1 Thess. 1:8) ... and not knowing God. (same passage).

Your next post should include the quotation from me where I ever wrote that damnation was to those for not hearing the gospel.
