Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower

hi guys,
yeah, looks like American people are in most need of 'rescuing' from the malicious monarchy(headed by Bush, at the moment) much more than the iraqis from saddam. atleast, sadam was transparent than bush and didnt use mind games. its a pity they cheat their own people.
this is what happens when one thinks he isnt accountable for his actions to God, and believes Jesus died for his sins.
now, who will rescue the americans? -

Peace peacefulmuslim,
by "one" do you mean Bush or Christians in general?
If you refer to Christians in general, they do believe they are accountable for their actions. The concepts of reward and punishment are in their belief too. -
hi Elena,
i was talking of Bush and fellow christians.(he is a devout christian).
christians of today, believe their entry to heaven is through prayers to Jesus and nothing to do with their deeds(good/bad). they believe -Jesus died for mankind's sins, man is a born potential sinner.
i was very surprised when i heard this belief the first time coz even i believed what u do. i have had discussions with christians over this as well.give this a read
http//www.beliefnet.com/story/173/story_17379_1.htmlAre we not communicating the Bible, which clearly teaches that Jesus is the only way to God and that no amount of good deeds or random acts of kindness can get anyone into heaven? Are we not making it clear that salvation cannot be bought?except with the blood of Jesus?
We must return to Scripture, which clearly indicates that salvation does not exist apart from Christ and that we can be saved only by grace and not by works.
These aren't my concepts?they're from the Word of God. Jesus Himself said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 146, NIV).

HI Tay,
i watched the videos. truly amazing, indeed. A country fooling/controlling the whole world! wonder what would happen a few yrs from now, if this condition prevails.
white house is already dictating every other country what to do and what not to. what next? -

yes, prayers are a part of the doctrine, they are needed, but deeds are part of the doctrine too. The way to eternal life is believing in God + comply the comandments + prayers and sacraments, that said in a brief summary.Comply the comandments = good deeds. Breaking them = sins.
Sins can be forgiven here by bishops and priests through the penitence sacrament if they truly repent.The importance of the prayer is that they are the tool (+ the sacraments) to ge the state of "grace", a state needed to be able to comply the comandments.
I was brought up into that doctrine, Catholicism to be exact.

hi Elena,
To be honest, am very glad u(being a christian, yourself) consider deeds are important!
but i have come across and infact was preached christianity(the belief that deeds dont matter and the only way to heaven being through the blood of christ) by devout christians(here in britain)
And if u have read the link i have given, u would understand what i am trying to say. infact, i had discussions on beliefnet(pages 17 to 11) over the article, with people of all faiths. u can have a read there as well, to understand this is a common belief among most christians, sadly.Jesus Alone
Salvation cannot be bought except through the blood of Jesus. It doesn't get any clearer than that.

white house is already dictating every other country what to do and what not to. what next?I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. The only thing we can do is our own little part. If each of us spreads the knowledge and spreads good energy, it will slowly change the tide. I think we're headed towards a spiritual and mental revolution. People will reach a breaking point.
Peace,

I am not Christian, I received that indoctrination, I don't carry any label of any belief. Anyway, what I was giving you is a summary of how is the doctrine, not my view.
I don't get that of the blood of Christ. Christianity has a lot of groups.
