Without that redemption God may very well have seen it better to end civilization before it could start, due to his foreknowledge of the fall of man but that is speculation. Paul also struggled with sin. He put living this life and running a race seriously and shedding hindrances Hebrews 12:1

Jesus succeeds in gathering His sheep. Others are at the mercy of their own masters.

Satan and the fallen angels will not be reunited with God. They will suffer the second death, which is total destruction. So everything that remains afterwards will be reunited. But that which no longer exists can't be reunited.

What about Satan and the other fallen angels? Are you saying they will be reunited too? Those that experience the second death will not be reunited.

A swine will always return to wallowing. If someone was unwilling to repent in this life why would they repent in the next? Just to gain entry, then it's back to sinning as usual.

Forever or at least until the second death, which results in the destruction of the soul. There is no word on how quick or slow that second death will be. So I don't preclude it from taking an eternity.

I am not from a denomination that practices confessions to a priest. There is a benefit, in confessing sins to one another, it creates accountability which leads to greater self discipline. Cain asked God, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The answer to that question implied by Cain's evil deed and...

There is more to Christian living than forgiveness of sins. There is also decipleship.

Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. If someone's course leads to Hell, and they stay on it, that is where they will end up.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

Does being approached by someone you want to avoid make you a Victim? Very telling.

Meanwhile God is blasphemed against every day. But you don't hear of Christians taking the law into their own hands to behead the offenders. Seems like its something you shouldn't be complaining about. Cause if you lived in that world you wouldn't like it.

Still unsatisfied with the answers or in this case the questions?

Yes, and I believe the day of rest foreshadows the millennial kingdom. As the feasts foreshadowed other events surrounding Jesus. The Sabbath is also reminder to work while we still can, because time is short and once we die we can no longer work in this world. Additionally the hardness of...

It would seem that God's justice establishes fairness. As revealed in the parable with Lazarus and the rich man. "But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish."...

There are cultures where there are more social expectations. I noticed this when visiting Japan. There is more hospitality towards guests than in the US. Their people are generally respectful of others, actually giving a thought to what may cause inconvenience. Japan is mostly secular, with...

So long as it is clear the reason for your love is because of the love of God displayed in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This is something I brought up with you before, you must be courageous with name of Jesus, despite living in a country where that is not socially acceptable. No one is...

This is the very thing I was warning against. Language barrier?

In short Jesus Christ is the person born 2000 years ago who lived a perfectly sinless life and died as a sacrifice to cover the sins of mankind. Believing in Jesus Christ is believing in his death burial and resurrection. No, he is the cornerstone.

I am warning about creating stumbling blocks for people, which can be anything other than belief in Jesus Christ.
