God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn't I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God's Son.
A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It's actually the opposite of that. It's realizing that we're all humans and that's why God sent his Son to this earth - to save people.
You know it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested not because Jesus was resurrected.
We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.
I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
Christianity emerged from the religion of Israel. Or rather it has as its background a persistent strain in that religion. To that strain Christians have looked back and rightly as the preparation in history for their faith.
Christianity has always embraced both reason and faith.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith about being held about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
