>Impossible task: Christians actually respecting the commendments of the all-powerful God that grants them eternal life if they do.
Atheists have no scientific refutation to monism.
>>18404242Make your own thread, stop derailing.
>>18404232Jesus died for your sins, so you don't have to do anything but believe in him to be saved. "Not by works, lest any man should boast." Trying to be saved by doing stuff demonstrates a lack of faith and amounts to a prideful rejection of God's generous offer, which is the only thing that can actually condemn you to an eternity in hell.>this is what many Christians actually believe btw
>>18404232What are you babbling about now?
>>18404351Christians fail to uphold the tenets of their own faith. Most treat the cardinal sins as a checklist. This is despite the promise of eternal life for the holy among us. How can you be so retarded as to sacrifice eternity for some minor comfort in the present? Or perhaps it is because they only pretend to believe so it's deceit rather than stupidity? Unironically what causes this?
>>18404242If you're a monist, hand over your banking credentials
I would say Fredrich is a intersting to read when youre bored and you want some intelectual memes to kill time.The problem is.. god is not dead, god never existed and his whole philosophy is moot point.Youre arguing with shadows.
>>18404375The promise of eternal life is found in Christ alone. It is indeed promised also to those who live righteously, but there is not one who meets the standards of the law, only damnation awaits that path. Forgiveness of sins and eternal life is promised to everyone who turns away from the deeds of the flesh to fix their hope in Christ, who performed the demands of the law on behalf of everyone who believes.There is no Christian alive who practices what he preaches, not because he does not care (on the contrary, he is only one who cares) but because sin still dwells in the flesh, and his members follow another law against the law of his mind. But he was set free from sin to love God and seek holiness, even though he fails his life a journey of sanctification and an unyielding war against the works of the devil. This freedom from sin and this reconciliation with God is promised to everyone who repents and believes.
>>18404393That doesn't address the point at all.
>>18404301>Jesus died for your sinsWhat sins? He died nearly 2000 years before I was born.
>>18404301The quote literally mentions election by divine grace, and while "The bible" says faith alone saves, it also says that faith is a gift by God, and that Christians are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". -Eph 2:10So if you don't do good works it seems like you don't have faith, or perhaps God will take away his gift? Idk."What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?"-James 2:14
