>What is the gospel?
The gospel is the message that Jesus Christ, although existed in the very form of God, did not consider that equality something to be held onto and chose to leave that heavenly place, enter into his own creation and die for the sins of his people. But guess what he rose on the third day because death could not hold it's grip on the blessed son of God and when you are resurrected on the day of judgement the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead will also be the same spirit that raised you on the last day.

>How to enter heaven
One enters into heaven through faith alone, for Christ had already died for our sins and so what could we possibly add on to that? Are we to say that the blood of Christ is not sufficient and we are to add onto that? No, his blood cleansed us of sin and to be cleansed of your sins you first must believe and Christ will do the rest.

I invite Christians, agnostics, atheists and everything in between, that includes people of other faith, to discuss Christianity and learn more about the largest religion in the world. God bless! I the past I have tried to appeal to non-believers by kinda white washing but now, none of that but also be prepared because you might not get the answers you like although they might be true. I have also created a discord server which is mainly for Christians and non-believers looking for a discussion. It's not really meant for discussion, but if you do cause trouble, you will be removed from the server.

>>37936898
>Actually here's the answer
Good question! I deliberately not include the answer so that people can ask this question and I can respond to it. The reason why I do this is because I believe that through conversation and effective questioning it can cause you to think deeper about the truth of the gospel. Ok, I'll begin.

Yes, we are saved by faith alone apart from works. This is an undeniable truth of scripture Jut look at this verse from Ephesians in the Bible

>For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

But then this makes one wonder. Doesn't this contradict James?

>You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
James 2:24

But what one must first understand is that there are two kinds of faith. One is false faith, the type that even the devil has, then there's true faith; the type that brings forth good fruits IE proof of it's existence by doing good works. A better verse to understand this would be on James as well.

>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=james+2:14-20
James 2:14-20

So what does this tell us? It says that if you have faith but it does not bring good fruits then it is false. A truly saved man will do good works not to get something out of God since his heavenly place has been set for him since he has been saved by the blood of Christ but rather that we do it out of love. You treat your children nicely out of love not to seem good to them, and so we do the same for god. We love God and so try to please him. Theoretically, you could be saved and go out on a murder spree, but you wouldn't do that due to your love of God.

Hope that answered your question.

But despite this, they tend to still disagree for whatever reason and regard it as false.

Basically what I'm trying to say is I just don't tend to appeal to authority. Science can be wrong sometimes too, ya know.

Which is, quite literally, an appeal to authority.

>Could you expand on this point specifically: "across hundreds of different disciplines."
Just about every scientific discipline has contributed to the development of evolutionary theory, and benefits from evolutionary theory (biology chiefly). It's probably an exaggeration to say "hundreds," but you get the point.

More importantly, where do you think mankind came from?

I'm not trying to get into a scientific debate, argue about genes or alleles, I just want to know if you're the type of person, when faced with scientific data, will run from it, or seek out knowledge. Clearly you are the former.

Well, that's the thing about science. It's not infallible. There is a chance, although quite small, that it might wrong. But God is never wrong since he is the one who created the universe and it's logic that we live in.

>Clearly you are the former.
No, it's not that it's just that science is not my place, so I tend to just stay away from it.

>So, you take the bible literally? As in Genesis, great flood, all that fun stuff? That's mankind's origin? Help me understand what you're getting at
I believe it as literal to an extent. I believe that science can better help us understand the Bible. In places that it talks about the four corners of the earth I know it's talking about north east south and west because of science. But in the end, if the bible says something clearly then it is quite clear what God means by this.

>I believe it as literal to an extent. I believe that science can better help us understand the Bible

I have way too much on my hands right now to starts studying evolution. Perhaps something that I will do later in life when I'm well into the thresholds of adulthood. But as of now, I'll just study church history and the Bible itself.

>Like the age of the earth, the development of life, etc?

Nope, I acknowledged your point, just pointed out a contradiction. Laws of nature are...laws created by God, right? But science, according to you "might be wrong," but "God is never wrong." You see the contradiction here right? Anyway, that's not important.

>I have way too much on my hands right now to starts studying evolution.
That's fine, because you were SUPPOSED to have been taught it at an early age. Maybe you just forgot, or chose not to listen? I don't know

>Not a young earth creationist. And the development of the earth could very well be metaphorical. I think you might wanna read the work by Thomas Aquinas who discusses issues like these.
So if it was metaphorical, when do you think original sin occurred? How do you think humans came to be? Are we made in God's image then if it's metaphorical?

Yeah, you have missed my point. I was saying that God is always correct, but science is fallible, it can be wrong. And all it would take is one false conclusion to make a part of science false.

God =/= science. Science is man's trying to figure out ow the world works and can be wrong at times. On the other hands, God is infallible.

>That's fine, because you were SUPPOSED to have been taught it at an early age. Maybe you just forgot, or chose not to listen? I don't know
yeah, I was taught it but there was a time when schools also taught that the earth was flat. But that didn't work out very well, did it?

>sin occurred?
After both as soon as Adam and Eve ate from the apple of the tree of knowledge.

>How do you think humans came to be?
Through God making them. It doesn't go into too much detail and has led some to think that they were created through evolution.

>Are we made in God's image then if it's metaphorical?
We are but not in the literal sense that we are mini-gods but rather like him we desire justice and to not be wronged among other things. This is all a gift from God. We are like God.

>Further, what portions of the Bible can be taken as metaphor and others as fact?
#It's fairly obvious depending on the context, but a better way to understand is to know the linguistic style of 1st-century Israel and understand how they spoke. So short paragraphs which don't go into detail and seem to be using vague and majestic language tend to be metaphorical. But other things such as the resurrection and Jesus walking on water seem to be actual events that happened based off of the context.

Apparently not, when there are still YEC's and people like myself on this earth.

Yes, I'm here defining science as humans trying to make conclusions based on observations about the universe, which can be wrong. But God, on the other hand, cannot and is infallible.

You haven't really answered my point but have only just moved the goal post. But that was never simply taught that God created us that's it. Science was also in involved like how were we created and what not.

>When in the literal or metaphorical garden of Eden? The one that literally contradicts with science,
I believe in the garden of Eden. Also, how does it contradict with science?

>Apparently not, when there are still YEC's and people like myself on this earth.
What is YEC? Also, even if it was clear people would still just try to find other reasons to disbelieve in the Bible.

I am most definitely not, but I'll try help you out.

>which of these events I should take as literal and which as metaphorical?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
>Creation of earth in Genesis
Metaphorical. Thomas Aquinas talks about how the words used are parallel to that of early Jewish parables and tales. So most likely it is metaphorical. Also, there are gaps in between, and one might assume that the days are not meant to be literal.

>Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden
True.

>Tower of Babel
True

>Noah, the ark and the flood
True

I went to church for the first time in years last week, though I've been a Christian for a few years. It was the best I've felt in a while. You can really feel God's presence
Matthew 18:20 -
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them
>>
>>37939054
It was for his love of people that compelled him to so. Yes, one enters into heaven by faith alone, but there is still a lot of hardships that some face in life. Christ came down and healed people to ease them of pain, but that wasn't the only point. There was a deeper meaning in that the fact that despite he did miracles and stuff people still disbelieved him. The Pharisees said that he was taking out demons by the power of the devil, which was, in fact, an unforgivable sin. The people who "followed" him all went running when he was about to be crucified. In fact, they didn't really like him and thought since he has powers they could gain something from him.

While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name. 24But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew all men. 25He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man
John 2:23-24

It was him making a point, him trying to tell us something and overall teach us a lesson.

>You haven't really answered my point
Well, I only did what you did. Thought it was appropriate to point out that. I figured you were going for a "well, science is always changing and popular consensus can be different one day" so I thought I'd include another piece of "popular" (though I believe Christianity is hemorrhaging followers) consensus into the mix.

>I believe in the garden of Eden. Also, how does it contradict with science?
Well, the story of mankind dates back many millions of years. There were many different iterations of species leading up to "us," including different kinds of humans! Many! Maybe contradiction was a strong word. I just find the "garden of eden" thing leaves a lot of questions. Knowing what we know about humans (what I just stated), which kind of humans were in the garden of eden at the time? They simply couldn't have been the only two either.

>What is YEC?
YEC=Young Earth Creationism.
>Also, even if it was clear people would still just try to find other reasons to disbelieve in the Bible.
Yes, like science and reason, or the fact that it clashes with our understanding of how the universe works?

>Adam & Eve
Would you like me to explain why this is wrong?

>Tower of Babel
Would you like me to explain why this is wrong?

>Noah, the ark and the flood
Oh man, now I REALLY wanna explain why this is impossible.

>unanimously
Oh shit, I HAVE talked to you before. You're the guy who thinks a few new testament "scholars" who assert the supernatural "can be possible" counts as unanimous agreement among actual scholars. Damn dude, don't you know lying is a sin?

What's that book you're going to recommend to me now, The Case for Christ? That one?

Thank you Op for posting a Christian thread. I always like to see hese on /r9k/.

We're not talking about Christian/Non-Christian "scholars," we're talking about people who AREN'T New Testament "scholars" verifying your wild claims. We're talking historians, archeologists, sociologists, psychologists and geologists verifying that it happened. And we're also talking about consensus and your use of the word "unanimous."

>non christians who believe that it in fact happened.
Well if it makes you feel any better, I believe that they believe it happened.

NOW, would you like to hear why Noah's Ark is literally impossible?

You mean historians? Ok then yeah, there are historians who believe in the vision to the 500.

>And we're also talking about consensus and your use of the word "unanimous."
Well, that's the thing, not every historian, archaeologists, sociologists, psychologists and geologists are researching the Bible. We're just talking about from those who do study it.

>Well if it makes you feel any better, I believe that they believe it happened.
Ok, now you're the conspiracy theorist. This is literally a unanimously agreed fact among atheist, agnostic and theist Bible scholars and historians.

>You mean historians? Ok then yeah, there are historians who believe in the vision to the 500.
I believe that a few historians at some Christian Universities believe in the acts of Jesus Christ as literal fact. Though, I'd be interested in seeing some historical documentation (that isn't the bible) that proves Christ walked on water, fed the many, healed the sick, etc.

>Well, that's the thing, not every historian, archaeologists, sociologists, psychologists and geologists are researching the Bible.
And why do you think secular scholars (see: The vast majority of scholars) aren't studying the bible? If it were such a foundational document, and could be verified as being true across the board, ours would be a drastically, drastically different path. There would be no "secular" scholarship, because biblical pursuit would be so foundational. We'd devote all of our time to understanding and researching the bible. But we don't. It's a niche area of interest for a reason.

>We're just talking about from those who do study it.
Would you ask a creationist to explain evolutionary theory?

>Ok, now you're the conspiracy theorist.
Do go on.

>This is literally a unanimously agreed fact among atheist, agnostic and theist Bible scholars and historians.
So basipally, they believe that people believe they saw Jesus do those things? Good to know.
>Bible Scholars and historians
Hey, at least you're being honest about your "unanimous" agreement among "scholars"

Now, how would you like to hear about how the Ark and the flood is bullshit?

Hey, do you have discord or something? I would love to carry on this talk, but it's 2:17 am here in London, and I kinda need to go. I also, don't wanna lose you and not being able to answer some of your points so could you perhaps send me your discord or something and then maybe I can answer your points at a later time?

Nah mate. No discord. It's been a fun talk though. Maybe we'll meet again.

It's 7:30 p.m. in burgerstan

I'm going to unironically recommend you visit this place (and yes, it is Reddit): https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/

I think you'd enjoy visiting there and discussing your ideas with some of the people there. It's got a good mix of people, who are willing to politely engage in debate with you about anything. I'd be interested in seeing what they make of your points.

Have a Gondola, and have a good night.

Been there and enjoyed it. I was a RedditFag before I came to 4chan.

And a good night to you too.
