Oh, but there are preachings that say that salvation is given, and faith alone guarantees that. Some church preaches that its impossible for man not to sin but its because god's grace (i.e. jesus dying on the cross) that they receive salvation by faith alone (John 3:16). I've heard that message...

well, you tell me.

Allow me to ask a simple question: do gay christians go to heaven? According to other Christian denominations (such as hillsongs etc which i'm not sure what category they fall in), every sin is the same. they are still sin, theres no sin greater than the other. as long as the sinner receives...

lol.

Indeed, i agree with you on tolerance. I am however appreciative that Australia is at least much better than many other countries that are totally ignorant about homosexuals. Yes definitely I agree where there are also many non-christians gays of other religions that live with the shame. the...

Well definitely christian morals have their merit, but the christian interpretation of the bible is not perfect. You said that efforts to dismantle rationales in law have resulted in messes of biblical proportions. Well, in that case the law shouldn't have changed in regards to women, where...

Honestly, I think that Australia is doing much better than the US in terms of tolerance and acceptance. Churches in the US are more vocal than over here. While our law is separate from the church, you would find that a lot of legal principles have biblical roots. Furthermore, our judiciary is...

I get you. The OT was the more boring part of the bible. The new testament was exciting because we get to see Jesus. I prefer reading the new testament because Jesus taught more love than to hate and condemn where the OT is filled with such. That being said, I did read the OT. Most of the...

Indeed, I wouldn't dare to make claims of the bible, if I have not read it.

Erm, i read a lot of the bible? What is it that I said was incorrect? I haven't pointed out any doctrine yet. All I did was mention that "some" christians are not doing the right thing, not "all" christians. After all, we humans are flawed and can never make every perfect decision.

Apology accepted.

Yes it doesn't make me right. I'm not against christianity, if that is what you are thinking. I'm just against the actions of certain church people who think they have the very right to judge others and uses the name of god in vain. In fact, I have really good Christian friends even though...

good evening to you too. Why do I need to leave? Did I break the rules? I really don't think so. I'm sorry if you were offended by my words (which shouldn't be offensive). Please thread them lightly as this is just a forum.

yes that is so true. Even till today, there are still debates on scriptures.. because it is all based on interpretation. I love your signature btw...(the naruto vs ichigo)

haha. You only say that because you couldn't disprove me otherwise. Why don't you just give up and acknowledge that I have.

And what makes you think I haven't? Care to enlighten me?

I know and have read the bible. Christians believe that the bible is an inspired word of God, written by men and it cannot be read literally. Otherwise, every Christian should be punish because they would be considered breaking the old testament rules (like shaving, or even wearing clothes made...

First of all, I'm amazed by how ignorant some of the replies in this thread are. We are talking about the life of a nine year old girl whose life is at risk if she continues to carry the twins, NOT a healthy and capable woman. If you people are against abortion, please do so in other threads...

Are the students at UTS at an advantage because they can choose to undertake the PLT as part of their course component?

Thanks. thats exactly what I needed to hear. What you said makes whole lot of sense. I guess my position now is as about the same as most combined degree LLB students as I'm entering into a law degree after finishing my current. I do not have employment history and as you mentioned that would...
