Abraham was saved by faith,yes, but his salvation was based on a future Redeemer to come, for without the shedding of Blood there is no remission of sins. The blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin it took the God/man to shed His blood.

well, love yes, but the gospel will often 'put people off' (1Co 1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

Scholasticism on the one hand denying tongues, fanaticism on the other holding to the 'spirit' over the Word. I prefer the middle way, yes there are spiritual gifts today but they are to go hand in hand with His Word.

Your first sentence "Your question is invalid, because an eternal lake of fire serves no purpose and is not Biblical". Is my question unbiblical or the Lake of fire? Once again...If hell/fire/hades is temporary, what purpose will the Lake of Fire serve throughout eternity after death and hell...

As we look to Him He molds and shapes. Look at the disciples as an example of diverse personalities and temperments. No molds here.

Thanks, but I don't believe you answered my question. If hell/fire/hades is temporary, what purpose will the Lake of Fire serve throughout eternity after death and hell have been cast into it?

God cares about the soul and each soul is dear to Him. Being black,white,Jew or Gentile does not affect the soul adversely whereas sexual impurity including homosexuality corrupts the soul of man. Christ Jesus shed His Blood to cleanse the soul of even one in bondage to homosexuality.

this is, I know, you'd rather hear yourself type than God's Word.

A little context on the passage. 1 John 3:4-9 4 ¶ Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows...

"4. The Koine Greek word "aionios" is used in Revelation 20:10 and Matthew 25:46 and has been translated forever and ever! But in Koine Greek it doesn't mean endless at all! The term "for ever, eternal, everlasting" as used in the Bible, means simply a period of time, limited or unlimited. It is...

First you say it is a catholic thing...no, it is a biblical thing. Then you say it means nothing but turn around and say it's refusal is a denial into heaven. Please don't spout things you have no knowledge of. BTW the Eucharist is not for unbelievers .

The heart is the CPU of our thoughts, affections and will.

Otherwise it causes me to wonder how one could take that stuff seriiously and still make competent decisions in other areas of life.

Why in the world do you want to enlist in the army while in the middle of a half baked relationship? Perhaps you want to flee? And now she is showing glee? You need to get the relationship mended or otherwise end it, Ring the bells or say your farewells, And of course the children are left...
