KM: St Paul had the complete picture.
More so then Jesus according to the Fundies here.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneI admit things have gone off the subject. What I noticed was that you hadn't been around for some time. The first post I see you make in some time and what it is about it? You are addressing a christian regarding so called contradictions within Christianity. Of all the posts you could make you choose to attack Christ's church once again (rather than reveal you own position)
Do you ever take a look at yourself? Here you've hi-jacked this thread in order to start a libelous attack. I mean, can you possibly be further off-topic? The way you twist the positions of others in an attempt to prop up your ego is pathetic. For one who professes to worship the God of Truth, you have little regard for it.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneThe same old quotes again taken out of context from the whole of Jesus's ministry. Your beliefs about Jesus are out of kilter and do not support a Gospel of grace , faith or unconditional acceptance. Your interpretation of Christ denies the saving power of his blood , the significance of the new covenant and the meaning of the last supper.
When someone takes to attacking another by spreading lies the loving thing to do is to rebuke him.
Of course there is nothing loving about attacking another by spreading lies.
God is truth. The truth will make you free.
"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free"

Originally posted by knightmeisterYou seem to have completely missed the point of the post that you're responding to. I'll try to state it more plainly.
You are still doing it , even now ...knock ..knock ..bash bash
Here let me show you what stating your position actually is....
My position is that I believe in the saving unconditional love of christ. It is the love and grace of christ that transforms me and helps me accept myself in my deepest , darkest places. Knowing that the love of God can ercome sin yourself. If you cannot live by what you preach then why should anyone listen?
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneIf you look carefully you will see that I have been careful to include clear and definite statements about my position and how my position relates to me personally. I included them alongside my rebuttal of your position because it's important that I don't just talk about stating one's position but I also demonstrate it. There is a balance to be struck between criticising another's position and stating your own. This I have done. I did this both in anticipation of just such a response from you.

Can you really not see the hypocrisy in your being critical of my position for being critical of your position? Here's an example of a single statement made by you that fits the very definition of hypocrisy:

Originally posted by knightmeisterHow about answering the question. I'll try to simplify it even more for you.

Originally posted by knightmeisterRead my original post again. It places no wedge between Jesus' teachings and Christianity. Like I said earlier, "All I asked Josephw was if he recognized that 'Christianity' as a whole is filled with contradictions just as 'science' is." This is a matter of fact. Or are you under the delusion that all Christian denominations are in complete agreement?
If anything your post was looking to hijack the thread by placing a wedge between Jesus' teachings and Christianity.
Originally posted by no1marauderOh come on! Jesus's whole philosophy was based on the idea that the Holy Spirit would guide his church "into all truth" after he had gone. Infact , more than this he said he wouldn't actually have gone away (only physically) . Therefore what we must ask ourselves is whether Jesus and his father would have allowed his message to have been hijacked by St Paul in such a grand manner.
So he claimed. He never met Jesus though. Why was his picture "more complete" than the ones who did? Don't you find it odd that he never actually quotes Jesus?
Originally posted by knightmeisterWe both know that I've stated my position to you countless times elsewhere. Why do you insist on lying about it? Like I told you before, whether or not a given individual has overcome sin has absolutely no bearing on what Jesus meant when he said the following:
This is why I say you have not stated your position--> You claim that we must overcome sin 100% in order to be accepted by Jesus and saved but you will not say if you have overcome sin yourself. If you cannot live by what you preach then why should anyone listen?
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneGod lies ! For example,
