Conservative Christians Unite

The Priests
28-10-2003, 16:20
Nationstates is home to many people from all walks of life. The Region known as the Isle of Believers is home to Conservative Christian Nations.

We have a website, a doctrinal statement, a UN regional policy and a lot of fun.

The requirements for joining our region are to confess your faith in Jesus who is the Christ.

We believe in salvation by the unmerited grace of God alone, through faith alone in Christ alone.

We do not consider Mormons, JW's or any other cultists to be Christians.

We consider Catholics acceptable provided that they understand that we do not pray to Mary or any other dead people. We believe in Salvation through Christ ALONE, not by works.

If you are still interested and meet the criteria, please come check us out.

Let us know and we'll be happy to send you the password for our region.

Respectfully,

Hs. Eternal Learner of The Priests
Founder of The Isle of Believers

Hmm a May nation making thier 1st post....

You believe in christ alone? What of his dad? And you say you do not pray to dead people? But Christ is dead, is he not? and if he is not he is as alive as mary of any other person who lived in his time no?

Who said that most conservatives are atheist, or that most Christians dislike conservatives?

How wonderful that the region considers that Catholics are "acceptable" Christians with some provisos. I wish that I could be present when you fools try to explain to Saint Peter that you should be allowed into Heaven based on your faith alone.

Nevertheless, should you or any of the other schismatics on your region wish to return to the Church universal, I invite you to participate in the Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=85354) to see if the breach between us cannot be bridged.

I fear we cannot join your region, as we see 'conservative christian' to be a contradiction in itself. As most conservatives are athiest and most christians dislike conservatives.

Also, you believe in christ alone? What of his dad? And you say you do not pray to dead people? But Christ is dead, is he not? and if he is not he is as alive as mary of any other person who lived in his time no?

1st-Nothing wrong with a conservative christian.
2nd-Christ defeated death. (rose from the dead)
3rd-This is not to be dissucussed in this forum

What an odd post. Most conservatives are aethiests? I dislike conservatives? I wish I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have voted that way in the last few elections. But wait, the people I voted for claimed to be Christian conservatives too. Now I'm confused. Where are these extremly liberal Christians you speak of?
And, Christ IS His own Father. He is God made flesh. Christ is alive, not dead, He was only dead for three days. Mary is a human being, not a God. I don't even believe that Catholics pray to Mary, or the other saints, but rather ask themm to pray for the, uh.... prayee?
Well, I am regional delegate of The United Peoples of Abraham. We are a faith-based region that welcomes all members of the so-called "three faiths." That would be, Christian, Muslim and Jewish. We are very inclusive and are proud to claim two aethiests and a Mormon among our members. We DO NOT have a statement of faith as we beleive that one would preclude many members from being there. I should maybe mention that we also have SEVERAL Catholic members. Never thought it was an issue myself, they follow my God, and they are just as offended by my beliefs about Him as I am about theirs, so we agree to disagree.
And here is the really funny thing! WE all really like and respect eachother, and get along despite our differences. And these are all people who believe very strongly in their particular denominations. Check it out, and sorry for highjacking your thread.

The Church is doomed to failure anyway, religion is a dying caste. The only true belief is the universe. That we as humans are completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things and that God does not control the universe, probability does. All we as Humanity can do is to embrace this belief and make the most of our puny existence living in harmony with nature. We hope that you 'Conservative Christians' leave ignorance and embrace the wisdom of our words.

RELIGION ALMOST DEAD!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

I'm sorry but aren't people in the middle east dying for the religon, both Jewish and Muslim alike?

Aren't there still a ton of Catholics and all the other smaller denomiations still around?

Isn't American still mostly Christian?

Isn't Asia still mostly Buddist or Hindu or whatever else?

Religion is anything but dead! Unless you look at America or Canada, where its dying. (Yes I'm am American and proud of it!)

Well, I am regional delegate of The United Peoples of Abraham. We are a faith-based region that welcomes all members of the so-called "three faiths." That would be, Christian, Muslim and Jewish.

What about Ba'hais? They are a faith that split from Islam, are they not 'Children of Abraham'?

Even if we wanted to we couldn't join this Region called the "Isle of Believers" as we practice Freedom of Religion, one of the most popular religions in Kecha is simply called "Empress Worship" it is centered on the belief that the current Empress is a Demigod, and those who came before her and have passed on are full Goddesses, we find that allowing this instills strong loyalty.

It's a denomination (sp?) of Islam/ the muslim world. Is not the Catholic faith split from say Methodists? Yet they still believe in Christ and therfore the SHOULD be one and the same.

No, Methodists are split from the Catholic faith, not the other way around. 8) I'm not sure the analogy holds in this case though, but I dont' know much about Ba'hais...

No, no. Ba'hais are more like Christianity is to Judaism. They believe there was a prophet after Mohammud.(sp?)

Ba'hais are not a Muslim schismatic, they area faith that recognises the teachings of eight completely seperate faiths. Those faiths include Judiasm, Christianity, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism, etc. Then, their founders teachings take precendence over any of the contradictions that may arise from trying to integrate so many different faiths. As you read in my post though, that was the basis for my region, the three faiths. However, we now have other faiths in our region, and would welcome any, I think. We reach out in love. Yes, we expect a certain amount of respect and courtesy to all our members, but we have never had to take action as everybody seems quite comfortable and we genuinely like eachother.

Ok it is still the same god, right? I think thats the main point with the Christian, Muslim, and Jew region thing.

Why is it we seperate Catholic and Christian?

Is it we? I want to work for unity. I DO NOT agree with Catholics on pionts of theology. They don't agree with me. Does it matter? I once saw a speaker that really changed the way I saw the arguements. He was speaking to a group of 10,000 Pastors, Ministers and Priests. He asked them, "What denomination or church body do you belong to?"
The response was loud, but unintelligable.
Then he asked, "Who is your Lord and Savior?"
They answered in one clear voice, "Jesus Christ!"
That is the basis for what I see as unity.
