In the same way, just because Hindus conceive of the Godhead in a polytheistic way while Jews, Christians, and Muslims conceive of the Godhead in different monotheistic ways doesn’t mean that all these competing ideologies are not equally true.
Actually it does. Ask the Bals or Moloks. To deny Christ is to deny God!
Bkmk
Excellent. TY.
Yes, a good read. I’m thinking of the Prodigal son here.
Amen. I pray daily for my adult children who have rejected him.
IMO, this is exactly why it is a mistake for anyone to go beyond the Nicene Creed in determining what makes a Christian. Not for the sake of other Christians, but for the sake of each Christian.
If one believes the Truths of the Nicene Creed, one will be a Christian, and one will act like a Christian to the best of one’s ability.
I would go so far as to say, if a person believes in the historical reality of Jesus, then eventually everything else falls into place. God does not expect much from us, IMO, much less erudition in defending complicated theological propositions.
And history has shown beyond any doubt that holding complicated theological positions as vital and necessary to the definition of Christian has been and still is the source of pointless conflict far beyond the Words of Jesus.
Nothing personal intended. My caps were locked and I kept the comment in caps for emphasis.
Appreciate you got the point of my original post. Sorry you got side tracked by my reply.
Same text (in TownHall.com under a different title) had a thread here 1/23:

Christian ? Hip Hop group.
Can there even BE such a thing?
Do they hold their concerts in phone booths... wait, do they still have phone booths?
I’ve tried to listen to Hip Hop, but all I hear is “beep”, “beep”, nigga, “beep”, “beep”, you, “beep”, sucker, “beep”, “beep”, mother, “beep”...
OK my bad- was just confused- sounded like you were angry for armed reason
Well said. Tagline worthy, so I’ll update the tagline page.

I know a lot of people are gonna be perturbed at me when I say the following but this is my take on all this.
I don’t see too many people who renounce their faith but I do see people many people like the prodigal son who back slide with regard to their faith and then came back again.
When I see somebody right now renouncing their faith like this guy, then that tells me clearly that they didn’t have much phase to begin with.
As far as I’m concerned this guy was probably a big phony and used his Christianity to get what he wanted money pus*y, fame etc.
Let’s see how this ends up but that’s like my opinion.
Not at all Bob. I speak sometimes with a vigor that is interpreted as violent. lol
