Historic Riverside Church recommends first woman as senior minister

[Zaac]

Item 2: "There are many roads, not just one"
Item 3: "Sinners are equal to the saved"
Item 5: "The Bible is more a set of guidelines than actual rules"

Without moral absolutes, there are no moral absolutes. Consider carefully.

I was thinking the same things.

Along with

Item 1: YUCK!
Item 7: Not what we were commissioned to do. God already has a timetable and time for when HE will do this.

#2 is enough to discount the remainder!!!!:tear::tear:

While other points may SOUND plausible, knowing the result of believing something in direct contrast with Jesus statement ("No man cometh to the Father---") the other points are rendered impotent!!

It's not a Christian church. It's not a Christian ministry. There is nothing Christian about this.


Why is it being lifted up ?

Check this out…..



…..Nowhere does Jesus connect forgiveness of sin with his death. I agree with Leslie Weatherhead, who wrote: “Sin is not something that can be ‘paid for’ by the suffering of another. Both the nature of sin and the nature of God are distorted by this idea.”

According to the Bible, many of the religions of the Middle East practiced human sacrifice, but God would not allow the Israelites to practice it. So if God truly abhorred the practice and refused to allow human sacrifice, how can we justify the claim that God sacrificed Jesus for the atonement of our sins?

British theologian Nathaniel Micklem said, “We pervert the idea of God if we allow ourselves to suppose that God did not and could not forgive sins apart from the death of Christ.” We limit God if we suggest that God would not forgive our sins without Jesus’ sacrificial death. Besides, Jesus never called himself “the Lamb of God,” who was sacrificed for the sins of the world…..

I've been saying this guy ain't a Christian for years. Looks like I'm right.

*picking up my jaw from the floor*

So Jesus died for nothing? For no reason? Maybe just for fun????????? What the HECK book are they reading??????

My goodness. That's awful.

Crabtownboy needs to be banned.

 

[kyredneck]

That has to be along the order of perverseness like the Nicolaitans. Has to be.

Did you report the post with the link? You should.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

OK, I did.

How about some more of C.T.Boy's blasphemy ?

A human father would be arrested for child abuse if he allowed his son to be nailed to a cross for any purpose. However, it continues to be a tenant of Christianity that God required Jesus to suffer death on the cross for our sins. God being willing to make such a sacrifice supposedly makes God more holy and more worthy of worship. I think any deity who required his son to be sacrificed is loathsome rather than worthy of worship.

Isn't that "enlightened" ? Don't you feel his intellectual better-than-us-ness ? Man, if only to have some of these "insights" God saves just for him.

If this non-Christian liberalism IS the aftual belief of Crabtown Boy (and not just that on a link he listed), he will be gone. We will not allow such blatant error on the BB

Will question him and close this thread until FACTS come out. His open praise and acceptance of a priestitute in the OP is so sad.
