A question for a devoted Christian. - Page 15

"The only way to show thanks is by obeying the rules"
so please and thank you dont aplly?

actions speak louder than words. In this case the actions are the words

wait. so then please and thank you would be enough.

A Christian becomes innocent and there is no reason to work for redemption that you already have so the rules are obeyed as appreciation. So please and thank you are enough if said in the form of obedience

and only someone that was obedient would follow the rules. but i disagree that the only way they can show it is by obedience.

Once heard it taught, Good , better & best: It is best to do the right thing (right action) for the right reason; I'm not sure which is good or better; doing the wrong thing for the right reason or doing the right thing for the wrong reason but I didn't particularly accept (subscribe) to the teaching to begin with.

ethereal... why did jesus have to die? and why is there no hope for the rest of us without him.

not that you are particularly seeking an answer but others may so Jesus could have called forth an army of angels to pour from heaven (Aggamenon [sp]) destroying the earthly inhabitats (mankind).

According to the OT, we are here to learn the of the fruit of the tree from which our common ancesters ate from, Knowledge of Good & Evil, not only to make the distinction (OT) but to make the Good choice according to Christianity(NT).

Some thing does tend to bother me about the whole issue of Gay Rights? [actaually I have more than a few questions]
For an example christians call Jesus the Christ & speak of the Alpha & the Omega?
Which is related to no use of vowels in the Hebrew?
Not being pro-language {can sing nor play music} I am not sure what they mean? Languages have gender (m/f) which is not exactly what we conceive? So languages have vowels (vowel sounds)
Then spoken languages > symbols can be transmitted by combinations of sounds with a root form?
Hmm . . . every notice every once in a while you will hear some christian say something about agape' [sp] some greek word 'having a more defined or precise form' of Love?
But who speaks greek? especially some secular form which had greatly influenced & been influenced by many other languages? Koine Greek was more of the spoken common form rather than the high form used in government, etc.
The vowels were not given that the use of GOD"s Name was held sacred? Old timey thought "You could use the name of the spirit to call it forth & cammand the spirit?"
? true err in the way?
Any way they leave out the vowels as to hide the Name of GOD. The man, Jesus, came and lived the life didecated to GOD {& His Fellow man} supplied the vowels that man should know {the Name} of GOD. Then usage of the name had [>] different intent than normally given it?
Oh, we would need the greek manuscripts as well?
