like for example, god returns tomorrow, could people witness this and then repent their sins and be saved or is there a cut off time after which no one can be saved

My friend recently got a tattoo that says "Sola Cristos". He claims that it's Latin meaning "only Christ". I believe him about the meaning, but I don't think that the grammar is correct. Is the grammar correct? Is that the correct meaning?

Yes, coloUr is the correct spelling.

On here, I see constant references to Native Americans, African American, August Bank Holiday Island somewhere in the Pacific Americans. Yet, allegedly, you have a country.

Do any of you consider yourselves American Americans, or are you all just temporary visitors?

Pretribulationalists support view that believers of Jesus are taken up or rapture before antichrist ravaging the world with the devil and the false prophet. This threesome together can be regarded as counterfeit trinity. If this view is correct, we will find the left behind are people who have no Christ. However, those interpret otherwise seem to encourage believers to stand firm while they go through the tribulations before they meet Jesus. Some however hold that we are now in such tribulations. I hope pretibulationalists are correct in their view. I do want to be raptured before the tribulations if I could live that long to see this prophecy fulfilled.

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. He that sacrificeth unto any god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed." (Exodus 22:18-20)

These verses and the power of religious belief led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent people throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

these verses not only authorize the executions but they explicitly command them.

Verse 18 justified burning women in Europe judged as witches. In America, the Salem witch trials brought the deaths of both women and men.

verse 20 has been used to justify religious wars, Crusades and the slaughter of unbelievers throughout Europe, the condemnation of heretics continues.

I will never forget when I tripped upon the orgy of tongue-speaking. Im agnostic now, but a friend wanted to check out this church, and i tagged along...holy cow!

I grew-up in a multi-lingual home. Ive travelled and heard many dialects. I tell you now, not one single babbler was doing anything but babbling?

Whats the purpose anyway? Whats God getting out of this insanity?

I've heard them preach that the "Only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ" and that Jews, Muslims, Buddhists etc, etc will be denied entry. Are they preaching religious discrimination and hatred. What crazy notion gave them the only key to the pearly gates ? Perhaps mometary greed in disguise?

I was taught at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) that Christmas is a time of joy. The professor said it was not about Christ's birth. The professor also said that wishing someone Merry Christmas was politically correct, at least in an empirical sense.
