Puts me in mind of a story I read once. Ah, here it is.

Quote:

Luk 18:9 ¶ And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Luk 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Yea! Thank you for standing up for the Truth! I agree with what the Bible says is True, not with what man's doctrine is.

That's why G-d's not a man.

Why would anyone think the listed commandments and precepts are the stairway to heaven? These guidelines to humanity are so that we improve as individuals. When we do mitzvot, we do good.

Your problem is not if Satan (HaSatan: adversary, accuser) is a real individual, it's how you react and overcome when confronted by adversity.

From my understanding most Christian denominations, if not all, teach conversion. Some are just more aggressive than others.

For the purposes of the research, a biblical worldview was defined as believing that absolute moral truths exist; that such truth is defined by the Bible; and firm belief in six specific religious views. Those views were that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life; God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He stills rules it today; salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned; Satan is real; a Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people; and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
