I post here as a non-believer. I am not a Christian. My former Christian self is not in competition with or engaged in any way with your current Christian self.
I am interested in discussing your current beliefs: the claims you make about you and me. And I am interested in discussing my current beliefs.
My current beliefs about your current beliefs are ...[text shortened]... es to questions about your beliefs are not going to be found in what I believed in past decades.
I'm here as a believer, which has nothing to do with anything.
I'm interested in your old beliefs.
So I'm asking.
If interests are all that matters, should I assume yours are the only ones you care about?

It is sad yes, but having a few years under my belt it isn't hard to see. Life can be difficult
and depending on God our trials will test our faith! If our faith isn't on something solid and
real it will and can crumble when tested. We either have God or we are making one up, if
we claim to be a Christian without God's Spirit, or we are just some type o ...[text shortened]... t, or worse yet we find ourselves standing
before Jesus and hear the words, "I never knew you."
Your constant talk of having Gods Spirit yet at the same time denying Christ by your doctrine that good works is condemned, and by questioning how many good works someone needs to do and other such foolish infantile questions. The Spirit of Christ is his teachings and commandments. Anyone who has read these teachings and put them into practice has the Spirit of Christ.
Your claim that you will follow out your life with good works because you have Gods Spirit is a delusion. What counts is your actions.
-Removed-He attacks your God.
He attacks your Jesus.
Now, that's fine, but I think him being a former Christian is what rubs me the wrong way.
You would think he would have some...any...kind thoughts about it all, but he doesn't.
I can't put my finger on it exactly, and will give it more thought.
But I will say this, as an atheist, Ghost treats Christianity with much more respect than FMF, not even a contest.

God can be bribed? You still admit you believe this?
You can not have God's Spirit and still belong to God?
The Good Samaritan was an example Jesus used to let people know everyone is
someone we should be taking care of. Was He real, don't know, so hard to say.
Do you think people who do good works can do anything else they want and get into
God's Kingdom?
What would you know of my life?
Judging are we?

"Bribing God" or simply 'obeying Jesus' commandments'?
