Congratulations on being perfect. How did you earn your righteousness which gives you eternal salvation? Was it faith alone or are you just really special? Tell us cupcake and don't hold anything back. patheos.com Posted by Greg Almighty Ted Sorry for the delayed response. I did not say "perfect people only can “go to church”" I said "only perfect people go to heaven" Perfection is impossible to "attain" by keeping the Law. (That's why I quoted Phil 3:) It comes only through receiving the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ through faith alone. This righteousness was "earned" by Jesus through active and perfect obedience to the Law and imputed to our account by Grace through Faith. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." I appreciated that you included this; "Yes, this doesn’t exclude repentance and faith."

Since we already have relatively satisfying naturalistic hypotheses – on everything from the origin of the cosmos to the origin of life to whatever order we see – all supernatural hypotheses become redundant. It is incumbent upon the religious believer to demonstrate why his particular version merits being an exception. Exactly true, Satan really must have a total hold on you to post this, for who could presume disagree? Perfect in its clarity, even a dunce could understand it, unless that dunce's brain is mechanically driven to reach out in knee jerk attempt to look intelligent & grab any cut n paste from an apologetic site for lack of response. ( or that completely sick rock video that was absolutely a demonstration of a lost mind indeed.) <lol> In each instance, of course, what we behold is the operation of a mind virus that has efficiently parasitized a brain.Now, while it can’t be scientifically proven that god doesn’t exist, the burden of proof is on the believer to support his insistence on adding to physical reality. Exactly right again, belief can easily be shown to be pure socialization/indoctrination event, the devils must really got hold of you now. And that little detail only shows for the last 10,000 yrs we have observed a parade of many gods, deities always going "poof" or being modified at a fairly predictable & understandable rate. * You would be far better advised to employ your love & time figuring out ways of *saving real live children*, elephants & rhinos in Africa, than trying to save another supernatural diety, in a long line of gods & their clones, from extinction.

'Mind Viruses and Memes'..... The Happy Virus I caught the happy virus last night When I was out singing beneath the stars. It is remarkably contagious - So kiss me. * That was written in 1350ad approx, by one of the most famous Persian poets "Hafez", one can only imagine how the poetry & writings affected the Crusaders back then? Taking that kind poetry & literature back to Europe, they had nothing to rival it. And you think your Christianity evolved in a vacuum. Hafez is still held in high regard today in Iran, good way to understand them. You also see, one can post something of value as a response thats relevent & thought provoking instead of wasted, weird ass rock videos you pull out of your arse, that are the most infantile stupidities. I would suggest reading more Hafez, Rumi, Omar Kyham, since you have so little time to read the Bible, you'll be a better man for it <good luck with that>
