You are saved by Grace alone. So what are you supposed to do after you are saved? Continue to sin? Continuing to willfully sin after you are saved is the opposite of what we are called to do.
Mutations that happen with a loss of information not an increase, thus evolution is not possible because in order to go from a fish to an amphibian you need to add new information. In my eyes that's simply common sense and doesn't require you to be a scientific genius or a creationist to work that out.
That's also not evolution. The body has inbuilt processes which enables it to do that. For example when a human is exposed to cold for a long period of time our hair will grow faster, this does not mean we are evolving into a new species now does it...
Wrong. There are not different races. There is only one race the human race which God created. All people on the earth are descendants of Adam & Eve. Then the worlds population was reduced to 8 people Noah and his family, they then repopulated the earth but due to the sinfull actions of the decedants of noah at the tower of babel God scatered all the people throughout the nations of the earth. That's where langagues come from. So we are still one race in different locations, we have different colored people due to a pigment in our body called melanin depending on different variabes such as climate, diet it can change. We all have melanin and its possible for one couple to produce a wide variety of skin shades in just one generation.
Acts 17:26 - From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

No we are not called to continue to sin, we are made new creatures so we should no longer have a desire to sin. But we are NOT perfect... This is the whole point, even a Christian sins, our mind wants to please the flesh but our spirit wants to serve God. The difference is a true Christian will try and resist that sin by fighting it and not embrace it as an unbeliever would do. Saying that we can lose our salvation is simply not biblical. Saying that means we are not relying on Christ. We are all sinners, yes even Christians but we are saved through grace and the forgiveness of Christ. Being saved does not mean you will never fall, but when you fall you get back up because of what Jesus did for us on the cross.
If you can lose your salvation, then what do you do with John 10:28 where Jesus says he gives eternal life and the sheep will NEVER perish? And also 1 John 2:19, "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us." You are teaching that we keep our salvation by works.edit on 31-12-2011 by RevelationGeneration because: (no reason given)

Its crazy, because you'd never see a thread like this about Islam, or Buddhism, or Hinduism. Just. Christianity. I suggest before you criticize Christianity, you open your eyes and think to yourself: are these people who claim they are christians, really walk the path? Do they really follow what Christ taught(such as tolerance)? Did you ever read the Bible? Doubtful. You probably just google scriptures that follow your needs, and manipulate it. Point and case, you've never experienced it, you dont know. And im a-okay with that. You believe in what you want.
P.S-Did you guys know im a fish? I dont have scales, or fins or anything, but im still a fish(see what i did there?).

Yes I did read and I do follow the path. I will never be perfect like my lord Jesus but it is my goal to be as like him as any man could. If you read through my posts you will see that my faith is genuine. However I can take no credit for this as I know that it is God that has given freely to me, and that as a sinner I do not deserve any credit for what God has given me. I am no more righteous than you for righteousness only belongs to God.
You can call me what you want but that doesn't change the truth. Anyone who says these following sayings does not understand the bible, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit.
1. You are saved by Grace alone
2. Anyone who doesn’t believe the bible goes to hell.
Nothing to add about the public school part ? No?
