It most certainly does.  God knows his people are sinners and he forgives them as long as they are sorry and continue to believe in Jesus as their savior.  If they are sorry, or stop committing so many sins but no longer believe in Jesus, then he does not forgive them.  Those people don't care, because they no longer believe in salvation, but God is still keeping track of them and will punish them after they die for their lack of belief, no matter how good they were compared to faithful Christians.[/quote]

My God is not that petty. [/quote]

You decided that christian beliefs are petty and invented your own god[/quote]

No, I decided your version of Christianity is petty and wrong. [/quote]

Well, again that's nice, but "what you decided" has no basis in fact or reality.[/quote]

Sure it does, just as much as yours does.  I've read the Bible.  I'm good at interpreting words.  [b]Lots of Christians disagree with you on this[/b]. [/quote]

So what -- Christianity is not a popularity contest. [/quote]

So you should stop pretending this is what all Christians believe. [/quote]

They are standard Christian beliefs and it's pretty obvious from this thread that not all Christians believe them.  Some people make up their own beliefs.[/quote]

They're not standard for my Protestant church.  Are you one of those born again types?[/quote]

You mean the "type" that follows God's word?
[/quote]

So your version of Christianity is the only right way.  You dismiss many mainstream Christian churches.  You're Shiite Christian. [/quote]

uh-oh -calling Christians who believe in salvation "Shites"[/quote]

Nope. Just those who think their way of Christianity is the only acceptable way. [/quote]

how to decide what is acceptable? - from the Bible, from Church doctrine, or inside people's heads by just deciding what seems right for themselves.  Maybe individuals can come up with something as good or even better than what's in the Bible or church doctrine, but they should at least acknowledge that they are making it up on their own and that they don't represent the word of god.[/quote]

Or maybe you should accept that you're making up which parts of the bible and which church's doctrine you choose to believe. [/quote]

Actually lots of people should accept that they believe what they want to, for instance al the people, like Luther, and Henry the 8th and Calvin, who start up new branches of Christianity because they don't like certain aspects of what they were taught.  But even al those branches, as well as the more recent evangelicals believe in heaven and hell.  Now hell is going out of style for some people.  Fine -- start you own branch of non-hell Christianity -- heaven only, which begs the question of why Christ died for our sins, if there is no hell to save us from, but maybe this new branch won't even believe that Christ died for us.  They'll just believe in some of the stuff Jesus said that makes them feel good.

So to those people who don't believe in hell -- do you also not believe Jesus died for our salvation?[/quote]

Do you believe in ESP and alien abductions?[/quote]
