    So your church is the only correct one, the only way to salvation? There are many Catholics and Lutherans and Methodists who believe in salvation through grace (not works), through Jesus Christ.

    Wondergirl-i never said my church was the only correct one or the only way to salvation. Only the blood of christ one truly can be saved. Salvation is not found not in good works or in religion but in a person which is jesus. :)

    Maybe before you consider anything reliable for the websites that were posted you need to just look at the home page.

    Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven!


    Im sure Alex Jones is proud.

    I also wonder what you might believe in if you happened to be born and raised in Japan, for example... or perhaps in Egypt, or India?

    Im not so sure I would follow the teachings of a man that has to hide because he is a child molester. Very odd choice to be making if you ask me.

    This is the man that owns the website you referred to. And is preaching in the videos.

    So you think he is the end all and be all my dear? So this is the way you show your face to us to let us know what you believe in ?

    You are charlaten, and he who you follow.

    This thread should be closed before I hear anymore of your diatribe.

    Again, I have to wonder what you would believe if you were born elsewhere. You happened to be born in Florida and raised in a Christian household. Most people follow the beliefs that they were raised to believe in.

    What do you think becomes of those who were born and raised in China... Iran... Morocco... Japan, etc. where Christianity is not the most common religion?

    In response to your original question... if you feel that your beliefs would be in direct conflict with this man's, and that you would not be able to be accepting of his beliefs, then don't marry him.

    Just remember that acceptance does not have to mean agreeing. Most couples will find that they have differences that they will need to accept... or just agree to disagree.

    Don't even get into a serious relationship with him if you don't believe it will be what you are looking for.

    You were the one quoting scripture to back your claims that the Catholic Church is evil.

    Mark 7:6-13 (KJV)
    6 He answered and said unto them , Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written , This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do . 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said , Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say , If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many such like things do ye.



    Yet you prefer to ignore the truth when faced with it and follow someone who clearly can't follow your version of biblical teaching.

    The man is a hypocrite and until / unless he is repentant then he has no business trying to teach right and wrong to others. His view is warped at best.

    Califdadof3-maby he did repent I mean do you talk to him? And no I'm not ignoring anything since I read the article.

    I haven't spoken to him and I see nothing to indicate his repent. Have you spoken to him as a follower for your religion of 1 ?

    alifdadof3-well no. I have read that article before a very long time ago. I don't know David J. Stewart personally. A cult is a religious group that doesn't line up with biblical truth, a group that will teach something that will cause a person to not get saved... such as saying "baptism is necessary for salvation" or that "jesus was not God in the flesh." I have read a great deal of his website and as far as basic bible truth goes he is exactly right about all of it. He teaches salvation is by grace through faith, that Jesus is the son of God(God in the flesh). He exalts Jesus Christ all over his website. He goes by what the bible says so his site isn't a cult. He also exposes tons and tons of bad music and other false doctrines. As far as what he is teaching, it is exactly right, other than a few minor things that I don't agree with. He really seems like he loves the Lord. I have no idea if that article is true or not. That could be someone trying to ruin his name. If it were true, that's between him and God. I know a preacher that was really right with God and preached the truth in all of his sermons, he slipped into sin and committed adultery... he got right with God and started preaching again. A lot of people said he shouldn't be a preacher anymore because of it. We all sin and slip up, I fail God everyday of my life. I'm so grateful Jesus shed his blood for me because I'm a dirty sinner and there is no way I could ever earn my salvation. Even saved people still have a sin nature, we still slip up and sin even though we are saved. The same people that said that preacher shouldn't preach anymore are sinners too and also fail God. I believe like this... if someone is living in sin... for example... having sex outside of marriage and continue to do so.. then they shouldn't be preaching, singing in the choir, or anything else until they get that sin out of their life and ask for forgiveness. But if someone committed a sin in the past and has asked forgiveness for it and is trying their best to live right then they should be able to preach, sing in the choir, etc. God called Noah a preacher of righteousness, Noah also failed God when he got drunk. Failure isn't final with the Father. ALL of our sins are covered by Jesus blood. I hope that article isn't true. I have no way of knowing. All I know for sure is that his website goes by what the bible says. Also when your on his website, don't take his word for it, look it up in your bible and see if what he is saying is true. :)

    baptism is not necessary for salvation
    Jesus was God in the flesh
    salvation is by grace through faith
    goes by what the Bible says
    one cannot earn salvation
    saved people still have a sin nature
    ALL of our sins are covered by Jesus' blood

    If one believes the above, then what?

    I love that last post by wondergirl at 8:09... lol.. And now I think I'll fuel the fire a bit... First understand that I am a believer and accept what the bible teaches... a while back you all were ralking about man made traditions and religion...

    I hate to break the news to you, but the bible is man made too... I forget the year place and people, but a group of men decided what books would go into the bible and which wouldn't... they also decided in what light to show jesus... as in, they decided to make sure people believe that he is the son of God and that he lived essentially a sin free life...

    The bible as we know it is technically incomplete...

    The king james bible is simply a translation that james liked the best when he was growing up... That is, an interpretation of the hebrew and other languages into english...

    If I recall correctly, jesus asked peter to carry on with jesus' church... what church might that be??

    Like I said, I know I'm just tossing gas onto the fire here, but seriously... does your friend believe that jesus is the son of God? Has he accepted him into his life?

    As to your want of only getting into a serious relatonship... how can you possibly expect a guy to say that he will be with you forever and ever if he hasn' t had the chance to date you and get to know you on a deeper level? The way things usually happen is; dating, living together, marrying each other, finish the story with a couple different ways... Though, studies have shown that people who live together before marriage tend to not stay married than those who get married when living in separate houses...

    Have fun screaming at me now... ;) And please, correct me if I'm wrong in places...

    Oh, just as a reference, I read from a "new king james version" bible... :)

    Wondergirl-they still follow traditions which are unblibical.

    solidzane-the words in the bible is gods inspired word. How is that man made? About my friend he says he believes in god but he never told me he was a born again. Also he says gods name in vain a lot and I barely see his interest in living a christian life. But its his choice I'm not going to stop being his friend cause of that. And I know him at some deep level just not that relationship deep level. His religion is not the only thing that's a problem just a big portion of it. But its true people who live together before marriage tend to not stay married then those who living in separate houses :)also be careful about the type of bible you read.
