People ARE Mixing the Gospels Together!

jar will likely argue that Pauls interpretation of Christianity differs from the Gospels.Bob, in order to successfully argue your point, you will have to show that there is such a thing as "Original Sin". jar believes that people are not born damned, but rather aware of the difference between Good and Evil. This is why he emphasizes Jesus life and teachings being of greater importance than the Death, Burial, and Resurrection. While I believe that humanity cannot achieve a worthy life in and of themselves--without Holy Communion, I also agree that we should try and do our best and admit when we sin. I understand that many of us believe that we can never earn our salvation through good works alone, but does this mean we shouldn't try and do our best? (Not to earn salvation, but simply because it is evidence of the Spirit within us)

Allow me to make up an analogy.
Using the example of a whole pie, in order to surrender a portion of reality to Lucifer, Lucifer would have to justify his own existence. God allowed evil to exist and in so doing surrendered His right of control and Lordship over a finite area.This area symbolically or actually becomes hell. Thus any angelic being that was fallen needs space in which to exist.

Speaking as a Faith/Belief Mod, I honestly think that Bob Bobber (and to a lesser extent Greatest I AM) are spamming their blogs and have little if any interest at actually discussing anything here. This goes against my idea of the purpose and spirit of EvC...we all are somewhat of an internet community here and though we argue and fuss and disagree, we do so in increasing knowledge of how each other think. Bob Bobber and GIA do NOT do this. They simply regurgitate the blogs and posts that they wish the internet-at-large to read for some odd reason. I am losing patience with these people and unless they actually take the time to have a normal conversation with us that cannot be googled elsewhere, I vote to permanently ban them. Percy, if you see this, what do YOU think?

I figure that bob will see this and read it, so Bob---do you really want to get to know us and have a discussion or do you feel as if you have a mission to enlighten us? Please be honest---as I have been honest in my feelings towards your posts--not you personally, whom I quite fairly don't know. We are not some private club, but we do want someone who posts as frequently as you do to embrace the spirit of our forum as well as our Forum Guidelines. We want you to learn right along with us instead of attempting to teach us something. What frustrates me is that you dont bother to slow down and explain yourself as well as being humble enough to learn a thing or two from us. Once you come off of suspension, feel free to be honest with us. (or at least me! )
