The only thing Buddhist about Tiger is his wanting to be one with his ball.
Nothing arrogant in recognizing there is only one way to God the Father, namely by the Son.
thank you.
it was perfectly in context and you know it. if it wasn’t you would not have needed such a lengthy sermon to prove that your JUDGEMENT of the situation was ever so much more enlightened than mine. and in your first response to me, you JUDGED me to be a non-christian who could not possibly understand such complicated theology as your original post. this has nothing to do with how one word is interpreted by our culture. our culture did not exist when those words were written. it means what it says... judge not, lest ye be judged the same way. it is not your job, nor mine, to judge who deserves the right to practice their religious beliefs as they see fit. God will decide who was right and who was wrong. religious freedom gives everyone the right to find out the answer.
Thanks for "judging" and reading my thoughts. No need to respond back we will just have to agree to disagree. Good night.
Very well said....and I believe they chose not to get back up.... :)
Nope. The saddest part was when he said he would play golf again. We’ll have to go through all this shi’ite and million more times before it’s over.
The worst part is he didn’t say ‘’You’ve enjoyed kissing clintons’ axx and excusing his behavior and lying for him, over 20 years you can just kiss my axx as well,,,for 40-50 years.’’
“...losing the most important thing of all, HIS SOUL!...”
A Christian should never pass judgement on another’s soul though we may have to end their Earthly existance. We may warn that their soul is in danger but it is a Biblical sin to pronounce final judgement. Final judgement is for God.
“As you can see, the Son of God said it, not a frail, sinful human being. “
Actually, some king in about 450 A.D. decided that sentence should be there, not Jesus.
Kinda sucks for all the billions of people who were born and died earlier than two thousand years ago. They all went to hell and could do nothing about it, because Jesus hadn’t come yet. Or, if you aren’t a witless fool, you realize the premise of this article is absurd and contradicts the very religion it intends to support.
Statements like yours is what creates the notion that the Republican Party is only for Christians. I am not a Christian but am a down the line conservative on every issue. I vote in every election, pay a huge amount of taxes and raise a family. I am staunchly pro-life and campaign frequently for conservative candidates and have never taken a handout in my life. So just because I am a Hindu do you want to lose people like me, how is the conservative movement better off ?
BTW Hinduism is a major religion that does no attempts to proselytize anyone. Have you ever heard of a Hindu in America creating any kind of problem at all ? Indians in America are the model legal immigrant community, your statement is just ignorant.
The Gospel of John was written by John before 100 A.D. There are many sites that corroborate this; http://www.carm.org/manuscript-evidence is one of them. You might find it interesting that there are 5600 copies of the New Testament in Greek and only 2 of Plato’s writings; however, no one seems to doubt that Plato’s words are genuinely his. Or do you?
If you’ve read the Bible, you would know that those who died before Jesus came were living under the first covenant with God and were judged according to their faithfulness and their belief in the coming Messiah. Yes, millions and millions of people won’t be in Heaven, but they chose not to believe in the one true God.
Actually, prior to a perfect sacrifice, believers after the first death did descend to Hades(Greek) or Sheol(Hebrew), but not to the Torments. Believers are known to have gone to a place called “Abraham’s Bosom”, also referred to as Paradise.
Unbelievers, then and now descend to a place called the Torments. There are many a recorded report of this location, which is associated in our understanding with a place where the worm doesn’t die and inhabitants seek their tongues to be moistened to satisfy their thirst, which is not satisfied.
All of Creation manifests His good work and none are without excuse for that predicament. There is a solution though, provided by Him, for all humankind.
