Indeed!! And what are those fruits?? LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GENTLENESS!!
What were the Crusades about, again?
I'm not sure Phazelwood's momentary frustration and use of "BS" is cause for you to judge him. I don't think he's out there burning people at the stake (are you, Phazelwood), which is definitely not a fruit of the Spirit, by the way.
By preaching that mankind will have a second chance post mortem?
That is a negative effect on the gospel.
Not from what I have seen. You guys can't even agree on the foundation of your theology, AIONIOS.
The command of Christ is to be born again, in this life.
Again, more rhetoric. No proof of theology except for ET jargon.
LOL ... Agreeing and or disagreeing on certain issues is not tantamount to loving one another, though i can see you may think that it is. And i can see why you may not love very many people that do not always agree with you ...
Though you think UR has a negative effect on the Gospel ... That is not the same thing as having a negative effect on society which can been show or proven by actual events.
Eternal torment in Christianity = The dark ages(torture, murder, war, abolition of education, etc.) ...
Christ never commanded us to be born again in this life, he told us that we must be born again, but never stipulated when ... He Also commanded us to love our enemies.
And everything you wrote above was rhetoric also ...
God bless you Scitoamicks ...

Let me tell ya, I speak from personal experience and do not need to hide behind the expectation for someone to go through a whole web link to refute it.
I was raised in a traditional Christian home and every beating I got was justified in the name of saving me from hell. My parents did not express love, they treated me like a bastard.
Oh I can hear you now. "oh no wonder you believe as you do" "oh it is sad, but they weren't true believers" "oh not every Christian treats their children like that"
Oh, perhaps not, that doesn;t change anything, if it weren;t for the lie of eternal hell I would have a great relationship with my parents, so ********* if you make excuses for my parents in name of your pathetic God.
I don't make any excuses for your parents, however all that happened to you taught you not to be like them.

it has been said that america was/is a christian nation.
et doctrine is the predominant teaching in the majority of churches, yeah that is working out real good, the U S A has the highest per capita prison enrollment, prisons busting at the seams with the vast majority of the prisoners claiming christianity as their religion.
Hmmm...cursing on a Christianity forum...go figure..

These comments definitely reveal who has the fruit of the Spirit. Notice the ones who reached out with compassion and the ones who were sarcastic and rude. Phazelwood was hurting when recalling a tough childhood, and all you can offer is condemnation for a little acronym? Phazelwood, I'm truly sorry that you had to endure that, and I pray for your peace and a healed relationship with your parents.
HereforNow, yes it was me who said I don't think Christians really believe down deep that hell is a literal lake of fire. The main reason I say that is because that's how I was. I had relatives who died over the years that I was supposedly believing that, and I just figured they were "probably" ok. That's how everyone is that I know.

I agree with you, Christ never commanded one to be born again...He merely stated that unless a man is born from above, he is unable to see the reign of God....

Umm, she actually used a personal curse towards Scitoamicks (having to do with incest or being violated, I susupect) that was filtered out and cursed "his" God. IMO some people are going off the deep end over UR.

I am new to this concept and judging by its fruits it is of Satan. It is sowing hatred and strife. If it were of God, those espousing UR would not be cursing God or using profanity.
