"I am the way, the truth and the life; No man cometh unto the Father but by me" - Jesus Christ (John 14:6)


Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. "Thou art Christ, the son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16)


He died on the cross sacrificing his blood to pay for our sins, he was buried and he is risen.

"He is not here: For he is risen, as he said. Come see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:6)


Repent, come to God by faith, realise you are a sinner, we are all sinners.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, believe that he died on the cross for our sins, believe and ask the Lord for forgiveness and you shall be saved.

"For the wages of sin is death; But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23)


Turn your back on sin and live Holy in the sight of the Lord.

"Because it is written, be ye Holy; for I am Holy" (1 Peter 1:16)


Pray

Dear Jesus

I admit that I am a sinner deserving of Hell, I am guilty for breaking your holy commandments. I believe that you died on the cross to pay for my sins, were buried and bodily ressurected three days later. Please forgive me of my sins, write me in the book of life, Lord come and take over the throne of my life, I believe upon you as my personal savior. In Jesus Christ name.

Amen

I think that makes you more 'spiritual' than religious Lou...pour yourself another one, hic!

Your group is superior to all others? Because that what it means to say that 'Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven'. If those signing up to your narrow doctrine will be rewarded with eternity in paradise, what are you suggesting happens to everyone else - hell?


Basically what you're saying is 'I am superior, I will be rewarded for my righteousness and anyone who disagrees is damned'. Think about that, is it really what you believe?

Goodness me I had a heavy one yesterday. Sorry for any stupid posts on here. I agree with the whole premise let people believe what they want freedom of choice to believe what you want etc. I do find organised religion too reliant on ancient 'facts' which do not adapt to scientific findings and changes in certain realities. I think there is a lot we do not know and will never know about why we are here on earth, but I don't personally believe religion can answer those questions.

My mums funeral was in a CoE church - but rather than let the Vicar take the service

she requested a lay person friend of hers - and they let that happen. So effectively

we used the church but brought her own people in.

That can be the case. But most people of faith are harmless. Food banks are provided by a faith based charities for example. As for those that take their beliefs to a level of fascism, then we are dealing with a psychology that would believe in just about anything that empowers their sense of importance. Most faith is culturally nurtured through childhood as we all know and that for me is where the line between a gentle moral philosophy (ie to be giving, do good etc) and the heavy indoctrination of false absolutes (creationism over evolution for example) is a fine one and should be monitored better than it is.

Good choice IMO JohnL. It's nice to have that spiritual element as a nod to what may or may not be beyond this life waiting for us, but equally that personal touch of letting a loved one or friend take the service is such a great tribute to the individual and a memory for everyone who's survived that person.

    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
