Can someone answer this question? Who is the enemies of the Chrisians, (specifically the Evangelical Christians)and why ??? The athiests, agnostics, pagans, wiccans, panthiests, and on and on. They hate Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty. They prefer the spirit of satan. this is just a proof of what is known as CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISM. for people like this individual the whole christianity suffers. If the whole christianity were like this, I promise to each one of you that I would not be a christian at all. Awww... It looks like I struck a nerve.... The truth hurts...liars & thieves. For everyone else it means safety. Oh well.... Ummm I don't think you hit a nerve with him. Look at who it was that posted that. It was a Christian. You know one of those people who are supposed to be the enemies of those people. That means that even other Christians are throwing your nonsense back at you. And are you honestly saying that all athiests, agnostics, pagans, wiccans, panthiests, are liars and thieves? You are truly messed up in the head. You need to do some religious research before you come back to these forums

that's why we all have to be more patient with one another and understand that we are all human and we will always err we also need to take better care of ourselves, drink water, eat nutritious food and take plenty of breaks so people don't get too upset & lose their cool... we are all human & make mistakes...no one is exempt I know you are a good Man , Spider...God Bless You according to your bible there is no none good but god?? - donot call man good - even jesus recognized man's heart was continously evil. yes, tribo... However we are daily renewed ~ by the cleansing of our sins... that which was scarlet shall be made white as snow... Christ shall take our sins & throw them into the sea of Forgetfulness and cast them as far as the East is from the West tribo: i'm well aware of your belief's R, but even Jesus said not to call "HIM" good that no one but the father was good - correct? Yes, I do recall that now that you mentioned it Tribo, but i don't remember where it is stated in the Bible...

i'm well aware of your belief's R, but even Jesus said not to call "HIM" good that no one but the father was good - correct? Mark 10:17-20 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'" "Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy." Notice that Jesus never said "Don't call me good", Jesus was testing the young man to see if he knew Jesus for who he was. Quickly after being questioned, the young man went from saying "Good teacher" to "teacher". The young man knew that he was lacking something to make it to heaven, but his pride and love of money prevented him from following Jesus. He is unique in the gospels as the only person who came to Jesus for teaching and left disappointed. I would guess that he knew before he asked what was required of him. But notice the exchange in verses 26 and 27... Mark 10:26-27 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Jesus reassures his disciples that no man needs to be perfect, because Jesus (God) has made it possible for them to enter heaven.

I get a little confused with that one, because Jesus is God also... the second person in The Blessed Trinity and He is the living logo of the Father

I get a little confused with that one, because Jesus is God also... the second person in The Blessed Trinity and He is the living logo of the Father I don't believe Jesus was forbidding the use of the word "good", I think the point was that the true measure of good is beyond mankinds reach.
