Freethinkers And Skeptics

You can be a Christian and still be a free thinker, we are told to test EVERYTHING by scripture. That implies that we are suppose to research all things. Not just what we want to accept, but we do not get caught up by the illusion and the fad of the day, because we are grounded firmly by the scriptures.

On a silly note:
Stop using the word "Whatever" so much, it is used too much by 13 year old girls who are talking way above her ability to debate. "Oh I have like no real intelligent reply, so like Whatever, dahhhh." Sounds way too California. I know you are much smarter than that. It was voted the most annoying word for a reason.

Whatever (slang), an expression of (reluctant) agreement, indifference, or begrudging compliance.
"Whatever" was voted the word "most annoying in conversation" in a new Marist College poll, easily beating "you know," "anyway" and "it is what it is."

whatever Mr. smarty-pants.

sure ka? hmmm... do you know what is politics and what is dogma? can you differentiate?

Jesus The Christ was even a freethinker,
--- how come he promote dogma? dont get confused reg...

This an excellent point and many do not know the difference. I as a true Born Again, fellowship and attend no man-made agenda driven church, but choose the path of Christ's own Universal Church. For a church to demand your tithes is a blaspheme of that church, even to give man's church a tithe is a sin. The desire for our money over the desire of our soul's salvation is the main sin of all man's church.
God put the riches into the Earth, gave his word for free, and gave his son's blood for our salvation. So why does God need your money? Why is it deposited in a man's banking account? Why does the church charge you to hear God's words, when he gave them freely to you? Why does the church claim they are your salvation, when Christ said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"?

This site has an excellent definition and description of the differences in the belief between the two camps under the umbrella of the Christian Churches.

Jesus kontra kaayo niya ang dogmas oi
--- site anything brad... nano naka ingon man ka?

sometimes we confuse Christianity with Churchianity
--- hmmm, Im not after of the church brad because its clear. I am the way the truth... not anyone or any institution. I dont believe Christ is on politics, he manage the universe beyond our comprehension. I dont believe Christ promoted Dogma. No religion will save you dba? so question is how? "if you love me keep my commandments" mao rani brad.
--- thats why i always stress out, its all about christ and christ alone... if you follow the church you doing it wrong, follow his commandment you can never go wrong.
--- i hope you see my point.

that is why Christ gave us an assurance... "if 2 or three are gathered together in his name he will be in the midst of them..." its because you do need a big church to worship him.

again this is correct.

an excellent point.

@kebot....ok....medyo nalibog lang ko ba kay imong previous post ni ingon man gud ka

"Jesus The Christ was even a freethinker,
--- how come he promote dogma? dont get confused reg..."

pero sa imong recent post :

"I dont believe Christ promoted Dogma. No religion will save you dba? so question is how? "if you love me keep my commandments" mao rani brad.

medyo naglibog ko which is which...pero ok na kasabot nako brad....

di na lang ko mo tubag sa imo follow up question why i think Jesus was against dogmas kay ma OT na ta...plus mag lalis pa jud....tig basa man kaha ka bible bro....paki check for yourself na lang ha...
dali ra man na ma discern....kato bitaw ni lalis ug ni supak siya sa high priests....e.g healing during sabbath etc etc

hahaha i like

lagi lagi...in my opinion Christianity = Spirit of the Law while ang Churchianity = Letter of the Law
