God just is Love. I do not see how one can love, and not be like unto Him. I commend the strategy to you. Best wishes, 2RM.

Try as I might, I just can't go along with this. Seems to me to be a very misanthropic view of people, society, the world. Mostly, I find, people are reasonably good, and I love them that way. Best wishes, 2RM

'Now there is a new covenant.' So, I have heard of such. What, do you think, is the new covenant? Best wishes, 2RM

Yes. Justice and the law seem to have a slight relationship, so slight that many think it is purely coincidental. We don't have the capacity to alter Justice, but maybe we can tinker with the law. Best wishes, 2RM

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

There are, of course, two ways to understand the word 'argument'. The first is the everyday use, is to mean the exchange, often vehement, between people who disagree with each other. The second, used in philosophy and debate, is to mean the rational construction of a point of view. The...

And peace be unto thee, my friend. Best wishes, 2RM.

I never thought otherwise. But I started the thread for the purpose of debate. Do not be surprised if you are expected to defend your position. Thank you for your permission. Best wishes, 2RM

The Christian God is a redemptive God. We should imitate that. You can't redeem those you kill. Best wishes, 2RM.

If there is an error about souls surviving the body, and the existence of heaven, even on the cross Jesus was subject to it: So, is it your contention then, that Jesus was a heretic? Best wishes, 2RM. * Luke 23:43 KJV

The presence of God, who is half pain, half joy, total ecstasy. Best wishes, 2RM.

That doesn't follow at all, either from what I have posted thus far on this thread (1), or, indeed, logically (2). 1) Please quote me where I have said 'people notice'. I have confined so far those that notice any virtue I can claim to myself and God, and these are sufficient for me. 2) Various...

I'm not entirely sure I get your point, or it's relevance to my post. Perhaps you would care to elaborate, for my poor second rate mind? Best wishes, 2RM.

For me, Jesus is my saviour and example. Best wishes, 2RM.

I do. And it leaves me with a quiet conscience, so I believe God notices, as well. Best wishes, 2RM.

Primarily by the way you live your life. Best wishes, 2RM.

Both. But I believe that passage to heaven is not epistemological, nor ethical, but ontological. In other words It's not primarily about what we think we know, or our good works, but about our way of being, our characters. That's not to belittle faith or works, but they depend very much on who...

Am I going to end up in Heaven? I have absolutely no idea. I believe in a triune God, and that He wants to save us all. But I'm an ornery sort of critter, and there is plenty about the Bible and Christian doctrine I cannot, in all conscience, agree to. So I will leave it God to decide whether He...

Hmmm. Religion: 'the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.' Christianity: 'the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ, or its beliefs and practices.' I should think you would have tough time finding supporting evidence...

And to you too, my friend. Best wishes, 2RM.
