We can choose to go into your church if we wanted to hear you preach or condemn your brothers in faith. While I am not part of the powers that be I can tell by past experience if you simply choose to denigrate others and are not here for discussion..your time will be limited...as on earth, so on this site, you have free will...but the consequences of your choices you cannot choose.

I choose to be friends with Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, all the cults...and learn from them all as well...

Thats right only certain ones are allowed to tell others how wrong they are and unenlightened....oh yeah CR has no Christianity board at all.

Silas, as a friend, which I hope we still are, your Posts and spelling, etc., seem a little dyslexic. Do you have problems in that regard? If so, I will pray for you (I will pray for you in any case). If not, you need to let your hands catch up with your thoughts before you Post, and we could understand each other better. (I'm sorry, but I have a Master's Degree in English, and I taught College English Writing for several years. Some things bother me more than they do others.) My Traditional Roman Catholic faith is for another discussion.

Yep not all of us are english majors or perfect typers....must be nice to be so much better than others. I will pray for you and not your physical problems but your spiritual ones.

Actually I will save you the trouble it is not only not in the bible it is unbiblical

Welcome, Dor, I see you have come with a great deal of bad attitude. That must be attractive to those souls you wish to save.

Yep. Ben Franklin conined that phrase. God actually helps those that admit they can do nothing apart from Him. He gives grace to the Humble and resist proud people.

Dor probably has a bad attitude for the same reasons I'm annoyed. In any case, dont worry about Dor saving souls. None of us can save souls. A few of us however, have the truth that leads to eternal life. Therefore, we only need to give the gospel and God will save whom He wishes. Jesus saves...Not anyone else.

btw that quote 'God helps those that help themselves" was actually made by Hitler ...

Actually, the saying comes from Aesop's Fables. The story goes like this: "A Wagoner was once driving a heavy load along a very muddy way. He came to a part of the road where the wheels sank half-way into the mire, and the more the horses pulled, the deeper sank the wheels. So the Wagoner threw down his whip, and knelt down and prayed to Hercules the Strong. 'O Hercules, help me in this my hour of distress." But Hercules appeared to him, and said: 'Man, don't sprawl there. Get up and put your shoulder to the wheel. The gods help them that help themselves.'"(3)
Now, there is an element of truth in that. You can't just sit around and expect God to miraculously do everything for you. That's what the Apostle Paul once wrote to a group of people with a lay-back-and-let-God-do-it-all attitude. It's in the outline:
"He who does not work shall not eat." Yet we hear that some of you are living in laziness, refusing to work, and wasting your time in gossiping. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we appeal to such people--we command them--to quiet down, get to work, and earn their own living. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12TLB
