This post is good support for not seeing the word sin in judgment contexts. Thank you for that.

I fail to see anything of substance in this response.

Show me where it says the unbelievers "will be judged for sins at the GWT."

There are no eternal consequences to personal sin. Sin was paid for at the Cross, nobody will answer for his sins (hence the word sin doesn't appear before any judgment passage, for both believers and unbelievers. See 2 Cor 5 and see that sins were imputed to Christ, not the one who commits...

I would disagree with 2. To say that "by faith in ONLY the death/burial/resurrection ...." fails to acknowledge the many colorful ways the Gospel is given in the New Testament. For example, Paul's presentation of the Gospel to the Philippian jailer was simply "believe in the Lord Jesus and you...

I don't recall saying anything close to that

What do you mean by common reader? Is this a reference to unbelievers, or Christians also? Read Rom 1 to see the pregospel understanding unbelievers have (quote previously) about God and judgment. I am afraid I don't quite follow your questions. Where, for example, do we find a text show that...

Don't mix up truth with interpretation. Every interpretation is the by-product of an interpretive method. Some people use a spiritual interpretation method while others use a literal interpretation method. These two factors will produce an interpretation of a passage quite differently from each...

I seek after Truth, not certainty

The word for 'seek' in Rom 3.11 is a different word than the one used in Acts 17. They are close, but one has a preposition with it, the other does not. I have not done any serious study of this apparent contradiction. Sorry

NET Bible (New English Translation) Luke 1: 1 Now many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning. 3 So it seemed good to me as well...

Maybe you could get another 100 on the Ark, but the whole world was destroyed. Remember, God created man to seek after Him. Man knows that there is a God, he is to be worshiped and he will one day give an account to God after death.

when a comment is not directly addressed in the Scriptures, you go to other texts to draw principles and precepts from the wealth of wisdom in the Bible. For example, one passages that bears on this issue is 1 Tim 2.4. Here, we are told about God's nature, it says, "I want all people to be saved...

I said nothing to contradict this comment of yours. We were not talking about how many died, but how many were saved. And, I dare you to prove me wrong.

I would say that most of the people in Noah's day were saved. Your numbers are sheer speculation and void of truth. Your numbers have no foundation. Now, Luke 17 is not about salvation. A quick reread of that section and you will not find anything referenced to salvation. I can see that you...

It's not that I am dismissing you, but I have a respect for the text of scripture that has to come first. In Hebrews 1 you will see that God used to speak to the fathers of old through visions and dreams. But in these last days (the Apostolic and Church ages) God no longer speaks to us. That is...

Harold said: All people will become believers in Christ and gain permanent life. Why is this not true for unbelieving angels? Isn't that a form of species-ism?

This verse does not appear in the oldest and best manuscripts. Based on syntax, grammar, and vocabulary this section of Mark was definitely authored by someone other than Mark.

I say that, for one. If you read Rom 1, you will see that non Christians are made aware, largely via being in the image of God, that God exists, and we are accountable to him. This divine intuition also convinces unbelievers that they are without excuse. So, all people know God, and that they...

No, hell is for eternity. I have never spoken on this topic. I was just letting babes in Christ know that you have not learned anything from Jesus. My posts are to show that your position is ludicrous
