MOS is nothing more than a zealot. Were he born in a muslim country, he would be strapping a suicide jacket on and blasting himself to smithereens.

Not a zealot.  My passion is my passion.  I want others to come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Yep, most likely I would be a Muslim. 

By the grace of God I experienced his drawing on my life and believed on Christ's salvific work.  Many Muslims have done the same.

I know, I know....heard it a zillion times...."can't suppress what doesn't exist....yada, yada". 

He exists, you know it, we all know it.....your choice to suppress in order to deny accountability.

yeah..because as a Christian we can't continue to sin and get forgiveness. You're an idiot

No, Christians can continue in sin, but if they do continue in willful sin after the message of salvation and grace has been presented to them and profession of faith given (by the Christian) they no longer have an advocate before the God the Father.  That's why many Christians will not prevail to the end.  We need to abide by the santification of the Holy Spirit and endure long suffering and humbly submit to the will of God even going as far as taking every word and thought captive.

God has never sinned.

You're a creation of a righteous creator.  You can be sinful, he cannot.

He is eternal and his law is eternal and his justice is eternal.

Spit on me and nothing may happen.  Spit on a police officer and you'll spend some time in jail.  Spit on the President and you may spend decades in jail.  Spit on an eternal God and you'll face an eternal fine. 

I cannot be the creation of something righteous, I contain many negatives, which would have to come from the source, ie god.

Punishment for eternity for finite things is absurd and immoral.

You choose to sin, you aren't forced.  You bring about decay in yourself.

They aren't finite things...they are eternal....infinite.  You just choose to suppress that reality of God.

Spit on me and nothing may happen.  Spit on a police officer and you'll spend some time in jail.  Spit on the President and you may spend decades in jail.  Spit on an eternal God and you'll face an eternal fine.

You can run from it for the rest of your days on this earth if you so choose.

You are all over the place. He doesn't choose to sin, he was born into sin and has a sinful nature. it is his nature to sin according to that work of fiction you swallow. You don't even know your own religion dude.

Yes, he chooses sin.

A sinful nature is a proclivity to sin not the active engagement in sin.  When made righteous as a believer we still have a sinful nature, but we repent of our sin and are guided by the Holy Spirit that sanctifies us...we trust in the salvific work of God.  If we choose to willfully engage in sin again we risk losing our advocate in Jesus Christ before the Father.

When I read about King David’s child with Bathsheba passing away and David suggesting that as a believer he would he see his child again in God’s kingdom it affirmed for me the innocence of children and others with disabilities that prevent them from making an honest choice about sin and Christ in their lives.  They don’t need salvation because being saved by grace through faith in Christ means we are saved from the wrath/judgment of God.  The innocents need not fear God’s wrath for they are without blame or need for judgment.   

“Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.  So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.’”

Christ also indicated how severely those that cause the children (the little ones) to fall into sin would be judged.  The children are lead into sin and out of innocence.   

As believers in Christ we are saved by grace through faith and thereby justified and deemed righteous….like the innocents who are inherently righteous we become like the them through Christ.  Anyone who comes to God and desires forgivenessness and righteousness will be deemed as such.

No, I understand "my religion" just fine and I'm grounded right here and now.

Romans 7:14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men5 because wall sinned—

Romans 8:7   For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.



2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.


The awesome thing about your religious book is almost everyone can be right.. it's just that poorly written

I hope "it cannot" wasn't your mic drop.   :-\   The law is just and God loves the law, but man can't fulfill it.  That's why Jesus Christ came.

Have a lengthy post in this very thread regarding the law of God and the grace of God.

I'll cut to the chase here. There is only one god and that is Horus. You really do know that in your heart, but your evil nature, stubbornness, and selfishness keep you from admitting it. I don't care if you finally admit it one day or not, though I hope you finally stop being pigheaded and accept the truth that your heart holds for you. I'll pray for you

There's only God expressed in Father, Son and Spirit.  We are aligned in righteousness with the Father via the Son Jesus Christ and indwelt and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

There isn't any Horus....sorry, way it is.

^ And there you have it folks. Typical dogmatic response. Cuts of all other possibilities to any other Gods.

MOS: "I am right, you're wrong. There is no need to assume any God you believe in is right. You're wrong. I am right."

The equivalent of a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum on the playground.

The epitome of an absolutely close mind.

LOL, my position hasn't been made a secret in 5 solid years.  Glad you finally broke the case wide open though!

Oh yeah, you're welcome for the reply....you did it!

I thought you weren't going to respond to me because I hurt your feelings?  :'( :'( :'(

No, it has not been made a secret, but your response clearly contradicts the times where you have alluded to the fact that you were an "open minded" individual.

That is the only thing I was pointing out.

Now, go back to your temper tantrum and stop responding to me, like you said you were initially going to do.  :D :D

You make me laugh at your naivety. You and I both know Horus is the only god, the only difference between us is you aren't ready to admit  that yet

Well, scripture indicates there is only one God.  I have personally and repeatedly experienced demonstrations of God's reality in my life.  Scripture has been demonstrated as correct in my life.   Other believers attest to the same both in and out of scripture.

Satan wrote that book you think is from god. Of course it uses another name for the real one true god. You've been fooled
