The Learned

Is this all it takes to be a Christian: 1 - confess that Jesus is lord  2 - that he died for my sins 3 - that God is a Trinity  4 - be baptised  5 - accept Jesus as my saviour  6 - that the Bible is 100% truth and 100% inspired by God  My answer: Pretty much yes to all those things but that doesn't necessarily make you a Christian.... You can do all that and still go to hell.. you need to have a personal relationship with Christ and He needs to be Lord over your life. Lip serving without a sincere heart doesn't mean anything. God sees your heart. Some people say the sinner's prayer and think they're saved forever because they simply chanted a few magic words. It doesn't work like that at all.

I have a doctorate degree in Christian Education and can teach you on Zoom for free. I am not saying I know a ton. What matters is not how much you know about Jesus but how much you know Jesus as a person

Q:  My husband basically bans everything -- even broccoli and bananas! He says it's too sweet for my 20 month old. A: I know he is being picky but he has good reasons whatever they are. It doesn't hurt to be picky but it does hurt him by insisting he is being picky. If I were you, I would just let it go and let him do the feeding.
