I think most Christians not understanding that there very existence being a miracle is a big part of the problem. If life itself isn't a miracle, then that doesn't help in them believing any other miracle. The "education system" telling them that they are a bag of dirt and atoms who evolved from...

Where exactly does it say any of this in the constitution? So the government can deny me the right to eat a cheeseburger? Is that the idea here?

Yes, I'm sure we all know that, although there are some who will elevate themselves to make them the bastion of truth.

What does any of this have to do with turning the gospel of salvation in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross into one about salvation by our own works? My point is that this can be easily done by evolution because it is based on the works of the creation at its core and not on the...

Ok, I'll stop screwing around and explain how I think evolution can very, VERY easily become a salvation issue. Evolution, whether it is theistic or secular requires chance mutation, natural selection, death, and very long time periods. Nevermind the fact that this undermines the gospel at a...

I am 100% certain that it will to some though. Its just a matter of how the Devil will spin it to make it a salvation issue. Its quite easy to do actually, to take it from faith based to one of works. You just have to think like the enemy to see it.

Oh, I'm not so certain that there won't be unbelievers in hell. What brand of unbelievers may John be referring to here? Based on what Jesus once said, you might be right, in part at least. So it will be more tolerable for the sinners of Sodom than it will be for those who rejected Jesus...

The way I currently understand it is that God may predetermine for all to believe in Jesus and be saved as it is not his wish that any should perish, but not all are chosen, or justified. According to the parable of the marriage feast Jesus Christ gave, there is a difference between being called...

Someone who believes himself a bastion of truth, even above and in stark contrast to the written word. There are a lot of those types here that I don't particularly care much for.

Yes, I "follow after him". Have I conversed with him personally? No, I'm not one of these 'oracles' claiming to "know God", I know of him.

Depends on what you mean by "walking with God".

I know I'm saved, and that's all that matters in the end. "walk with God" m'kay, whatever.

"Restitution of all things". What the O.T prophets spoke about: By the "restitution of all things", Peter was referring to the restoration of Gods kingdom on earth, which will last forever. Some may be grafted onto the olive tree of salvation, and others may be cast aside because of...

At what point did I ever say that Paul craved death to be with the Lord? Can you quote Paul on that or are you just getting this from those preaching Gnosticism on here? Dead or alive, if God wants you, he will take you. This is proven with the transfiguration.

.....You shouldn't need someone else's book to tell you what Paul plainly wrote. Reading the whole scripture makes it was very clear on what he actually meant. But from my time being here, I see most Christians don't really bother comprehending scripture in whole, they just like to take a small...

....wow, just when I thought I heard it all.

m'kay.....

:confused: We are "already saved"...........but we are also "being saved".........but at the same time we ain't, because "will be saved".........man, what a mental marathon this is.

I was in a live YouTube hangout once discussing the subject of hell at length with these "Annihilationists". I vaguely recall one of them bringing up a video they wanted me to watch that they claim proves their beliefs. I'm pretty sure it was "Hell Bound". But, after spending an hour or so going...
