Re: Answered prayer

Nah, feck it, I was about to paste someone's quote and a witty retort(yeah, I know, that'd be the first time)... but sod it, Chico, if you're happy with your god, fine, keep it/him/her/whatever to yourself. But please, stop these inane postings where you're pushing the flame. Otherwise I'll have to make a complaint under the auspices of "Blatant Advertising".

Why are you so threatened by the Good News. Observers would think you have vested interest in suppressing the Good News. Do you?

Other general benefits of satanism, dancing around fires in nude while smeared with a paste of psychotropic drugs, drinking blood and lots of orgies generally. Not quite so brill as the goats bit obviously.

Great life, but I suppose the being carried off by Satan and burning for all eternity at the end of it was a bit of a turnoff for the more farsighted. Don't see why the C of E doesn't borrow a few of their policies, it would certainly reverse the falling attendances.

Yeh spod. Celebrate de good news, de lawd am risen and he love yo. Get down on yo knees and praise him, praise him to de hebbins. He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder. Sho nuff.

Re: Answered prayer

Why all the beating around the bush?

Presumably, LB, because he didn't know the answer, and had to go and ask his preacher.

you keep trotting out the same questions and when I respond you refuse to accept the answer. It does not matter how many times you ask the question you will never get the answer you want.

Re: Answered prayer

Chico, you (sometimes) respond to the question but you never give an answer - there is a big difference. Even your most recent reply isn't an answer, just a statement that Elijah believed in God and that Jesus is God.

It's a straight question, Chico. Can a non-Christian who has comported him or herself well in life go to Heaven? I would have thought this was a fundamental question asked of the Christian faith.

That would be an ecumenical matter!

Todays lesson in theology

I will answer your question in exactly they same way I answered BobTheCrate, John Galt et al when they asked it. Apologies for my brevity I do not have much time to go into detail.

What do you mean "comport themselves" well? Who decides when someone is good? Where is the definitive moral maker - were we all judged by the same standard irrespective of our background, sex or race etc. If we are judging by the world's standards then being good or "comporting yourself well" is fluid depending on the surroundings. So for example abortion is legal in the UK, therefore in eyes of UK society anyone who has an abortion has done nothing morally wrong. However go to the Republic of Ireland were abortion is illegal the opposite will be the case.

Now if we are judging by God's standard then the Bible says " All have turned away, they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good, not even one." Romans 3:12

And Jesus himself says "No one is good—except God alone." Luke 18:19b

So in the eyes of God no one is good. So what about all those people who never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus and Christianity (say Old Testament times). That brings us back to the story of Abraham - (like Noah and Elijah) was God fearing man in a cesspit of godlessness. God make a promise to him that he would use the decendants of son Isaac (The Jews) to bring light to a godless world. Later on the story of Ruth tells us that non Jews (Gentiles) who believed in God were also saved. Since then Jesus even himself has said he is the Way, the Truth and the Life - no one gets to the Father but through him and that is what I believe.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. They have done nothing wrong in a legal sense.

Morals are up to the individual, laws are something entirely different!

Anyway Chico, shut the feck up!
