[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3415519, member: 7900"] Very true. Because many here may not have access to the religious forum categories, I'll post the opening post to a thread I started in that area. Primarily, I provided "my" answers to four questions that I like to ask of believers. I merely ask others to answer the questions to themselves. "First Questions for Believers (that is the title of the thread in Faith and Fellowship) Over my numerous years, I've had lots of discussions with people of all kinds of "faiths" and churches. Over that time, I've learned that for any of the Christian belief, there are a few important questions that relate to us and our beliefs. My first question when visiting with believers is this: Who will judge us all in the end? In my opinion, the answer has to be God/Jesus, primarily Jesus as He says in the Bible that he will "turn over his church to the Father" after the judgement. That then prompts the second question, which is: Has He given us anything by which we can determine how he wants us to live and worship? To me, the answer would be the Bible. The third question, although not really important except to judge the outcome of our future, is to ask, "Are there examples within the Bible that shows the consequences for our actions?" (In this case, there are examples in both the Old and New Testaments as to punishment for those that defied God's commandments.) That then brings us to the fourth question, which could be one that really makes us think about our beliefs. That question is: "If we teach and practice anything other that what the Bible speaks of, are we then to be considered "false prophets?" Any thoughts?" [/QUOTE]
