I would suggest that you do something about the beam in your own eye, before you worry about the mote in jar's eye.
I'll take it that you agree there is a fatal dilemma in Jars Gospel. Fatal for Jar anyway.
Edited by iano, : No reason given.

Re: Valid christian teaching?
How can I love God with all my heart, soul and mind when I do not believe in God?
As an aside: it should be mentioned that loving God with all heart, soul and mind is impossible (in this world at least) - even if you believe in him.
What chance the atheist indeed...
Edited by iano, : add qualifier

Re: Valid christian teaching?
I would imagine that, although impossible, points will still be given for effort?
They say that if you play "Stairway to heaven" backwards you get a satanic message. Talk about stumbling over the stumbling stone: The suggestion in the title itself comes straight from satans rectum.

Re: Valid christian teaching?
You gave a non-answer to the technical issue we were discussing and I assumed. Sorry

In Christ - alone

I don't even know how Christians decide who is a Christian.
Just writing about this silliness fills me with renewed relief that I'm no longer a Christian.
Gut feeling tells me that there is some sort of illogic going on in there but it is too contorted for me to unravel
But then some Christians here seem to be saying Catholics aren't really Christians.
My own view is that God is the person who makes a person a Christian. And he never unmakes one. Being a Roman Catholic doesn't make you a Christian any more than being anything else does. Nor does being a Roman Catholic stop you from being made a Christian by God.
Denominations have nothing to do with it directly.

Re: Jar On Salvation
There are a lot of people reading these threads who aren't going to do that. They are going to form opinions based on what thet read here, not in the Bible.
I sure hope they read the answers to my question:
how does one conclude that the "sheep and the goats" (invoked as some kind of proof text) is a causal one (ie: a sheep is declared a sheep because of their good works) and not a consequential one (they did good works because they are sheep)?
And form their opinions on those answers
