Goodness Gracious Remix:
I have observed countless posts here at EvC regarding the essence of religion and behavior.
My hope is that
this topic can provide a forum for additional discussion regarding basic Christian doctorine as interpreted by the participant.
While I want to limit this discussion to Christianity, I realize that as individuals, we each have beliefs which are intrinsically
valid based upon our own heartfelt interpretations of them. Some believe that the Bible is innerrent and infallible.
Others believe that the Bible is but one of many books and writings which serve as an overall moral guideline.
In this topic, I want to focus our discussion primarily at the following issue:
Do people become spiritually attuned and ready for a meeting with God through our own efforts and behaviors, or do we become attuned and in common union (communion) with God through His Spirit and His grace?
Faith and Belief, please.
