Maybe a Christian cannot become possessed.

Its the same as asking S4G an opinion on Christianity.

If you are in one of the groups, and you are wrong according to the others, you will wind up in hell. Now how is that for consistency on the main doctrine?[/

why has your religion killed more humans than WW1 and WW2 put together?

why do you still press yourself out in the open as a "christian" like that makes you different than any of other human being.

AND if it doesn't then why did you make this thread with that title?

Saint,

It would be hypocritical of me to post this.

There are many types of rock music that I enjoy myself. Could you point me to this exact post?
Originally posted by sizzle
One more edit: Also want to add that I disagree somewhat to this statement. Personally, I don't think that I, myself am addicted to rock music. And there are many others that I know personally, that I would not consider, addicted.

Many acts were done in the name of Christianity, but not necessarily by true Christians. "Wolves come in sheeps clothing." "Many shall come in My Name, but are not of Me." _Jesus Christ

The reason I can honestly claim not to be addicted, is that I can't tell you when I even listened to music of any kind. If I am addicted to anything, it is probably ATS!

This is a good point...yet we cannot finger-wag and shout "you are not a true Christian!" because how many times have you or I said/done/thought things that were not Christian? Time to set up the money-jar and drop a quarter for each time. I'd be able to retire in two or three years I'm sure

That is a very good point S4G,
But I was watching something on the History channel about the Salem witch trials, and there was mention made that the man that headed up those trials was not even a Christian.
Between 1917 and 1940, 130,000 Orthodox priests were arrested. In 1918, the Cheka under Felix Dzerzhinsky executed over 3000 Orthodox clergymen of all ranks. Some were drowned in ice-holes or poured over with cold water in winter until they turned to ice-pillars. In 1922, the Solovki Camp of Special Purpose, the first Russian concentration camp was established in the Solovki Islands in the White Sea. Eight metropolitans, twenty archbishops, and forty-seven bishops of the Orthodox Church died there, along with tens of thousands of the laity. Of these, 95,000 were put to death, executed by firing squad. Father Pavel Florensky was one of the New-martyrs of this particular period.
In the first five years after the Bolshevik revolution, 28 bishops and 1,200 priests were executed.

See what you may not realize is that each denomination and then group (jew who is the root of Christianity) believes differently. Trust me on this, or look it up yourself if you want.
I have said many a time, but in mainstream, evangelical Christianity, 3 of its main groups dont even agree on then tenets of salvation
The Presbyterians, Southern Baptist, & Pentecostal.
If you are in one of the groups, and you are wrong according to the others, you will wind up in hell. Now how is that for consistency on the main doctrine?

Great find, Saint!
I was unaware of these facts. Somehow in all the mud-slinging against Christians, this gets overlooked. Wonder why?

Saint4God, you are doing an excellent job with this thread and it was very sweet of you to make it for Sizzle.

Not sure why the Borg Team showed up to attack it.
Originally posted by AshleyD
Well, of course we know why but maybe one day they'll be mature enough to see a topic they have no interest in and move along. There are millions of other threads on ATS/PTS/BTS, right? Right? Yes, I thought so, too.
