Why are you are lying? You made that judgment, not me. I dismissed no-one as non-Christian, and everyone can see it reading the posts.

Nor did I, Finn, any more than you did. YOU put those who do not believe as you do into some separate category by saying "Christians believe this." I put Fundies into a sub category of "Christian" by saying that not all Christians believe this. You can't have your cake and eat it, Finn: erither YOU marked a separation or I did not. Both statemernts were of the same nature.

No, you said Christians believe one thing, and "fundies" believe something else, and that can only mean that you do not see "fundies" as Christians.

Own your words, and do not claim I said something I never said.

Final comment.

You cannot reason with Anyone who defends what they believe as if they are speaking on the behalf of God.

And you said that "Christians" believe a certain thing and therefore anyone who does not must not be a "Christian" and that means that you do not see ahnyone who believes differently from you as "Christian."

Goose and gander, Finn. You are p***ing at me for doing exactly what you have done.

Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Very true. Withoyt faith it is impossible to please God.

The line you quoted is the opinion of the unknown author of Hebrews.

When you spend more time in the red letter Bible, the parables told as well as the lessons taught, faith isn't quite enough.

I suppose the Levite and the Pharisee who passed the injured man on the road had faith--but it didn't translate into action. The faithless (according to the Jews) Samaritan took action--and it was that which made him a "good neighbor."
