God is...

[themickey]

Although we are born in a fallen state, the Bible does make it clear in several places that God's judgment will be based on what we did/thought. People will judged with a righteous standard for their own sins.

Absolutely incorrect according to your cult book.
"You are saved by grace, not through works...."

 

[userque]

No. You are leaving out that there are many reasons to accept the Bible as reliable. The first point in this is to recognize that the Old Testament in Jesus time can be relied on to be the same as what we have today.

I can explain the whole way of salvation strictly from Old Testament verses.

This is something that needs to be given attention to, because this was not made up by one person, or many people, but orchestrated by God in a way that humans could have never come up with.

Can you think of another book that compares to the Bible in it's spread across time and authors and yet has a unifying and uncontradictory message?

This is lesser known, but a powerful fact. Those who seek, will find.

Your response does not make any sense at all.

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Right, but that isn't contradicting that God is going to judge people. It's showing that some will not be judged. Those that have been saved, through faith, will not be judged, because the judgment they deserve fell upon another.

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make.

You are not seeking hard enough, you just accept willy nilly that which you are taught.
If the gospel were trading, 95% would be losers.

More unsubstantiated personal attacks. We all see you for what you are. Please present your evidence.

Very Funny!

But userque is right. You have not shown any evidence. You simply make accusations.

I've shown a lot of evidence. I've shown that there is physical evidence available so that one can be assured that the Old Testament we have today is very close to what it was over 2,000 years ago.

I've shown many prophecies that were written in the Old Testament came true in Jesus' life or in the bringing back together the people of Israel to become the current nation of Israel.

There have been times I've also posted on archaeological evidence that confirms places or events recorded in the Old Testament.

There are some passages that are difficult to understand in the Bible, but underlying all of Scripture are the same recurring themes: God is holy, people exist in a fallen state, God is actively seeking people to become reconciled to Him, God has made a provision for our reconciliation, God will judge some and some will be made righteous. All of those themes are found in the Old Testament. They are also all found in the New Testament.

Christianity is based on lack of evidence except for the cult book which states, "you need faith to believe".

All of those themes are found in the Old Testament. They are also all found in the New Testament.

Just parrots, that's all the church does.
