Strawman. That isn’t what I said at all.SeattleGriz wrote:I've already explained this. No one gets to heaven through works, and that is not in dispute. That is the ONE version I speak of. You keep pulling the judgmental version of Christianity, which no one agrees with, by acting like any one persons salvation may be at risk because they are "especially" evil. You pass judgement like a champ bro, when you yourself are just as guilty of commiting sin. There are no "levels".UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 10:55 pm There is only one true version of Christianity. The question is - is anyone on earth actually practicing that version? Is it the catholic version? The baptist protestant version? The mormon version? The russian orthodox version? Is it the gnostic version? Is it the cathari version? Or is it some version that no one on earth is actually practicing because humankind is flawed and might have misinterpreted God's words when they first wrote them down thousands of years ago or the leaders of the church bastardized them in their pursuit of power.
The God is tallying up sins and ranking is a strawman argument but keep pushing it if it makes you feel better. I don't think trump is going to burn in hell because he's a sinner. I think he's going to burn in hell because he is incapable of 1) admitting that he has sinned and 2) accepting that God or any other being is greater than himself.
I consider myself Protestant and that's all. Do you know who Paul is in the New Testament? His messages pretty much excoriate the churches of the time because they kept focusing on the law, which you keep doing.
You are simply wrong and too uninformed to know any better StUni.
You have decided that you know what I believe better than I do. That’s pretty judgmental.
How do you know that what you’ve been taught and believe came from god and not man? What if the gnostics, cathari or some other oppressed sect were correct but their teachings were oppressed by men in the early church because they threatened their power?
I’ll make it simple for you OSgBF - what does a despicable person like trump have to do to get into heaven?
