Originally posted by @kellyjay Jesus preached quite a bit, and without changing a word of this text, I'd say it is better to
be humble than to exalt one's self over others.
Luke 18: 9-14
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a
Pharisee and the other a ta ...[text shortened]... everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the
one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Did someone exalt himself? The good Samaritan did not know Christ at all but he did what was right.
Originally posted by @kellyjay Actually no, we don't worship the exact same god. Without exception all the gods made
by man vary because each individual has what they think god is in their head, and that is
the one people either reject or accept in some fashion. That doesn't however mean that
they grasp God, the real one He isn't as simple as the ones we make up.

Originally posted by @kellyjay You are making that up, the Good Samaritan was just a story Jesus told to illustrate a point and yet you are comparing him to real people as if you knew where he went after he died, and why! You should stick to just the Word and not add to it or take away from the text as you have done here.
So the point that Jesus made when he made up the Good Samaritan story is the point you want and need it to be so that you can cite Jesus when you assert the validity of the point you want to make, is that how it works?
Originally posted by @kellyjay I don't have an issue with the good Samaritan, I'm more concern about the one that said
this, "...You are just another arrogant Christian"
Well you are an arrogant Christian. You are like the man who thinks he is righteous because he thinks he has the Spirit of Christ and others dont.

How many times do you take the time out of your busy day to run others down?

There is nothing about me that makes me better than anyone else, what Christ does is what
Christ does, I don't get to take credit for His mercy.

Hang on a minute! Do you mean to say that while you expect people to believe everything you say about your own Christian life and family is true but you are willing to try to brand me publically as a liar who has lied here for over a decade about everything I have said about my Christian life and family... you think that isn't you claiming to be better than me? Good grief, you are a piece of work, KellyJay.

Alternatively...
I do think I’m better than most in here but I’m only better because Jesus has made me better, I don’t take the credit for being better than others.

actually? Really? . . . .. feel free to engage in a logical discussion anytime. My previous post outlined 3 different ways of knowing God. You have " ,,Gods grace through faith. " . I know what you think this means but without being able to explain it , it remains a mere abstraction , a vague notion that no one has ever testified to
Originally posted by @fmf Reading the Bible and praying is what led to millions of American Christians voting for "creepy porn president" Donald Trump [and his huge tax cuts for billionaires who presumably, er... don't put riches before God, er... like him].
Well there you go. Reading and praying are clearly not enough

The problem here is that it is you who needs to "engage in logical discussion".
KJ is right. Your post was fatuous wishing, and had zero to do with salvation. Your "three ways to salvation" are simply wrong, and you spend your time in that post making fun of God's grace through faith, which you call "a mere abstraction, a vague notion that no one has testified to", presumably because you don't know what it is, and know zero about. The fact is that I have testified to my faith in this forum many times. It is something I have "on-the-ground" evidence of, and in fact, God's grace through my faith in Him has saved my life and changed my life immeasurably, that for you to come in here with your fatuous statements and mocking God's grace and the faith of everyone in this forum is unconscionable. You simply do not know what you are talking about, and KJ knows that, too.
It is easier for a camel...
