The gift of eternal life is for the redeemed. Everyone else dies. Everyone else is outside the city .. The liars, the murderers, the adulterers etc, and the wages of sin is death.

Mmm. Either you would trust NASA or a group of astrophysicists or some other individual scientists or a government or non government body to save your life, but either way you would be believing in their expertise to save your life. I think your non belief thesis has some holes.

Not on what you have said or insinuated, but it is a natural progression, and common among Christian faiths to do just that. Even the lead actor in "The Chosen" , the equivalent to a33rd degree freemason, speaks to and receives responses from dead saints. Such abominations would not be so...

Doctrine ought not to be judged as true or false based on who believes it, but on what the Bible teaches. The Bible declares death to be but a sleep from which believers will be awakened at the first resurrection (John 11:11-14, 25, 26; 1 Cor. 15:20, 51-54; 1 Thess. 4:14-17; 5:10). It is not...

That is one of the most amusing statements I have seen you come up with. By the time the Catholic Church was organized sufficiently to send missionaries anywhere, the Christian church was well established almost everywhere, and it came as a shock for people like Augustine to discover the...

@PinSeeker We are given many truths throughout scripture, on many different topics, and I'm sure you would agree with me that we cannot use a random interpretation of a scriptural teaching, say in the NT, that is contrary to that which is given us in the OT. The first time any teaching is given...

Unless He chooses to. Some highly selective reasoning there. You don't think many Christians struggle as much as their neighbors? Never mind the hypocrisy of the mega church pastors, everyone knows they are the exception. Ignore the fact that over 90% of soup kitchens, food banks etc are...

I'm not surprised you have read the Bible, I am surprised you would think I haven't.

I'm not here to exchange philosophical ideas that change with the weather. I'm here to testify of a risen person whom I have met and who guides, protects, and provides for every day. What's the alternative? Faith is a necessary component to every day life. When you trip the switch inside the...

God has had His people representing Him since creation. Look up the internet for presentations on theodicy. Oh please. Inequality to blame for cold heartless rampant mass murders...... Like several every week? No. Unbelief. Possibly in order to maintain their family's home and income, they...

My faith isn't in a belief. It is in a living risen savior, Jesus Christ. My faith isn't in what people teach concerning Jesus Christ, it is in the written word of God, Who has Himself verified His word as trustworthy. KJV Isaiah 46:9-10 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and...

The final authority on all faith and practise is the word of God.

It could equally be understood as, I am saying to you today... Your translation can be equally applied to Jesus'words, as they may be to their meeting together in paradise, for the comma want invented until a very long time after the conversation was first recorded, and was inserted according to...

I will exclude you from the generalization I made in the post previous to the one above. You seem to be the exception, recognizing how the world is progressing without God's laws, but not wanting a solution, or thinking it doesn't need one. In fact, you would rather double down and want those...

So you set your dog free like you want for yourself?

You're guessing.

Jesus and the apostles described His return: there are many aspects of that event that did not take place in the past.

So you think God's will overrides your will? The vast majority of mankind despises the very idea of God, wanting only their own way and seeking their own selfish ends. How does a God of love override another's purpose? That creates to be love, unless you believe in shotgun weddings. Do you...

One thing I notice among most atheists and agnostics, at least the ones who frequent here, is that they seem to fully recognize the evil and wickedness so common to man, and generally would seek a solution. What is so sad and inexplicable is that when presented with the solution by those here...
