According to John 20:23 that type of Christian can remit or retain sin. Do you believe the bible? Or do you want to explain it away? Do you want to accept the words of Christ or interpret them? This book is no joke, and it would behoove each and every one of us to redeem the time.

I am with you!!! The Bible is not a joke! I believe what is written because it is the word of the Lord.

Explain it away. No, its literature from thousands of years ago. I would never destroy any book or books. But I would certainly take the time to understand the time frame with which it was written. I would never accept it as a group of stories that is to be followed in this day and age. I don't view a painting without not understanding who the painter was and why he painted it. I might take some time to research the meaning behind it.
I could never accept the words in the NT the actual words of JC mainly because the stories were written in a completely different language then the supposed speaker used, thereby possibly changing the actual word or having a different meaning to it. Something like translating French into English using a dictionary. Many words in the languages are different. One has to look at the picture and find the painter and understand what they were trying to say and for what purpose..
Power is knowledge.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing he'd be something like a lvl 1 cleric, and those just aren't really powerfull in the beginning. I'd go with a berserker type character for those early game power needs.
Then again I've heard that a Manikean in the right standing is nearly godzilla powerfull...

Dear Friend,
"Hallijuah to the Lamb of God!"
There is "power" in the Name of... Jesus!
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Sincerely in Christ Jesus,
lostnsavd...

I've been a Christian in right standing for most of my life. There is so much more power in forging your own spiritual path, as I do now.

power? hehehehe! i guess that's what Christians like you are all about. gaining imaginary powers bestowed upon you by your imaginary invisible super being.
sorry kiddo, it would take belief in your powers for you to have any powers and i do not believe in your powers. you're just another superstitious wackadoo with an over sized ego and inflated sense of entitlement as far as i'm concerned.
