So, universalism is correct doctrine, then?

Same here and why I put him on ignore months ago.

Exactly! I’ve said as much to him. Funny how political correctness has affected the church. Can’t call things by their proper name. It offends people. @Matthias certainly is not a Christian apologist! When he runs out of things to condemn Christian’s about, he invents pacifist standards to...

This is an overly strict take on defense. It's unreasonable to suppose one is burdened with forever blocking punches and must allow the enemy to forever be afforded the opportunity to attack you lest you be accused of "going on offense."

I agree but noticed you did not vote in the poll.

Notice how the Muslim apologists here (@Matthias) has nothing to say about such evil?

It's not that he is merely hypocritical about something he's not thought through. He's fanatically devoted to over-spiritualization, life ending pacificism, and living by inverted moral poles, categorizing laziness and cowardice as morally superior to those who take responsibility for their own...

Other pacifists falsely claim God stopped commanding people to use violence in the OT days.

Pacifism rejects the virtue of prudence. Watched a vid over the weekend of a lawyer who played a vid from a story about 6 months ago. A crazy woman in a Walmart parking lot stabbed a 3 year old when the cart was at the back of the car and the mother put something in the front seat, i.e...

The other thing is framing the Crusaders always as the aggressors when they were reacting to centuries of pillaging, plundering, raping, enslaving and war mongering by the Islamic Jihadi's. The Crusaders do it a small fraction in response and the Muslims and their apologists have been whining...

Bread is not one of the 6 worldly, soulful items specified, showing you’re taking a fleshy command falsely into a symbolic reference out of context. Good day.

Neither God nor Christ is having this conversation. It's just your position and my position. Get over yourself! No one ever said it's not God's salvation through Christ. You're just in denial that when the captain sends the ship to rescue the drowning man at see, the ensign who throws the...

That's bravado, which I'm generally in favor. However, this goes against protocol. While I'm not privy to how the protocol was developed, we have to trust those with the authority to create protocol have good reason to do what they do. One can think of reasons to pause the event: The crime...

Wrong again. My position is every moment we must maintain the humility of acting as one who needs a Lord and Savior. You imply once done, we can sin with impunity - or worse, deny it is possible for us to even sin after being saved, despite the evidence, invoking Ex post facto.

The church? Strawman. He told his disciples To take up carnal weapons.

Why can’t you simply answer yes, it will be a theocracy?

That's precisely what the Crusades did - advance the kingdom of God. There is more than one way to advance the kingdom of God and Scripture is filled with examples of using violence to achieve those ends. See the God commanded Conquest of Canaan. It's a story that you couldn't have missed.

Yea, it's a much better witness for Christians to be wiped from the face of the Earth by those who wield carnal weapons! Seriously, there is hardly a better witness to wield carnal weapons for those who are claiming Christ since that's what Christ told us to do.

Lambano, another great post! You are on fire in this thread. Maslow's hierarchy of needs identifies trust as a human need. But what are we trusting? Is it the next high? The next drink? The next sexual conquest? The next million dollars? Or is the trust in the rock of salvation?

We agree with the part not in red. You are denying human's role in their own salvation. Why else would Paul write at Phil 2:12 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling? And why else is universal salvation not proper doctrine? Because God's mercy has limits and it's not all about his...
