This is a follow-up to the previous topic: Were messianic prophecies acquired, rather than intended? (in the original texts) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/were-messianic-prophecies-acquired-rather-than-intended-in-the-original-texts.67180/ In the previous topic it was somewhat...

Because it is not the norm. But does happen sometimes. But not all the time, or she would not have been baffled. This is why I think it is a mistake to assume a person has to make a decision before they enter the afterlife. There will an Age of Restoration where all this is sorted out. Jesus...

Exactly. Countless billions have gone to the afterlife with no knowledge of Jesus. Christians consider them to be hell-bound haters of God. (pagans) [

"... all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." - Rom.3:23 NIV And this is deserving of wrath? Perhaps we need to discuss what that means? (wrath) Does God have anger management issues? (tyrant) ??? [

It seems that the Fall was anticipated. Does that deserve wrath as a response? [

Do you think that global genocide was the best solution to the world problems in Noah's day? It seems to be a very rash reaction to the problem. Destroy everything and start over? Wow. Seems to be a mistake in planning. God was even quoted as saying he had regrets. [

Agree. Why are we at enmity with God? Was the Fall a big surprise? (or part of the plan) What was the plan? Sorry for so many post responses. Well worth discussing. IMHO [

If Jesus died to save us from God, then the problem isn't on our end. It indicates that something is terribly wrong with God. (or our twisted view of Him) [

The Brad Jersak version. (my preference) [

St. SteVen said: Did Jesus die to save us from God? Thanks for your response. The question is designed to point out the absurdity of Christian doctrine on the subject. So, it surprises me when I get a response like yours. No offense, but it seems like the typical knee-jerk...

Is that your opinion, or is there some historical evidence for this? I doubt that Iceland had concerns about immigration. [

True or false? Greenland isn't green and Iceland isn't icy. Who switched the names? [

If that is true concerning absolute truth, then you should be able to answer these questions. - What was God doing before he did this? - Why did He do this? - Was global genocide the best solution to the world in Noah's day? - What are his long-term plans for us? - What will he do next? [

The absolute truth is known to God, but is a mystery (unknown) to us. Even if we knew it, we couldn't comprehend it. And we have been limited by God so that faith would be required. We have enough truth to exercise faith. [

You appear to be stuck. I can't help you. God knows the absolute truth, but we don't. There would be no faith if we did. [

There we go, a double superlative. Absolute truthfully. - LOL Absolute truthfully - Do we know what it is? [

Nonsense. Abiding in Christ is the biggest test of our faith. Faith means a lack of certainty. (absolute truth) [
