I, the real Rick C. Hodgin, did not write the post I'm quoting.
It is written by a coward named Leigh Johnston who likes to parody
my posts with his anti-Christ rhetoric. He teaches people false
things and piles upon his own head punishment that he cannot even
imagine. It breaks my heart to see.
Examine the headers and see the difference. I only post from Google
News, or Eternal September, and from Indianapolis, IN.
To address his false teaching:
Each religion on Earth, except Biblical Christianity, is based
on some kind of works. You have to attain some purity, seek
some quest to rid yourself of this, or receive another thing.
Only Biblical Christianity teaches that you are not good enough
to approach God based on your sin, and that you need a savior
to make a way out of your guilt.
Jesus is that savior. He came to be that very savior. His
name literally means "God who saves" in the same way the name
Shoemaker means "one who makes shoes."
Jesus will forgive your sin and give you eternal life, and go
on with you for the rest of your days here on this Earth to
reach others, teach others, and to sanctify the things in your
life which are not pleasing to God.
You will discern true Christians separate from the multitudes
of people who think they are Christians by their fruit. Those
who are Christ's will teach of Christ, and (over the course of
their life) be continually revamping the things of their life
to be more and more like Christ Himself.
