Is this a confusing topic or do I need to make it simpler?
Um, yes it can. Jesus Christ clearly cut out most if not nearly all Jewish practices we had (And my peep has never been happier about it). Judaism is The History that lead to Jesus.
Everyone doesn't have good in them. Only the Lord Christ can make someone white and that is what death on the Christ was for. God said our good deeds were like dirty rags. (I am only going metaphysical here because you seem content to hammer it out like this)
But thats the problem with black and white arguments, the argument base itself is flawed.
No, it cannot, because the God of Judaism, and the God of Christianity are basically the same. I can say that because of Messianic Judaism. The Book of Life was even spoke about in the New Testament, was it not? The same one.
People do have good in them, we are not 100% evil, because we can change. We are not condemned to one fate because we are grey. Complex, isn't it?
The argument is not flawed. It's because we disagree.
Jesus Said no man comes to the Father except through me and only those who accepted Christ will be found in the book of life. Which basically nullifies that argument or whatever that was.
Any who sins falls short of the Glory of God.
You don't even know what Messianic Judaism is. Research, then come back to me before you cast it off.
We all fall short, but we are not fully evil. So we are not black. We are not so simple to label like that. Not black because they that would mean to be accepted into heaven, we would need to be white, and only one man has pulled that off.
But, I'm pretty sure there is more than just The Lord and his son in Heaven
Yes I do. But I also believe in Lord Jesus's words a lot more then what the Messianic Jews did. Messianic Judaism believes Jesus is the messiah they waited for (He is) but they continue most Jewish traditions (They don't have to but it's not a bad thing either).
That is why we must BELIEVE in Jesus because he paid for our sins. Jesus paid for our sins because otherwise no man would be able to go to heaven because all men are sinners. Yes, we are all black.
They continue on because you need to remember that these traditions were done before the Messiah was even on Earth. So they continue on to assure that they will not slip up, as you say so.
Not black, It's a transition
in the evil terms
Satan------------------------Humans--------------------------The Lord
We're in between so that we can decide which way to go. We can't be black or white, but we sure can be grey!
I don't care what Messianic Jews do. Personally as long as they have the Jesus is messiah deal down we are fine.
And you didn't say anything about the major part of that post =.=.=
I even made a pretty graph for it! D:
Because I disagree with it ^_^
Humans are not in the Middle. We are saved through God's grace, not through our actions. We are in the black.
And because I disagree, it doesn't matter to me.
and that's what you do, you say you are bored and then leave
We are saved, but our actions cannot be ignored. It's not a free pass to do whatever you want. And that's why we are grey, because we sin even when we accept the Lord.
I am bored I have been saying the same thing for like 2 or 3 pages and no progress so far even though you haven't come close to despiting me.
But for the world, if this weren't a metaphysical debate, the most boring of all debates, I'd stick to it. Make it politics facts or whatever, and get rid of my calculus and other several homeworks and sure I'd be there. But Quad please don't act like I do this to you everytime debate, since this is our second real debate, and I rarely if ever do this. Would you? ^_^
We are still White even if we sin after accepting Christ. But since we accepted Christ we wish to do God's will and that is to not sin. But we aren't grey.
This is over.
