I find it interesting that over a difference of opinion, the other gets accused of having NEVER read the Bible. What's up with that? [

Some are here to demonstrate exactly how unlovable we really are. - LOL [

St. SteVen said: Oh my. Like what? I view the atonement as a complete and finished work. I wouldn't connect that to the one-time event of the atonement. Jesus said, "It is finished." What was finished? BTW: I understand that there are differing views on the atonement. I...

The reason this is "necessary, but impermissible" is because of human nature. [ cc: @Lambano

St. SteVen said: Here's a question: What do the three biblical doctrines of the final judgement say about the character of God? 1) Damnationism (eternal conscious torment) 2) Annihilationism (complete destruction) 3) Christian Universalism (Ultimate Redemption/UR) Yes. -...

BINGO! That's a good observation and great question. Thanks. The good news is that one age can follow the previous one. The age of evaluation/correction/restoration and reward will only need to happen once. The future ages can go on for eternity. Ephesians 2:6-8 NIV And God raised us up...

Oh my. Like what? I view the atonement as a complete and finished work. [

Not what it says. (fact check) Matt 19:9 NIV I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” [

I'm of the opinion that when God looks at a situation like this, He doesn't open the laws books. Rather, He opens His heart. There are victims. [

Interesting question. Thanks. Borders, boundaries and divisions. When we draw lines we create division. If you cross a line, there may be consequences. One one side of the line is "us", and on the other side is "them". Is this what God had in mind? Did we have His permission? [

So you condemn the entire church except for your little tribe? How convenient. Did you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity? Who decides? [

Are you saved by the religion of "Christianity"? [

St. SteVen said: Jesus represents the New Testament, not the Old Testament. You disagree? Luke 22:20 NIV In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. [

Observations about the law, the Law, God's law, Christ's law - four different things [

Jesus represents the New Testament, not the Old Testament. John 1:17 NIV For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. [

No. I believe that Jesus came to deconstruct the law. What He did was not a sin. Galatians 3:23-25 NIV Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came...
