    Why would God love me?

    Isaiah 49 14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Matthew 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. The word is proagousin: to lead forward, lead forth There is an order which...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    And yet, all flesh shall see the salvation of God because all crooked ways will be made straight. These aren't my words, this is from the Bible. First comes the correction, then comes the eternal life. No one who has hate has eternal life, so the correction is that God removes his hate through...

    I quoted Luke, why are you quoting a different book entirely?

    Abortion

    I still have no idea who was kicking from inside my wife's belly if gestating babies aren't alive.

    Why would God love me?

    Exactly this - because we're a smaller version of Him that He created.

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Let's start with this one: Luke 3 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. So will all flesh see the salvation of God or...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Why are you ignoring the one or two dozen Bible quotes I posted regarding this?

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    I interpret this as the woman making an offering to God, rather than the poor, and Jesus saying that an offering to God is accepted in the spirit it's offered just as much as an offering to the poor is accepted. It's like the difference between a monk and a charity worker. A monk devotes his...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Addressed in my other posts. Paul explicitly says twice, before and after this verse, YOU are the temple.

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Yes, first they will depart and be punished, then be saved after. Matthew 18 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. Sin incurs a debt but not an eternal debt. You are delivered to tormentors until the debt is paid in full...

    Two sides of the gulf: hell and paradise.

    34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

    Why would God love me?

    The capacity of one's ability to receive love is limited by one's capacity to give love. Or in other words, God is all-loving, and all-forgiving, but we sin, and then we say in our hearts "God, I don't deserve to be loved, I deserve to be punished, because I wasn't loving enough to you". Or...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    The interpretation is indeed wrong, in that the punishment is not eternal but finite. In the original greek, there is never any mention of eternal punishment but only an "aeon" of punishment. Aeon is a fixed length of time.

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Though I agree in a general sense, there are trip-ups that can happen to a faithful Christian. Some people live sinful lives, then realize how much they hurt others and repent -- this is good. Some people though, are decent enough, but live in perpetual anxiety of eternal damnation -- this is...

    Spiritual power comes from virtue

    An interesting scene from the Bible talking about the nature of spiritual power: Mark 9 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his...

    Was Jesus a Jew ???

    Ethnically, Jesus was a special case. I wouldn't say he was any race, being a divine being.
