Lemme guess, this is another of those "Questions" which is supposed to provoke thought about how the Christians have "lost" the "Real Faith" that Mohammad "revived" in Islam.
I seriously wonder when the Muslims will understand that nobody really cares about their Political and Religious Agenda?
I suppose they want to force the rest of the World to get disgusted with them to such an extent where they'll all get together to exterminate them.
Well, it's your life.
Merry Christmas!!
God Bless America!!
[I don't care if that offends the Muslims.]

You kind of wonder these days don't ya? I don't think it is the faith part so much as it is the morals part. No wonder Jesus said "When I return will I find any faith left?" Not that he didn't know , it was just a rhetorical question.

No, most Protestant churches put too much emphasis on faith by saying salvation by faith alone. That is unbiblical. I have yet to find anyone who can show me the verse.
James 2:24, "For we hold that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone."
Catholics believe in salvation by God's grace alone. We must have faith in Him and do good works as well to show our faith. Paul succinctly puts it as "faith working through love." The Bible shows us being judged by our works, so it cannot be by faith alone.
Contrary to common misconception, the Catholic Church does not teach a doctrine of salvation by works.

Yep. Do this and do that. Don't do this and don't do that. Sing in the choir! My faith is deep and real and I had to tell my best friend that it was not going to make me more saved to sing in the choir or make me more spiritual.
God Bless,

No, the roots are still there, people are using faith to not have to look.

Oh boy, if purely human beings paid interest to the scriptures, that they had see HOW Jesus in no way EVER berated a woman, belittled them! Come on, the guy exchange into contesting each and every abusive regulation of the non secular government of his time. Do you fairly think of that God meant for women folk human beings to be advert vitam aeternam mistreated and humiliated by guys? a similar God who positioned a demonstration on Cain so as that he won't be killed, even after he cursed him for killing his brother? God loves and treats all and sundry the two. I had my themes with that total "being submissive on your husband" area, fairly having observed in a fashion of existence the place men take care of girls human beings like products of **** and ladies human beings enable them to accomplish that because of the fact they have been instructed that it particularly is their functionality to be "subservient", oops, "submissive." although, St Paul suggested that the two Christians, the two women folk and men human beings, could be submissive to a minimum of one yet another. So, i assume, you notice the place i decide on that. He additionally suggested that men have been the top of the spouse and toddlers (I won't even start up with the cultural historic context here) merely like Jesus exchange into the top of the church. Did Jesus see to be a despot to you? the guy who washed his disciples' ft and in specific circumstances cooked for them? the solid shepherd who's able to head each and every thing to discover one lost sheep? that's what human beings, numerous men don't get: being the govt potential HAVING a lot of household initiatives AND responsibilities in the direction of the folk who're below you. You owe them no longer the way around. they're going to be submissive to you because of the fact they understand you will safeguard them without abusing your skill and which you're to blame of the can charge given to you. So do no longer LOSE faith IN GOD because of the fact human beings had the audacity to pervert his words and commandments for their very own advantages. God's a feminist: he needs women folk and men human beings to have a similar rights.
