"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.

    • Hi, Looking for a small olive tree as an alternative to the traditional Christmas tree if anyone has any leads. Seeing as european pines have been used to colonise Palestine for the last 75 years, the birthplace of Jesus I thought it would be better to rethink this tradition. Thanks, Neil
    • That is chilling.  I hope that someone has reported the ones who filmed themselves having sex with girls/women and then passed the film to other people.  They should all be arrested. I remember hearing about a BBC radio reporter called Benjamin Wilkins was arrested in 2008 and jailed in 2010 for filming himself having sex with quite a number of women via a hidden camera in his bedroom.  He also had a camera in the bathroom.  The footage was discovered by a a girlfriend who contacted a woman in the film and she went to the police.  He pleaded guilty to11 counts of voyeurism and sentenced to 8 months in prison.    He did not pass the films to anyone else.  Info about Wilkins is still out there.  Several newspapers including the Telegraph and the Daily Record wrote about it.
