I know those who are saved will be like him when he returns, i.e., resurrected into a new body. It takes discernment to reconcile apparent contradictions in Scripture. As @faithhopecharity has pointed out along with me, there are verses that are milk and there are verses that require more of us...

Hebrews 10:26

Just because we know one thing does not mean we know another thing.

Thanks for your many thoughtful posts. In response to your question, all I read is a repeating of dogma, a non-responsive reply, especially in light where Scripture says there is a sin that no sacrifice (including Jesus' work on the cross) covers.

Baptism. Judgment Day. Not the same day. No one but Christ has yet been resurrected into a glorified body. Perhaps you are talking spiritual symbolism in this thread from our walk so far, whereas I'm talking about what has yet to pass?

Exactly! Flip tables over. Whip at people. Buy a sword. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. Then smite evil out of existence (top priority upon 2nd Coming + Lake of Fire). The teachings and example of Jesus.

You don't recognize the contradiction.

You still don’t get it. I’m not saying anything like God is not able to save whoever he wants. I’m saying humility prevents me from claiming I know with certainty who he’s going to save.

It's really that simple. @Debp has started many threads sadly showing this is not the case in the UK.

I'm reminded that God left the naming, the categorizing the animals for Adam. Horse kind. Cat kind. Lizard kind. Bird kind. Another category is commitment level. Talk is cheap. Many say all the right things. Deeds tell the story. This is not a secondary issue. Unity isn't agreeing on...

He fails to grasp Venn diagrams and Odoro Amoris. We have multiple responsibilities - not just fealty to one thing. When Christ said to "love your enemies," he was talking about at the personal level. Christ was NOT commanding we act treasonously to the civil authorities. Therefore, "we" are...

Religion is one aspect of the human condition - as are politics and culture, technology, etc. I understand the Bible has been translated into Klingon. Have you read about Thomas Aquinas Ordoro Amoris?

I think you are conflating 2 points: the requirement for salvation from living the Christian life. For salvation, church is not required. To live the Christian life, it is. Iron sharpens iron. Only by living life with other believers can one put the principles into practice.

No coveting there!

That is my position also. The purpose of government is not charity but to help people protect their property rights, PERIOD, FULL STOP. Anyone can give to charity to their hearts content and there are many excellent charitable organizations.

Saw a meme that pointed out the Iran war cost less than the fraud in Minnesota.

Two things can be true at the same time. Go away troll.

Quoting Jesus: Buy a sword.

Don’t feed the troll.

After reading 5,000 of @amigo de christo posts railing against it, you still won't! LOL He doesn't like people of different faiths to come together in common cause. Afraid he is this will give rise to one world religion, I think.
